If no election as to the Type of Domestic Revolving Borrowing or Ex-Im Borrowing is specified, then
the requested Borrowing shall be a CBFR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect
to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have

-40-
the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, as applicable, of the details thereof and of the

If no election as to the Type of Canadian Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Borrowing shall be a CP Borrowing or a USBR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with
respect to any requested CDOR Rate Borrowing or Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Canadian Borrower
shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s (or 30 days’ in the case of a

Section 2.04 Protective Advances.
(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the
Company, the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s
sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Domestic Revolving Loans to
the Company, on behalf of all Domestic Revolving Lenders, or direct the Canadian Agent to make
Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrower, on behalf of all Canadian Revolving Lenders,
which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to
preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or
maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other
amount chargeable to or required to be paid by such Borrower pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as
described in Section 9.03) and other sums
-41-
payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans to
the Company are herein referred to as “Domestic Protective Advances” and any of such Loans
to the Canadian Borrower are hereafter referred to as “Canadian Protective Advances”);
provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall
not at any time exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $10,000,000; provided further that, (A) the
Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus the
Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving
Commitments, (B) the aggregate amount of outstanding Domestic Protective Advances plus the
aggregate Domestic Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitment
minus the aggregate Ex-Im Exposure and minus the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate
Canadian Revolving
Exposure, (C) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of outstanding Canadian Protective
Advances plus the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Canadian Revolving Exposure shall not
exceed the aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitment and (D) no Lender’s Credit Exposure shall exceed
such Lender’s aggregate Commitment. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 4.02 (other than clause (c) thereof) have not been satisfied. The
Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Agents in and to the Collateral
as otherwise provided herein and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Canadian Protective
Advances shall be CP Borrowings or USBR Borrowings and all Domestic Protective Advances shall be
CBFR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Domestic Protective Advances and
to direct the Canadian Agent to make Canadian Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the
Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively
upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Domestic
Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the
Administrative Agent may request the Domestic Revolving Lenders to make a Domestic Revolving Loan
to repay a Domestic Protective Advance. At any time that there is sufficient Canadian Availability
and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative
Agent may request the Canadian Revolving Lenders to make a Canadian Revolving Loan to repay a
Canadian Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to
fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b).
(b) Upon the making of a Domestic Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether
before or after the occurrence of a Default) to the Company, each Domestic Revolving Lender shall
be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably
purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation in such Domestic Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the
Domestic Revolving Exposure. Upon the making of a Canadian Protective Advance by the Canadian
Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default) to the Canadian Borrower, each Canadian
Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have
unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Canadian Agent without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation in such Canadian Protective Advance in proportion to its
Applicable Percentage of the Canadian Revolving Exposure. From and after the date, if any, on
which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased
hereunder, the applicable Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by
such Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.
Section 2.05 Swingline Loans and Overadvances; Settlement of Ex-Im Revolving
Loans.
(a) The Agents, the Swingline Lenders and the Revolving Lenders agree that in order to
facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after the
Borrower Representative requests a CBFR Domestic Revolving Borrowing, a CP Canadian Revolving
Borrowing or a USBR Canadian Revolving Borrowing the applicable Swingline Lender may elect to have
the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing Request by advancing, on behalf of the
applicable Revolving Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the applicable
Borrower,
-42-
on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by
the Domestic Swingline Lender to the Company pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in
this Agreement as a “Domestic Swingline Loan” and each such Loan made solely by the
Canadian Swingline Lender to the Canadian Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to
in this Agreement as a “Canadian Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the
Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(d). Each Swingline
Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other CBFR Loans, CP Loans or
USBR Loans, as applicable, funded by the applicable Revolving Lenders, except that all payments
thereon shall be payable to the applicable Swingline Lender solely for its own account. In
addition, the Borrowers hereby authorize the Domestic Swingline Lender and the Canadian Swingline
Lender to, and each such Swingline Lender shall, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice
required), not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on each Business Day, make available to the
applicable Borrower by means of a credit to the applicable Funding Account(s), the proceeds of a
Domestic Swingline Loan or a Canadian Swingline Loan, as applicable, to the extent necessary to pay
items to be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account that day (as determined based on notice
from the Administrative Agent). The aggregate amount of Domestic Swingline Loans outstanding at
any time shall not exceed $15,000,000 and the aggregate amount of Canadian Swingline Loans
outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000. The Domestic
Swingline Lender shall not make any Domestic Swingline Loan if the requested Domestic Swingline
Loan exceeds Domestic Availability (before giving effect to such Domestic Swingline Loan). All
Domestic Swingline Loans shall be CBFR Borrowings. The Canadian Swingline Lender shall not make
any Canadian Swingline Loans if the requested Canadian Swingline Loan exceeds Canadian Availability
(before giving effect to such Canadian Swingline Loan). All Canadian Swingline Loans shall be CP
Borrowings or USBR Borrowings.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) at the request of the
Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely
no obligation), make Domestic Revolving Loans to the Company, on behalf of the Domestic Lenders, in
amounts that exceed Domestic Availability (any such excess Domestic Revolving Loans are herein
referred to collectively as “Domestic Overadvances”) and (ii) at the request of the
Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely
no obligation) direct the Canadian Agent to make Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrower,
on behalf of the Canadian Lenders, in amounts that exceed Canadian Availability (any such excess
Canadian Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “Canadian Overadvances”;
provided that, no Overadvance shall result in a Default due to the applicable Borrower’s
failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in
accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such
Overadvance. In addition, Overadvances may be made even if the applicable condition precedents set
forth in Section 4.02(c) and 4.03(a) has not been satisfied. All Domestic Overadvances shall
constitute CBFR Borrowings and all Canadian Overadvances shall constitute CP Borrowings or USBR
Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make Domestic Overadvances is limited to
an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time and the authority of the Canadian Agent
to make Canadian Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed the Dollar Equivalent
of $500,000 at any time. No Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than 60 days (which need
not be consecutive) in any 120 day period, no Overadvance shall cause any Domestic Revolving
Lender’s Domestic Revolving Exposure to exceed its Domestic Revolving Commitment and no Overadvance
shall cause any Canadian Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Canadian Revolving
Commitment; provided that, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative
Agent’s authorization to make Domestic Overadvances and to direct the Canadian Agent to make
Canadian Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective
prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.
(c) Upon the making of a Domestic Swingline Loan or Domestic Overadvance (whether before or
after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with
respect to such Domestic Swingline Loan or Domestic Overadvance), each Domestic
-43-
Revolving Lender
shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and
irrevocably purchased from the Domestic Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Domestic
Swingline Loan or Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Domestic Revolving
Commitment. Upon the making of a Canadian Swingline Loan or Canadian Overadvance (whether before
or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with
respect to such Canadian Swingline Loan or Canadian Overadvance), each Canadian Revolving Lender
shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and
irrevocably purchased from the Canadian Swingline Lender or the Canadian Agent, as the case may be,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Canadian Swingline
Loan or Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Canadian Revolving
Subcommitment. The applicable Swingline Lender or
Agent, as applicable, may, at any time, require the applicable Revolving Lenders to fund their
participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender is required to fund
its participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance purchased hereunder, the applicable Agent
shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of
principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by such Agent in respect of such
Loan.
(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a
“Settlement”) with the applicable Revolving Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any
date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the applicable Revolving Lenders of such
requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than noon, Chicago time on the
date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each applicable Revolving
Lender (other than the applicable Swingline Lender, in the case of Swingline Loans) shall transfer
the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of
the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to
such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than
2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a
Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV have then
been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the
amounts of the applicable Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with such Swingline
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such
Revolving Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent
by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the applicable Swingline Lender shall be entitled
to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in
Section 2.07.
(e) Promptly after the delivery of each Ex-Im Borrowing Base Certificate hereunder during the
Ex-Im Availability Period, the Administrative Agent will adjust the outstanding balances of the
Ex-Im Revolving Loans and the Domestic Revolving Loans so that the outstanding Ex-Im Revolving
Exposure is not in excess of the limitations and sublimits contained in Section 2.01(c) hereof. To
the extent necessary, (i) the Domestic Swingline Lender will make Domestic Swingline Loans to the
Company to enable the Company to make any payments in respect of the Ex-Im Revolving Loans required
by the immediately preceding sentence or (ii) existing Domestic Revolving Loans shall be
reallocated to the Ex-Im Revolving Loan balance if and to the extent that there exists excess Ex-Im
Availability at such time.
Section 2.06 Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower
Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of an applicable
Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing
Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period (with respect to Domestic
Letters of Credit and Canadian Letters of Credit) or the Ex-Im Availability Period (with respect to
Ex-Im Letters of Credit). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and
conditions of
this Agreement and the terms and
-44-
conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by any Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower with, the applicable
Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
control. As of the Effective Date, certain Letters of Credit (as defined in the Original Credit
Agreement) are outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement, as set forth on Schedule 2.1.2.
The parties agree that on the Effective Date, such Letters of Credit shall be deemed for all
purposes to be Domestic Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter
of Credit), the Borrower Representative shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to
the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (prior to 10:00 am, Chicago time, at least
three
Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a
notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be
amended, renewed or extended, specifying whether such Letter of Credit is a Domestic Letter of
Credit, a Canadian Letter of Credit or an Ex-Im Letter of Credit and specifying the date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such
Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount
(in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable) of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of
the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such other information as
shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the
applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application
on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A
Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent
and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i)
neither the Aggregate LC Exposure nor the Domestic LC Exposure shall exceed $40,000,000, consisting
of not more than $38,000,000 of LC Exposure relating to standby Letters of Credit and not more than
$2,000,000 of LC Exposure relating to commercial Letters of Credit, (ii) the Canadian LC Exposure
shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000, (iii) the Ex-Im LC Exposure shall not exceed
$25,000,000, (iv) there is positive Domestic Availability, Canadian Availability or Ex-Im
Availability, as applicable and (v) there is positive Aggregate Availability. All Domestic Letters
of Credit and Ex-Im Letters of Credit shall be issued in Dollars. Canadian Letters of Credit shall
be issued in Canadian Dollars or Dollars at the election of the Borrower Representative.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire within one year after the
scheduled Maturity Date; provided, that in the case of Letters of Credit issued on
automatic renewal terms, such Letters of Credit shall not be renewed with expiry dates more than
one year following the scheduled Maturity Date.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of
applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Revolving Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby
grants to each applicable Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender hereby acquires from
such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.
In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each applicable Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each applicable LC
Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date
due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be
refunded to such Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and
-45-
continuance of a
Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago
time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower Representative shall have
received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative prior to such time on such date, then
not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on (i) the Business Day that the Company receives such
notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the day of receipt, or (ii)
the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative receives such
notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided
that the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing
set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be
financed with a CBFR Borrowing, CP Borrowing, USBR Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent
amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the applicable Borrower
fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable
Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in
respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following
receipt of such notice, each applicable Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its
Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as
provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the applicable
Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank
the amounts so received by it from such Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent
that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing
Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any
payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any
LC Disbursement (other than the funding of CBFR Revolving Loans, CP Revolving Loans, USBR Revolving
Loans or Swingline Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve
such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and
shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the
applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document
that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of
setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither either Agent, the Revolving Lenders
nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility
by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment
or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in
the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or
delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing
Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from
liability to the applicable Borrower to
-46-
the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent
permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s
failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a
Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have
exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting
the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on
their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable
Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in
strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following
its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether
such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any
failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such Issuing Bank and the applicable Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC
Disbursement.
(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless
the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC
Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower
reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to CBFR Domestic Revolving
Loans, CBFR Ex-Im Revolving Loans, CP Canadian Revolving Loans or USBR Canadian Revolving Loans, as
applicable; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC
Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply.
Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing
Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender
pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account
of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing
Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable
Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of any Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement
shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account
of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any
such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of such
Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit to be issued
thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such
successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as
the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced
Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to
such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or at
maturity of the Loans, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in
the name of the
-47-
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Domestic Revolving Lenders (the
“Domestic LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the Domestic LC
Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the Company shall
deposit in an account with the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, in the name of the Ex-Im Revolving Lender
and for the benefit of the Ex-Im Revolving Lender (the “Ex-Im LC Collateral Account”), an
amount in cash equal to 105% of the Ex-Im LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and/or the Canadian Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Canadian
Agent, in the name of the Canadian Agent and for the benefit of the Canadian Revolving Lenders (the
“Canadian LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the Dollar Equivalent
of the Canadian LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective
immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other
notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the applicable Agent
as collateral for the payment and performance of the applicable Secured Obligations. The
applicable Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such account. The Company hereby grants the
Administrative Agent a security interest in the Domestic LC Collateral Account, each Ex-Im
Borrower hereby grants the Ex-Im Revolving Lender a security interest in the Ex-Im LC Collateral
Account and the Canadian Borrower hereby grants the Canadian Agent a security interest in the
Canadian LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits,
which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the applicable Agent or the

deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall
accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the applicable Agent or the

Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held
for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower for the applicable
LC Exposure at such time, be applied to satisfy other applicable Secured Obligations. If the
Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the

returned to the applicable Borrower within three Business Days after all applicable Events of
Default have been cured or waived.
Section 2.07 Funding of Borrowings.
(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof
by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., Chicago time, to the account of the
applicable Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the applicable
Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that, Swingline
Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The applicable Agent or the Ex-Im Revolving
Lender, as applicable, will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower Representative by
promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s);
provided that CBFR Revolving Loans, CP Revolving Loans and USBR Revolving Loans made to
finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be
remitted by the applicable Agent or the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, as applicable, to the applicable
Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the applicable
Agent.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the applicable Agent
such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agents may assume that such Lender has made such share
available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event,
if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the applicable
Agent, then such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to such Agent forthwith
on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is
-48-
made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to such Agent,
at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of either the Federal Funds Effective Rate (in the
case of Dollar-denominated amounts) or the Canadian Agent’s cost of funds (in the case of Canadian
Dollar-denominated amounts) and a rate determined by such Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable
to CBFR Revolving Loans or USBR Revolving Loans, as applicable (in the case of Dollar-denominated
amounts) or CP Revolving Loans (in the case of Canadian Dollar-denominated amounts). If such
Lender pays such amount to such Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing.
Section 2.08 Interest Elections.
(a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a CDOR Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have
an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower
Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such
Borrowing and, in the case of a CDOR Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods
therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different
options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such
portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing,
and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section
shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be
converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be
required under Section 2.03 if a Borrower was requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type
resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative.
(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the Borrower and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request
applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different
portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing
(in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv)
below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing, if it is in Dollars, is to be an CBFR
Borrowing, a USBR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, or, if it is in Canadian
Dollars, if it is to be a CP Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a CDOR Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term
“Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a CDOR Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing but
does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have
selected an
-49-
Interest Period of 30 days’ duration for a CDOR Rate Borrowing or of one month’s
duration for a Eurodollar Borrowing.
(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting
Borrowing.
(e) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with
respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then,
unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall be converted to an CBFR Borrowing or USBR Borrowing, as applicable.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower
Representative, then, so long as a Default is continuing (i) no outstanding CBFR Borrowing or USBR
Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing or USBR Borrowing, as applicable, of
the same Class at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
(f) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with
respect to a CDOR Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then,
unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall be converted to a CP Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if
a CP Default has occurred and is continuing and the Canadian Agent, at the request of the Required
Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as a Default is continuing (i) no
outstanding CP Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a CDOR Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless
repaid, each CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be converted to a CP Borrowing of the same Class at the end
of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Section 2.09 Termination of Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments.

contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section
shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by
the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of
other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative
(by notice to the Administrative
-50-
Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied. Any termination of the Commitments shall be permanent.
(d) The Borrower Representative shall have the right to increase the aggregate Domestic
Revolving Commitment (with a corresponding increase in the total Commitments) by obtaining
additional Domestic Revolving Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or other lending
institutions provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the aggregate amount of all such

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lender(s) being added or increasing their Domestic
Revolving Commitment, subject only to the approval of all Lenders if any such increase would cause
the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments to exceed $250,000,000. As conditions precedent to
such an increase, (I) the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate of each
Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan
Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or
consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of each Borrower, certifying that, before and
after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article

representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true
and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default exists, (II) the conditions precedent to
any Credit Extension set forth in Article IV shall be satisfied as of the date of such increase,
both before and after giving effect to such increase (including without limitation that such
increase or addition would be permitted under the New Indenture), (III) each Lender providing an
additional or increased Domestic Revolving Commitment shall have received all fees and the
Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and expenses (and any respective attorneys fees),
in each case due and payable to such Person on or before the effectiveness of such increase and

Revolving Loans plus 2%. Each Canadian Protective Advance and each Canadian Overadvance
denominated in Dollars shall bear interest at the US Base Rate (Canada) plus the Applicable
Rate for Canadian Revolving Loans plus 2%.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at its or their option, by notice to
the Borrower Representative (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders
notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected
thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2%
plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of
this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall
accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided
hereunder.
(h) Accrued interest on each Loan (for CBFR Loans, CP Loans and USBR Loans, accrued through
the last day of the prior calendar month) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a CBFR Revolving Loan, a CP
Revolving Loan or a USBR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued
interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment
or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or any CDOR Rate Loan
prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be
payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(i) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and
disclosure thereunder, (i) whenever any interest under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents
is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days, the rate determined pursuant to such
calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate, (y)
multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such
interest is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by 360; (ii) the principle of deemed
reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii)
the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not
effective rates or yields. The applicable CB Floating Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall
be determined by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Canadian Prime Rate, US Base Rate
(Canada) or CDOR Rate shall be determined by the Canadian Agent, and each such determination shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period; or
(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the
Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or
-57-
maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest
Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the
Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the
conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall
be ineffective, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing
shall be made as an CBFR Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing by the Company or an Ex-Im Borrower,
or a USBR Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower.
(b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a CDOR Rate Borrowing:
(i) the Canadian Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the CDOR Rate for such Interest Period; or
(ii) the Canadian Agent is advised by the Required Canadian Lenders that the
CDOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan)
included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
the Canadian Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Canadian
Revolving Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter, and, until the
Canadian Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Canadian Revolving Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that
requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation for any Borrowing as, a CDOR Rate
Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a CDOR Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as a CP Borrowing.
Section 2.15 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the
Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market
any other condition affecting this Agreement or CDOR Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans
made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any CDOR Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any
such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing
or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
-58-
(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company,
if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below
that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative
and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after
receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall
be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments.
In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or any CDOR Rate Loan
other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an
Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or any CDOR Rate Loan or other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or any CDOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or any CDOR Rate Loan,
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by
the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the applicable
Borrower shall compensate each applicable Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to
such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan or a CDOR Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to
any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any,
of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had
such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the CDOR Rate, as applicable, that would have
been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue,
for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of
interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which
such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period to such Eurodollar Loan from other banks in the eurodollar market or
for Canadian Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period to such CDOR Rate Loan from other
banks in the Canadian bankers’ acceptance market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be
delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15
days after receipt thereof.
-59-
Section 2.17 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Borrower hereunder shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided that if the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the applicable Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable
Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank,
within 15 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes paid by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect
to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by an Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(d) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall indemnify the Borrowers and the Agents, within 15
days after written demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses,
claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Borrowers or the Agents) incurred by or asserted against the
Borrowers or the Agents by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or
deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered to the Borrowers or the Agents pursuant
to Section 2.17(f). Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Agents to set off and
apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agents under this
Section 2.17(d).
(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed
by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law
or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate.
(g) If either Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or
-60-
with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall
pay over such refund to the applicable Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the
Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent
or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that each Borrower, upon the request of such
Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent
or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require either Agent or any Lender
to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.
Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section
2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to noon, Chicago time, on the date when due, in immediately
available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date
may, in the discretion of the applicable Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be
made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, except

herein and (iii) that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made
directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The applicable Agent shall distribute any such payments
received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any
payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.
(b) Any proceeds of Collateral of the Domestic Loan Parties received by either Agent (i) not
constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under
the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower Representative), (B) a
mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be
applied from a Collection Account when full cash dominion is in effect (which shall be applied in
accordance with Section 2.10) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied
ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts

(other than unpaid Ex-Im LC Disbursements), to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations,
eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services Obligations and
Swap Obligations, ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to either Agent
or any Lender by the Borrowers, tenth, to prepay principal on the Ex-Im Revolving Loans and
unreimbursed Ex-Im LC Disbursements ratably, and
-61-
eleventh, to pay amounts to the Administrative Agent equal to 105% of the aggregate undrawn face
amount of all outstanding Ex-Im Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid Ex-Im
LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such obligations.
(c) Any proceeds of Collateral of the Canadian Loan Parties received by either Agent (i) not
constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under
the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower Representative), (B) a
mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be
applied from the Canadian Collateral Account when full cash dominion is in effect (which shall be
applied in accordance with Section 2.10) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds
shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements
including amounts then due to the Agents and the Canadian Issuing Bank from the Canadian Borrower

Services Obligations and Swap Obligations, and ninth, to the payment of any other Canadian
Obligations due to either Agent or any Canadian Lender by the Canadian Borrower. In no event will
any proceeds of Collateral described in this Section 2.18(c) be applied to any Domestic Obligations
or Ex-Im Obligations.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed
by the Borrower Representative, or unless an Event of Default is in existence, neither either Agent
nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any CDOR Rate Loan or any Eurodollar
Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such
Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that with respect to CDOR Rate Loans,
there are no outstanding CP Loans of the same Class, and with respect to Eurodollar Loans, there
are no outstanding CBFR Loans or USBR Loans, as applicable, of the same Class and, in any such
event, the applicable Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with
Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the
Secured Obligations.
(e) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC
Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all
reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the
Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a
request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in
this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the
Administrative Agent; provided, that no Borrowings of Canadian Revolving Loans, Canadian Swingline
Loans, Canadian Overadvances or Canadian Protective Advances may be used to pay any of the Domestic
Obligations or the Ex-Im Obligations and no amounts contained in a deposit account of the Canadian
Borrower may be applied against any of the Domestic Obligations or the Ex-Im Obligations. The
Company hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the
purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any
other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute
Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a
Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and
that all such
-62-
Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or
2.05, as applicable and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower
maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees for which such Borrower
is obligated as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents. Each
Ex-Im Borrower hereby authorizes (i) the Ex-Im Revolving Lender to make a Borrowing for the purpose
of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees in respect of the Ex-Im Revolving Loans and
the Ex-Im Letters of Credit as it becomes due hereunder or any other amounts due under the Loan
Documents in respect of the Ex-Im Obligations and agrees that such amounts charged shall constitute
Ex-Im Revolving Loans and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant
to Section 2.03 and (ii) the Ex-Im Revolving Lender to charge any deposit account of any Ex-Im
Borrower maintained with the Ex-Im Revolving Lender for each payment of principal, interest and
fees for which the Ex-Im Borrowers are obligated as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount
due under the Loan Documents in respect of the Ex-Im Obligations. The Canadian Borrower hereby
authorizes (i) the Canadian Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of
principal, interest and fees owing by it as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due from
it under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Canadian
Revolving Loans (including Canadian Swingline Loans and Canadian Overadvances, but such a Borrowing
may only constitute a Canadian Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as
described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested
pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable and (ii) each Agent to charge any deposit
account of the Canadian Borrower maintained with such Agent for each payment of principal, interest
and fees owing by the Canadian Borrower as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due from it
under the Loan Documents.
(f) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in
Ex-Im Revolving Loans and LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in Ex-Im Revolving Loans and LC
Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then
the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Loans and LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of
all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in Ex-Im Revolving
Loans and LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and
all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any
Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of
its Loans and LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to such Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each
Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of
such participation.
(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the
applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount
-63-
is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent,
at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(h) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the
applicable Agent or the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, as applicable, may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by such
Person for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as
cash collateral for, and apply any such amounts to, any future funding obligations of such Lender
hereunder; application of amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be made in such order as may
be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender,
such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The
Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment).
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender) pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers
may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender,
if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received
the prior written consent of the Agents and the Ex-Im Revolving Lender (and the applicable Issuing
Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in
unreimbursed LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result
in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise,
the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 2.20 Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a
Defaulting Lender.
-64-
(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Domestic Revolving Commitment
and the Canadian Revolving Subcommitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);
(b) the Commitments and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder
(including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that
any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected
Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require
the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
(c) if any Swingline Exposure, Ex-Im Revolving Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure, Ex-Im Revolving Exposure and LC
Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Domestic
Revolving Lenders, Ex-Im Participants or Canadian Revolving Lenders, as applicable,
in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent
(x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such
Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure, Ex-Im Revolving Exposure and LC Exposure
does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and
(y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; and
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within one Business Day
following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline
Exposure and Ex-Im Revolving Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation
pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii) if any Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.20(c), such Borrower shall not be
required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant
to Section 2.20(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(b)
shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable
Percentages; or
(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor
reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or
remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that
otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to
the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC
Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to such Issuing Bank until
such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;
(d) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless
it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the
non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in
accordance
-65-
with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased
Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan or Ex-Im Revolving Loan shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall
not participate therein); and
(e) in the event and on the date that each of the Agents, the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, the
Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders agree that a Defaulting Lender has
adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the
Swingline Exposure, Ex-Im Revolving Exposure and LC Exposure of the other Lenders shall be
readjusted to reflect
the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitments and on such date such Lender shall
purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the
Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans
in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
Section 2.21 Returned Payments.
If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, either Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or
proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared
fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or
a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as
if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The
provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action

Section 2.23 Exchange Rate Fluctuations.
The Administrative Agent shall at all times monitor the Dollar Equivalent of all outstanding
Canadian Revolving Exposure. If due to changes in the exchange rate between Dollars and Canadian
Dollars, the Canadian Revolving Exposure exceeds the Canadian Revolving Commitment, then the
Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion, refuse to permit any further Canadian Revolving
Loans to be borrowed, continued or converted or Canadian Letters of Credit to be issued, or may
require that the Canadian Borrower, pay or prepay such excess amounts in respect of any outstanding
Canadian Obligations as the Administrative Agent may request in writing to the Canadian Borrower
(such payment to be made within 2 Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s request therefor).
Section 2.24 Inter-Lender Assignments.
Each Existing Lender hereby sells and assigns to each Lender, without recourse, representation
or warranty (except as set forth below), and each such Lender hereby purchases and assumes from
each Existing Lender a percentage interest in the Commitments and subcommitments and the Loans and
other Obligations hereunder as may be required to reflect the allocation of Commitments and
subcommitments as set forth on the Commitment Schedule. The Lenders agree to make such
inter-Lender wire transfers as may be required to give effect to the foregoing assignments and
assumptions and, as a result of such assignments and assumptions, each Existing Lender shall be
absolutely released from any obligations, covenants or agreements with respect to the Commitments,
subcommitments and Loans so assigned. With respect to such Commitments, subcommitments and Loans
-66-
so assigned, each Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty whatsoever, except that it

Material Adverse Effect. None of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other
information furnished by or on behalf of the any Loan Party in writing to either Agent or any
Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (taken as a
whole and as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided
that, no representation is given with respect to forward looking statements or information of a
general industry or economic nature; and provided further, that, with respect to projected
financial information, the Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good
faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time such projections were delivered.

taken as a whole, at a fair valuation, will exceed their debts and liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Loan Parties,

other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities
become absolute and matured; (iii) the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, will be able to pay their
debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become

Indebtedness.

with the Loan Parties’ business and acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its Permitted
Discretion. In the event any Collateral is located in any area that has been designated by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as a “Special Flood Hazard Area,” the applicable Loan Party
shall purchase and maintain flood insurance on such Collateral (including any personal Property
which is located on any Real Property leased by such Loan Party within a “Special Flood Hazard
Area”). The amount of all insurance required by this Section 5.09 shall at a minimum comply with
applicable law, including the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All premiums on
such insurance shall be paid when due by the applicable Loan Party. If any Loan Party fails to
obtain any insurance as required by this Section, the Administrative Agent may obtain such
insurance at the Company’s expense. By doing so, the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived
any Default arising from any Loan Party’s failure to maintain such insurance or pay any premiums
therefor. No Loan Party will use or permit any property to be used in material violation of
applicable law or in any manner which might render inapplicable any insurance coverage.
(c) All insurance policies required under this Section 5.09 (a) shall name the applicable
Agent as an additional insured or as loss payee, as applicable, and shall provide that, or contain
loss payable clauses, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which provide
that:
(i) all proceeds thereunder with respect to any Collateral shall be payable to
the applicable Agent;
-84-
(ii) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured
or owner of the property described in such policy; and
(iii) such policy and loss payable clauses may be canceled, amended, or
terminated only upon at least thirty days prior written notice given to the
applicable Agent.
Section 5.10 Casualty and Condemnation.
The Borrowers (a) will furnish to the Agents and the Lenders prompt written notice of any
casualty or other insured damage to any material portion of the Collateral or the commencement of
any action or proceeding for the taking of any material portion of the Collateral or interest
therein under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding and (b) will ensure
that the Net Proceeds of any such event (whether in the form of insurance proceeds, condemnation
awards or
otherwise) are collected and applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Agreement and the Collateral Documents
Section 5.11 Appraisals.
At any time that the Administrative Agent requests, the Loan Parties will provide the
Administrative Agent with appraisals or updates thereof of their Inventory and Export-Related
Inventory from an appraiser selected and engaged by the Administrative Agent, and prepared on a
basis satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such appraisals and updates to include, without
limitation, information required by applicable law and regulations; provided, however, that if no
Default has occurred and is continuing, one such appraisal of Inventory and Export-Related
Inventory shall be completed in each calendar year at the sole expense of the Loan Parties.
Section 5.12 Depository Banks.
Each Loan Party will maintain the Administrative Agent in the United States of America and the
Canadian Agent in Canada as their principal depository banks, including for the maintenance of
operating, administrative, cash management, collection activity, and other deposit accounts for the
conduct of their businesses.
Section 5.13 Additional Collateral; Further Assurances.
(a) Subject to applicable law, each Loan Party shall, except as otherwise permitted hereunder
(i) cause each Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Foreign Subsidiary and other than an
Excluded Subsidiary) to become or remain a Loan Party and a Guarantor of all of the Obligations and
(ii) cause each of its Subsidiaries (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) formed or acquired after the
date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to become a Loan Party by
executing the Joinder Agreement set forth as Exhibit B hereto (the “Joinder
Agreement”). Upon execution and delivery thereof, each such Person (i) shall automatically
become a Domestic Loan Guarantor hereunder and thereupon shall have all of the rights, benefits,
duties, and obligations in such capacity under the Loan Documents, (ii) will grant Liens to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in any property
of such Loan Party which constitutes Collateral and (iii) will grant Liens to the Ex-Im Revolving
Lender in any property of such Loan Party which constitutes Collateral.
(b) Each Canadian Loan Party (other than the Canadian Borrower) now or hereafter formed or
acquired shall guaranty the Canadian Obligations pursuant to a Joinder Agreement or a separate Loan
Guaranty and grant Liens to the Canadian Agent, for the benefit of the Canadian Agent and the
Canadian Revolving Lenders, in any property of such Canadian Loan Party which constitutes
Collateral.
-85-
(c) Holdings will cause 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company to
be subject at all times to a first priority, perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent
and a second priority, perfected Lien in favor of the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, each pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents or other security documents as the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably request. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party will cause (i)
100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (and all
other Subsidiaries in the case of Equity Interests owned by the Canadian Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries) and (ii) 65% (or such greater percentage that, due to a change in an applicable law
after the Effective Date, (1) could not reasonably be expected to cause the undistributed earnings
of such Foreign Subsidiary as determined for United States federal income tax purposes to be
treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary’s United States parent and (2) could not
reasonably be expected to cause any material adverse tax consequences) of the issued and
outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section
1.956-2(c)(2)) and 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests not entitled to vote (within
the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) in each Foreign Subsidiary directly owned
by the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries to be subject at all times to a first
priority, perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent and a second priority, perfected Lien
in favor of the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Loan Documents or other security documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
(d) Without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party will, and will cause each Subsidiary to,
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent such
documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions
(including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents and such other
actions or deliveries of the type required by Section 4.01, as applicable), which may be required
by law or which the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection
and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, all at the
expense of the Loan Parties.
(e) If any material assets (other than Excluded Assets) are acquired by any Loan Party after
the Effective Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Agreements that
become subject to the Lien under the Security Agreements upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower
Representative will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereof, and, if requested by
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrowers will cause such assets to be
subjected to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations, the Canadian Obligations and/or the Ex-Im
Obligations, as applicable, and will take, and cause the other Loan Parties to take, such actions
as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such
Liens, including actions described in paragraph (d) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan
Parties.
Section 5.14 [Reserved].

Each Loan Party authorizes (a) each Agent, and (b) so long as a Default has occurred and is
continuing, each Lender, to communicate, upon advance notice to the Company, directly with its
independent certified public accountants and authorizes and shall instruct those accountants and
advisors to communicate to each Agent and each Lender information relating to any Loan Party with
respect to the business, results of operations and financial condition of any Loan Party, provided
that the Borrower Representative is provided advance notice of any such communication and the
opportunity to be present.
Section 5.16 Collateral Access Agreements, Use of and Access to Excluded
Assets.
(a) Each Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access
Agreement from the lessor of each leased Real Property, mortgagee of owned Real Property or
-86-
bailee
or consignee with respect to any warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location where
Collateral is stored or located, which agreement or letter shall contain a waiver or subordination
of all Liens or claims that the landlord, mortgagee or bailee or consignee may assert against the
Collateral at that location, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to the Administrative Agent. After the Effective Date, no Real Property or warehouse space shall
be leased by any Loan Party and no Inventory or Export-Related Inventory shall be shipped to a
processor or converter under arrangements established after the Effective Date without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent, in the Administrative Agent’s
discretion, may be conditioned upon the establishment of a reserve equal to 3 months rent at that
location) or, unless and until a satisfactory Collateral Access Agreement shall first have been
obtained with respect to such location. Each Loan Party shall timely and fully pay and perform in
all material respects its obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each
leased location or third party warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located. In addition,

reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent. Each Loan Party shall
timely and fully pay and perform in all material respects its obligations under any financing
arrangements that it enters into with respect to such Intellectual Property.
(c) After the Effective Date, in the event that the Loan Parties undertake any financing in an
amount greater than $15,000,000 that is secured by Equipment, no Loan Party shall grant to any
Person a Lien on any such Equipment of such Loan Party (other than a Lien granted to secure
Indebtedness of the types described in Section 6.01(e) in connection with the acquisition or lease
of newly acquired Equipment) unless the Person receiving such Lien provides to the Administrative
Agent a written agreement permitting the Administrative Agent to use such Equipment without charge
for a period of forty-five (45) days, and which is otherwise reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Administrative Agent. Each Loan Party shall timely and fully pay and perform in
all material respects its obligations under any financing arrangements that it enters into with
respect to such Equipment.
Section 5.17 Subordination of Intercompany Notes.
(a) All Indebtedness evidenced by an Intercompany Note, together with all accrued interest

other Loan Party to collect upon any Intercompany Note; (B) take or accept any collateral or
security with respect to the obligations evidenced by any Intercompany Note; (C) commence

that it might obtain with respect to the obligations evidenced by the Intercompany Notes; or (E)

arising and howsoever existing, shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights and interests of
the Agents under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in those assets. The Loan Parties

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on
its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Canadian Lenders and the
Canadian Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Canadian Agent as its agent and authorizes
the Canadian Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan
Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Canadian Agent by the terms of the
Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Each Person serving as an 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 an Agent,
and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.
Each Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be
subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and
is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan
Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02), and
-100-
(c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither
Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or
obtained by the bank serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent
shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and
neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any
Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document,
(v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the
Collateral, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan
Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent
or (vii) whether any Loans or other Obligations constitute Permitted Debt pursuant to the New
Indenture (and to the extent that such Loans or other Obligations do not constitute Permitted Debt,
each applicable Lender shall continue to remain obligated for its Applicable Percentage of such
Loans and other Obligations).
Each Lender has received copies of the Existing Indenture and the New Indenture and has
reviewed the terms and conditions thereof, including, but not limited to the conditions relating to
the status of the Obligations as Designated Senior Debt and Senior Debt (as each is defined in the
Existing Indenture).
Each 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
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also
may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the
proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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.
Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform
any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.
The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of each 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 Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph,
either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower
Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an
Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent
hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent
shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
-101-
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers
and such successor. After either Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article,
Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 it was acting as an Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or
any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that
it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on
behalf of each Agent; (b) such Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied,
as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any
inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any
information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations,
and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information
regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as
well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that such Agent undertakes no
obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential
and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person
except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality
of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and
indemnify, defend, and hold such Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from
and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts
(including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third
parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.
For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Canadian Agent under the Loan
Documents, each of the Canadian Lenders, the Canadian Issuing Bank and the Canadian Agent (but
solely in its capacity as the holder and depositary of the Bonds (as defined below)), acknowledges
and agrees that the Canadian Agent shall, for the purposes of holding any security granted by any
Canadian Loan Party under the Loan Documents pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec to
secure payment of bonds (or any similar instruments) (collectively, the “Bonds”), be the holder of
an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the
Civil Code of Québec) for all present and future Canadian Lenders, the Canadian Issuing Bank,
indemnified parties (with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans), as well as holders and depositaries
of the Bonds. Each of the Canadian Lenders, the Canadian Issuing Bank and the Canadian Agent (but
solely in its capacity as the holder and depositary of the Bonds) constitutes, to the extent
necessary, the Canadian Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de
pouvoir) in order to hold security granted by any Canadian Loan Party under the Loan Documents in
the Province of Québec to secure payment of the Bonds. Each assignee of the Canadian Lenders,
successor or assignee of the Canadian Issuing Bank, indemnified party (with respect to Canadian
Revolving Loans) and successor Canadian Agent (but solely in its capacity as the holder and
depositary of the Bonds) shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the
Canadian Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir).
Furthermore, the Canadian Agent hereby agrees to act in the capacity of the holder and depositary
of the Bonds on its own behalf as Canadian Agent and for and on behalf and for the benefit of all
present and future Canadian Lenders, the Canadian Issuing Bank and indemnified parties (with
respect to the Canadian Revolving Loans). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the
Special Powers of Legal Persons Act (Québec), the Canadian Agent may acquire and be the holder of a
Bond. RB&W Logistics Canada, Inc. and each other Canadian Loan Party acknowledges that each of the
Bonds executed by it constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of
the Civil Code of Québec. Notwithstanding the
-102-
provisions of Section 19.1 hereof, the provisions of this Section 10.18 shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Québec and the federal laws of
Canada applicable therein.
The Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agents and Joint Bookrunners shall not have any right,
power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those
applicable to all Lenders as such.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay by either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any
right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent, each
Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether either Agent, any
Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may
be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement
or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders, (ii) in the case
of the Fast Track Loan Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by
the Ex-Im Revolving Lender and the Ex-Im Borrowers, or (iii) in the case of any other Loan
Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative
Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required
Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan
or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or
fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii)
postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or
any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce
the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of
any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change
Section 2.18(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared,
without the written consent of each Lender, (v) increase the
-104-
advance rates set forth in the definition of Domestic Borrowing Base, Canadian Borrowing Base, or Export-Related Borrowing Base,
without the written consent of each Revolving Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this
Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend
or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without
the written consent of each Lender, (vii) change Section 2.20, without the consent of each Lender
(other than any Defaulting Lender), (viii) release any Canadian Loan Guarantor or Domestic Loan
Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in
the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, (ix) except as provided in
clause (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the
Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender, (x) waive any Default or Event of Default
(as each is defined in the Existing Indenture) under the Existing Indenture or any agreement
executed by the Company in connection therewith, without the written consent of each Lender, or
(xi) waive any Default or Event of Default (as each is defined in the New Indenture) under the New
Indenture or any agreement executed by the Company in connection therewith, without the written
consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or
otherwise affect the rights or duties of the either Agent, any Issuing Bank, such Swingline Lender
or the Ex-Im Revolving Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, such
Issuing Bank, such Swingline Lender or the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, as the case may be (it being
understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent,
the Swingline Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Ex-Im Revolving Lender). The Administrative Agent
may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to
Section 9.04.
(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each Agent and the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, at its
option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to such Person by any of the Loan
Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and satisfaction
in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash
collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender,
(ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property
certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such
certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed
of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of a Subsidiary, the applicable Agent and the Ex-Im
Revolving Lender is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty provided by such Subsidiary, (iii)
constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in
a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other
disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agents and the
Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, neither either
Agent nor the Ex-Im Revolving Lender will release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written
authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, the Agents and the Ex-Im Revolving
Lender may in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, release Liens on Collateral valued in the
aggregate not in excess of $5,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written
authorization of the Required Lenders. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect,
or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or
obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties,
including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the
Collateral.
(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of
“each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained,
but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is
necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the
Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement,
provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another commercial bank, financial
institution or other “accredited investor” (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that is not a Borrower
or a Subsidiary or Affiliate
-105-
of a Borrower, and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other
Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become
a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting
Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of
Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on
the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to
such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination,
including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and
2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of
such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in each instance in this
Agreement which refers to the consent of one or more Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender, where such
consent is not qualified by reference to the reasonable judgment, discretion or satisfaction of
such Person (or words of similar import), such consent may be given or withheld in the sole and
absolute discretion of such Person.
Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent,
the Ex-Im Revolving Lender and its respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel for each Agent and the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, in connection with the
syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service
such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in
connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand
for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent, each Issuing
Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for each Agent,
each Issuing Bank any each Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of
its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of
such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section
include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in
connection with:
(i) appraisals and insurance reviews;
(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees
charged by a third party retained by each Agent or the internally allocated fees for
each Person employed by each Agent with respect to each field examination (currently
$125 per hour for examiner, plus out-of-pocket expenses);
(iii) background checks regarding senior management and/or key investors, as
deemed necessary or appropriate in the sole discretion of each Agent;
(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien searches and (B) filing
financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and
continue the Liens of each Agent and the Ex-Im Revolving Lender;
-106-
(v) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under
the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and
(vi) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment,
and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses
of preserving and protecting the Collateral.
All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to
another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(e).
(b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent, each Issuing Bank and
each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called
an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, penalties, incremental taxes, liabilities and related expenses, including the
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery
of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions
or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, (iv) the failure of the Borrowers to deliver to either Agent the required receipts or
other required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by the Borrowers for Taxes
pursuant to Section 2.17, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory
and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee.
(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to
either Agent, the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender under paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, the Ex-Im Revolving
Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment
is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against such Agent, the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender
in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank
that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Agent, each
Issuing Bank and each Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more commercial lenders, financial institutions or other accredited investors that are
not a Borrower or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Borrower, all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:
(A) the Borrower Representative, provided that no consent of the
Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, with respect to the Fast Track Loan
Agreement and the Ex-Im Revolving Subcommitment, Ex-Im Bank or, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;
(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the
Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a
Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) each Issuing Bank, provided that no consent of any Issuing Bank
shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender
or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment
or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent)
shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and
each Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower
Representative shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing;
(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
including each Commitment hereunder; provided, that this clause shall not be
construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations with respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;
-108-
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500; and
(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee
designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the Loan
Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made
available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s
compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities
laws.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following
meaning:
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in
making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an
Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a
Lender.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations
of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans
and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and
the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the
Canadian Agent, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by
an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the
assigning Lender
-109-
or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to
be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c),
the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such
payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.
No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Agents, the
Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(C) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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, modification or
waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
2.18(e) as though it were a Lender.
(i) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative’s prior
written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower
Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(f)
as though it were a Lender.
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 9.05 Survival.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan
Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of
any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such
other party
-110-
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time
any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03
and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision
hereof.
Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate
letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents constitute the entire contract among
the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agents
and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 9.07 Severability.
Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.08 Right of Setoff.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to
or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Canadian Loan Guarantor or Domestic Loan
Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and
the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give
or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application
under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall any such deposits of a Canadian Loan Party be applied against the
Domestic Obligations or the Ex-Im Obligations.
Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law

Section 9.14 Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law.
The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure
of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any
other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither any Issuing Bank nor
any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of
Law.
Section 9.15 USA PATRIOT Act.
Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant
to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.
Section 9.16 Disclosure.
Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Agent and/or its
Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other
relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.

Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting
Liens, for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9
of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender
(other than an Agent or the Ex-Im Revolving Lender) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such
Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s
request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the applicable Agent or the Ex-Im Revolving
Lender, as applicable, or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative
Agent’s instructions.
Section 9.18 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable
to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on
such Loan
-114-
under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful
rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved
by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in
respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other
Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated
amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 9.19 Judgment Currency.
If either Agent or the Ex-Im Revolving Lender, on behalf of any Lender, obtains a judgment or
a judgment against a Borrower in a currency other than Dollars, the obligations of such Borrower in
respect of any sum adjudged to be due to the Agents or the Lenders hereunder or under any Notes
(the “Judgment Amount”) shall be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day
following receipt by such Agent of the Judgment Amount in such currency, such Agent, in accordance
with normal banking procedures, purchases Dollars with the Judgment Amount in such currency. If
the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars that could have been
purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or dates the Judgment Amount (excluding the portion
of the Judgment Amount which has accrued as a result of the failure of such Borrower to pay the sum
originally due hereunder or under the Notes when (the “Original Due Date”) it was
originally due and owing to such Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the Notes) was originally
due and owing to such Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the Notes (the “Loss”), such
Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against the Loss, and if the amount of Dollars so
purchased exceeds the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on
the Original Due Date, such Agent or such Lender agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.
Where it is necessary to convert a sum due to a Lender into lawful currency of Canada, the
Borrowers covenant and agree to the fullest extent that they may legally do so, that the rate of
exchange used for purposes of conversion or for obtaining or enforcing a judgment in any court in
Canada, shall be the rate at which such Lender could purchase the same currency in which the
Borrowing was made to the Canadian Borrower from the Canadian Lenders with lawful money of Canada
on the Business Day preceding the date on which the conversion is to be made or the date on which a
final judgment is given or the conversion is made, or if permitted by applicable law, on the date
on which payment is made or the judgment is paid and satisfied.
Section 9.20 Currency Equivalent Generally.
For the purposes of making valuations or computations under this Agreement (but not for the
purposes of the preparation of any financial statements delivered pursuant hereto), unless
expressly provided otherwise, where a reference is made to a dollar amount the amount is to be
considered as the amount in Dollars and, therefor, each other currency shall be converted into the
Dollar Equivalent.
Section 9.21 No Cross Collateralization.
For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the Collateral of the Canadian Loan
Parties securing the Canadian Obligations shall not constitute security for the Domestic
Obligations or the Ex-Im Obligations.
Section 9.22 Amendment and Restatement.

that the Loan Parties are indebted for outstanding loans and advances to the Loan Parties under the

Agreement, this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents.

the Loan Parties for the Obligations heretofore incurred and the security interests,
liens and other interests in the Collateral heretofore granted, pledged or assigned
by the Loan Parties to either Agent or any Lender (whether directly, indirectly or
otherwise).
(ii) The amendment and restatement contained herein shall not, in any manner,

interests of each Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, securing such Obligations

ARTICLE X
Loan Guaranty
Section 10.01 Guaranty.
Each Domestic Loan Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby
agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees
to the Lenders, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or
otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses
including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including
allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Agents,
the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured
Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Domestic Loan Guarantor
or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses,
together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Domestic Guaranteed Obligations”).
Each Domestic Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations may be
extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it
remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.
Each Canadian Loan Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby
agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees
to the Lenders, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or
otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Canadian Obligations (and not the Domestic
Obligations) and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and
attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and
expenses paid or incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in endeavoring to
collect all or any part of the Canadian Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the
Canadian Borrower, any Canadian Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the
Canadian Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively
the “Canadian Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Canadian Loan Guarantor further agrees that
the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice
to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such
extension or renewal.
All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic
or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Domestic Guaranteed
Obligations or the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 10.02 Guaranty of Payment.
This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives
any right to require either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to xxx any Borrower, any Loan
Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed
-117-
Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against
any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 10.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.
(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder
are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or
termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed
Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement,
surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or
otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or
any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party,
or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or
(iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any
time against any Obligated Party, either Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other person,
whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.
(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable
law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof.
(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert
any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement
relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any
indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any
of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by either Agent, any Issuing Bank
or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any
manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a
discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment
in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).
Section 10.04 Defenses Waived.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any
defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the
unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation
from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest
and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any
requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any
other person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall
not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. Each Agent may, at its election,
foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an
assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with
respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or
adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated
Party or exercise any other
-118-
right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in
any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the
Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such
election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish
any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against
any Obligated Party or any security.
Section 10.05 Rights of Subrogation.
No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without
limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any
Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully
performed all their obligations to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.
Section 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration.
If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any
Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to
that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether
or not the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If
acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to
acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall
nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.
Section 10.07 Information.
Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the
Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each
Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither either Agent,
any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information
known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.
Section 10.08 Termination.
The Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan
Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor.
Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the
Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day
after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments
with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of that Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 10.09 Taxes.
All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear
of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any
Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments,
then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
Agents, Lenders or Issuing Banks (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions
and (iii) such Loan
-119-
Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.
Section 10.10 Maximum Liability.
The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving
any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor
under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or
unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty,
then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such
liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically
limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such
action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s
“Maximum Liability”. This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan
Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not
subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity
shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to
the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered
voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at
any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without
impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder,
provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.
Section 10.11 Contribution.
In the event any Domestic Loan Guarantor or Canadian Loan Guarantor (a “Paying
Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any
loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations
under this Loan Guaranty, each other Domestic Loan Guarantor (or in the case of a Paying Guarantor
that is a Canadian Loan Guarantor, each other Canadian Loan Guarantor) (each a “Non-Paying
Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying
Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such
Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable
Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined
as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such
Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to
receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s
Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such
Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or
by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including
such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or
obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not
been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan
Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other
means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Domestic Loan Guarantor’s several liability for
the entire amount of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Domestic Loan Guarantor’s
Maximum Liability) or any Canadian Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the
Canadian Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Canadian Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of
the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan
Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both
the Agents, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one,
or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.
-120-
Section 10.12 Liability Cumulative.
The liability of each Loan Party as a Domestic Loan Guarantor or Canadian Loan Guarantor under
this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to
the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other
Domestic Loan Parties or Canadian Loan Parties, as applicable, without any limitation as to amount,
unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically
provides to the contrary.

ARTICLE XII
Cash Management
Section 12.01 Lockbox and Cash Management Account.
Each Domestic Loan Party has obtained and shall continue to maintain during the term of this
Agreement a post office box at Chase subject to the control of the Administrative Agent (the
“Domestic Locked Boxes”). Each Canadian Loan Party has obtained and shall continue to
maintain during the term of this Agreement, a post office box at Chase Canada subject to the
control of Chase Canada (the “Canadian Locked Boxes”; the Domestic Locked Boxes and the
Canadian Locked Boxes are collectively referred to as the “Locked Boxes”). Each Loan Party
shall notify all of its customers and Account Debtors to forward all remittances of every kind due
to such Loan Party (“Remittances”) to its Locked Box (such notices to be in such form and
substance as the Administrative Agent may require from time to time). Promptly upon receipt
thereof, the Loan Parties shall deposit all other proceeds of Accounts, Export-Related Accounts and
other Collateral into the appropriate Locked Boxes (or into a Cash Management Account). The
applicable Agent shall have sole access to the Locked Boxes at all times, and each Loan Party shall
take all action necessary to grant such Agent such sole access. At no time shall any Loan Party
remove any item from the Locked Boxes without the prior written consent of the applicable Agent,
and each Loan Party shall notify each customer or Account Debtor not to pay any Remittance to any
other place or address without the prior written consent of the applicable Agent. If a Loan Party
should neglect or refuse to notify any customer or Account Debtor to pay any Remittance to its
Locked Box after notice from the applicable Agent, such Agent shall be entitled to make such
notification. Each Loan Party hereby grants to each of Agent an irrevocable power of attorney,
coupled with an interest, to take in such Loan Party’s name all action necessary (a) to grant the
such Agent sole access to its Locked Box, (b) during the continuance of a Default, to contact
Account Debtors to pay any Remittance to such Locked Box in the event that any such Account Debtor
is not paying any such Remittance to such Locked Box, (c) during the continuance of a Default, to
contact Account Debtors for
-122-
any reason and (d) to endorse each Remittance delivered to its Locked Box for deposit to a
Cash Management Account. Each of the Company and the Canadian Borrower shall establish and, unless
otherwise directed by the applicable Agent, maintain a cash management account with such Agent
(each, a “Cash Management Account”). Each of the Company and the Canadian Borrower shall
enter into an agreement with the applicable Agent, relating to such Loan Party’s Cash Management
Account, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the such Agent.
Section 12.02 Application of Funds.
If within any fiscal quarter, Aggregate Availability is less than the Maximum Availability
Amount on any 10 Business Days (whether consecutive or not) within any 30 day period, or an Event
of Default exists, full cash dominion will be in effect and all funds in the Cash Management
Accounts shall be automatically applied to the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.10(f). At all
other times, all funds in the Cash Management Accounts at the end of each day shall be
automatically swept to the operating account of the Company or the Canadian Borrower, as
applicable.
-123-
