ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly:

(a) to make a U.S. Term B-2 Loan to U.S. Borrower on the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date in the principal amount not to exceed its U.S. Term B-2 Loan Commitment on the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date; and

(b) to make Revolving Loans to U.S. Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or after the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date until the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Within the limits set forth in clause (b) above and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, U.S. Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

SECTION 2.02 Loans

(a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii), (x) ABR Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $2.5 million or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments and (y) the Eurodollar Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $2.5 million or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the applicable Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than ten Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account as directed by U.S. Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request maintained with the Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and such Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of either Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, 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. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement, and such Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.

SECTION 2.03 Borrowing Procedure. To request a Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopy, a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(a) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, U.S. Term Loans or Canadian Term Loans;

(b) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(d) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(e) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; provided that until the earlier of (x) the date on which the Syndication Agent shall have notified U.S. Borrower that a Successful Syndication has been achieved and (y) 60 days after the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date, the Interest Period for any U.S. Term B-2 Loans shall be seven days;

(f) the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c); and

(g) that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b) through (d) have been satisfied as of the date of the notice.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration (subject to the proviso in clause (e) above). Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans

(a) U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Term Loan Lender, the principal amount of each U.S. Term Loan of such U.S. Term Loan Lender as provided in Section 2.09, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date and (iii) to the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, U.S. Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (d) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(f) Any Lender by written notice to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in the form of Exhibit K-I, K-2, K-3, K-4 or K-5, as the case may be. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.05 Fees

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by either Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal and premium, if any, of or interest on any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.06 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in Section 2.06(a) (in either case, the “Default Rate”).

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever interest payable pursuant to this Agreement is calculated with respect to any monetary Obligation relating to the Canadian Term Loans on the basis of a period other than a calendar year (the “Calculation Period”), each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation expressed as an annual rate is equivalent to such rate as so determined, multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days in the Calculation Period.

(g) The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest with respect to any monetary Obligation relating to the Canadian Term Loans shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

(h) The rates of interest with respect to any monetary Obligation relating to the Canadian Term Loans stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

Each notice delivered by a Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by a Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by a Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections

(a) Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and Class specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrowers 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made, would result in more than ten Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. Any interest or conversion election pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute a new Borrowing but simply an adjustment of the basis on which interest payable to the applicable Lenders will be calculated.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopy, a duly completed and executed Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing of the Type and Class resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

(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 is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is 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”; provided that until the earlier of (x) the date on which the Syndication Agent shall have notified U.S. Borrower that a Successful Syndication has been achieved and (y) 60 days after the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date, the Interest Period for U.S. Term B-2 Loans shall be seven days.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration (subject to the proviso in clause (iv) above).

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing is not timely delivered 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 ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to U.S. Borrower, that (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.10 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans and Mandatory Offers to Redeem.

(c) Asset Sales. (I) Not later than three Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale pursuant to Section 6.06(b) or (h), U.S. Borrower shall make an Offer to Redeem the maximum principal amount of Borrowings that may be redeemed by applying an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to such Offer to Redeem in accordance with Sections 2.10(h), (i) and (j); provided that in the case of an Asset Sale pursuant to Section 6.06(h)(X) (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.10(h) such amount shall first be applied to redeem the Canadian Term Loans and the Obligations related thereto on behalf of the Canadian Borrower and (ii) any such amount remaining after the redemption in full of the Canadian Term Loans and the Obligations related thereto shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(II).

(ii) so long as no Default shall then exist or would arise therefrom and the aggregate of Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales shall not exceed $35.0 million in any fiscal year of U.S. Borrower (not including for purposes of this limit only, Net Cash Proceeds of Permitted Sale and Leaseback Transactions or an Asset Sale pursuant to Section 6.06(h)), no Offer to Redeem shall be required on such date to the extent that (A) U.S. Borrower shall have delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds are expected to be reinvested in fixed or capital assets within 365 days following the date of such Asset Sale (which Officers’ Certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); and (B) all Net Cash Proceeds in respect of all Asset Sales (other than those referred to in clause (C) of Section 2.10(c)(II)(i)) in excess of $15.0 million in the aggregate at any time shall be held in the applicable Collateral Account and released therefrom only in accordance with the provisions of Article IX; provided that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not so reinvested within such 365-day period, such unused portion shall be applied to make an Offer to Redeem on the last day of such period as provided in this Section 2.10(c)(II); and provided, further, that if the property subject to such Asset Sale constituted Collateral, then all property purchased with the Net Cash Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with Sections 5.10 and 5.11.

(d) Debt Issuance. Not later than one Business Day following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance by Parent, U.S. Borrower or any of its U.S. Subsidiaries, U.S. Borrower shall make an Offer to Redeem the maximum principal amount of Borrowings that may be redeemed by applying an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to make redemptions in accordance with Sections 2.10(h), (i) and (j).

(h) Application of Prepayments and Redemptions.

(i) Prior to any optional (subject to Section 2.10(a)) or mandatory prepayment or redemption pursuant to any Offer to Redeem hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid or redeemed and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment or Offer to Redeem pursuant to Section 2.10(i), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.10(h). Subject to Section 2.10(h)(iii), any prepayments or redemptions of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) shall be applied to reduce scheduled prepayments required under Sections 2.09(a) and (b) on a pro rata basis among the prepayments remaining to be made on each Term Loan Repayment Date and shall be applied, in the case of prepayments or redemptions to be made solely by U.S. Borrower, first, to U.S. Term Loans on a pro rata basis between the outstanding U.S. Term B-1 Loans and the outstanding U.S. Term B-2 Loans and second if all U.S. Term Loans have been repaid, to Canadian Term Loans on behalf of Canadian Borrower, and, in the case of prepayments or redemptions by the Borrowers, first, by Canadian Borrower to Canadian Term Loans and second, if all Canadian Term Loans have been repaid, by U.S. Borrower to U.S. Term Loans on a pro rata basis between the outstanding U.S. Term B-1 Loans and the outstanding U.S. Term B-2 Loans. After application of redemptions and mandatory prepayments of Term Loans described above in this Section 2.10(h) and to the extent there are redemption or mandatory prepayment amounts remaining after such application, the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their applicable Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, and U.S. Borrower shall comply with Section 2.10(b).

(ii) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.10 to the prepayment or redemption of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding ABR Term Loans and ABR Revolving Loans, respectively. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay or redeem Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Loans, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.10 shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding (an “Excess Amount”), only the portion of the amount of such prepayment or redemption as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be immediately prepaid or redeemed and, at the election of the applicable Borrower, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either (A) deposited in the applicable Collateral Account and applied to the prepayment or redemption of Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans; provided that (i) interest in respect of such Excess Amount shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate provided hereunder for the Loans which such Excess Amount is intended to repay until such Excess Amount shall have been used in full to repay such Loans and (ii) at any time while a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon written direction from the Required Lenders shall, apply any or all proceeds then on deposit in either Collateral Account to the payment of such Loans in an amount equal to such Excess Amount or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 2.13.

(iii) Notwithstanding Sections 2.10(e) and 2.10(g), the aggregate amount of all prepayments by the Borrowers with respect to each Canadian Term Loan pursuant to Sections 2.10(e) and 2.10(g) and Section 2.09 as in effect on the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date within the first five years following the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date shall not exceed 25% of the initial principal amount of that Canadian Term Loan, except for payments required as a result of an acceleration of the Obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to Article VIII. For greater certainty and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the failure of the Borrowers to make any prepayment of the Canadian Term Loans contemplated in Sections 2.10(e) and 2.10(g) or Section 2.09 solely as a consequence of the immediately preceding sentence shall not constitute a Default. Nothing in this Section 2.10(h)(iii) shall affect prepayments of U.S. Loans pursuant to Sections 2.10(e) and 2.10(g) or Section 2.09.

(i) Notice of Prepayment or Offer to Redeem. The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by written notice of any prepayment or Offer to Redeem hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment and (iv) in the case of an Offer to Redeem, five Business Days prior to the proposed date of redemption. Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment or redemption date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid or redeemed and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment or Offer to Redeem, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Such notice to the Lenders may be by electronic communication. Each partial prepayment or Offer to Redeem of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Credit Extension of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment or Offer to Redeem of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.10. Prepayments and Offers to Redeem shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06. The Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Borrower if an Offer to Redeem is accepted or declined by the Lenders on the Business Day prior to the proposed redemption date. If an Offer to Redeem is declined all funds that were to be used to redeem Borrowings shall revert to the applicable Borrower.

(j) Mandatory Offers to Redeem. When required by Sections 2.10(c), (d) and (f), each Borrower shall make an offer to redeem Borrowings made by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10(i), which offer may be accepted or declined by the Lenders in accordance with Section 11.02(e) (an “Offer to Redeem”). If any Offer to Redeem is accepted, all redemptions shall be made in accordance with Section 2.10(h).

SECTION 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to U.S. Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies U.S. Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do promptly after it learns such circumstances cease to exist), (i) 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 (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.12 Increased Costs

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against property of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition or expense affecting this Agreement 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 Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, 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 the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, it being understood that, to the extent duplicative of the provisions of Section 2.15, this Section 2.12 shall not apply to Taxes.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) 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 the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the 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 the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the 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 the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that neither Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the 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 180-day period referred to above shall not begin earlier than the date of effectiveness of the Change in Law.

SECTION 2.13 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than 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 earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss (other than lost profit or spread), cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar 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 LIBOR Rate 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 from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 5 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or Reimbursement Obligations, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative 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 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 11.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified therein. The Administrative 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 under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, 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. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars, except as expressly specified otherwise.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise (including by exercise of its rights under Section 9.1 of the Security Agreement), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans 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 Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans 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 Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; 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 either 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 or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Loan Party 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 Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.14(c) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured Party is entitled under this Section 2.14(c) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount 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.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.14(d), 2.17(d), 2.18(d), 2.18(e) or 11.03(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.15 Taxes

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of either Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Indemnified Taxes; provided that if either Borrower or any Secured Party shall be required by law to deduct or pay any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments (including deductions, withholdings or payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions, withholdings or payments been required, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, as are required to be made by it and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, such Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the 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 or under any other Loan Document, or otherwise with regard to any Loan Document, (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) 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 either Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and in any event within 30 days of any such payment being due, by either Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower 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.

(e) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit Q and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written notification from the Borrowers that any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender is invalid or is due to expire or to become obsolete. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that it is entitled to claim a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it promptly shall notify the applicable Borrower of the availability of such refund claim. Upon receipt of a written request from a Borrower, such Administrative Agent or Lender shall use reasonable efforts to file a timely claim to such taxation authority for such refund, solely at the Borrower’s expense. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) or in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund to the applicable Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Administrative Agent or Lender (as determined in the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s reasonable discretion) and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that (i) each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee), agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges (including Taxes) imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) within a reasonable time (not to exceed 20 days) after receipt of written notice that the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority and (ii) such Administrative Agent or Lender shall not be required to make any payment under this Section 2.15(f) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Nothing contained in this Section 2.15(f) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) to make available its Tax Returns or any other information which it deems confidential to a Borrower or any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to a Borrower the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes had never been paid.

(g) The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees, upon written request from a Borrower, to use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid or minimize any amounts that might otherwise be payable by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15; provided that such effort shall not impose on the Administrative Agent or any Lender any additional costs or any other economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage, as determined in the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s sole discretion; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.15(g) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of a Borrower or the rights of any Administrative Agent or Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15.

(h) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders

(a) Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15, 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, as applicable, hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail submitted by such Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or any Lender is a non-consenting Lender under Section 11.02(c), or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including any processing and recordation fee required to be paid in accordance with Section 11.04 hereto), 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 11.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee selected by such Borrower that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender), which consents 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 LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (assuming for this purpose that the Loans of such Lender were being prepaid) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such 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 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a material 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 a Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.17 Swingline Loans

(a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to U.S. Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $15.0 million or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, U.S. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, U.S. Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopy, a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to U.S. Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of U.S. Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.18(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. U.S. Borrower shall not request a Swingline Loan if at the time of or immediately after giving effect to the Extension of Credit contemplated by such request a Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $500,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 above such amount.

(c) Prepayment. U.S. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent before 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the proposed date of repayment.

(d) Participations. The Swingline Lender may at any time in its discretion by written notice given to the Administrative Agent (provided such notice requirement shall not apply if the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent are the same entity) not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day following such notice require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and 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 (so long as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment). Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify U.S. Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired by the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from U.S. Borrower (or other party on behalf of U.S. Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. Any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve U.S. Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.18 Letters of Credit

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, U.S. Borrower may request the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank agrees, to issue Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of a Subsidiary in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period (provided that U.S. Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary). The Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, and U.S. Borrower shall not request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving effect to such issuance, the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Commitments. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by U.S. Borrower to, or entered into by U.S. Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Request for 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, U.S. Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) an LC Request to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank).

A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:

(i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day);

(ii) the amount thereof;

(iii) the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date);

(iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;

(v) whether the Letter of Credit is to be issued for its own account or for the account of one of its Subsidiaries (provided that U.S. Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and therefore jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary);

(vi) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder;

(vii) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder; and

(viii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.

A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:

(ix) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended;

(x) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a Business Day);

(xi) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension; and

(xii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.

If requested by the Issuing Bank, U.S. Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the 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, U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment, (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments and (iii) the conditions set forth in Article IV in respect of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied. Unless the Issuing Bank shall agree otherwise, no Letter of Credit shall be in an initial amount less than $100,000, in the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000, in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit, or is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

(c) Expiration Date. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit, (x) the date which is no later than one year after the date of the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, no later than one year after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and (ii) in the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, (x) the date that is no later than 180 days after the date of issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, no later than 180 days after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.

(ii) If U.S. Borrower so requests in any LC Request, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, U.S. Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of such renewal and (ii) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if (x) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.18(l) or otherwise), or (y) it has received notice on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date which has been agreed upon pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this paragraph, from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 are not then satisfied

(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 the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by U.S. Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.18(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to U.S. 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, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, reduction or termination of the Commitments, or expiration, termination or cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders promptly after the issuance, amendment or expiration of any Letter of Credit.

(e) Reimbursement.

(i) If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, U.S. Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made if U.S. Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by U.S. Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that U.S. Borrower receives such notice; provided that U.S. Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request (x) in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with ABR Revolving Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, U.S. Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Loans or (y) that such payment be satisfied with the proceeds of Term Loans held in the Ply Gem LC Restricted Account.

(ii) If U.S. Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from U.S. Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from U.S. Borrower pursuant to the above paragraph prior to the time that any Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from U.S. Borrower thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as appropriate.

(iii) If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, each of such Revolving Lender and U.S. Borrower severally agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of U.S. Borrower, the rate per annum set forth in Section 2.18(h) and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligation of U.S. Borrower as provided in Section 2.18(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and 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 being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (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 2.18, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of U.S. Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results of operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates 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 Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to U.S. Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by U.S. Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by U.S. Borrower that are caused by the 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 Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the 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 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 Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and U.S. Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the 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 U.S. Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Section 2.18(e)).

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless U.S. Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that U.S. Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum determined pursuant to Section 2.06(a) until the day after U.S. Borrower is notified of such LC Disbursement and thereafter pursuant to Section 2.06(c). Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that U.S. Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, U.S. Borrower shall deposit in the LC Sub-Account, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any 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 U.S. Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) of Article VIII. Funds in the LC Sub-Account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of U.S. Borrower under this Agreement. If U.S. Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount plus any accrued interest or realized profits with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to U.S. Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(j) Additional Issuing Banks. U.S. Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld), the Issuing Bank and such Revolving Lender(s). Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (j) shall be deemed (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) to be the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Lender, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Revolving Lender in its capacity as Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.

(k) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and U.S. Borrower. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among U.S. Borrower, each Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.

The Fourth Amendment Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Loan Party. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(a) U.S. Borrower has, prior to the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date, delivered to the Lenders the consolidated balance sheets of Alcoa (i) as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Alcoa for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, audited by and accompanied by the unqualified opinion (other than the qualification related to adoption by Alcoa of first-in, first-out method of accounting on January 1, 2003) of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants and (ii) unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Alcoa prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as set forth in the Alcoa Purchase Agreement) for each fiscal period ending after December 31, 2005 and prior to 30 days prior to the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date and for the comparable periods of the preceding fiscal year, in each case to the extent available. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as set forth in the Alcoa Purchase Agreement) consistently applied and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alcoa as of the dates indicated and the results of operations for the periods then ended. Except as set forth in such financial statements, there are no liabilities of Alcoa of any kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and there is no existing condition, situation or set of circumstances which could reasonably be expected to result in such a liability, other than liabilities under the Loan Documents, the Senior Subordinated Note Documents, the New Senior Subordinated Note Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents.

(b) U.S. Borrower has, prior to the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date, delivered to the Lenders U.S. Borrower’s unaudited pro forma statement of income and pro forma EBITDA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and for the six-month period ended July 1, 2006, as well as its pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of July 1, 2006, in each case after giving effect to the Fourth Amendment Transactions as if they had occurred on such date in the case of the balance sheet and as of the beginning of all periods presented in the case of the statement of income.

(c) The forecasts of financial performance of Parent and its subsidiaries furnished to the Lenders have been prepared in good faith by U.S. Borrower and based on assumptions believed by U.S. Borrower to reasonable.

SECTION 3.05 Properties

(a) Each Company has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its property material to its business, free and clear of all Liens except for, in the case of Collateral, Permitted Collateral Liens and, in the case of all other material property, Permitted Liens and minor irregularities or deficiencies in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such property for its intended purpose. The property of the Companies, taken as a whole, (i) is in good operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), except to the extent that the failure to be in such condition could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) constitutes all the property which is required for the business and operations of the Companies as presently conducted.

(b) Schedule 3.05(b) contains a true and complete list of each interest in Real Property (i) owned by any Company as of the date hereof, and describes the type of interest therein held by such Company and (ii) leased, subleased or otherwise occupied or utilized by any Company, as lessee, sublessee, franchisee or licensee, as of the date hereof and describes the type of interest therein held by such Company and whether such lease, sublease or other instrument requires the consent of the landlord thereunder or other parties thereto to the Fourth Amendment Transactions.

(c) No Company has received any notice of, nor has any knowledge of, the occurrence or pendency or contemplation of any Casualty Event in excess of $7.5 million affecting all or any portion of its property. No Mortgage encumbers improved Real Property that is located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards within the meaning of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 unless flood insurance available under such act has been obtained in accordance with Section 5.04.

(d) Each Company owns or has rights to use all of the Collateral and all material rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or material to each Company’s business as currently conducted. The use by each Company of such Collateral and all such rights with respect to the foregoing do not infringe on the rights of any person other than such infringement which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been made and remains outstanding that any Company’s use of any Collateral does or may violate the rights of any third party that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) The Equipment of each Company is in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Each Company shall cause the Equipment to be maintained and preserved in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall as quickly as commercially practicable make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements and other improvements which are necessary or appropriate in the conduct of each Company’s business.

SECTION 3.06 Intellectual Property

(a) Ownership/No Claims. Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trade names, servicemarks, copyrights, technology, trade secrets, proprietary information, domain names, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”), except for those the failure to own or license which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been asserted and is pending by any person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any such claim. To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, the use of such Intellectual Property by each Loan Party does not infringe the rights of any person, except for such claims and infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Registrations. Except pursuant to licenses and other user agreements entered into by each Loan Party in the ordinary course of business (including those that are listed in Schedules 14(a) and 14(b) to the Perfection Certificate), on and as of the date hereof (i) each Loan Party owns and possesses the right to use, and has taken no affirmative action to authorize or enable any other person to use, any copyright, patent or trademark (as such terms are defined in the U.S. Security Agreement) listed in Schedules 14(a) and 14(b) to the Perfection Certificate and (ii) to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, all issuances and registrations listed in Schedules 14(a) and 14(b) to the Perfection Certificate are valid and in full force and effect.

(c) No Violations or Proceedings. To each Loan Party’s knowledge, on and as of the date hereof, there is no material violation by others of any right of such Loan Party with respect to any copyright, patent or trademark listed in Schedules 14(a) and 14(b) to the Perfection Certificate, respectively, pledged by it under the name of such Loan Party.

All Equity Interests of U.S. Borrower are owned directly by Parent (or, after an IPO, the IPO Entity) and, prior to an IPO, all Equity Interests of Parent are owned directly by Holdings and all Equity Interests of Holdings are owned directly by Super Holdings. Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged by it under the U.S. Security Agreement, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other persons, except the security interest created by the U.S. Security Agreement and the security interest created by the Second Lien Security Documents, and there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any such Equity Interests.

(b) No consent of any person including any other general or limited partner, any other member of a limited liability company, any other shareholder or any other trust beneficiary is necessary or reasonably desirable (from the perspective of a secured party) in connection with the creation, perfection or first priority status of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Equity Interests pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Security Agreement or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in the Security Agreement or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof.

(b) Except for matters covered by Section 3.18, no Company or any of its property is in violation of, nor will the continued operation of its property as currently conducted violate, any Requirements of Law (including any zoning or building ordinance, code or approval or any building permits) or any restrictions of record or agreements affecting any Company’s Real Property or is in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule or order of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The pledge of the Securities Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement does not violate such regulations.

SECTION 3.11 Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company Act. No Company is (a) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by a person required to register as an “investment company,” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b) a “holding company,” an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

Each Company has made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP for all Taxes not yet due and payable. Each Company is unaware of any proposed or pending tax assessments, deficiencies or audits that could be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Company has ever been a party to any understanding or arrangement constituting a “tax shelter” within the meaning of Section 6111(c), Section 6111(d) or Section 6662(d)(2)(C)(iii) of the Code, or has ever “participated” in a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4, except as could not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.15 Labor Matters. As of the date hereof, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Company pending or, to the knowledge of any Company, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Company have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters in any manner which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Company, or for which any claim may be made against any Company, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Company except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Fourth Amendment Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Company is bound.

SECTION 3.16 Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Fourth Amendment Transactions on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and immediately following the making of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan, (a) the fair value of the properties of each Loan Party (individually and on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party (individually and on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) each Loan Party (individually and on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) each Loan Party (individually and on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct its business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following such date or Loan.

(a) Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Company and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or the imposition of a Lien on any of the property of any Company. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $10.0 million the fair market value of the property of all such underfunded Plans. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.17, using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each Company or its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, to the extent applicable, each Foreign Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. No Company has incurred any material unpaid obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Plan which is funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of the respective Company on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the property of such Foreign Plan, and for each Foreign Plan which is not funded, the obligations of such Foreign Plan are properly accrued.

(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.18 and except as, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:

SECTION 7.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 7.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

The Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrowers and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against either Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto.

Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(d) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.

SECTION 7.05 Remedies. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of either Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VIII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article VIII) for purposes of Section 7.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against either Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by either Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the applicable Guarantors for purposes of Section 7.01.

SECTION 7.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article VII constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

SECTION 7.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VII is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all applicable Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 7.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

SECTION 7.09 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or property of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a person or persons, none of which is U.S. Borrower or a Subsidiary, such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 11.03 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be released, and the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 7.09 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents; provided that such Guarantor is also released from its obligations under the Second Lien Loan Documents on the same terms.

SECTION 9.03 Application of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, in full or in part, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, promptly by the Collateral Agent as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

(b) Second, to the payment, pro rata, of all other reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the other applicable Secured Parties and their agents and counsel and all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other applicable Secured Parties in connection therewith, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

(d) Fourth, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, of principal amount of the applicable Obligations (including Reimbursement Obligations); and

(e) Fifth, the balance, if any, to the person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Loan Party or its successors or assigns) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 9.03, the applicable Loan Parties shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency.

ARTICLE X

THE AGENTS

SECTION 10.01 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as an agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

SECTION 10.02 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. 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 person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

SECTION 10.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no 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 by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to U.S. Borrower 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. No 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 11.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and no 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 thereunder or in connection therewith, (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 or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document.

SECTION 10.04 Reliance by Agent. 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 a proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for either Borrower), independent accountants and other advisors 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 advisors.

SECTION 10.05 Delegation of Duties. 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 Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates 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.

SECTION 10.06 Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and U.S. Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. 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 Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which successor shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $250 million; provided that if such retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution which is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent.

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 U.S. Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between U.S. Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

SECTION 10.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 any 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.

SECTION 10.08 Name Agents. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent hold such titles in name only, and that such titles confer no additional rights or obligations relative to those conferred on any Lender hereunder.

SECTION 10.09 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers or the Guarantors and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers or the Guarantors to do so), ratably according to their respective outstanding Loans and Commitments in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 10.09 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding Loans and Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 11.02 Waivers; Amendment

(a) No failure or delay by any Agent, the 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, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 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.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (d) below, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the written 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 the principal amount or premium of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(iii) postpone or extend the maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of or the installment otherwise due on the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.09, or the required date of payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (except interest payable under Section 2.06(c)), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Maturity Date, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(iv) change Section 2.14(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;

(v) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section) 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 (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be);

(vi) release any Guarantor from its Guarantee (except as expressly provided in Article VII), or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional Obligations equally and ratably with the other Obligations), in each case without the written consent of each Lender;

(viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class;

(ix) without the consent of the Required Lenders and Term Loan Lenders holding more than 50% of the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans, extend the date of any scheduled payment on the Term Loans required to be made under Section 2.09, change the order of application of prepayments among Term Loans and Revolving Commitments under Section 2.10(h) or change the application of prepayments of Term Loans set forth in Section 2.10(h) to the remaining scheduled amortization payments to be made thereon under Section 2.09;

(x) without the consent of Term Loan Lenders holding more than 50% of the principal amount of each of the outstanding U.S. Term B-1 Loans, U.S. Term B-2 Loans and Canadian Term Loans, change the order of application of prepayments amounts of the U.S. Term B-1 Loans, U.S. Term B-2 Loans and the Canadian Term Loans under Section 2.10(h); or

(xi) change Section 9.03 in a manner that would alter the order or the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

provided, further, that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (2) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Revolving Lenders (but not the Term Loan Lenders), the Term Loan Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders), or one Class of Term Loan Lenders (but no other Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, and (3) (a) any waiver, amendment or modification prior to the completion of the primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent) may not be effected without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and (b) any waiver, amendment or modification of the Intercreditor Agreement (and any related definitions) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into among the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Loan Party, so long as such amendment, waiver or modification does not impose any additional duties or obligations on the Loan Parties or alter or impair any right of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, but with the consent of the Required Lenders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) if (x) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (y) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 11.02(b), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrowers shall have the right to replace all, but not less than all, of such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more persons pursuant to Section 2.16 so long as at the time of such replacement each such new Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.02(b) to the contrary, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended at any time and from time to time to increase the aggregate principal amount of U.S. Term Loans or to establish additional Classes of U.S. Term Loans (collectively, “Additional Term Loans”) by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each person (including any Lender) that shall agree to make an Additional Term Loan (and each such person that shall not already be a Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall, at the time such agreement becomes effective, become a Lender with the same effect as if it had originally been a Lender under this Agreement with the Term Loans set forth in such agreement); provided that (1) no more than an amount equal to $150 million of Additional Term Loans less (x) the principal amount of all Senior Subordinated Notes (other than the New Senior Subordinated Notes) issued after February 12, 2004 pursuant to Section 6.01(b) and (y) the principal amount of Second Lien Term Loans issued pursuant to Section 11.02(d) of the Second Lien Credit Agreement after the Closing Date may be established pursuant to this Section 11.02(d) without the consent of the Required Lenders, (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after giving effect thereto, (3) the covenants in Section 6.10 would be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis on the date of any such amendment and for the most recent Test Period, after giving effect to such Additional Term Loans, and (4) the First Lien Leverage Ratio would not be greater than 2.5:1.0 after giving effect thereto. Any such agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall amend the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall set forth the terms of the Additional Term Loans established thereby (including the amount and final maturity thereof (which shall not be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date), any provisions relating to the amortization or mandatory prepayment thereof (which shall be no more than ratable or pari passu, as applicable, with the Term Loans), the interest to accrue and be payable thereon and any fees to be payable in respect thereof (provided that the Applicable Margins with respect to any Additional Term Loans shall not be more than 25 basis points higher than the Applicable Margins with respect to the Term Loans and that all other payment rights shall be pari passu with the Term Loans)) and effect such other changes (including changes to the provisions of this Section, Section 2.14 and the definition of “Required Lenders”) as U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable in connection with the Additional Term Loans; provided that no such agreement shall (i) effect any change described in Section 11.02(b)(i) through (ix) without the consent of each person required to consent to such change under such clause (it being agreed, however, that the Additional Term Loans will not, of themselves, be deemed to effect any of the changes described in Section 11.02(b)(vi) through (viii) and (1)), (ii) amend Article V, VI or VIII to establish any affirmative or negative covenant, Event of Default or remedy that by its terms benefits one or more Classes, but not all Classes, of Loans or Borrowings without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the Loans and Commitments of each Class not so benefited (it being agreed that no provision requiring either Borrower to prepay Term Loans of one or more Classes pursuant to Sections 2.10(c) through (h) shall be deemed to violate this clause) or (iii) change any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that creates rights in favor of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any existing Class, other than as necessary or advisable in the judgment of the Administrative Agent to cause such provision to take into account, or to make the benefits of such provision available to, Lenders holding Additional Term Loans. The Loans and Borrowings established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Borrowings under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after the establishment of any such Additional Term Loans.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Offer to Redeem shall be accepted by all Lenders to which such Offer to Redeem was made unless three Business Days prior to the proposed redemption date the Required Lenders give their consent for such Offer to Redeem to be declined by all such Lenders.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.02(b) to the contrary, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended at any time and from time to time to increase the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Commitment by up to $10.0 million in the aggregate (the “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) in excess of the Revolving Commitment on the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each person (including any Lender) that shall agree to commit to a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment (and each such person that shall not already be a Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall, at the time such agreement becomes effective, become a Lender with the same effect as if it had originally been a Lender under this Agreement with the Revolving Commitment set forth in such agreement); provided that (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after giving effect thereto and (2) the covenants in Section 6.10 would be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis on the date of any such amendment and for the most recent Test Period, after giving effect to any Revolving Loans made on such date pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Commitment. Any such agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall amend the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall set forth the terms of the Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Commitment established thereby (which shall be the same as those of the Revolving Loans under this Agreement) and effect such other changes (including changes to the provisions of this Section, Section 2.14 and the definition of “Required Lenders”) as U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable in connection with the Incremental Revolving Commitment; provided that no such agreement shall (i) effect any change described in Section 11.02(b)(i) through (ix) without the consent of each person required to consent to such change under such clause (it being agreed, however, that the Incremental Revolving Commitment and any Revolving Loans made pursuant thereto will not, of themselves, be deemed to effect any of the changes described in Section 11.02(b)(vi) through (viii) and (1)), (ii) amend Article V, VI or VIII to establish any affirmative or negative covenant, Event of Default or remedy that by its terms benefits one or more Classes, but not all Classes, of Loans or Borrowings without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the Loans and Commitments of each Class not so benefited or (iii) change any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that creates rights in favor of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any existing Class, other than as necessary or advisable in the judgment of the Administrative Agent to cause such provision to take into account, or to make the benefits of such provision available to, Lenders holding a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment. The Loans and Borrowings established pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Commitment shall constitute Loans and Borrowings under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after the establishment of such Incremental Revolving Commitment.

SECTION 11.03 Expenses; Indemnity

(a) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay, promptly upon demand:

(i) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank, including the reasonable fees, charges and disburse-ments of Advisors for the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank, in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments, the preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the administration of the Loans and Commitments, the perfection and maintenance of the Liens securing the Collateral and any actual or proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of any of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contem-plated hereby or thereby shall be consummated);

(ii) all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disburse-ments of Advisors for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding affecting the Collateral or any part thereof, in which action, suit or proceeding the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is made a party or participates or in which the right to use the Collateral or any part thereof is threatened, or in which it becomes necessary in the judgment of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to defend or uphold the Liens granted by the Security Documents (including any action, suit or proceeding to establish or uphold the compliance of the Collateral with any Requirements of Law);

(iii) all costs and expenses incurred by the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disburse-ments of Advisors for the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, incurred in connection with the enforce-ment or protection of its rights under the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 11.03(a), or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder and the collection of the Obligations, including all such costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Obligations; and

(iv) all documentary and similar taxes and charges in respect of the Loan Documents.

For purposes of this Section 11.03(a), “Advisors” shall mean legal counsel (including local counsel), auditors, accountants, consultants, appraisers or other advisors; provided that (x) in the case of clause (i), the engagement of any Advisors other than legal counsel (including local counsel) shall be subject to approval by U.S. Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (y) in the case of clause (iii), the engagement of any Advisors other than one firm of legal counsel by any Lender shall be subject to approval by the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Agents, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing persons and each of their respective partners, controlling persons, directors, officers, trustees, employees, agents and advisors (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties, judgments, suits and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents, (ii) any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials, on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by any Company at any time, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Company; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) The provisions of this Section 11.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, the release of all or any portion of the Collateral, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 11.03 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(d) To the extent that either Borrower fails to promptly pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (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, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against any of the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

SECTION 11.04 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 the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by either Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, express 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 the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender shall have the right at any time to assign to one or more banks, insurance companies, investment companies or funds or other institutions (other than the Borrowers, Parent or any Subsidiary thereof) 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); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, the Administrative Agent and U.S. Borrower (and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, any assignment made in connection with the syndication of the Commitments and Loans by the Arrangers or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, 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 (x) with respect to U.S. Term B-2 Loan Commitments and Term Loans, $1.0 million and (y) with respect to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, $2.5 million, unless each of U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) 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, except that this clause (iii) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans other than an assignment of any rights and obligations with respect to any Term Loans which may be assigned only on a pro rata basis between (x) U.S. Term B-1 Loans and (y) Canadian Term Loans (i.e., an assignment of U.S. Term B-1 Loans representing a percentage of the total principal amount of U.S. Term B-1 Loans then outstanding shall be accompanied by an assignment of Canadian Term Loans representing the same percentage of the total principal amount of Canadian Term Loans then outstanding), (iv) 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; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of a simultaneous assignment to two or more Lender Affiliates, (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and (vi) in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of Parent, such Affiliate hereby agrees that, unless it holds all Loans of the applicable Class, its Loans and Commitments shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the requisite percentage or number of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights under any Loan Document or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder; and provided, further, that any consent of U.S. Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing or during the primary syndication of the Commitments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) 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 (provided that any liability of either Borrower to such assignee under Section 2.12 or 2.13 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable thereunder by such Borrower in the absence of such assignment, except to the extent any such amounts are attributable to a Change in Law occurring after the date of such assignment), 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 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 11.03).

(c) 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 in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) 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. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Any Lender shall have the right at any time, without the consent of either Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, to 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 (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; 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 clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to Section 11.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15, so long as such Participant complies with the requirements of each such Section, 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 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees in writing to be subject to Section 2.14(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender shall, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants, and the amount and terms of its participations; provided that no Lender shall be required to disclose or share the information contained in such register with the Borrowers or any other party, except as required by applicable law.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15 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 prior written consent of the applicable Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(g) 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 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. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

SECTION 11.05 Survival of Agreement. 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 or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents, the 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 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 and 11.03 and Article X shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the Reimbursement Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 11.06 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 the Fee Letter 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. This Agreement shall become effective when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03 have been met and when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent 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. The Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Agents and the Lenders agree that (a) all obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, that is amended and restated hereby, shall continue to exist under and be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall constitute Obligations, (b) except as expressly stated herein or amended, the other Loan Documents are ratified and confirmed as remaining unmodified and in full force and effect with respect to all present and future Obligations, (c) without limiting the foregoing, the existing Security Documents shall continue to secure all present and future Obligations (or such part of them as is described in the respective Security Documents), (d) this Agreement is an amendment and restatement, not a novation or rescission, of the Existing Credit Agreement and (e) this Agreement shall not be or shall not be deemed to be a discharge, rescission, extinguishment, novation or substitution of any Canadian Term Loan and any Canadian Term Loan outstanding immediately before the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date and this Agreement shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligation. The Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders agree that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary the provisions of Article X and Section 11.03 of the Original Credit Agreement survive and remain in full force and effect for the benefit of the Original Agents. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement 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 hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates are 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 either Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. 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.

SECTION 11.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 11.09(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than telecopy) in Section 11.01.

SECTION 11.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ and Lender Affiliates’ directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory or self-regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the applicable Borrower and its obligations or (iii) any rating agency for the purpose of obtaining a credit rating applicable to any Loan or Loan Party, (g) with the consent of U.S. Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) is publicly available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary or its business that is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 11.13 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 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 11.14 Lender Addendum. Each Lender to become a party to this Agreement on the Fourth Amendment Effectiveness Date shall do so by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender, the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Loan Party;

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto against any Loan Party;

(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(d) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or

amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations;

(e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or

(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Loan Parties, except for the defense of payment or performance of such obligations.

SECTION 11.16 Judgment Currency.

(a) Each Borrower’s obligation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of dollars expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against a Borrower in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than dollars (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in dollars, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 11.16, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of dollars.

SECTION 11.17 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrowers (and any Subsidiary in whose account a Letter of Credit is issued) that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrowers (and any Subsidiary in whose account a Letter of Credit is issued), which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of Borrowers or such Subsidiary and other information regarding Borrowers or such Subsidiary that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrowers or such Subsidiary in accordance with the Act.

¹ Excluding warehouse leases which involve annual lease payments of $50,000 or less.

² Both Inip Drive leases were part of a previous sale of the Xxxxxxx subsidiary, but were never formally assigned. Ply Gem is a co-tenant on the lease with the subsidiary it sold off. Nortek has agreed to try to novate Ply Gem for Nortek under those two leases so that Ply Gem is not responsible for any obligations thereunder. The novation, however, will likely not be accomplished prior to our closing. Therefore, Ply Gem is currently responsible for those obligations, but is indemnified.

SNE Mosinee facility lease. Ply Gem Industries, Inc. disposed of the stock of its window and door subsidiary, SNE Enterprises, Inc., in September 2001 to a newly-formed affiliate of Weathershield, Inc. Ply Gem Industries, Inc. guarantees the lease of SNE’s Mosinee, Wisconsin, facility. Rental payments through the end of the term, June 30, 2016, were approximately $29,700,000, as of December 31, 2002. The buyer has indemnified Ply Gem Industries, Inc. against any payments on the guaranty. In addition, for so long as Ply Gem Industries, Inc. has any liability for the Mosinee lease, the buyer has agreed not to pay any dividends or management fees to its shareholders or affiliates if doing so would reduce the buyer’s net worth to less than $15 million.

12.

Inip leases (former Xxxxxxx facility). Ply Gem Industries, Inc. co-signed with its subsidiary, Xxxxxxx Products, Inc., leases for two properties at 90 and 95 Inip Drive in Inwood, Long Island, New York for a term expiring in August 2007. In May 1998, the assets of Xxxxxxx were sold and the buyer did not assume the leases. Ply Gem Industries, Inc. remains contractually liable for both leases.

00 Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx is currently subleased. The tenant has an option to renew the sublease annually through the expiration of the lease, August 2007. The tenant has notified Ply Gem of its intention to continue to sublease the property through November 2004. Ply Gem has recorded a liability of approximately $1.15 million for this facility, representing the undiscounted amount of future base rent under the lease through the end of the term, less base rent under the sublease through August 2007. All other obligations under the lease (including insurance and property taxes) are passed through to the subtenant.

95 Inip Drive, also leased through August 2007, is vacant. Ply Gem is currently involved in litigation with the landlord over Ply Gem’s attempt to sublease the property over the landlord’s objections. Landlord seeks to terminate Ply Gems ability to sublease the property but hold Ply Gem to all future lease payments and obligations as they become due. The trial judge recently ruled against Ply Gem on a significant summary judgment motion. Trial is scheduled for March 2004. Ply Gem has recorded a liability of approximately $4.7 million (as of December 31, 2002) for this matter, representing the undiscounted value of full payment of all amounts through the end of the lease. Ply Gem continues to make basic rental payments as they become due.

13.

SNE GE Capital truck leases. Ply Gem guarantees certain truck and equipment leases of SNE. The last of these leases expires on March 18, 2008. Aggregate rental payments through the end of term were approximately $3,500,000 as of December 31, 2002. The buyer of SNE has indemnified Ply Gem against any payments on the guaranty.

None.

Schedule 3.18 - Environmental Matters

Identification of the following items on this Schedule is not intended to constitute a representation as to whether or not such items could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

1. Kroy Building Products, Inc., York, NE.

The USEPA investigated a drinking water well in York, NE and detected certain solvents in the drinking water in 1990. Kroy Building Products, Inc. was one of a number of businesses in the vicinity that allegedly used similar solvents in the past and has been identified as a potential source of the solvent contamination.

2. Thermal-Gard, Inc., Punxsutawney, PA.

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“PADEP”) has conducted sampling at the Punxsutawney, PA facilities as part of an investigation of certain contamination believed to have resulted from contaminants used in the electroplating industry. The investigation conducted in 2003 included sampling of soils, surface water and groundwater. Thermal-Gard has not been provided with copies of the sampling results. The former occupant of the leased facility was in the electroplating business.

3. Xxxxxx Treated Wood Products, Inc.

Ply Gem retained liability under the purchase agreement for Xxxxxx’x exposure in connection with the cleanup of a contaminated landfill in Thomson, Georgia. Xxxxxx and five other potentially responsible parties have been working with Georgia environmental authorities on a proposed cleanup of the site. No agreement has yet been reached on a proposed remediation plan. Ply Gem is indemnified by Nortek with respect to this liability.

4. CWD Windows and Doors (“CWD”), Calgary, Alberta.

The CWD facility in Calgary utilized a pentachlorophenol (“PCP”) dip tank to treat wood in the past. The dip tank was intended to be contained in a concrete vault. Samples taken in the vicinity of the vault have revealed PCP and other contaminants in the soil and groundwater as set forth in the Supplemental Phase II Environmental Site Assessment, dated September 21, 2001, prepared by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Environment Limited. In 2004, CWD submitted a proposal to Alberta Environment for further subsurface investigation. Alberta Environment has not yet responded to this proposal.

5. Window Plant Facility, Rocky Mount, Virginia.

The soil and groundwater at the Rocky Mount, Virginia facility are contaminated by pentachlorophenol and mineral spirits. One source of contamination, an underground storage tank ("UST") formerly located at the facility, was deemed to have met the "restricted closure" provision of the applicable regulations by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality ("VDEQ"). This determination restricts the property to industrial use only.

In 1994, personnel at the MW facility discovered a 3,000-gallon underground storage tank, the presence of which they were formerly unaware. A second underground tank, of 10,000 gallons capacity, had been used to store fresh PCP solution.

The use of the PCP preservative had been discontinued in approximately 1985, when the wood-treatment solution was changed to a non-PCP formulation. Subsequent investigation, however, disclosed that the tank still contained approximately 2,700 gallons of liquid with a PCP concentration of 0.83 percent, and that the adjoining soils contained volatile petroleum hydrocarbons that later were determined to contain PCP.

Remediation activities at the Rocky Mount facility have been and continue to be conducted by U.S. Industries, Inc. ("USI") pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 11, 1995 among USI, USI American Holdings, Inc., JUSI Holdings, Inc. and Jacuzzi (U.K.) Limited, and Fenway Holdings, L.L.C. as assignee of FPI Acquisition Corp. (as such agreement was subsequently amended as of August 25, 1995 and September 15, 1995, the "USI Agreement"). Fenway Holdings, L.L.C. has assigned its rights under Section 9.5 of the USI Agreement to MW Manufacturers Inc. ("MW") pursuant to an Assignment Agreement dated as of September 20, 2002.

The tank has been removed, along with the 2,700 gallons of preservative, and its contents, and surrounding soils have been removed and properly disposed of. Confirmatory sampling was performed in accordance with the Closure Plan approved by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ), and a report of the activities was submitted to VDEQ, which has now approved the tank closure. The 10,000-gallon tank also was removed, along with approximately 10 gallons of wood preservative solution accidentally spilled to the ground when a pipe was disconnected from this tank. No other PCP or other contamination was found in adjacent soils associated with the 10,000-gallon tank.

Residual contamination still exists, as indicated by investigations associated with the removal of the former 3,000-gallon tank. Investigative work performed to date by USI has disclosed subsurface contamination that lies below the concrete slab foundations of plant buildings 12 and 13, north of the site of the former 3,000-gallon tank.

On August 23, 2002, VDEQ approved a request by USI that remaining contamination be addressed under the Virginia Voluntary Remediation Program ("VRP"). In late 2004, USI delivered a Site Characterization Report under the VRP to the VDEQ, addressing the residual subsurface contamination identified near plant buildings 12 and 13. MW expects to close and remove the existing dip tank in late 2006 to assist USI with its obligations under the VRP.

6. Patriot Manufacturing, Inc. Facility (Grand Avenue), Hammonton, New Jersey.

A plume of chloroform impacted groundwater located near the former on-site sewerage treatment plant, and a plume of fuel oil-impacted groundwater located near the former "SRF" building were previously identified and are still being investigated/remediated by Whitehall Laboratories, the former operator of this facility.

7. Wood Warehouse/Fabrication, Fayetteville, North Carolina.

A small aboveground gasoline tank was previously located on site. There was a leak at a pipe connection at the bottom of the tank. It is not clear how long the tank leaked, or how much.

An employee at this site identified a portable dip tank utilized by a former operator of this facility. This tank was used for the dipping of individual door frames and was located at the northeastern corner of the main process building.

8. Alenco, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx, XX

The site was formerly used as a pipe threading facility. Alenco’s operations since 2000 include the use of press pits to collect leaking oil from the hydraulic aluminum extrusion presses and poor housekeeping in material handling and storage areas. These current and former activities could have resulted in discharges to the environment, although no direct evidence of any such contamination has been identified.

The facility stores in excess of 1320 gallons of new and used oil, but has not prepared a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures Plan, as is required.

The facility has an industrial sewer use permit for its discharge to the municipal sanitary sewer system. During the annual permit compliance monitoring conducted by the City of Xxxxx in July 2005, Alenco’s discharge exceeded the allowable limits for copper, mercury, molybdenum and nickel. Alenco received a notice of violation regarding this exceedance from the City of Xxxxx on November 22, 2005. On November 21, 2005, the facility resampled its discharge and did not identify any constituents exceeding permitted levels. It has so informed the regulators and believes that issue is resolved.

Alenco is required to obtain, but has not obtained, an NPDES general storm water permit, and is required to prepare, but has not prepared, a site specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

Based on the quantities of hydraulic oil and caustic solution stored at the facility, Alenco may be required to submit Tier II chemical inventory forms to emergency response agencies for these materials.

9. Alenco Windows GA, LLC, Peachtree City, GA

Based on the exterior storage of drums and various materials, the facility is required to obtain an NPDES stormwater discharge permit and prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

10. Peachtree Extended Products Company, Peachtree City, GA

Based on the exterior storage of drums and various materials, the facility is required to obtain an NPDES stormwater discharge permit and prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

Limited surface staining is present on concrete paving surrounding an air compressor located on an elevated dock just outside the eastern side of the manufacturing building near the northeast corner.

Limited soil-staining was identified in the vicinity of storage of containers of paint, hydraulic oil and other substances.

11. Alenco Windows, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, XX

The site has been used for manufacturing operations since 1959, including metal cleaning operations, historic use of underground storage tanks, aluminum extrusion, on-site aluminum recycling, and historic painting operations. These activities could have resulted in environmental contamination at the facility, although no direct evidence of any such contamination has been identified.

The facility stores in excess of 1320 gallons of new and used oil and is therefore required to prepare a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan, but has not done so.

The facility has an industrial sewer use permit for its discharge to the municipal sanitary sewer system. During the annual compliance monitoring conducted by the City of Xxxxx in July 2005, the concentration of mercury in Alenco’s discharge exceeded allowable limits. The facility resampled its discharge on October 19, 2005 and did not identify any exceedances. It has so advised the regulators and believes the issue is resolved.

Alenco should have submitted a Form R Toxic Release Inventory report for 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene for 2004.

12. *

The Company owns a closed landfill (OH00188409), encompassing approximately four acres, southwest of the former Xxxxxx Products (a former division of Alcoa) manufacturing facility. From approximately 1981 to 1992, sludges from Xxxxxx’x wastewater treatment operations were placed in the landfill.

In October 1992, the wastewater treatment sludge materials were determined to be a listed hazardous waste bearing waste codes F006 and F019. Landfill operations were terminated and a closure plan was submitted to the Ohio EPA on August 13, 1993. Following approval of the plan by Ohio EPA, the landfill was closed. C Certification of closure completion was submitted to Ohio EPA in December 1996, and Ohio EPA formally approved the closure on May 6, 1999.

Based on site data and other information, U.S. EPA was petitioned for an exclusion from the hazardous waste listing for the sludge materials placed in the landfill. U.S. EPA granted the exclusion, as published at pages 16643-16647 of volume 64 of the Federal Register dated April 6, 1999. However, because the landfill was closed under Ohio EPA authority as a RCRA hazardous waste disposal unit (even though its contents were determined later to be delisted hazardous wastes), the landfill is being managed under Ohio EPA’s hazardous waste post-closure care regulations at OAC 3745-66-17 through OAC 3745-66-20 and OAC 3745-68-10, and the Ohio EPA-approved Post Closure Care Plan. Post-closure care, which began upon completion of closure and includes groundwater monitoring, inspections, security, maintenance and reporting, will continue for a period of 30 years following closure, unless otherwise modified as approved by

Ohio EPA.

13. *

On or about May 18, 2006, the City of Xxxxxx conducted routine grab sampling at the plant stormwater outfall and measured the pH of the discharged water to be 11.0, slightly above the discharge limit of 10.5. After investigation into the matter, the facility could not identify a root cause for this, but instead it appears to have been an isolated incident.

14. *

Regarding the Gaffney, South Carolina facility, the Company is engaged in finalizing the obligations and requirements of Consent Agreement 93-23-SW with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (“SCDHEC”). The Consent Agreement is to address the remediation of a former suspected drum disposal area. The remedial action is complete, and except for submittal of the Final Remedial Action Report, all requirements of the Consent Agreement have been addressed. The Company has requested a meeting with SCDHEC to discuss the Report contents, remaining field activities (e.g., monitoring well abandonment), and the process to close the Consent Agreement.

15. *

The Company and/or a predecessor has been identified as a PRP at the following off-site locations:

Aqua-Tech (NPL Site), Greer, South Carolina: The Company is involved at this site through its affiliation with Southeastern Kusan. Southeastern Kusan received notice from U.S.EPA in 1993 that it had been identified as a PRP at this site as a result of alleged waste shipments to the site during the 1980s. In February 1994, Southeastern Kusan joined the Aqua Tech PRP Group, which had previously formed in 1992 in response to U.S.EPA demands that the then identified PRPs conduct a removal action at the site. The group performed the removal action and in 1995 entered into a consent order with U.S.EPA to conduct an RI/FS at the site, which was completed in 2003. Pursuant to the consent order and PRP agreement, the group members, including Southeastern Kusan, paid periodic assessments based on the group's internal allocation to fund the group's work at the site. Based on the RI/FS, U.S.EPA issued its ROD selecting the remedy for the site in September 2003, and in 2005, the PRP Group members executed the RD/RA Consent Decree pursuant to which the group will implement the remedy. The RD/RA Consent Decree was approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina and docketed at U.S. v. Exxon Mobil Corporation, Civil Action No. 06-360 (2006). According to the group's consultant, the group should be able to complete the remedy and cover U.S.EPA oversight costs for $6 million. Of this amount, certain PRP federal agencies and other PRPs that are not members of the Aqua Tech PRP Group contributed a total of $4.4 million. In order to fund the remainder, the PRP Group assessed its members $1.6 million in December 2005. Southeastern Kusan's share of the assessment was $37,400.24 or 2.3375% of the total PRP Group assessment, which was based on a waste-in amount of 437,871 lbs. The $6.0 million that was funded to implement the remedy and pay EPA oversight costs is a conservative estimate, and did not consider all sources of potential contributions (e.g., certain services in kind by the City of Xxxxx, interest, etc.). It is believed at this time that no additional assessments will be necessary.

ChemDyne (NPL Site), Hamilton, Ohio: The Company is involved at this site through its affiliation with the former Xxxxxx Corporation (“Xxxxxx”). The site was operated as a chemical waste recycling facility from 1974 to 1980. Investigations conducted after closure of the facility indicated contamination, primarily VOCs, in soils and groundwater at the site. A Remedial Action Plan for the site was developed and incorporated into the Chem-Dyne Consent Decree lodged in October 1985. Pursuant to the Decree, the Chem-Dyne Trust Fund was established and settling companies contributed $17,453,605 to carry out the requirements of the Consent Decree and Remedial Action Plan. Xxxxxx is a settling party to the Consent Decree and its obligation for the site is comprised of

contributing its allocated share to the Trust Fund. The RAP was implemented in 1986 and 1987 and the groundwater remediation system for the site was fully operational as of January 1, 1988. Additional funds were added to the Trust Fund in January 1991 and October 2002 to continue groundwater remediation at the site. As of July 31, 2006, the Trust Fund had a positive balance of approximately $2.2 million, which is estimated to fully cover future groundwater remediation costs at the site through 2010. If another assessment is required to continue groundwater remediation beyond 2010, it is expected that the Company’s share of that assessment will be de minimis.

Enviro-Chem (NPL Site), Zionsville, Indiana: The Company is involved at this site through its affiliation with the former Xxxxxx Corporation (“Xxxxxx”). The site was operated by Environmental Conservation and Chemical Corporation from approximately 1977 to 1982, when the Xxxxx County Circuit Court ordered Enviro-Chem to cease operations. In 1983, Xxxxxx received notice from U.S.EPA that it had been identified as a PRP at the site. Xxxxxx joined the PRP group for the site, and was among 246 PRPs that entered into a consent decree with U.S.EPA in 1983, which required the settling generators to pay $2.9 million for site response costs and conduct a removal action and other work at the site. In 1989, the PRPs entered into a second consent decree with U.S.EPA to fund and implement the selected remedy. The consent decree was entered by the court in 1991. The PRP group issues periodic assessments to fund the PRP group's work at the site, and each member is obligated to pay its agreed allocated share of said assessments pursuant to the group's allocation. Under the group's current allocation, Xxxxxx'x allocated percentage share is 0.6254%, which is based on a waste-in volume of approximately 35,905 gallons. PRP funding and remediation at the site is ongoing. Since 1999, there have been three group assessments, the most recent of which was issued in December 2005. Xxxxxx'x share of these assessments under the group's current allocation totaled $15,362.50, $14,072 and $13,759. The Company believes that its share of any future assessment(s), if any, will be de minimis.

Third Site (NPL Site), Zionsville, Indiana: The Company is involved at this site through its affiliation with the former Xxxxxx Corporation (“Xxxxxx”). Third Site is adjacent to the Enviro-Chem site, and in 1988, EPA sent notice letters to the Enviro-Chem PRPs claiming that the Enviro-Chem site was the source of contamination at the Third Site. Certain PRPs formed a PRP group for the site and established a fund to pay for group work at the site. In 1996, U.S.EPA issued an order to the PRPs requiring removal actions at the site. The PRPs' removal work was completed in 1996. In 1999, the PRPs executed an administrative consent order for the site under which certain PRPs cashed out as de minimis, while others, including Xxxxxx, agreed to perform an EE/CA at the site and reimburse U.S.EPA for its costs. U.S.EPA approved the EE/CA, and in 2002, the PRPs entered into an administrative consent order with U.S.EPA agreeing to conduct the following response actions at the site: (1) enclosing a DNAPL area with sheet pile walls to prevent migration of the DNAPL plume, extracting the DNAPL and treating any remaining residual DNAPL with a chemical reagent; (2) SVE of two small areas of volatile organic contamination in soils; (3) focused pump and treat on 2 groundwater plumes; and (4) ten years of monitored natural attenuation. As of November 2005, the DNAPL was contained with the sheet piling and extraction xxxxx were installed and pumping of the DNAL plume had begun. The SVE system was installed and has begun operation and is expected to be completed by spring of 2007. Once that is completed, pumping and treating of the 2 small groundwater plumes will begin. To fund the group's work at the site, the PRP group issues periodic assessments to the members. Xxxxxx'x allocated share for assessments is approximately 0.6191%, which is based on a waste-in volume of approximately 35,905 gallons. As of November 2005, the PRP group did not anticipate that any further assessments would be required to fund the above-described remedy.

Northside Sanitary Landfill (NPL Site), Zionsville, Indiana: The Company is involved at this site through its affiliation with the former Xxxxxx Corporation (“Xxxxxx”). The site is adjacent to the Enviro-Chem site. EPA sent a notice letter to Xxxxxx in 1985 advising that it had been identified as a PRP at the site. In 1987, U.S.EPA issued the ROD for the site selecting its preferred remedy. Xxxxxx joined the site PRP Group in 1988. In or about 1989, the PRPs entered into a consent decree with U.S.EPA and agreed to implement the remedy. The consent decree was approved and entered by the court in 1991. The PRPs' work at the site is ongoing. As of June 2006, applicable cleanup standards have been met for all but 5 of the 29 constituents of concern (COCs) as a result of the on-site groundwater/leachate pump and treat system. The remaining 5 COCs are benzene, ammonia, chloride, arsenic and iron. Since 1999, the group has issued annual assessments of $500,000 to the group members. The Company’s share of each of these assessments has been approximately $2,200 which is based on a waste-in volume share of approximately 214,210 gallons for an allocated percentage share under the group's current allocation of 0.4433%. The most recent assessment was paid in May 2005.

Xxxxxxx Barrel Site, Beavercreek, Ohio: The Company is involved at this site through its affiliation with the former Xxxxxx Corporation (“Xxxxxx”). Xxxxxxx Barrel was a solvents reclamation and drum reconditioning facility. The facility started operations in about 1953 and was destroyed by fire and ceased operations in 1969. It is alleged that Xxxxxx sent waste solvents to Xxxxxxx for reclamation during the 1960s. In 1998, EPA completed an EE/CA for the Xxxxxxx site, and in 1999 it sent notice letters to PRPs connected to the Xxxxxxx site. In March 2002, Xxxxxx joined the PRP group that formed to respond to U.S.EPA. In April 2002, the PRP Group members executed a consent order with U.S.EPA agreeing to fund and conduct an RI/FS at the site. The RI/FS is ongoing, and is currently expected to be completed spring 2007. Since entering the consent order with U.S.EPA, the PRP group has issued 8 assessments to its members to fund the work under the order. The most recent assessment was paid in August 2006. These assessments have been for varying amounts and the Company's share of each has ranged from $0 to $11,137 depending upon the amount of the assessment and the Company's allocated percentage share at the time of the assessment. The members' respective allocated shares have fluctuated as new members join the group. At present, Xxxxxx'x allocated percentage share under the group's allocation is 1.92%.

Xxxxxx Services, Rock Hill, South Carolina: The Company is involved at this site through its affiliation with Southeastern Kusan. The site operated from the 1960s to 1997 as a hazardous waste recycler and incinerator. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control is the lead agency who has been investigating, and implementing removal actions at the site since approximately 2004. In November 2004, SCDHEC sent notice letters to a number of entities, not including Southeastern Kusan, demanding that those entities make a good faith offer to investigate and remediate the site. A PRP group formed in February 2005, and in May 2006, this group invited other former alleged contributors to the site, including Southeastern Kusan, to join the group and participate at the site. Alcoa, on behalf of Southeastern Kusan and other affiliated and/or predecessor entities, joined the group in June 2006. To date, Alcoa has paid two assessments totaling $25,000 to the group to fund the group's work related to the site. According to nexus documents acquired by the group from SCDEHC, Southeastern Kusan allegedly sent some 276,990 lbs of material to the site. The group has yet to develop an allocation for the site, and therefore there are no percentage shares for the group members. Currently, SCDHEC is conducting the RI/FS at the site and hopes to have the remedy selected in early 2007. SCDHEC has indicated to the group that it intends to commence negotiations with the PRP group in the very near future to reach an agreement under which the group would perform the selected remedy. SCDHEC’s preliminary estimate for total future costs to finalize the RI/FS and implement the remedy totals between $15 and $25 MM.

Tremont City Landfill, German Township, Ohio: The Company is involved at this site through its affiliation with the former Xxxxxx Corporation (“Xxxxxx”). In October 2002, members of the Barrel Fill Operable Unit (BFOU) PRP Group entered into an Administrative Order by Consent with EPA requiring the PRP Group to, among other things, complete an RI/FS for the BFOU. The PRP Group subsequently identified the Company, through Xxxxxx, as a PRP, and in February 2006, the PRP Group tendered a settlement to the Company to resolve the Company’s liability to fund a share of the RI/FS for the BFOU. In May 2006, the Company and PRP Group executed the settlement agreement and the Company paid $34,768 to resolve its share of the BFOU RI/FS, including interest on the costs incurred by the group to date in performing RI/FS activities. The settlement amount was based on a waste-in volume of 7,200 gallons or 0.249%, which applies to this settlement only. As provided under the settlement agreement, the Company requested that the PRP Group ask EPA to add Alcoa Home Exteriors, Inc. to the group's consent order with U.S.EPA as a non-work party in order to get the protections of the consent order. At this time, the Company has not heard back from the PRP Group, but EPA has agreed in prior similar situations to add to the consent order other cash-out/non-work parties who settled with the PRP Group.

Chemical Recovery Systems, Elyria, Ohio: The Company was involved at this site through its affiliation with the former Xxxxxx Corporation (“Xxxxxx”). Xxxxxx joined the site PRP Group and was allocated a volume of 2,500 gallons of material sent to the site. In or about January 2003, Alcoa Building Products as successor to Xxxxxx, entered into a de minimis cash-out settlement for $2,500 resolving its liability at the site. Subsequently, Alcoa Building Products withdrew from the PRP Group.

16. *

Alcoa Home Exteriors, Inc.’s Atlanta facility has an industrial wastewater pretreatment permit that requires daily monitoring of pH, with limits between 6 and 9. On August 2, 2006, the pH reading was 10.08. After investigation into the matter, the facility could not identify a root cause for this, but instead it appears to have been an isolated incident.

(i) In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to any Payor or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of such Payor, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then (x) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness before any Payee is entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demands for, any payment on account of this Note and (y) until the holders of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness, any payment or distribution to which such Payee would otherwise be entitled (other than securities of such Payor that are subordinated, to at least the same extent as this Note, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as “Restructured Securities”)) shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness;

(ii) if any default occurs and is continuing with respect to any Senior Indebtedness (including any Default under the Credit Agreement), then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of the Payor or any other Person on its behalf with respect to this Note; and

(iii) if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Securities), in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Payee in violation of clause (i) or (ii) before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their representatives), ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.
