GECF shall assume and benefit from all rights and obligations of CS, as the initial “fondé de pouvoir” and sole bondholder under the Quebec Security Documents and the Credit Agreement.
(d) CS hereby assigns, without any warranty whatsoever, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally, to and in favour of GECF, hereby accepting, all of its right, title and interest under the Quebec Security Documents, as the holder of the power of attorney (“fondé de pouvoir”) of the bondholders under the Quebec Security Documents. As a result therefrom, GECF shall be entitled to collect, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Quebec Security Documents and the Credit Agreement, all sums due under the Quebec Security Documents, and GECF is hereby authorized to grant any discharge, release, mainlevée or acquittance of all sums due under the Quebec Security Documents (including any sums that CS may have received prior to the execution hereof from the Parent under the Quebec Security Documents), and to require the cancellation of the registration of the hypothecs and other rights created under the Quebec Security Documents.
(e) To the extent required by applicable laws or the Quebec Security Documents, this Amendment shall be deemed to be a bondholder’s instrument made in accordance with the Quebec Security Documents and confirming said appointment of GECF, and the Parent hereby accepts, to the extent applicable, such appointment. Furthermore, GECF agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Quebec Security Documents.
For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of GECF, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably constitutes GECF as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold hypothecs and security granted by any Loan Party on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec in order to secure obligations of any Loan Party under any bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness, issued by any Loan Party, and hereby agrees that GECF may act as the bondholder and mandatary (i.e. agent) with respect to any shares, capital stock or other securities or any bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness that may be issued by any Loan Party and pledged in favor of GECF, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The execution by GECF, acting as fondé de pouvoir and mandatary, prior to the Credit Agreement of any deeds of hypothec or other security documents is hereby ratified and confirmed.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Québec), GECF may acquire and be the holder of any bond or debenture issued by any Loan Party (i.e. the fondé de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond issued under any deed of hypothec by any Loan Party).
The constitution of GECF as fondé de pouvoir, and of GECF as bondholder and mandatary, or by its predecessor, CS, with respect to any bond, debenture, shares, capital stock or other securities that may be issued and pledged from time to time to GECF for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by each Person accepting an assignment of, a participation in or an arrangement in respect of, all or any portion of any Secured Parties’ rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement by the execution of an assignment, including an Assignment and Acceptance, or other agreement pursuant to which it becomes such assignee or participant, and by each successor Collateral Agent by the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance or other agreement, or by the compliance with other formalities, as the case may be, pursuant to which it becomes a successor Agent under the Credit Agreement.
12
GECF acting as fondé de pouvoir shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Collateral Agent in the Credit Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis to GECF acting as fondé de pouvoir.
SECTION 4. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date first above written when, and only when, the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment executed by each Lead Arranger and each Initial Lender. In accordance with Section 10.15 and Section 10.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement, this Amendment does not require the signatures of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any Lenders other than the Initial Lenders.
SECTION 5. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement. (a) On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Existing Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.
(b) The Existing Credit Agreement, as specifically amended by this Amendment, is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.
(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or any Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
SECTION 6. Costs, Expenses . The Borrowers agree to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agents (including the Successor Collateral Agent) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration, modification and amendment of this Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agents (including the Successor Collateral Agent)) in accordance with the terms of Section 10.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
SECTION 8. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
13
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
