- 91 -

(d)    Wherever in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in connection with a borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of an Advance, or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in dollars, but such Advance or Letter of Credit is denominated in Canadian Dollars, such amount shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of Canadian Dollars of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest Canadian Dollar, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward).

(e)    If at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar, (a) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Canadian Usage exceeds the limit of the Canadian Borrowing Base of the Canadian Borrowers or any other limitations hereunder based on U.S. Dollars or (b) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Canadian Usage exceeds any other limit based on U.S. Dollars set forth herein for such Canadian Finance Obligations, the Canadian Borrowers shall (x) if such excess is in an aggregate amount that is greater than or equal to $1,000,000, within 2 Business Days of notice from the Administrative Agent, or (y) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, immediately (i) make the necessary payments or repayments to reduce such Canadian Finance Obligations to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (ii) maintain or cause to be maintained with the Administrative Agent deposits as continuing collateral security for the Canadian Finance Obligations in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in such form and upon such terms as are acceptable to Administrative Agent. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent shall, weekly or more frequently in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, make the necessary exchange rate calculations to determine whether any such excess exists on such date and advise the Borrowers if such excess exists.

(i)    In the event that the Swingline Lender is not obligated to make a Swingline Loan under any Facility, then after receipt of a request for an Advance under such Facility pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Appropriate Lenders by telecopy, telephone, email, or other electronic form of transmission, of the requested Advance and whether such Advance is a U.S. Advance or a Canadian Advance; such notification to be sent on the requested Funding Date in the case of a U.S. Advance of U.S. Base Rate Loans or a Canadian Advance of Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans and on the Business Day that is two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date in the case of all other Advances. If the Administrative Agent has timely notified the Appropriate Lenders of a requested Advance as provided above, then each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Advance available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in the requested currency, to the Appropriate Agent’s Account, not later than (x) 3:00 p.m. Local Time on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date, in the case of U.S. Advances that are U.S. Base Rate Loans or Canadian Advances that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, and (y) 10:00 a.m. Local Time on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date for all other Advances. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Advances from the Appropriate Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to the applicable Borrower(s) on the requested Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds in the requested currency equal to such proceeds received by the Administrative Agent to the Appropriate Designated Account; provided, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(e)(ii), no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Loan if (A) one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Advance unless such condition has been waived, or (B) after giving effect to the applicable Advance, (x) the Usage under the applicable Facility would exceed the Loan Cap as then in effect with respect to such Facility or (y) the Pro Rata Share of such Lender in the Usage under the applicable Facility would exceed such Lender’s Commitment under such Facility.

(ii)    Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender under any Facility 30 minutes prior to the applicable funding time set forth in clause (i) above on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date relative to a requested Advance as to which the Administrative Agent has notified the Appropriate Lenders of a requested Advance that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Appropriate Borrowers, the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Appropriate Lender has made or will make such amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in the requested currency on the Funding Date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Appropriate Borrowers a corresponding amount. If, on the requested Funding Date, any Appropriate Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that it is required to make available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and if the Administrative Agent has made available to the Appropriate Borrowers such amount on the requested Funding Date, then such Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Advance available

- 97 -

to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, to the Appropriate Agent’s Account, no later than 10:00 a.m. Local Time on the Business Day that is the first Business Day after the requested Funding Date (in which case, the interest accrued on such Lender’s portion of such Advance for the Funding Date shall be for the Administrative Agent’s separate account). If any Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required to make available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds as and when required hereby and if the Administrative Agent has made available to the Appropriate Borrowers such amount, then that Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the applicable Defaulting Lender Rate for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.2(d)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the amount that a Lender is required to remit is made available to the Administrative Agent, then such payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Advances for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the Administrative Agent will notify the Appropriate Borrowers of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Appropriate Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Advance, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to such Advance.

(e)    Special Advances.

(i)    Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, at any time (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 are not satisfied, the Administrative Agent hereby is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time, in the Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion, to make Advances under any Facility to, or for the benefit of, the Appropriate Borrowers on behalf of the Appropriate Lenders, that the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Finance Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) (the U.S. Advances described in this Section 2.2(e)(i) shall be referred to as “U.S. Protective Advances” and the Canadian Advances described in this
Section 2.2(e)(i) shall be referred to as the “Canadian Protective Advances” and together with the U.S. Protective Advances, the “Protective Advances”).

(ii)    Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, and either the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances (including Swingline Loans) to the Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as:

- 98 -

(A)    after giving effect to such Advances, the aggregate amount of Overadvances outstanding at any time shall not exceed 5% of the Maximum Global Credit Amount,

(B)    with respect to any such U.S. Advances, after giving effect to such U.S. Advances (1) the outstanding U.S. Usage does not exceed the U.S. Borrowing Base by more than 10% of the U.S. Borrowing Base, (2) the outstanding U.S. Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the U.S. Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed Maximum U.S. Credit Amount, and (3) the outstanding U.S. Special Advances does not exceed 10% of the U.S. Borrowing Base, and

(C)    with respect to any such Canadian Advances, after giving effect to such Canadian Advances (1) the outstanding Canadian Usage does not exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base by more than 10% of the Canadian Borrowing Base, (2) the outstanding Canadian Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Canadian Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed Maximum Canadian Credit Amount, and (3) the outstanding Canadian Special Advances does not exceed 10% of the Canadian Borrowing Base.

In the event the Administrative Agent obtains actual knowledge that the U.S. Usage, the Canadian Usage, the aggregate outstanding U.S. Special Advances, the aggregate outstanding Canadian Special Advances or aggregate outstanding Overadvances exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately foregoing provisions, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to any Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) or Protective Advances (to the extent so limited) unless the Administrative Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case the Administrative Agent may make such Overadvance (or Protective Advance, as applicable) and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Appropriate Lenders with respect to any such Advance shall, together with the Administrative Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with the Appropriate Borrowers intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances to the Borrowers to an amount permitted by the preceding sentence. In such circumstances, if any Lender objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and are not meant for the benefit of the Borrowers (it being understood that the Required Lenders may, without the consent of the Borrowers, waive any of the restrictions or limitations in respect of Overadvances set forth in this Section 2.2(e)(ii), which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.3(e)). Each Lender under any Facility shall be obligated to settle with the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.2(f) (or Section 2.2(h), as applicable) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any applicable unintentional Overadvances made under such Facility by the Administrative Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made under such Facility as permitted under this Section 2.2(e)(ii), and any Overadvances made under such Facility resulting from the charging to the Appropriate Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses.

- 99 -

(iii)    Each U.S. Protective Advance and each U.S. Overadvance (each, a “U.S. Special Advance”) shall be deemed to be a U.S. Advance hereunder and each Canadian Protective Advance and each Canadian Overadvance (each, a “Canadian Special Advance” and together with the U.S. Special Advances, “Special Advances”). No U.S. Special Advance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and no Canadian Special Advance shall be eligible to be a BA Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan. Prior to Settlement with respect to any Special Advances, all payments on the Special Advances shall be payable to the Administrative Agent solely for its own account. The Special Advances under any Facility shall be repayable on demand, shall be secured by the Liens of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents securing the Finance Obligations under such Facility and, (A) in the case of U.S. Special Advances, shall constitute U.S. Finance Obligations hereunder and bear interest at (x) the U.S. Base Rate if denominated in U.S. Dollars and (y) EURIBOR with an Interest Rate of one month if denominated in Euros, and (B) in the case of Canadian Special Advances, shall constitute Canadian Finance Obligations hereunder and bear interest (x) at the Canadian Prime Rate if denominated in Canadian Dollars and (y) at the Canadian Base Rate if denominated in U.S. Dollars. The provisions of this Section 2.2(e) are for the exclusive benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit the Borrowers (or any other Loan Party) in any way.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Required Lenders may revoke the Administrative Agent’s discretion to make, or permit the existence of, any Overadvance (other than an Overadvance resulting from a Protective Advance) upon 10 Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent. Overadvances will not be permitted to be outstanding for more than 45 days from the date made without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(f)    Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of (i) the U.S. Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding U.S. Advances, and (ii) the Canadian Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Canadian Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement set forth in this Section 2.2(f) shall not be for the benefit of the Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Appropriate Lenders as to the Appropriate Advances, the U.S. Swingline Loans, and the Appropriate Special Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(i)    The Administrative Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (1) on behalf of the Swingline Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swingline Loans, (2) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Special Advances, and (3) with respect to the Borrowers’ or their Subsidiaries’ payments or other amounts received, as to each by notifying the applicable Lenders by telecopy,

- 100 -

telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. Local Time on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances, Swingline Loans and Special Advances under each Facility for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.2(h)): (y) if the amount of the applicable Advances (including Swingline Loans and Special Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swingline Loans and Special Advances) required to be made, or subject to participation or settlement, by such Lender as of a Settlement Date, then the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. Local Time on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of all Advances (including Swingline Loans and Special Advances) required to be made, or subject to participation or settlement, by such Lender, and (z) if the amount of the Advances (including Swingline Loans and Special Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swingline Loans and Special Advances) required to be made, or subject to participation or settlement, by such Lender as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. Local Time on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency to the Appropriate Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances under any Facility (including Swingline Loans and U.S. Special Advances). Such amounts made available to the Administrative Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Loans or Special Advances, as applicable, and, together with the portion of such Swingline Loans or Special Advances representing the Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(ii)    In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Swingline Loans and Special Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swingline Loans, and Special Advances, in each case required to be made, or subject to participation or settlement, by such Lender as of a Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments applicable to such Finance Obligations actually received in good funds by the Administrative Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by the Borrowers and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(iii)    Between Settlement Dates, the Administrative Agent, to the extent Special Advances or Swingline Loans under any Facility are outstanding, may pay

- 101 -

over to the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, any payments or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances under such Facility, for application to such Special Advances or Swingline Loans. Between Settlement Dates, the Administrative Agent, to the extent no Special Advances or Swingline Loans are outstanding under any Facility, may pay over to the Swingline Lender any payments or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances under such Facility, for application to the Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances outstanding under such Facility. If, as of any Settlement Date, payments or other amounts of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries under any Facility received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances outstanding under such Facility other than to Swingline Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, the Swingline Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Appropriate Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Appropriate Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender if the Administrative Agent has implemented the provisions of Section 2.2(h)), to be applied to the outstanding U.S. Advances of such the Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the U.S. Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Swingline Lender with respect to U.S. Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent with respect to Special Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Advances other than U.S. Swingline Loans and Special Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.

(iv)    Anything in this Section 2.2(f) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.2(h).

(g)    Notation. the Administrative Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrowers, shall maintain a register showing in the Applicable Currency the principal amount of the Advances, owing to each Lender, including the Swingline Loans owing to the Swingline Lender, and Special Advances owing to the Administrative Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.

(h)    Defaulting Lenders.

(i)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(b)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and,

- 102 -

(A)    in the absence of such transfer to a Defaulting U.S. Lender, the Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments pertaining to U.S. Advances and/or U.S. Collateral, (1) first, to the Swingline Lender to the extent of any U.S. Swingline Loans that were made by the Swingline Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting U.S. Lender, (2) second, to any U.S. Issuing Bank, to the extent of the portion of a U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement that was required to be, but was not, paid by the Defaulting U.S. Lender, (3) third, to each Non-Defaulting U.S. Lender ratably in accordance with their U.S. Revolving Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s portion of a U.S. Advance (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting U.S. Lender), (4) fourth, to a suspense account maintained by the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of the U.S. Borrowers (upon the request of the U.S. Borrowers and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2) as if such Defaulting U.S. Lender had made its portion of U.S. Advances (or other funding obligations) hereunder, (5) fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to U.S. Revolving Lenders, any U.S. Issuing Bank, or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any U.S. Revolving Lender, the U.S. Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting U.S. Lender as a result of such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (6) sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the U.S. Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the U.S. Borrowers against such Defaulting U.S. Lender as a result of such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (7) seventh, to the payment of amounts described in subclauses (1) through (6) of Section 2.2(h)(i)(B), and (8) eighth, from and after the date on which all other amounts have been paid in full as described in sub-clauses (1) through (7) above, to such Defaulting U.S. Lender in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(ii)(A)(14),

(B)    in the absence of such transfer to a Defaulting Canadian Lender, the Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments pertaining to Canadian Advances and/or Canadian Collateral, (1) first, to the Swingline Lender to the extent of any Canadian Swingline Loans that were made by the Swingline Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Canadian Lender, (2) second, to any Canadian Issuing Bank, to the extent of the portion of a Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement that was required to be, but was not, paid by the Defaulting Canadian Lender, (3) third, to each Non-Defaulting Canadian Lender ratably in accordance with their Canadian Revolving Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Canadian Lender’s portion of a Canadian Advance (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting Canadian Lender), (4) fourth, to a suspense account maintained by the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of the Canadian Borrowers (upon the request of the Canadian Borrowers and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2) as if such Defaulting Canadian Lender had made its portion of Canadian Advances (or other funding obligations) hereunder, (5) fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Canadian Revolving Lenders, the Canadian Issuing Bank, or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained

- 103 -

by any Canadian Revolving Lender, the Canadian Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Canadian Lender as a result of such Defaulting Canadian Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (6) sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Canadian Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Canadian Borrowers against such Defaulting Canadian Lender as a result of such Defaulting Canadian Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (7) seventh, from and after the date on which all other amounts have been paid in full as described in subclauses (1) through (6) above, to such Defaulting Canadian Lender in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(ii)(B)(13),

Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may hold and, in its reasonable discretion, re-lend to the Appropriate Borrowers for the account of any Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fees payable under Section 2.9(b), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the matters governed by clause (A) of the proviso to Section 10.1(a). The provisions of this Section 2.2(h) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which all of the Appropriate Non-Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Appropriate Borrowers shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 2.2(h) to such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to the Administrative Agent all amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder (on which earlier date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any remaining cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(h)(ii) shall be released to the Appropriate Borrowers). The operation of this Section 2.2(h) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by any Defaulting Lender (subject to Section 10.24) or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by the Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or to the Appropriate Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund under any Facility hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle the Appropriate Borrowers, at their option, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Assumption in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Finance Obligations (other than

- 104 -

Bank Product Obligations, but including (1) all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof, and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of its participation in the Appropriate Letters of Credit); provided, that, subject to Section 10.24, any such assumption of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or the Borrowers’ rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund or other breach of its obligations hereunder. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.2(h) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.2(h) shall control and govern.

(ii)    If any U.S. Swingline Loan or U.S. Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time that a U.S. Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting U.S. Lender then:

(A)    such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s U.S. Swingline Exposure and U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (it being understood such U.S. Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Swingline Exposure shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting U.S. Lenders and such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting U.S. Lenders to the extent such U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure arises from a U.S. Letter of Credit) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting U.S. Lenders’ Advance Exposures plus such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s U.S. Swingline Exposure and U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting U.S. Lenders’ U.S. Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied at such time;

(B)    if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Appropriate Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s U.S. Swingline Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) to the extent that such Defaulting U.S. Lender has failed to perform its Settlement obligations under Section 2.2(f) and (y) second, Collateralize such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s applicable U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) for so long as such U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding; provided, that the U.S. Borrowers shall not be obligated to Collateralize any Defaulting U.S. Lender’s U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure if such Defaulting U.S. Lender is also the U.S. Issuing Bank;

(C)    if the U.S. Borrowers Collateralize any portion of such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.2(h)(ii), the U.S. Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting U.S. Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(b) with respect to such Collateralized portion of such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Letter of Credit Exposure is Collateralized;

- 105 -

(D)    to the extent the U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting U.S. Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.2(h)(ii), then the Letter of Credit Fees payable to the Non-Defaulting U.S. Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting U.S. Lenders’ U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure;

(E)    to the extent any Defaulting U.S. Lender’s U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure is neither Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.2(h)(ii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the U.S. Issuing Bank or any U.S. Revolving Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees that would have otherwise been payable to such Defaulting U.S. Lender under Section 2.5(b) with respect to such portion of such U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure shall instead be payable to the U.S. Issuing Bank until such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure is Collateralized or reallocated;

(F)    so long as any U.S. Revolving Lender is a Defaulting U.S. Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any U.S. Swingline Loan and the U.S. Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, or increase any U.S. Letter of Credit, in each case, to the extent (x) the Defaulting U.S. Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such U.S. Swingline Loans or U.S. Letters of Credit cannot be reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.2(h)(ii) or (y) the Swingline Lender or the U.S. Issuing Bank, as applicable, has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the U.S. Issuing Bank, as applicable, and the U.S. Borrowers to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s or the U.S. Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the Defaulting U.S. Lender’s participation in U.S. Swingline Loans or U.S. Letters of Credit; and

(G)    the Administrative Agent may release any cash collateral provided by the U.S. Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.2(h)(ii) to the U.S. Issuing Bank and the U.S. Issuing Bank may apply any such cash collateral to the payment of such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement that is not reimbursed by the U.S. Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(d).

(iii)    If any Canadian Swingline Loan or Canadian Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time that a Canadian Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Canadian Lender then:

(A)    such Defaulting Canadian Lender’s Canadian Swingline Exposure and Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Canadian Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (it being understood such Canadian Defaulting Lender’s Canadian Swingline Exposure shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Canadian Lenders and such Defaulting Canadian Lender’s Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Canadian Lenders to the extent such Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure arises from a Canadian Letter of Credit) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Canadian Lenders’ Advance Exposures plus such Defaulting Canadian Lender’s Canadian Swingline Exposure and Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Canadian Lenders’ Canadian Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied at such time;

expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any Bank Product Agreement that are charged to any Loan Account shall thereupon constitute Advances hereunder under the Facility related to the Loan Account to which such amounts were charged and shall initially accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are U.S. Base Rate Loans (unless and until converted into LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), Canadian Prime Rate Loans (unless and until converted into BA Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), Canadian Base Rate Loans (unless and until converted into LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or EURIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one month, as applicable.

(e)    Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue, other than Loans for which the BA Rate, U.S. Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or Canadian Base Rate (as applicable) is used which shall be calculated on the basis of three hundred sixty-five (365) day year (or 366 day year, as applicable) and actual days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue. In the event the U.S. Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or Canadian Base Rate (as applicable) is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the U.S. Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or Canadian Base Rate (as applicable) automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the U.S. Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or Canadian Base Rate (as applicable).

(f)    Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. The Borrowers and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, including resulting in an amount or at a rate that would result in the receipt by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of interest at a criminal rate, as the terms “interest” and “criminal rate” are defined under the Criminal Code (Canada), then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, the Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from the Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Finance Obligations to the extent of such excess.

(g)    Interest Act (Canada). Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the rate or rates of interest applicable to certain of the Loans and fees as specified hereunder may be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), if interest computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year is payable for any part of the calendar year, the equivalent yearly rate of interest may be determined by multiplying the specified rate of interest by the number of days (three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366)) in such calendar year and dividing such product by three hundred sixty (360). For the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada) and any other purpose, (a) the principle of deemed reinvestment shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (b) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

- 119 -

2.6    Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item under any Facility by the Administrative Agent shall not be required to be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency made to the Appropriate Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then the Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by the Administrative Agent only if it is received any the Appropriate Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 1:30 p.m. Local Time. If any payment item is received into any the Appropriate Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 1:30 pm. Local Time on a Business Day (unless the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received), it shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

2.7    Designated Accounts. The Administrative Agent is authorized to make the Advances and each Issuing Bank is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be a Responsible Officer or, without instructions, if pursuant to Section 2.5(d). The U.S. Borrowers agree to establish and maintain the U.S. Designated Account with the U.S. Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the U.S. Advances requested by the U.S. Borrowers and made by the Administrative Agent or U.S. Revolving Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrowers, any U.S. Advance or U.S. Swingline Loan requested by the U.S. Borrowers and made by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Revolving Lenders hereunder shall be made to the U.S. Designated Account. The Canadian Borrowers agree to establish and maintain the Canadian Designated Account with the Canadian Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Canadian Advances to the Canadian Borrowers requested by the Canadian Borrowers and made by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Revolving Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Borrowers, any Canadian Advance requested by the Canadian Borrowers and made by the Administrative Agent or Canadian Revolving Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Canadian Designated Account.

2.8    Maintenance of Loan Accounts; Statements of Finance Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the U.S. Borrowers (the “U.S. Loan Account”) on which the U.S. Borrowers will be charged with all U.S. Advances (including U.S. Special Advances and U.S. Swingline Loans) made by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, or the U.S. Revolving Lenders to the U.S. Borrowers or for the U.S. Borrowers’ account, the U.S. Letters of Credit issued or arranged by the U.S. Issuing Bank for the U.S. Borrowers’ account, and with all other payment obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect to the U.S. Finance Obligations, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses with respect thereto. In accordance with Section 2.6, the U.S. Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by the Administrative Agent from the U.S. Borrowers or for the U.S. Borrowers’ account. The Administrative Agent shall

- 120 -

maintain an account on its books in the name of the Canadian Borrowers (the “Canadian Loan Account”; and together with the U.S. Loan Account; each individually a “Loan Account” and collectively, the “Loan Accounts”) on which the Canadian Borrowers will be charged, all Canadian Advances (including Canadian Special Advances and Canadian Swingline Loans) made by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Lenders to the Canadian Borrowers or for the Canadian Borrowers’ account, the Canadian Letters of Credit issued or arranged by the Canadian Issuing Bank for the Canadian Borrowers’ account, and with all other payment obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect to the Canadian Finance Obligations, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses with respect thereto. In accordance with Section 2.6, the U.S. Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by the Administrative Agent from the U.S. Borrowers or for the U.S. Borrowers’ account.

2.10    U.S. Letters of Credit.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of the U.S. Borrowers made in accordance herewith, and prior to the Revolving Termination Date, the U.S. Issuing Bank agrees to issue a requested U.S. Letter of Credit for the account of the U.S. Borrowers. By submitting a request to the U.S. Issuing Bank for the issuance of a U.S. Letter of Credit, the U.S. Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that the U.S. Issuing Bank issue the requested U.S. Letter of Credit. Each request for the issuance of a U.S. Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding U.S. Letter of Credit, shall be irrevocable and shall be made in writing by a Responsible Officer and delivered to the U.S. Issuing Bank via telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Issuing Bank and reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Issuing Bank and (i) shall specify (A) the amount of such U.S. Letter of Credit, (B) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such U.S. Letter of Credit, (C) the proposed expiration date of such U.S. Letter of Credit, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary of the U.S. Letter of Credit, and (E) such other information (including, the conditions to drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the U.S. Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such U.S. Letter of Credit, and (ii) shall be accompanied by such Issuer Documents as the

- 122 -

Administrative Agent or the U.S. Issuing Bank may request or require, to the extent that such requests or requirements are consistent with the Issuer Documents that the U.S. Issuing Bank generally requests for U.S. Letters of Credit in similar circumstances. The U.S. Issuing Banks’ records of the content of any such request will be conclusive. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the U.S. Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a U.S. Letter of Credit that supports the obligations of the U.S. Borrowers or one of their Subsidiaries in respect of (x) a lease of real property, or (y) an employment contract. No U.S. Issuing Bank shall issue any U.S. Letter of Credit if the expiry date of the requested U.S. Letter of Credit would occur after the Revolving Termination Date, unless all the U.S. Lenders have approved such expiry date or such U.S. Letter of Credit is Collateralized prior to the Revolving Termination Date.

(b)    The U.S. Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a U.S. Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance:

(i)    the U.S. Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $65,000,000 (the “U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit”), or

(ii)    the U.S. Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the U.S. Loan Cap less the outstanding amount of U.S. Advances (including U.S. Special Advances and U.S. Swingline Loans).

(c)    In the event there is a Defaulting U.S. Lender as of the date of any request for the issuance of a U.S. Letter of Credit, the U.S. Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue or arrange for such U.S. Letter of Credit to the extent (i) the Defaulting U.S. Lender’s U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such U.S. Letter of Credit may not be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.3(h)(ii), or (ii) the U.S. Issuing Bank has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the U.S. Borrowers to eliminate the U.S. Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in such U.S. Letter of Credit of the Defaulting U.S. Lender, which arrangements may include the U.S. Borrowers Collateralizing such Defaulting U.S. Lender’s U.S. Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with Section 2.3(h)(ii). Additionally, the U.S. Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a U.S. Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain the U.S. Issuing Bank from issuing such U.S. Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the U.S. Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the U.S. Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that the U.S. Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such U.S. Letter of Credit in particular, (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the U.S. Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, or (C) if amounts demanded to be paid under any U.S. Letter of Credit will not be in U.S. Dollars.

(d)    The Borrowers and the Lender Group hereby acknowledge and agree that all U.S. Rollover Letters of Credit shall constitute U.S. Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Closing Date with the same effect as if such U.S. Rollover Letters of Credit were issued by the U.S. Issuing Bank at the request of the U.S. Borrowers on the Closing Date. Each U.S. Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Issuing Bank, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in U.S. Dollars. If the U.S. Issuing Bank makes a payment under a U.S. Letter of Credit, the U.S.

- 123 -

Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the applicable U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement on the Business Day such U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 4) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to U.S. Advances that are U.S. Base Rate Loans. If a U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be a U.S. Advance hereunder, the U.S. Borrowers’ obligation to pay the amount of such U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement to the U.S. Issuing Bank shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting U.S. Advance. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the U.S. Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the U.S. Issuing Bank or, to the extent that U.S. Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.10(e) to reimburse the U.S. Issuing Bank, then to such U.S. Advances and the U.S. Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(e)    Promptly following receipt of a notice of a U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.10(d), each U.S. Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.10(d) on the same terms and conditions as if the U.S. Borrowers had requested the amount thereof as a U.S. Advance and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the U.S. Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the U.S. Revolving Lenders. By the issuance of a U.S. Letter of Credit (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a U.S. Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of the U.S. Issuing Bank or the U.S. Revolving Lenders, the U.S. Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each U.S. Revolving Lender, and each U.S. Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each U.S. Letter of Credit issued by the U.S. Issuing Bank, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such U.S. Letter of Credit, and each such U.S. Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the U.S. Issuing Bank, such U.S. Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement made by the U.S. Issuing Bank under the applicable U.S. Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the U.S. Issuing Bank, such U.S. Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement made by the U.S. Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the U.S. Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.10(d), or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to the U.S. Borrowers for any reason. Each U.S. Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the U.S. Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 4. If any such U.S. Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such U.S. Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a U.S. Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such U.S. Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting U.S. Lender and the Administrative Agent (for the account of the U.S. Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such U.S. Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

- 124 -

(f)    Each U.S. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Lender Group (including the U.S. Issuing Bank and its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents) and each such Person’s respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including the U.S. Issuing Bank, a “U.S. Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any such U.S. Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.18) (the “U.S. Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of:

(i)    any U.S. Letter of Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance;

(ii)    any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any such U.S. Letter of Credit Related Person in connection with any U.S. Letter of Credit;

(iii)    any action or proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, any U.S. Letter of Credit (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any U.S. Letter of Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of, or honoring a presentation under, any U.S. Letter of Credit;

(iv)    any independent undertakings issued by the beneficiary of any U.S. Letter of Credit;

(v)    any unauthorized instruction or request made to the U.S. Issuing Bank in connection with any U.S. Letter of Credit or requested U.S. Letter of Credit or error in computer or electronic transmission;

(vi)    an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated;

(vii)    any third party seeking to enforce the rights of an applicant, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of U.S. Letter of Credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document;

(viii)    the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the U.S. Letter of Credit Related Person;

(ix)    the U.S. Issuing Bank’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation; or

- 125 -

(x)    the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental or regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of the U.S. Letter of Credit Related Person;

in each case, including that resulting from the Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification under clauses (i) through (x) above to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. The U.S. Borrowers hereby agree to pay the U.S. Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity on demand from time to time all amounts owing under this Section 2.10(f). If and to the extent that the obligations of the U.S. Borrowers under this Section 2.10(f) are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers agree to make the maximum contribution to the Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs permissible under applicable law. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

(g)    The liability of the U.S. Issuing Bank (or any other U.S. Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or arising out of any U.S. Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by the U.S. Borrowers that are caused directly by the U.S. Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a U.S. Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such U.S. Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a U.S. Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such U.S. Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a U.S. Letter of Credit. The U.S. Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if the U.S. Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement. The U.S. Borrowers’ aggregate remedies against any U.S. Issuing Bank and the U.S. Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any U.S. Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by the U.S. Borrowers to the U.S. Issuing Bank in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under Section 2.10(d), plus interest at the rate then applicable to U.S. Base Rate Loans hereunder. The U.S. Borrowers shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against the U.S. Issuing Bank or any other U.S. Letter of Credit Related Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the U.S. Letters of Credit. Any claim by the U.S. Borrowers under or in connection with any U.S. Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by the U.S. Borrowers as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of; and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had the U.S. Borrowers taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing the U.S. Issuing Bank to effect a cure.

(h)    The U.S. Borrowers are responsible for preparing or approving the final text of the U.S. Letter of Credit as issued by the U.S. Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance the U.S. Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by the U.S. Issuing

- 126 -

Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by the U.S. Borrowers. The U.S. Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of the U.S. Letter of Credit for the U.S. Borrowers’ purposes. With respect to any U.S. Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such U.S. Letter of Credit, the U.S. Issuing Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such U.S. Letter of Credit and, if the U.S. Borrowers do not at any time want such U.S. Letter of Credit to be renewed, the U.S. Borrowers will so notify the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Issuing Bank at least 15 calendar days before the U.S. Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such U.S. Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such U.S. Letter of Credit.

(i)    The U.S. Borrowers’ reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 2.10 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including:

(i)    any lack of validity, enforceability or legal effect of any U.S. Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein;

(ii)    payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document that does not comply in whole or in part with the terms of the applicable U.S. Letter of Credit or which proves to be fraudulent, forged or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such U.S. Letter of Credit;

(iii)    The U.S. Issuing Bank or any of its branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of any U.S. Letter of Credit;

(iv)    The U.S. Issuing Bank or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any U.S. Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the U.S. Letter of Credit;

(v)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, the U.S. Issuing Bank or any other Person;

(vi)    any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 2.10(i), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, any U.S. Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any U.S. Letter of Credit, whether against the U.S. Issuing Bank, the beneficiary or any other Person; or

(vii)    the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, however, that subject to Section 2.10(g) above, the foregoing shall not release the U.S. Issuing Bank from such liability to the U.S. Borrowers as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against the U.S. Issuing Bank following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of the U.S. Borrowers to the U.S. Issuing Bank arising under, or in connection with, this Section 2.10 or any U.S. Letter of Credit.

(j)    Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the U.S. Issuing Bank and each other U.S. Letter of Credit Related Person (if applicable) shall not be responsible to the U.S. Borrowers for, and the U.S. Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the U.S. Borrowers and the obligation of the U.S. Borrowers to reimburse the U.S. Issuing Bank for each drawing under each U.S. Letter of Credit shall not be impaired by:

(xiii)    honor of a presentation that is subsequently determined by the U.S. Issuing Bank to have been made in violation of international, federal, state or local restrictions on the transaction of business with certain prohibited Persons.

(k)    The U.S. Borrowers shall pay immediately upon demand to the Administrative Agent for the account of the U.S. Issuing Bank as non-refundable fees, commissions, and charges (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such fees, commissions, and charges to the U.S. Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6(d) shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this Section 2.10(k)): (i) a fronting fee which shall be imposed by the U.S. Issuing Bank upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit of .125% per annum of the face amount thereof, plus (ii) any and all other customary commissions, fees and charges then in effect imposed by, and any and all expenses incurred by, the U.S. Issuing Bank, or by any adviser, confirming institution or entity or other nominated person, relating to U.S. Letters of Credit, at the time of issuance of any U.S. Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any U.S. Letter of Credit (including transfers, assignments of proceeds, amendments, drawings, renewals or cancellations).

(o)    This Section 2.10 shall not apply to any increased costs or reduction of the rate of return on capital attributable to Taxes.

2.11    Canadian Letters of Credit.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of the Canadian Borrowers made in accordance herewith, and prior to the Revolving Termination Date, each Canadian Issuing Bank agrees to issue a requested Canadian Letter of Credit for the account of the Canadian Borrowers. By submitting a request to Agent and any Canadian Issuing Bank for the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit, Canadian Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that such Canadian Issuing Bank issue the requested Canadian Letter of Credit. Each request for the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Canadian Letter of Credit, shall be irrevocable and shall be made in writing by a

- 130 -

Responsible Officer and delivered to the Canadian Issuing Bank via telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to the Responsible Canadian Issuing Bank and reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Responsible Canadian Issuing Bank and (i) shall specify (A) the amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit, (B) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Canadian Letter of Credit, (C) the proposed expiration date of such Canadian Letter of Credit, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Canadian Letter of Credit, and (E) such other information (including, the conditions to drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Canadian Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Canadian Letter of Credit, and (ii) shall be accompanied by such Issuer Documents as the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Issuing Bank may request or require, to the extent that such requests or requirements are consistent with the Issuer Documents that the Canadian Issuing Bank generally requests for Canadian Letters of Credit in similar circumstances. The Canadian Issuing Bank’s records of the content of any such request will be conclusive. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Canadian Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a Canadian Letter of Credit that supports the obligations of the Canadian Borrowers or one of their Subsidiaries in respect of (x) a lease of real property, or (y) an employment contract. No Canadian Issuing Bank shall issue any Canadian Letter of Credit if the expiry date of the requested Canadian Letter of Credit would occur after the Revolving Termination Date, unless all the Canadian Lenders have approved such expiry date or such Canadian Letter of Credit is Collateralized prior to the Revolving Termination Date.

(b)    The Canadian Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Canadian Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance:

(i)    the Canadian Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $20,000,000 (the “Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit”), or

(ii)    the Canadian Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Canadian Loan Cap less the outstanding amount of Canadian Advances (including Canadian Special Advances and Canadian Swingline Loans).

(c)    In the event there is a Defaulting Canadian Lender as of the date of any request for the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit, the Canadian Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue or arrange for such Canadian Letter of Credit to the extent (i) the Defaulting Canadian Lender’s Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Canadian Letter of Credit may not be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.3(h)(ii), or (ii) the Canadian Issuing Bank has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Canadian Borrowers to eliminate the Canadian Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in such Canadian Letter of Credit of the Defaulting Canadian Lender, which arrangements may include the Canadian Borrowers Collateralizing such Defaulting Canadian Lender’s Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with Section 2.3(h)(ii). Additionally, the Canadian Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Canadian Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain the Canadian Issuing Bank from issuing such Canadian Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Canadian

- 131 -

Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Canadian Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that the Canadian Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Canadian Letter of Credit in particular, (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Canadian Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, or (C) if amounts demanded to be paid under any Canadian Letter of Credit will not be in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars.

(d)    The Borrowers and the Lender Group hereby acknowledge and agree that all Canadian Rollover Letters of Credit shall constitute Canadian Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Closing Date with the same effect as if such Canadian Rollover Letters of Credit were issued by the Canadian Issuing Bank at the request of the Canadian Borrowers on the Closing Date. Each Canadian Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Canadian Issuing Bank, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Canadian Dollars. If the Canadian Issuing Bank makes a payment under a Canadian Letter of Credit, the Canadian Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the applicable Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement on the Business Day such Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be converted into Canadian Dollars in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars and be deemed to be an Advance hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 4) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Canadian Advances that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars and Canadian Base Rate Loans in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars. If a Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be a Canadian Advance hereunder, the Canadian Borrowers’ obligation to pay the amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement to the Canadian Issuing Bank shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting Canadian Advance. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Canadian Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Canadian Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Canadian Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.11(e) to reimburse the Canadian Issuing Bank, then to such Canadian Advances and the Canadian Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(e)    Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.11(d), each Canadian Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.11(d) on the same terms and conditions as if the Canadian Borrowers had requested the amount thereof as a Canadian Advance and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Canadian Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Canadian Revolving Lenders. By the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a Canadian Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of the Canadian Issuing Bank or the Canadian Revolving Lenders, the Canadian Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Canadian Revolving Lender, and each Canadian Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Canadian Letter of Credit issued by the Canadian Issuing Bank, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Canadian Letter of Credit, and each such Canadian Revolving Lender agrees to pay

- 132 -

to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Canadian Issuing Bank, such Canadian Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement made by the Canadian Issuing Bank under the applicable Canadian Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Canadian Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Canadian Issuing Bank, such Canadian Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement made by the Canadian Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Canadian Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.11(d), or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to the Canadian Borrowers for any reason. Each Canadian Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Canadian Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.11(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 4. If any such Canadian Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Canadian Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Canadian Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Canadian Lender and the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Canadian Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Canadian Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

(f)    Each Canadian Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Lender Group (including the Canadian Issuing Bank and its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents) and each such Person’s respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including the Canadian Issuing Bank, a “Canadian Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any such Canadian Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.18) (the “Canadian Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of:

(i)    any Canadian Letter of Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance;

(ii)    any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any such Canadian Letter of Credit Related Person in connection with any Canadian Letter of Credit;

(iii)    any action or proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, any Canadian Letter of Credit (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any Canadian Letter of Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of, or honoring a presentation under, any Canadian Letter of Credit;

- 133 -

(iv)    any independent undertakings issued by the beneficiary of any Canadian Letter of Credit;

(v)    any unauthorized instruction or request made to the Canadian Issuing Bank in connection with any Canadian Letter of Credit or requested Canadian Letter of Credit or error in computer or electronic transmission;

(vi)    an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated;

(vii)    any third party seeking to enforce the rights of an applicant, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of Canadian Letter of Credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document;

(viii)    the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the Canadian Letter of Credit Related Person;

(ix)    the Canadian Issuing Bank’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation; or

(x)    the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental or regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of the Canadian Letter of Credit Related Person;

in each case, including that resulting from the Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification under clauses (i) through (x) above to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity on demand from time to time all amounts owing under this Section 2.11(f). If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.11(f) are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers agree to make the maximum contribution to the Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs permissible under applicable law. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

(g)    The liability of the Canadian Issuing Bank (or any other Canadian Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or arising out of any Canadian Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by the Canadian Borrowers that are caused directly by the Canadian Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Canadian Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Canadian Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Canadian Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Canadian Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Canadian Letter of Credit. The Canadian Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if the

- 134 -

Canadian Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement. The Canadian Borrowers’ aggregate remedies against the Canadian Issuing Bank and any Canadian Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Canadian Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by the Canadian Borrowers to the Canadian Issuing Bank in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under Section 2.11(d), plus interest at the rate then applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans with respect to Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars and Canadian Base Rate Loans with respect to Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Canadian Borrowers shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against the Canadian Issuing Bank or any other Canadian Letter of Credit Related Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the Canadian Letters of Credit. Any claim by the Canadian Borrowers under or in connection with any Canadian Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by the Canadian Borrowers as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of; and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had the Canadian Borrowers taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing the Canadian Issuing Bank to effect a cure.

(h)    The Canadian Borrowers are responsible for preparing or approving the final text of the Canadian Letter of Credit as issued by the Canadian Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance the Canadian Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by the Canadian Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by the Canadian Borrowers. The Canadian Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of the Canadian Letter of Credit for the Canadian Borrowers’ purposes. With respect to any Canadian Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Canadian Letter of Credit, the Canadian Issuing Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Canadian Letter of Credit and, if the Canadian Borrowers do not at any time want such Canadian Letter of Credit to be renewed, the Canadian Borrowers will so notify the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Issuing Bank at least 15 calendar days before the Canadian Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such Canadian Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such Canadian Letter of Credit.

(i)    The Canadian Borrowers’ reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 2.11 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including:

(i)    any lack of validity, enforceability or legal effect of any Canadian Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein;

(ii)    payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document that does not comply in whole or in part with the terms of the applicable Canadian Letter of Credit or which proves to be fraudulent, forged or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Canadian Letter of Credit;

- 135 -

(iii)    The Canadian Issuing Bank or any of its branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of any Canadian Letter of Credit;

(iv)    The Canadian Issuing Bank or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Canadian Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Canadian Letter of Credit;

(v)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, the Canadian Issuing Bank or any other Person;

(vi)    any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 2.11(i), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, any Canadian Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any Canadian Letter of Credit, whether against the Canadian Issuing Bank, the beneficiary or any other Person; or

(vii)    the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, however, that subject to Section 2.11(g) above, the foregoing shall not release the Canadian Issuing Bank from such liability to the Canadian Borrowers as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against the Canadian Issuing Bank following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of the Canadian Borrowers to the Canadian Issuing Bank arising under, or in connection with, this Section 2.11 or any Canadian Letter of Credit.

(j)    Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the Canadian Issuing Bank and each other Canadian Letter of Credit Related Person (if applicable) shall not be responsible to the Canadian Borrowers for, and the Canadian Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Canadian Borrowers and the obligation of the Canadian Borrowers to reimburse the Canadian Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Canadian Letter of Credit shall not be impaired by:

(i)    honor of a presentation under any Canadian Letter of Credit that on its face substantially complies with the terms and conditions of such Canadian Letter of Credit, even if the Canadian Letter of Credit requires strict compliance by the beneficiary;

(ii)    honor of a presentation of any Drawing Document that appears on its face to have been signed, presented or issued (A) by any purported successor or transferee of any beneficiary or other Person required to sign, present or issue such Drawing Document or (B) under a new name of the beneficiary;

(iii)    acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or request for payment under a Canadian Letter of Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft or notwithstanding any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Canadian Letter of Credit;

(v)    acting upon any instruction or request relative to a Canadian Letter of Credit or requested Canadian Letter of Credit that the Canadian Issuing Bank in good faith believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction or request;

(xii)    dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply or that is fraudulent, forged or otherwise not entitled to honor; or

(xiii)    honor of a presentation that is subsequently determined by the Canadian Issuing Bank to have been made in violation of international, federal, state or local restrictions on the transaction of business with certain prohibited Persons.

(k)    The Canadian Borrowers shall pay immediately upon demand to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Issuing Bank as non-refundable fees, commissions, and charges (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such fees, commissions, and charges to the Canadian Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6(d) shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this Section 2.11(k)): (i) a fronting fee which shall be imposed by the Canadian Issuing Bank upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit of .125% per annum of the face amount thereof, plus (ii) any and all other customary commissions, fees and charges then in effect imposed by, and any and all expenses incurred by, the Canadian Issuing Bank, or by any adviser, confirming institution or entity or other nominated person, relating to Canadian Letters of Credit, at the time of issuance of any Canadian Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Canadian Letter of Credit (including transfers, assignments of proceeds, amendments, drawings, renewals or cancellations).

(l)    If by reason of (x) any Change in Law, or (y) compliance by the Canadian Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Board of Governors as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

(ii)    there shall be imposed on the Canadian Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group any other condition regarding any Canadian Letter of Credit,

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Canadian Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group of issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any Canadian Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, the Administrative Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify the Canadian Borrowers, and the Canadian Borrowers shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as the Administrative Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Canadian Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans hereunder; provided, that (A) the Canadian Borrowers shall not be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11(l) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to the Canadian Borrowers, and (B) if an event or circumstance

- 138 -

(o)    This Section 2.11 shall not apply to any increased costs or reduction of the rate of return on capital attributable to Taxes.

(p)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon receipt of a request for a Canadian Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.11, Xxxxx Fargo, in its capacity as a Canadian Issuing Bank hereunder, may elect to cause an Underlying Issuer to issue an Underlying Letter of Credit on the terms requested by the Canadian Borrowers (subject, in any event, to the conditions to the issuance of Canadian Letters of Credit set forth herein). In connection with any Underlying Letter of Credit, Xxxxx Fargo agrees that it will enter into arrangements relative to the reimbursement of such Underlying Issuer which arrangements may include, among other means, becoming an applicant with respect to such Underlying Letter of Credit or entering into undertakings which provide for reimbursements of such Underlying Issuer with respect to such Underlying Letter of Credit (each such obligation or undertaking, irrespective of whether in writing, a “Reimbursement Undertaking”) with respect such Underlying Letter of Credit. By submitting a request to Xxxxx Fargo for the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit, the Canadian Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that Xxxxx Fargo, at its election, (x) issue the requested Canadian Letter of Credit or (y) (A) cause an Underlying Issuer to issue an Underlying Letter of Credit on terms consistent with the Canadian Letter of Credit so requested, and (B) issue a Reimbursement Undertaking with respect to such Underlying Letter of Credit. In connection with any Underlying Letter of Credit, each reference to the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit set forth herein shall be deemed to refer to the issuance of a Reimbursement Undertaking by Xxxxx Fargo. Xxxxx Fargo, in its capacity as issuer of a Reimbursement Undertaking, shall have all of the rights of, and shall be deemed to be, a Canadian Issuing Bank for all purposes under this Agreement and each reference to a Letter of Credit or Canadian Letter of Credit hereunder shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be deemed to include all Reimbursement Undertakings including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating the Canadian Letter of Credit Fee, Canadian Letter of Credit Usage and Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure. It is expressly understood and agreed that (x) no Underlying Issuer constitutes an

- 139 -

Issuing Bank or Lender hereunder and that no Underlying Issuer shall have any rights hereunder, and (y) the Underlying Letters of Credit do not constitute Letters of Credit hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxx Fargo shall have no obligation to arrange for an Underlying Letter of Credit and issue a Reimbursement Undertaking hereunder if it would not be obligated to issue a Canadian Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.11.

2.12    Interest Rate Election for Contract Rate Loans.

(a)    Interest Rate Election.

(i)    Each Advance initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable request for Advance made in accordance with Section 2.2(a) and, if applicable, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Advance request. Thereafter, any Borrower may elect to convert such Advance to a different Type (to the extent available for the Type of Advance) or to continue such Advance and, in the case of an Advance of Contract Rate Loans of any Type, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided herein. Any Borrower (or the Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower) may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Advance, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Advance. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans or Special Advances, which may not be so converted or continued. Interest on Contract Rate Loans (including LIBOR Rate Loans and BA Rate Loans as described above) shall be payable on the Interest Payment applicable thereto.

(ii)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, any Borrower (or the Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such election by the time that an Advance request would be required under Section 2.2 if any Borrower (or the Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower) was requesting an Advance of Loans of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable. At the Administrative Agent’s election, in lieu of giving an Interest Election Request in writing, any Responsible Officer may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of such Interest Election Request. In such circumstance, any Borrower (or the Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower) agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of such request.

(iii)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information:

(A)    the Advance to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Advance (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Advance);

- 140 -

(B)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(C)    the Applicable Currency for the requested Advance and whether the requested Advance is a U.S. Advance or a Canadian Advance; and

(D)    if the resulting Advance is comprised of Contract Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests an Advance of Contract Rate Loans, but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Appropriate Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration (or 30 days’ duration in the case of BA Rate Loans).

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

(v)    If any Borrower (or the Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower) fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Contract Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless, such Advance is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, (i) if such Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan for the account of the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrowers, such Loan shall be converted to a U.S. Base Rate Loan or a Canadian Base Rate Loan, as applicable, (ii) if such Loan is a BA Rate Loan, such Loan shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, and (iii) if such Loan is any other Type of Contract Rate Loan, such Loan shall be converted (or continued, as applicable) into a Loan of the same Type with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then (A) no outstanding Advance of LIBOR Rate Loans for the account of the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrowers may be converted to or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans, (B) no Advance denominated in U.S. Dollars for the account of the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrowers may be made as LIBOR Rate Loans, (C) no outstanding Advance of BA Rate Loans for the account of the Canadian Borrowers may be converted to or continued as BA Rate Loans, (D) no Advance denominated in Canadian Dollars for the account of the Canadian Borrowers may be made as BA Rate Loans, and (D) unless repaid, (1) each LIBOR Rate Loan for the account of the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrowers shall be converted to a U.S. Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan, as applicable, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (2) each BA Rate Loan shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan as the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (3) each other Contract Rate Loan shall be continued as a Loan of the same Type with an Interest Period of one month.

- 141 -

(vi)    Unless the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise, the Borrowers shall have not more than 10 Contract Rate Loans of any Type in effect under the U.S. Facility and 5 Contract Rate Loans of any Type in effect under the Canadian Facility at any given time. The Borrowers only may make an Interest Election Request for any proposed Contract Rate Loan of at least $1,000,000 or Cdn$1,000,000, as applicable.

(b)    Conversion. The Borrowers may convert Contract Rate Loans at any time; provided, that in the event that Contract Rate Loans are converted or prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any prepayment through the required application by the Administrative Agent of any payments or proceeds of Collateral in accordance with Section 2.3(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Finance Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, the Borrowers shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.12(a)(vi).

(c)    Special Provisions Applicable to Contract Rates.

(i)    Each Contract Rate may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law (other than changes in laws relative to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16) occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the applicable Contract Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, the Borrower Representative may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to the Borrower Representative a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for adjusting such Contract Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the Contract Rate Loans of such Lender with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.11(a)(vi)).

(ii)    In the event that any change in market conditions or any Change in Law shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain Contract Rate Loans of any Type or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at any Contract Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any applicable Contract Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such Contract Rate Loans, and interest upon the Contract Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall

- 142 -

accrue interest (A) at the rate then applicable to (1) U.S. Base Rate Loans (in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans for the account of the U.S. Borrowers), (2) Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans for the account of the Canadian Borrowers), or (3) Canadian Prime Rate Loans (in the case of BA Rate Loans), or (B) such alternative rate of interest as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (in the case of any other Contract Rate Loans), and (z) the Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect to borrow Contract Rate Loans or convert other Loans into Contract Rate Loans until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.

(d)    No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Finance Obligation as to which interest accrues at any Contract Rate.

2.13    Capital Requirements.

(a)    If, after the date hereof, any Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital or liquidity requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation, implementation, or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Issuing Bank or such Lender or their respective parent bank holding companies with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s or such holding companies’ capital as a consequence of such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Issuing Bank or such Lender or such holding companies could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s or such holding companies’ then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Issuing Bank or such Lender to be material, then Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, may notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, the Borrowers agree to pay such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Issuing Bank or such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Issuing Bank or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that (i) the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Issuing Bank or any Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Issuing Bank or such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then

- 143 -

the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, and (ii) no Borrower shall be required to compensate any Issuing Bank or any Lender pursuant to this clause (a) to the extent Issuing Bank or such Lender has been adequately compensated for any such reduction or increased cost.

(b)    The Borrowers shall, upon demand from any member of the Lender Group, pay to such Person, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by such Person, (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to such Person, (iii) any interest or any other return, including principal, foregone by such Person as a result of the introduction of, change over to or operation of the Canadian Dollar or the Euro, or (iv) any currency exchange loss that such Person sustains, in each case of clauses (i) through (iv), as a result of any payment being made by any Borrower in a currency other than that originally extended to such Borrower. A certificate of the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such member of the Lender Group or shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the (i) issuance of any rules, regulations or directions under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) all rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith after the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a change in law, rule, regulation or guideline for purposes of Section 2.12 and Section 2.13 and the protection of Section 2.12 and Section 2.13 shall be available to each Lender and each Issuing Bank (as applicable) regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, judicial ruling, judgment, guideline, treaty or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for lenders or the Issuing Banks affected thereby to comply therewith. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.

(d)    This Section 2.13 shall not apply to any increased costs or reduction of the rate of return on capital attributable to Taxes.

2.14    Currencies. The U.S. Advances and other U.S. Finance Obligations (unless such other U.S. Finance Obligations expressly provide otherwise) shall be made and repaid in U.S. Dollars or Euros. The Canadian Advances and other Canadian Finance Obligations (unless such other Canadian Finance Obligations expressly provide otherwise) shall be made and repaid in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars. All Finance Obligations denominated in an Applicable Currency shall be repaid in such Applicable Currency.

(ii)    Each U.S. Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety and guarantor but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other U.S. Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the U.S. Finance Obligations (including any U.S. Finance Obligations arising under this Section 2.15(a)), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the U.S. Finance Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each the U.S. Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

(iii)    If and to the extent that any U.S. Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the U.S. Finance Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the U.S. Finance Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other U.S. Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such U.S. Finance Obligation until such time as all of the U.S. Finance Obligations are paid in full.

(iv)    The obligations of each U.S. Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.15(a) constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each U.S. Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement (other than this Section 2.15(a)(iv)) or any other circumstances whatsoever.

- 145 -

release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the U.S. Finance Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any U.S. Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each U.S. Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any the Administrative Agent or U.S. Revolving Lender with respect to the failure by any U.S. Borrower to comply with any of its respective obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.15(a) afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.15(a), it being the intention of each U.S. Borrower that, so long as any of the U.S. Finance Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of each U.S. Borrower under this Section 2.15(a) shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each U.S. Borrower under this Section 2.15(a) shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any U.S. Revolving Lender.

(ix)    Each Canadian Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Canadian Borrower will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Canadian Borrower owing to such Canadian Borrower until the Canadian Finance Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Canadian Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Canadian Borrower as trustee for the Administrative Agent, and such Canadian Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to the Administrative Agent for application to the Canadian Finance Obligations in accordance with Section 2.3(b).

2.16    Reserved.

2.17    Circumstances Affecting Euro Availability. In connection with any request for an Advance denominated in Euro (“Euro Extensions”) or a continuation or extension thereof, if the introduction of, or any change in, any Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any U.S. Revolving Lender (or the applicable lending office of such U.S. Revolving Lender) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency or any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any U.S. Revolving Lender (or any of their applicable lending office) to honor its obligations to make or maintain any Euro Extensions, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the other U.S. Revolving Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of such U.S. Revolving Lender to make Euro Extensions or any continuation or extension thereof, as applicable, shall be suspended until such U.S. Revolving Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so, provided, that the U.S. Borrowers shall continue to be entitled to make elections for Euro Extensions from any other U.S. Revolving Lenders; and the U.S. Borrowers shall either (i) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of such Euro Extensions, together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro Extensions, or (ii) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Euro Extensions to a U.S. Advance denominated in U.S. Dollars; provided, that if the U.S. Borrowers elect to make such conversion, the U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Revolving Lenders any and all costs, fees and other expenses, if any, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Revolving Lenders in effecting such conversion.

2.18    Taxes.

(a)    All payments made by the Loan Parties under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, including any penalties, interest and additional amounts with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), excluding (i) net income Taxes and franchise taxes (which franchise taxes are imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (ii) branch profits taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i) above, (iii) United States or Canadian withholding Taxes to the extent imposed on amounts payable to any Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment, if any) to receive additional amounts from the Loan Parties with respect to such Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a), (iv) Taxes that are attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d), (e) or (g) of this Xxxxxxx 0.00, (x) Xxxxxx Xxxxxx federal withholding Taxes imposed by sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as in existence on the date of this Agreement (and any amended or successor versions of such provisions that are substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations thereunder and official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or official practices adopted pursuant to any published intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (“FATCA”), (vi) any Taxes under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as in existence on the date of this Agreement (and any amended or successor versions of such provisions that are substantially comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) (the “Tax Act”) on, or deducted or withheld from, any payments or deemed payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by reason of it being a Person with whom any Loan Party does not deal at arm’s length for the purposes of the Tax Act at the time of making such payment or by reason of any Loan Party being obligated to make any payments to any such Person in respect of a Loan, and (vii) any Taxes on, or deducted or withheld from, any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by reason of such payment (or any portion thereof) being deemed to be a dividend pursuant to subsection 214(16) of the Tax Act or deemed to have been paid pursuant to subsection 214(17) of the Tax Act (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, the “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within ten Business Days after written demand therefor (which written demand shall be made no later than 60 days after the earlier of (1) the date on which the Administrative Agent or the

- 151 -

applicable Lender, as the case may be, received written demand for payment of the applicable Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes from the relevant Governmental Authority or (2) the date on which the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, paid the applicable Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, to make such written demand shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, to demand indemnity and reimbursement for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, except to the extent that such failure or delay results in prejudice to the Loan Parties), for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.18) paid by such Person and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate stating the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Statements payable by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be submitted to the Borrower Representative at the address specified under Section 10.2.

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

(c)    Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Loan Parties, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower Representative shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Loan Parties showing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)    The Administrative Agent and each Lender (or Assignee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two original copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. 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 E-1 and a Form W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two executed original copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN-E, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable (in each case, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto); provided, further, that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming exemption from U.S.

- 152 -

federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner). The Administrative Agent and any Lender (or Assignee) that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two original copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Person claiming complete exemption from backup withholding on all payments by the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The forms and certification referenced in the previous two sentences (the “Forms”) shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent and each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall deliver the Forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any Forms previously delivered by the Administrative Agent and such Lender and upon the written request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered Form to the Borrower Representative (or any other form or certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall not be required to deliver any Form pursuant to this paragraph (d) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e)    The Administrative Agent and each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s judgment, as applicable, such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

(f)    If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which the Loan Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over such refund to the Loan Parties (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no

- 153 -

event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Loan Parties pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower Representative or any other Person.

(g)    If a payment made to the Administrative Agent or a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Administrative Agent and such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(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.

(i)    For purposes of this Section 2.18, the term Lender shall include each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.

2.19    Indemnity. In connection with each Contract Rate Loan under any Facility, the Appropriate Borrowers shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and the Appropriate Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Appropriate Lender as a result of (A) the payment of any principal of any Contract Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any Contract Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Contract Rate Loan on the date specified in any Interest Election Request received by the Administrative Agent delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender delivered to the Borrower Representative setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be

- 154 -

conclusive absent manifest error. The Appropriate Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. If a payment of a Contract Rate Loan under any Facility on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a Funding Loss, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion at the request of the Borrower Representative, hold the amount of such payment as cash collateral in support of the Finance Obligations under such Facility until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such amounts to the payment of the applicable Contract Rate Loan on such last day, it being agreed that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to so defer the application of payments to any Contract Rate Loan and that, in the event that the Administrative Agent does not defer such application, the Appropriate Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any resulting Funding Losses.

2.20    Lending Office.

(a)    Designation of Lending Office. Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected in Section 2.13, one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates or branches of the respective Lender) for the various Loans made, and Letters of Credit issued or participated in, by such Lender (including by designating a separate lending office (or branch or Affiliate) to act as such with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Applicable Currencies other than U.S. Dollars; provided, that, for designations made after the Closing Date, to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 2.13 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs which would apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Each lending office and branch or Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such, subject to all of the requirements and limitations herein). Xxxxx Fargo hereby designates Xxxxx Fargo London as its lending office for U.S. Advances denominated in Euros made by Xxxxx Fargo.

(b)    Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(l), 2.11(l), 2.12(c)(ii), 2.13(a) or 2.18(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower Representative, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(l), 2.11(l), 2.12(c)(ii), 2.13(a) or 2.18(a).

- 155 -

2.21    Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower Representative shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10(l), 2.11(l), 2.12(c)(ii), 2.13(a) or 2.18(a), (or with respect to which the Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments pursuant to such sections), (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder or (c) has not consented to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 10.1 that requires the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders under a particular Facility or each Lender affected thereby and which has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 10.1, with a Lender or Eligible Assignee; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) in the case of clause (a), prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.20 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10(l), 2.11(l), 2.12(c)(ii), 2.13(a) or 2.18(a), (iii) the replacement financial institution or other Eligible Assignee shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts (or, in the case of clause (c) as it relates to provisions affecting a particular Facility, Loans or other amounts owing under such Facility) owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the relevant Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.19 if any Contract Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement financial institution or other Eligible Assignee, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be deemed to have made such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the relevant Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.10(l), 2.11(l), 2.12(c)(ii), 2.13(a) or 2.18(a), as the case may be, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Upon any such assignment, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof (or, in the case of clause (c) as it relates to provisions affecting a particular Facility, a Lender under such Facility); provided that any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such replaced Lender. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Borrower agrees that in connection with the replacement of a Lender and upon payment to such replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid under this Section 2.21, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be authorized, without the need for additional consent from such replaced Lender, to execute an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers and, to the extent required under Section 10.6, the Borrowers and the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.21 and Section 10.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.21, in the event that a Lender that holds Loans or Commitments under more than one Facility does not agree to a proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver which requires the consent of all Lenders under a particular Facility, the Borrower Representative shall be permitted to replace the non-consenting Lender with respect to the affected Facility and may, but shall not be required to, replace such Lender with respect to any unaffected Facilities.

2.22    Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the relevant Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) (promptly after the Borrower Representative’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Loans.

- 156 -

2.23    Incremental Commitments.

(a)    The Borrower Representative may, at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more increases in the amount of the Commitments (each such increase, a “Commitment Increase” and any Lender making such a commitment, an “Incremental Lender”), which may be allocated to the Maximum U.S. Credit Amount and/or the Maximum Canadian Credit Amount at the discretion of the Borrower Representative upon notice to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(i)    after giving effect to any such Commitment Increase, the aggregate amount of Commitment Increases shall not exceed an amount equal to $100,000,000;

(ii)    extensions of credit or other obligations of the Loan Parties under any Commitment Increase shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other extensions of credit and obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder;

(iii)    Commitments under any Commitment Increase shall not terminate, and amounts advanced under any Commitment Increase shall not mature, earlier than the Revolving Termination Date;

(iv)    all Commitments under any Commitment Increase (and extensions of credit thereunder) shall be subject to the terms and conditions (other than fees) applicable to Advances, Loans, Letters of Credit and Commitments hereunder; and

(v)    no Default or Event of Default (or, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, no Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(g)) shall exist on the Incremental Closing Date with respect to any Incremental Amendment entered into in connection therewith (and after giving effect to any Advances made thereunder).

(b)    Each notice from the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.23(a) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Commitment Increase. All fees applicable to a Commitment Increase shall be determined by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders participating in such Commitment Increase.

(c)    Commitment Increases may be provided by any existing Lender or any Additional Lender (provided that no Lender shall be obligated to provide a portion of any Commitment Increase without such Lender’s prior written consent and nothing in this Section 2.23 shall constitute a commitment by any Lender to provide a portion of any such Commitment Increase), in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.23; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s providing such Commitment

- 157 -

Increases if such consent would be required under Section 10.6(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender; provided, further, that the Issuing Banks shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any Commitment Increase provided by any Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Commitment Increases shall become Commitments, U.S. Revolving Commitments and/or Canadian Revolving Commitments, as applicable (or in the case of a Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender, an increase in such Lender’s Commitment, U.S. Revolving Commitment and/or Canadian Revolving Commitment, as applicable), under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the relevant Borrowers, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be (unless waived by the Additional Lender) subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood that all references to the date of such extension of credit or similar language in Section 4.2 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Closing Date) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree (the effective date of any such Incremental Amendment, an “Incremental Closing Date”). U.S. Advances, Canadian Advances, U.S. Letters of Credit and Canadian Letters of Credit provided under any Commitment Increase shall constitute “U.S. Advances,” “Canadian Advances,” “U.S. Letters of Credit” and “Canadian Letters of Credit” hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(d)    Upon each increase in Revolving Commitments under a Facility pursuant to this Section, each Revolving Lender under such Facility immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Commitment Increase (each a “Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each such Revolving Lender (including each such Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders represented by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and if, on the date of such increase, there are any Advances outstanding, such Advances shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase either be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Advances made hereunder or assigned to a Commitment Increase Lender (in each case, reflecting such increase in Commitments, such that Advances are held ratably in accordance with each Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share, after giving effect to such increase), which prepayment or assignment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Advances being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.19. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

- 158 -

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 2.23 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.1 to the contrary.

2.24    Extension Offers.

(a)    The Borrower Representative may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) to all the Lenders under one or more Facilities on the same terms to each such Lender (each Class subject to such an Extension Offer, a “Specified Class”) to extend the Revolving Termination Date as to such Specified Class pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower Representative; provided that (i) any such offer shall be made by the Borrower Representative to all Lenders with Commitments with a like Revolving Termination Date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding amount of the applicable Commitments), (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of any such offer, (iii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower Representative and (iv) the relevant Issuing Bank and the relevant Swingline Lender shall have approved such Permitted Extension. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Extension and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Extension is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than five Business Days nor more than 45 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (x) assignments and participations of Specified Classes shall be governed by the same or, at the Borrower Representative’s discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions than those set forth in Section 10.6, and (y) no termination of Commitments of the Specified Classes shall be permitted unless such termination is accompanied by an at least pro rata termination of all earlier maturing Commitments (including previously extended Commitments) (or all earlier maturing Commitments (including previously extended Commitments) shall otherwise be or have been terminated and all underlying Finance Obligations repaid in full (or Collateralized, as applicable)). Permitted Extensions shall become effective only with respect to the Commitments of the Lenders of the Specified Class that accept the applicable Extension Offer (such Lenders, the “Extending Lenders”) and, in the case of any Extending Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Specified Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. No Lender shall have any obligation to accept any Extension Offer.

(c)    Subject to Section 2.24(b), the Borrower Representative may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension Agreement that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower Representative’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower Representative) of Commitments of any or all applicable Classes be extended.

(d)    For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable

- 190 -

U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced.

(3)    such Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity no earlier than the final scheduled maturity date of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired; and

7.4    No Subrogation.

- 210 -

7.6    Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the Guarantee constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or the Administrative 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.

7.7    Continuing Guarantee. Each Guarantee is a continuing guarantee of payment and shall apply to relevant Guarantor Obligations whenever arising.

7.8    General Limitation on Guarantor Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any federal, state, provincial or territorial, 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 7.1 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 7.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability of such Guarantor shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 8.10) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. To effectuate the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantor Obligations of each Guarantor in respect of the relevant Guarantee at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guarantor Obligations of such Guarantor with respect thereto hereof not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance after giving full effect to the liability under such Guarantee and its related contribution rights but before taking into account any liabilities under any other guarantee by such Guarantor. For purposes of the foregoing, all guarantees of such Guarantor other than the relevant Guarantee will be deemed to be enforceable and payable after such Guarantee. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this Section 8.8 shall be for the benefit solely of creditors and representatives of creditors of each Guarantor and not for the benefit of such Guarantor or the holders of any Equity Interest in such Guarantor.

7.9    Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. Any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person other than a Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement; provided that the Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five (5) days, or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree, prior to the date of the release, a written notice of such for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, together with a certification by the Borrower Representative stating that such transaction is in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

- 211 -

In connection with any such release of any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower Representative, at the Borrower Representative’s expense, all UCC termination statements and other documents that the Borrower Representative shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

7.10    Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other relevant Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.4. The provisions of this Section 7.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other relevant Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other relevant Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Excluded ECP Guarantor shall have any obligations or liabilities to any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect to Excluded Swap Obligations.

7.11    Keepwell. Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under its relevant Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations; provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.11, or otherwise under its Guarantee, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 7.11 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination and release of all Finance Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.11 constitute, and this Section 7.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

8.2    Action in Event of Default.

(a)    Upon any Event of Default specified in (x) Section 8.1(g)(i) or (ii), the Commitments shall immediately terminate automatically and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Finance Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of Letters of Credit, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall automatically immediately become due and payable, and (y) if any other Event of Default under Section 8.1 (other than Section 8.1(g)(i) or (ii)) occurs and is continuing, subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 8.2, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower Representative declare the Revolving Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon such Commitments shall

immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower Representative, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Finance Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of Letters of Credit, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders the Administrative Agent shall, exercise any and all other remedies available under the Loan Documents at law or in equity, including commencing and prosecuting any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction and collecting the Collateral or any portion thereof and enforcing any other right in respect of any Collateral.

8.3    Right to Cure.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8, in the event that the Company fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 8.3, would fail) to comply with the requirements of Section 6.1, the Company and Holdings shall have the right from (x) the date of commencement of a Financial Covenant Trigger Period at any time the Company is not in compliance with Section 6.1 as reflected in the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate or (y) the date of delivery of a Compliance Certificate during a Financial Covenant Trigger Period demonstrating that the Company is not in compliance with Section 6.1, in each case until ten (10) days thereafter, to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash equity contributions to the capital of Holdings, and, in each case, to contribute any such cash to the capital of the Company (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Company of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Company or Holdings of such Cure Right, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be recalculated by increasing Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purpose of measuring the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to determine compliance with Section 6.1 and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount (any Cure Amount so included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, a “Specified Equity Contribution”).

- 216 -

(b)    If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation, the Company shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.1, then the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 6.1 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 6.1 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of compliance with Section 6.1 and for no other purpose.

(c)    To the extent a Test Period ended for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was initially recalculated as a result of a Cure Right, the Cure Amount shall be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for the purposes of determining compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio at the end of such Test Period and each quarterly Test Period ending within 11 months (or three fiscal quarters, as applicable) following the end of such Test Period.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four-fiscal-quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) for purposes of this Section 8.3, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Company to comply with Section 6.1, determined at the time the Cure Right is exercised with respect to the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was initially recalculated as a result of a Cure Right, (iii) the Cure Amount shall be disregarded for all other purposes of this Agreement, including, determining any baskets with respect to the covenants contained in Section 6, and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts other than the amount of Consolidated EBITDA as described in clause (a) above, and (iv) the Company or Holdings shall not exercise the Cure Right in excess of five instances over the term of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.    ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1    Appointment and Authority.

(a)    Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxx Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except to the extent that any Group Member has any express rights under this Section 9, no Group Member shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b)    Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Bank Product Provider) and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Banks for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Finance Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent

- 217 -

pursuant to Section 9.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by the Administrative Agent or any of its co-agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact shall bind the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, any Bank Product Agreement (including, in each case, the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or a sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Laws, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Finance Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale.

(c)    Without limiting the generality of paragraph (b) above, for the purposes of creating a solidarité active in accordance with Article 1541 of the Civil Code, between each Secured Party, taken individually, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, each Loan Party, each such Secured Party and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree with the Administrative Agent that each such Secured Party and the Administrative Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of each Loan Party in respect of all Finance Obligations, present and future, owed by each such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent and each such Secured Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Solidary Claim”). Each Loan Party which is not a signatory of this Agreement but is or may become a signatory to any other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have accepted the provisions contained in this paragraph by its execution of such other Loan Documents. Accordingly, but subject (for the avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code, each such Loan Party is irrevocably bound towards the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party in respect of the entire Solidary Claim of the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party. As a result of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Solidary Claim of the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party and the right to give full acquittance for same. The

- 218 -

parties further agree and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral under the Security Documents shall be granted to the Administrative Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth.

(d)    In addition, and without limiting any of the foregoing, for the purposes of holding any security granted by any Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of any title of Indebtedness (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) issued by any Loan Party, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Administrative Agent, to act as the person holding the power of attorney (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) of the Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment and authorization to act as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent for and on behalf of the Secured Parties to hold and be the sole registered holder of any title of Indebtedness (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) which may be issued under any hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable law, and to execute all related documents. The Attorney shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney and the Custodian (as applicable) pursuant to any hypothec, bond, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured Parties, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec, bond, or pledge on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Attorney as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity. The substitution of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 shall also constitute the substitution of the Attorney.

9.2    Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

- 219 -

9.3    Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law;

(c)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d)    shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.1 and Section 8.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.

(e)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

9.4    Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have

- 220 -

been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.

9.6    Resignation and Removal of Administrative Agent.

(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Borrower Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld, for so long as no Event of Default set forth under Section 8.1(a) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

- 221 -

(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed), all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Banks directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower Representative and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(d)    Any resignation by Xxxxx Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as a U.S. Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. If Xxxxx Fargo resigns as a U.S. Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of a U.S. Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all U.S. Letters of Credit issued by it which are outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as a U.S. Issuing Bank and all U.S. Letters of Credit with respect thereto, including the right to require the U.S. Lenders to make U.S. Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts in connection with U.S. Letters of Credit. If Xxxxx Fargo resigns as the Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of

- 222 -

the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans. Upon the appointment by the Borrower Representative of any successor Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by the retiring Issuing Bank which are outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.7    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.8    No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Administrative Agent, Joint Bookrunners, Joint Lead Arrangers, Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

9.9    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letters of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letters of Credit and all other Finance Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.5(c), 2.7 and 10.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

permitted under this Agreement and any such intercreditor agreement is binding upon the Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Security Document, no Bank Product Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 8.4, any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guarantee or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Bank Product Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Bank Product Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Bank Product Provider.

9.12    Withholding Tax Indemnity. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to Sections 2.15 and 2.18 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.12. The agreements in this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Finance Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 9.12, include any Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.

9.13    Indemnification. Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers (and their Related Parties) in their respective capacities as such (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), according to its Pro Rata Share in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.13 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share immediately prior to such date), from and against any

- 226 -

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) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or their Related Parties (the foregoing, the “Lender Indemnitees”) 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 the Administrative Agent or any other Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Lender Indemnitee for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent that they are (i) (A) found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lender Indemnitee, (B) found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Lender Indemnitee, or (C) are disputes that do not involve an act or omission by Holdings or any of its Affiliates and that are brought by any Lender Indemnitee against any other Lender Indemnitee (other than in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Joint Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank or similar role hereunder) or (ii) settlements entered into by such person without such Lender’s written consent (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The agreements in this Section 9.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(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 an 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 each Lender and the Administrative Agent (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).

(b)     Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:

(i)    the Borrower Representative; provided that such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower Representative, as the case may be, has not responded within ten Business Days after notice by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) (or, in respect of any of the Borrowers, Section 8.1(f) or (g)) has occurred and is continuing;

(A)    except with respect to an assignment of Loans to an existing Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the Administrative Agent; and

(B)    the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank for the Facility under which the Loans or Commitments are being assigned.

(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments 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 $1,000,000 (provided that, in each case, that simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of determining such amount) unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative otherwise consent;

(B)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement

- 234 -

system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent);

(C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire and applicable Forms; and

(D)    each Assignee shall have an equal proportionate share, either directly or through an Affiliate or branch, of US Revolving Commitments and Canadian Revolving Commitments.

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.18, 2.19 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations if such transaction complies with the requirements of Section 10.6(c).

(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of (and any stated interest on) the Loans and each Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed

- 235 -

administrative questionnaire and applicable Forms (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), together with (x) any processing and recordation fee and (y) any written consent to such assignment required by Section 10.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly 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.

(c)     Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires, subject to Section 10.1(b), the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clauses (A) and (C) of Section 10.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.6(c)(ii), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.18 and 2.19 (subject to the requirements of those sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the commitment of, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of, each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letters of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the IRS. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(i)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless such Participant complies with Sections 2.18(d), 2.18(e) and 2.18(g).

(d)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, 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.

(e)    The Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice to the Borrower Representative from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 10.6(d) above.

(f)    Each Lender, upon succeeding to an interest in Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption that it is an Eligible Assignee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Lender is permitted to assign any portion of its Commitment (and outstanding Loans and other exposure (if applicable)) under any Facility unless such Lender (together with any office, branch, subsidiary or Affiliate thereof holding a Commitment hereunder) also assigns a ratable amount of its or their Commitment (and outstanding Loans and other exposure (if applicable)) in each other Facility then in existence.

10.7    Adjustments; Set-off.

(a)    Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for or permits payments to be allocated or made to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Finance Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(g) or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Finance Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Finance Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, without prior

- 237 -

notice to the Borrower Representative, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower Representative to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to set off and appropriate and apply against the Finance Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrowers or any such other Loan Party, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8    Counterparts; Electronic Execution.

(a)    This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith by facsimile transmission or electronic PDF shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other document or instrument, as applicable. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent.

(b)    The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

10.9    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10    Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Joint Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent represent the entire agreement of Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

- 238 -

10.11    Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN IN REGARD TO THE VALIDITY, PERFECTION OR EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF ANY LIEN OR IN REGARD TO PROCEDURAL MATTERS AFFECTING ENFORCEMENT OF ANY LIENS IN COLLATERAL, SUCH LAWS OF SUCH OTHER JURISDICTIONS SHALL CONTINUE TO APPLY TO THAT EXTENT.

(d)    agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

(e)    waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages against any Indemnitee;

10.16    Waivers Of Jury Trial. EACH OF HOLDINGS, THE BORROWERS, THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

10.17    USA Patriot Act Notification. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if the Administrative Agent is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and each Loan Party agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute expenses payable pursuant to Section 10.5 and be for the account of Loan Parties.

10.18    Maximum Amount.

(a)    It is the intention of the Borrowers and the Lenders to conform strictly to the usury and similar laws (including the criminal rate provisions of the Criminal Code (Canada)) relating to interest from time to time in force, and all agreements between the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid in the aggregate to the Lenders as interest (whether or not designated as interest, and including any amount otherwise designated but deemed to constitute interest by a court of competent jurisdiction) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement given to secure the Indebtedness evidenced hereby or other Finance Obligations of the Borrowers, or in any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the Indebtedness evidenced hereby, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable usury or such other laws (the “Maximum Amount”). If under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, or any of the other Loan Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the Maximum Amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the Maximum Amount. For the purposes of calculating the actual amount of interest paid and/or payable hereunder in respect of laws pertaining to usury or such other laws, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the

- 241 -

Indebtedness of the Borrowers evidenced hereby, outstanding from time to time shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, pro-rated, allocated and spread from the date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Notes until payment in full of all of such Indebtedness, so that the actual rate of interest on account of such Indebtedness is uniform through the term hereof. The terms and provisions of this Section 10.18(a) shall control and supersede every other provision of all agreements between the Borrowers or any endorser of the Notes and the Lenders.

(b)    If under any circumstances any Lender shall ever receive an amount which would exceed the Maximum Amount, such amount shall be deemed a payment in reduction of the principal amount of the Loans and shall be treated as a voluntary prepayment under Section 2.3 and shall be so applied in accordance therewith or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the Loans and any other Indebtedness of the Borrowers in favor of such Lender, the excess shall be deemed to have been a payment made by mistake and shall be refunded to the Borrower.

10.19    Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 10.19 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

10.20    No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Bookrunners, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other, except as otherwise explicitly provided herein. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person, except as otherwise explicitly provided herein. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions

- 242 -

and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

10.21    The Borrower Representative.

(a)    Appointment; Nature of Relationships. The Company is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Section 10.21. Additionally, the Borrowers hereby appoint the Borrower Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans, at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such amounts to the appropriate Borrower. None of the Lenders or their respective officers, directors, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 10.21(a).

(b)    Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative.

(c)    Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through its authorized officers.

(d)    Successor Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to the Lender.

(e)    Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificates. The Borrowers hereby empower and authorize the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to execute and deliver to the Lender the Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Borrowing Base Certificates and the Compliance Certificates. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers.

- 243 -

10.22    Currency Indemnity. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the exchange rate at which the Administrative Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency at the spot selling rate on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange rate prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount due, the applicable Borrowers will, on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other of the Loan Documents in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due that the Administrative Agent is able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, the applicable Loan Parties shall indemnify and save the Administrative Agent harmless from and against loss arising as a result of such deficiency. The indemnity contained herein shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or under any judgment or order.

10.23    Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(a)    Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “Canadian AML Legislation”), the Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable Canadian AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b)    If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties for the purposes of applicable Canadian AML Legislation, then Agent:

(i)    shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender

- 244 -

and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable Canadian AML Legislation; and

(ii)    shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

(iii)    Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other the Administrative Agent has any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

10.24     Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Insitutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)     the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)     a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)     a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)     the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
