2.4.6 | The Borrowers covenant and agree that the total outstanding amount of all Advances under the Cdn Revolving Facility, the Cdn Swingline Facility, the US Revolving Facility and the US Swingline Facility, at any time, shall never exceed the sum of the Cdn Revolving Commitments and the US Revolving Commitments, as at such time, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lenders having no obligation whatsoever to monitor, in any way, the foregoing undertaking. | ||
2.4.7 | Where under any of the terms hereof, a Revolving Facility is cancelled, reduced or terminated (other than as a result of adjustments in the Facilities pursuant to Section 2.15), same may not subsequently be increased, any such cancellation, reduction or termination thereof being permanent. Unless otherwise expressly provided under the terms hereof, any reduction of a Revolving Facility shall be apportioned as among the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders under that Revolving Facility on a Rateable Share basis of that Revolving Facility. |

Once delivered, no Draw Request may subsequently be revoked or withdrawn by the Borrowers. | ||
2.6.2 | The proceeds of each Drawdown by way of Direct Advance requested by way of Draw Request, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders of the Revolving Facility under which such Drawdown is requested, shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent on the Drawdown Date by bank transfer to the credit of the applicable Borrower’s Account. | ||
2.6.3 | With respect to each Drawdown by way of the issuance of BAs, the BA Proceeds relating to such BAs, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent from the Cdn Lenders, shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent on the Drawdown Date by bank transfer to the credit of the Borrower’s Account of the Cdn Borrower. |
2.6.4 | With respect to each Drawdown by way of the issuance of an LC, the relevant LC Issuing Lender shall disburse such Drawdown by delivering on the Drawdown Date the requested LC to the Borrower that requested same or to the Person designated by such Borrower. | ||
2.6.5 | Where prior to crediting such funds to the appropriate Borrower’s Account as provided above, the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrower that requested such Drawdown, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, an unconditional and irrevocable direction of payment instructing the Administrative Agent as to how to dispose of such funds (including by way of wire transfer of funds), or alternatively, a particular Draw Request provides such a direction of payment, the Administrative Agent shall credit such funds to the appropriate Borrower’s Account as provided above and immediately thereafter shall comply with such direction of payment and for all purposes of this Agreement, such funds, irrevocably and conclusively, shall be deemed to have been disbursed to such Borrower, if they are disposed of in the manner contemplated in any such direction of payment. |
2.7 | Borrowing Procedures under the Swingline Facilities |
2.7.1 | Drawdown under each Swingline Facility may be obtained by the applicable Borrower by way of overdrafts on any of such Borrower’s Operating Accounts. Any cheque or payment instruction or debit authorization from the applicable Borrower and resulting in an overdraft in such Borrower’s Operating Account will be deemed to be a request for a Swingline Loan in an amount that is sufficient to cover such overdraft. | ||
2.7.2 | Any overdraft created, in each case, by the applicable Swingline Lender as hereinabove provided in the applicable Borrower’s Operating Account shall be a Prime Rate Loan, a US Base Rate Loan or a US Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be. | ||
2.7.3 | If (i) any Swingline Loan shall be outstanding on the last Business Day of any week, (ii) any Swingline Loan is or will be outstanding on a date when any Borrower requests that a Revolving Loan be made, (iii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Cdn Swingline Loan or the US Swingline Loan, as the case may be, shall exceed at any time the then existing Cdn Swingline Commitment Amount or the US Swingline Commitment Amount, as the case may be, or (iv) any Default shall occur and be continuing, then the applicable Swingline Lender (by request to the Administrative Agent) may require each applicable Lender (other than the applicable Swingline Lender) and each such Lender irrevocably agrees, at the request of the Administrative Agent, to make a Revolving Loan (which shall initially be funded as a Prime Rate Loan, a US Base Rate Loan or a US Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be) in an amount equal to such Lender’s applicable Rateable |
Share of the aggregate principal amount of such Swingline Loan then outstanding (such outstanding Swingline Loan hereinafter referred to as the “Refunded Swingline Loans”). On or before 1:00 P.M. (Montréal time) on the Business Day on which each such Lender shall receive a request from the Administrative Agent to make Revolving Loans as provided in the preceding sentence, each applicable Lender shall wire transfer to an account specified by the Administrative Agent the amount so requested in same day funds and such funds shall be applied by the applicable Swingline Lender to repay the Refunded Swingline Loan. At the time the applicable Lenders make the above referenced Revolving Loans, the applicable Swingline Lender shall be deemed to have made, in consideration of the making of the Refunded Swingline Loan, a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to the applicable Swingline Lender’s applicable Rateable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Swingline Loan; | |||
2.7.4 | Upon the making (or deemed making, in the case of the applicable Swingline Lender) of any Revolving Loan pursuant to this Section, the amount so funded shall become an outstanding applicable Revolving Loan and shall no longer be owed as a Swingline Loan. All interest payable with respect to any Revolving Loans made (or deemed made, in the case of the applicable Swingline Lender) pursuant to this clause shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the period of time during which the applicable Swingline Lender had an outstanding Swingline Loan in respect of which such Revolving Loans were made. Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in this Section shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the applicable Swingline Lender, any Borrower or any Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Restricted Credit Party, (iv) the acceleration or maturity of any Obligations or the termination of any Commitment after the making of any Swingline Loan, (v) any breach of any Operative Document by any Person, or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. |

2.8.3 | Where the Cdn Borrower requests a cancellation of the whole of the Cdn Revolving Facility, then, on the effective date of such cancellation, the Cdn Borrower shall repay the entire amount of the Cdn Revolving Loans and the Cdn Swingline Loan outstanding on such date including any Stand-By Fee (as pertains to the Cdn Revolving Facility) and interest accrued and unpaid as at such date as well as any losses and expenses incurred or suffered by any Cdn Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of such cancellation. | ||
2.8.4 | Where the US Borrower requests a cancellation of the whole of the US Revolving Facility, then, on the effective date of such cancellation, the US Borrower shall repay the entire amount of the US Revolving Loans and the US Swingline Loan outstanding on such date including any Stand-By Fee (as pertains to the US Revolving Facility) and interest accrued and unpaid as at such date as well as any losses and expenses incurred or suffered by any US Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of such cancellation. | ||
2.8.5 | Any Reduction Notice shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of the relevant reduction provided that where such reduction results in a repayment of the whole or any part of the Libor Loans, then the Reduction Notice shall be delivered at least five (5) Banking Days prior to the effective date of such reduction. Once delivered, no Reduction Notice may be revoked or withdrawn by the Borrowers. | ||
2.8.6 | Unless under the provisions of this Agreement a reduction applies specifically to one of the Revolving Facilities, the Borrowers may, in the relevant Reduction Notice, specify to which of the Revolving Facilities such reduction applies or in which proportion it applies between the Cdn Revolving Facility and the US Revolving Facility. |
2.9 | Repayment of Entire Loans |

2.10.2 | Where under any circumstances, including any voluntary reduction of the US Revolving Facility (including any reduction of the US Revolving Facility resulting from an adjustment to the Revolving Facilities pursuant to Section 2.15) but excluding as a result solely of Exchange Rate fluctuations, the sum of the US Revolving Loans and the US Swingline Loan exceeds the US Revolving Facility, then the US Borrower shall forthwith repay such portion of the US Revolving Loans as will reduce such excess to nil. | ||
2.10.3 | Concurrently with any repayment under this Section, the Cdn Borrower or the US Borrower, as the case may be, shall pay any losses and expenses incurred or suffered by any Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of such repayment, to the extent provided for in this Agreement; | ||
2.10.4 | Concurrently with any such repayment, the Cdn Borrower or the US Borrower, as the case may be, shall issue a Repayment Notice. |
2.11 | Compulsory Repayment of Loans as a Result of Exchange Rate Fluctuations |

excess to nil. Concurrently with any such repayment, the Cdn Borrower or the US Borrower (as the case may be) shall issue a Repayment Notice. |
2.12 | Voluntary Repayment of Loans |
2.12.1 | At any time during the Revolving Period, the Cdn Borrower may voluntarily repay the whole or any part of the Cdn Revolving Loans or the Cdn Swingline Loan, and the US Borrower may voluntarily repay the whole or any part of the US Revolving Loans or the US Swingline Loan. | ||
2.12.2 | The Cdn Borrower or the US Borrower, as the case may be, shall issue a Repayment Notice prior to any such repayment of the Cdn Revolving Loans or the US Revolving Loans, as the case may be. | ||

2.13.1 | Unless otherwise specified or required hereunder, any Repayment Notice shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent at least: |
2.13.1.1 | one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the relevant repayment if such repayment relates only to Prime Rate Loans, US Base Rate Loans or US Prime Rate Loans; | ||
2.13.1.2 | three (3) Banking Days priors to the date of the relevant repayment if such repayment relates in whole or in part to Libor Loans; and | ||

Once delivered, no Repayment Notice may be revoked or withdrawn by the Borrowers. | |||
2.13.2 | In the Repayment Notice, the Cdn Borrower or the US Borrower, as the case may be, may specify to which Types of Revolving Loans the repayment shall be imputed.

2.14 | Additional Borrowers |
2.15 | Reallocations amongst Revolving Facilities |
2.15.1 | The Cdn Borrower may, upon giving not less than 10 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Facility Reallocation Request”), request that the amount of the Revolving Facilities be apportioned differently as between the Cdn Revolving Facility and the US Revolving Facility. A Facility Reallocation Request may request a change (increase or decrease) in each such component of the Revolving Facilities (including for greater certainty, the Swingline Facilities) so long as (i) the aggregate Revolving Commitments determined after such reallocation is made would not exceed the amount of the aggregate Revolving Commitments in effect immediately before such reallocation is made, (ii) the Cdn Swingline Commitment Amount and the US Swingline Commitment Amount, respectively, determined after such reallocation is made would not exceed the Cdn Revolving Facility and the US Revolving Facility, respectively, determined after such reallocation is made, and (iii) the sum of the Cdn Swingline Commitment Amount and the US Swingline Commitment Amount determined after such reallocation is made would not exceed the Aggregate Swingline Commitment Amount. Any such Facility Reallocation Request shall not be delivered more than once during any fiscal quarter of the Cdn Borrower. | ||
2.15.2 | Promptly following receipt of a Facility Reallocation Request the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and request each Lender to approve the modifications requested therein. Each Lender may, subject to the provisions of the immediately following sentence of this subsection 2.15.2, elect to approve or refuse such Facility Reallocation by notice to the Administrative Agent to such effect. If a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender is able to increase or assume a Revolving Commitment under a Revolving Facility so requested of such Lender pursuant to a Facility Reallocation Request in an amount that equals a reduction under the other Revolving Commitment of such Lender (or Affiliate thereof) pursuant to such |
Facility Reallocation Request without suffering any legal, regulatory or economic loss and expense, such Lender will not unreasonably withhold its approval of the Facility Reallocation Request. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following receipt of such information, notify the Cdn Borrower of all Lenders which have approved such Facility Reallocation Request and those which have refused. | |||
2.15.3 | On or before the last Business Day of the fiscal quarter of the Cdn Borrower during which any Facility Reallocation Request is submitted to the Administrative Agent, the Cdn Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent as to whether or not it wishes to modify the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders in accordance with the approvals and refusals of the Lenders to such Facility Reallocation Request. If the Cdn Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it does not wish to so modify the Revolving Commitments, then no such modification shall take place. If, however, the Cdn Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it wishes to so modify the Revolving Commitments, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such fact and the Revolving Commitments of those Lenders which have consented to such Facility Reallocation Request shall be automatically modified as of the first Business Day of the fiscal quarter of the Cdn Borrower following the expiry of the 10-day notice period referred to in subsection 2.15.1 to the extent they have agreed to the changes requested and thereupon each component of the Revolving Facilities shall be modified accordingly and the Rateable Share of the respective Lenders in respect of the applicable Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans shall be adjusted accordingly. |
2.16 | Extension of the Revolving Period |
2.16.1 | The Borrowers may request that the Revolving Period be extended for additional individual periods of one (1) year (each such period to commence on the day immediately following the last day of the then current Revolving Period), by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Extension Request no earlier than 90 days and no later than 45 days prior to each anniversary of the Restatement Date. | ||
2.16.2 | Upon receipt of an Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Lender and no later than 30 days following the receipt thereof from the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall inform the Administrative Agent of its decision to extend or not to extend the Revolving Period. The decision of a Lender to extend the Revolving Period is irrevocable. The failure by a Lender to inform the Administrative Agent of its decision within such period shall result in such Lender being deemed to have refused to extend its Revolving Period. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the notices of acceptance or refusal (or deemed refusal) from the |
Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Borrowers and the Lenders of the results. | |||
2.16.3 | If the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend the Revolving Period represents 662/3% or less of the Revolving Facilities, then the Revolving Period shall not be extended and shall expire in accordance with its terms. | ||
2.16.4 | If the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend the Revolving Period represents more than 662/3% of the Revolving Facilities, then, with respect to each Dissenting Lender, the Borrowers shall have the right, prior to the anniversary of the Restatement Date that is three (3) years prior to the end of the then current Revolving Period, to replace such Dissenting Lender as contemplated in Section 2.17 or cancel its Revolving Commitment as contemplated in Section 2.18, provided, however, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the effective date of such replacement or cancellation, as the case may be. | ||
2.16.5 | If, prior to the anniversary of the Restatement Date that is three (3) years prior to the end of the then current Revolving Period, the Borrowers have replaced all Dissenting Lenders as contemplated in Section 2.17 or cancelled their respective Revolving Commitments as contemplated in Section 2.18, then the Revolving Period shall be extended as hereinabove mentioned. | ||
2.16.6 | If, prior to the anniversary of the Restatement Date that is three (3) years prior to the end of the then current Revolving Period, the Borrowers have not replaced all Dissenting Lenders as contemplated in Section 2.17 or cancelled their respective Revolving Commitments as contemplated in Section 2.18, then the Revolving Period shall not be extended and shall expire in accordance with its terms. |
2.17 | Replacement of Dissenting Lenders |
2.17.1 | the Borrowers shall initially be required to ask each Lender who has agreed to extend its Revolving Period, through the Administrative Agent, if it desires to have the Loan or any portion thereof of such Dissenting Lender Assigned to it and assume the corresponding portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Dissenting Lender; and | ||
2.17.2 | then, in the event that no such Lender informs the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days of such request of the Borrowers of its intention to proceed with such an Assignment or that the aggregate amount of the Loan and the Revolving Commitment that the Lenders desire to have Assigned to them is less than the amount of the Loan and the Revolving Commitment of |
such Dissenting Lender, the Borrowers may request that such portion of the Loan and the Revolving Commitment of such Dissenting Lender be Assigned to one or more financial institutions, the whole in accordance with Section 22.5 provided, however, that the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent the fees contemplated in paragraph 22.5.1.4. |
2.18 | Cancellation of the Revolving Commitments of Dissenting Lenders |
2.19 | Accordion Feature |
2.19.1 | At any time that no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request that on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Lenders or New Lenders provide up to an aggregate amount of Cdn$250,000,000 in additional loan commitments consisting, at Borrowers’ option, of either Cdn Revolving Commitments or US Revolving Commitments (the “Additional Revolving Commitments”). | ||
2.19.2 | Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the Lenders to provide such Additional Revolving Commitments, provided that the Administrative Agent will first offer each of the Lenders that then has a Revolving Commitment under the Revolving Facilities a pro rata portion (based upon the applicable Revolving Facility, at such time) of any such Additional Revolving Commitments. Nothing contained in this Section or otherwise in this Agreement is intended to commit any Lender or any Agent to provide any portion of any such Additional Revolving Commitments. | ||
2.19.3 | To the extent that any Lenders or New Lenders agree, in their sole discretion, to provide any Additional Revolving Commitments, (i) the applicable Revolving Facility and the applicable Revolving Commitments shall be increased by the amount of the Additional Revolving Commitments agreed to be so provided, (ii) at such time and in such manner as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, the Lenders shall assign and assume outstanding applicable Revolving Loans held by each Lender to conform to the respective percentages of the applicable Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, and (iii) the Borrowers shall execute and deliver any amendments or modifications to any Operative Document as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. |

Where such apportionment results in the aggregate face amount of BAs to be accepted by a Cdn Lender for the same Selected Period not to be a whole multiple of Cdn$100,000, such aggregate face amount shall be increased or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to the nearest whole multiple of Cdn$100,000, without affecting the aggregate face amount of BAs accepted by the Cdn Lenders for the same Selected Period. |

A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to such Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section shall be prima facie evidence thereof, absent manifest error. | ||
9.10.3 | If such amount is so made available to such Lender, such payment to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower that was required to make such payment shall constitute such Borrower’s payment or repayment of the share of such Lender of the relevant payment or repayment on the date such Borrower pays same to the Administrative Agent, for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not so paid to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall notify such Lender of such failure and, without in any way affecting or otherwise diminishing the obligation of such Borrower to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent immediately, as herein contemplated, on the first (1st) Business Day following the due date of such payment or repayment, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to it by the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon for each day that such Lender had the use of such amount at a rate per annum equal to the rate payable by such Borrower on such amount under the terms hereof computed daily, |
compounded monthly on the first day of each calendar month and payable upon the demand of the Administrative Agent. | |||
9.10.4 | Considering the authorization given in subsection 9.6.1, to the extent that, on the due date of any payment or repayment, the monies then available in the Borrower’s Accounts that is required to make such payment are sufficient to fund such payment or repayment, then the Administrative Agent may fund such payment or repayment from such monies so that such payment may be made on the due date thereof. |

19.1 | Market Disruption |
19.1.1 | by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant markets generally, deposits in the relevant currencies are not available to such Affected Lender in such market in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to enable it to make a Libor Loan, to accept Drafts or discount BAs for any Selected Period; or | ||
19.1.2 | by reason of circumstances affecting the market for BAs, no purchasers are available to such Affected Lender to enable it to discount BAs having any Selected Period; or | ||
19.1.3 | by reason of any Change in Law, it is impracticable for such Affected Lender to accept or discount BAs or to make or maintain a Libor Loan for any Selected Period; or | ||
19.1.4 | Libor or the Discount Rate do not represent, for such Affected Lender, by an amount which such Affected Lender deems in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith) to be material, the effective cost of funding or maintaining the Libor Loan or the BA Liabilities of such Affected Lender or any part thereof to be made for any Selected Period or continued for any new Selected Period by such Affected Lender; |
19.2 | Suspension of Rights to Convert |
19.2.1 | the Libor Loans or any part thereof, as the case may be, shall not be made, the Drafts shall not be accepted or the BAs shall not be discounted (whether |
pursuant to an Advance, a conversion or a rollover) by the Affected Lenders and the Borrowers’ right to elect that Advances be made or once made be converted into or continued as BAs or Libor Loans by an Affected Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such time as the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that the circumstances having given rise to such suspension no longer exist; |
19.2.2 | each Affected Lender, over the course of the next ten (10) Business Days following the issuance of the notice by the Administrative Agent under Section 19.1, shall negotiate in good faith with the Borrowers and deliver to the Borrowers in writing the terms of a substitute basis for the continuation of the BA Liability or Libor Loan, of such Affected Lender or any part thereof, as the case may be, which is, financially, the substantial equivalent to such Affected Lender of the terms provided herein. The terms of the Substitute Basis for the BA Liability or Libor Loan of such Affected Lender or any part thereof, as the case may be, if they are accepted by the Borrowers, shall be effective from any such acceptance and the provisions of this Agreement respecting such BA Liability or Libor Loan as the case may be, ipso facto, shall be amended to accord with the terms of the Substitute Basis for such Affected Lender. The Borrowers shall sign such documents, deeds and instruments, and shall do all such things as the Affected Lenders shall reasonably consider useful or necessary to give effect to the Substitute Basis. If by the expiry of the said ten (10) Business Days no agreement has been reached with respect to the Substitute Basis, the affected outstanding Cdn Revolving Libor Loan of each Affected Lender will automatically be converted into Cdn Revolving US Base Rate Loan of such Affected Lender retroactively to the affected Borrowing Date, the affected outstanding US Revolving Libor Loan of each Affected Lender will automatically be converted into a US Revolving US Prime Rate Loan of such Affected Lender retroactively to the affected Borrowing Date, and the Cdn Borrower shall immediately repay in full the BA Liabilities or any part thereof, as the case may be, of each Affected Lender together with, in all cases, forthwith upon receipt of a demand therefor, the amounts referred to in Sections 19.5 and 19.6. |
19.3 | Change in Law |

BA Liabilities or the Libor Loan hereunder of such Finance Party, then the obligations of such Finance Party to maintain or give effect to such part of such obligations, or to make or maintain such part of such BA Liabilities or such Libor Loan shall terminate and, subject to the provisions of any such Applicable Law and those of Sections 19.5 and 19.6 with respect to losses and expenses, the Borrowers may convert such BA Liabilities or such Libor Loan or any part thereof or alternatively may repay in full any such or other affected Loan or liability to such Finance Party, together, in each case, with all interest accrued thereon, which conversion or repayment shall be made, with respect to each relevant Selected Amount, at the expiry of its Selected Period, or if in the judgment of such Finance Party immediate conversion or repayment is required, immediately upon demand of such Finance Party; or |
19.3.2 | a Change in Law has: |
19.3.2.1 | imposed, modified, or deemed applicable any loan ceiling against such Finance Party or imposed, modified or deemed applicable any special Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of such Finance Party) deposit insurance, reserve, deposit or similar requirement with respect to assets held by, deposits in or for the account of, the acquisition of funds by, or loans by such Finance Party; or | ||
19.3.2.2 | changed the basis of taxation of payments to such Finance Party under this Agreement (other than a change affecting taxation on the overall net income of such Finance Party); or | ||

19.3.2.4 | shall pay to such Finance Party, such additional amount computed by such Finance Party as will, on an after-tax basis, compensate such Finance Party for such additional cost or reduction in amounts |
receivable which such Finance Party determines to be attributable to the Borrowers or the Loans made to the Borrowers; and |
19.3.2.5 | subject to the provisions of Sections 19.5 and 19.6 with respect to losses and expenses, may (i) convert such Cdn Revolving Libor Loans or any part thereof into a Cdn Revolving US Base Rate Loan or may repay it, (ii) convert such US Revolving Libor Loans or any part thereof into a US Revolving US Prime Rate Loan or may repay it, and (iii) shall repay in full the BA Liabilities and LC Liabilities together, in each case, with accrued interest thereon. |

19.8.3 | Any Assignment under the provisions of this Section 19.8 shall be effected in accordance with the provisions of Section 22.5 provided, however, that the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent the fee referred to in paragraph 22.5.1.4. The Affected Lender shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers for the purpose of completing any Assignment requested by the Borrowers under the provisions of this Section 19.8 in a timely manner. |

20.14 | Replacement Administrative Agent |
20.14.1 | The Administrative Agent (a “Resigning Agent”) may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the other Finance Parties and the Borrowers. Such resignation shall only be effective upon the earlier of (i) the appointment of a replacement agent and its acceptance of such appointment and (ii) the 30th day following such notice. Upon receipt of notice of any such intended resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a replacement to the Resigning Agent which shall be one of the Lenders which has an office in Montréal, Québec, or Toronto, Ontario, and in the U.S.A. and provided no Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, which shall be acceptable to the Borrowers. If no replacement to the Resigning Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 15 days of receipt of such notice, the Majority Lenders shall, within the following 15 days, appoint a replacement that may, but need not be, a Lender but that shall be, with respect to the Cdn Revolving Facility, a financial institution to which payments are not subject to Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and which has a branch in Montréal, Québec or Toronto, Ontario and, with respect to the US Revolving Facility, an office in the U.S.A., and provided no Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, that shall be acceptable to the Borrowers. If the Majority Lenders fail to appoint a replacement to the Resigning Agent within such 15 day period, without limitation of its rights under this Section 20.14, the Resigning Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent which shall be, with respect to the Cdn Revolving Facility, a financial institution to which payments are not subject to Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and which has a branch in Montréal, Québec or Toronto, Ontario and, with respect to the US Revolving Facility, an office in the U.S.A. Upon the resignation of a Resigning Agent, the replacement agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all |
the rights and obligations of the Resigning Agent and the Resigning Agent shall be discharged from its obligations under the Operative Documents. After any Resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent the provisions of this Article 20 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. In the event no replacement Administrative Agent shall have been appointed, the provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect and each Lender shall be deemed to be its Administrative Agent. | |||
20.14.2 | The Administrative Agent may also be removed at any time by the Majority Lenders on the grounds that the Administrative Agent has failed to comply, in all material respects, with its obligations towards any Lender and has not remedied such failure within a reasonable delay following its receipt of a notice from the Majority Lenders describing such failure. The provisions of subsection 20.14.1 above will apply mutatis mutandis to an Administrative Agent that is being so removed. |
20.15 | Delegation |
20.16 | Waivers and Amendments |

before or after such failure) shall not be construed as a breach of such term, covenant, agreement, condition or obligations or an Event of Default. | |||

20.16.4 | Nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Operative Documents, including, without limitation, the specific reference to Lenders in certain provisions and to Majority Lenders in other provisions, should be construed or interpreted as in any way limiting or restricting the generality of the provisions of this Section 20.16. |

Any failure of the Administrative Agent to record a transaction on any loan record in a timely fashion shall not affect or impair the validity of the obligation of such Borrower to repay the Loans |
owed by it by and when herein provided.

Commitments and other obligations hereunder to the extent of such Assignment, and such Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement, and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefit of the provisions hereof, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrowers, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required.

22.5.3 | Without in any way limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall, at the request of any Lender which so Assigns any of its interest under this Agreement, execute and deliver to such Lender or to such party or parties as such Lender may designate any and all further instruments or documents and use its best efforts to obtain any and all further authorizations or approvals, and make any and all further registrations, filings or notifications, as may be necessary or desirable to give full force and effect to such Assignment. | ||
22.5.4 | Any Assignment contemplated in this Section 22.5 must be either for the entire amount of the Commitments and the Loan of a Lender or where it is for a lesser amount, such amount must not be such that the Commitments of the Assigning Lender would be reduced by less than Cdn$5,000,000 nor must the remaining amount of the Commitments of the Assigning Lender following such an Assignment be less than Cdn$5,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where any such Assignment is being made while a Default has occurred and is continuing, none of the restrictions contained in this subsection 22.5.4 shall apply to such Assignment. | ||
22.5.5 | Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Operative Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Operative Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that |
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in subsection 20.16.2 that affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 18 and Article 19 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by Assignment pursuant to this Section 22.5. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 17.5 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 18.4 as though it were a Lender. | |||
22.5.6 | Except as specifically set forth in this Section 22.5, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective parties hereto and their successors or assignees permitted hereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 22.5, each Lender, subject to the prior consent of the Borrowers and subject to Section 22.18, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, may provide, on a confidential and need-to-know basis, any prospective assignees, transferees or participants with this Agreement, the other Operative Documents as well as all information, reports, budgets, projections and documents, which are made available to each Lender by the Borrowers in connection with this Agreement, from time to time provided that the prior consent of the Borrowers is not required at any time where a Default has occurred and is continuing. |
22.6 | Conversion Rules |
22.7 | Currency Indemnity |
Original Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the affected Finance Parties against such loss and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is greater than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, the Administrative Agent and the Finance Parties agree, notwithstanding any such payment or judgment, to remit to such Borrower, on demand, any such excess. |

22.18.1 | Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as hereinafter defined), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to it, its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Operative |
Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Operative Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (y) any Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (z) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Derivative Instrument relating to any Restricted Credit Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Cdn Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (y) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (z) becomes available to any Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Restricted Credit Party. | |||
22.18.2 | For all purposes of this Section 22.18, “Information” means all information received in connection with this Agreement from any Restricted Credit Party relating to any Restricted Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to such receipt. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 22.18 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Agents may disclose to any agency or organization that assigns standard identification numbers to loan facilities such basic information describing the Credit Facilities as is necessary to assign unique identifiers (and, if requested, supply a copy of this Agreement), it being understood that the Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to make available to the public only such Information as such person normally makes available in the course of its business of assigning identification numbers. | ||
22.18.3 | In addition, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may provide the information described on Schedule “G” concerning the Restricted Credit Parties and the Credit Facilities to Loan Pricing Corporation and/or other recognized trade publishers of information for general circulation in the loan market. |

2.1 | Object of Guarantee. The Guarantors, solidarily and jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantee to the Guaranteed Parties, the due and punctual payment, observance and performance of all of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise) and in accordance with their respective terms, and the Guarantors expressly agree so to pay, observe or perform the same when so due or deemed to be due, upon demand therefor by the Administrative Agent. | |
2.2 | Consideration.

Subject to the following sentence, any amount payable by any Guarantor under this Guarantee which is not paid forthwith upon demand therefor will bear interest from the date of such demand until paid in full at the rate or rates applicable to the corresponding Guaranteed Obligation under the applicable Operative Document. The intention of the parties is that no more interest will accrue or be demanded from any Guarantor than is owing by any Borrower or any other Guarantor as part of the Guaranteed Obligations. All payments hereunder shall be made at the Canadian Account Branch or the American Account Branch, as the case may be, no later than 3:00 p.m., Montréal time, on the Business Day following the day on which a demand is made hereunder. | |
2.5 | Statement of Account.

The Administrative Agent agrees to provide the Guarantors with computations and calculations used by such Person to prepare each such statement of account promptly following a request therefor. | |
2.6 | No Reduction in Payment or Performance. All payments due to the Guaranteed Parties hereunder and all of the other terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be observed or performed by the Guarantors hereunder, whether in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, shall be made, observed or performed by the Guarantors without any reduction whatsoever, including, without limitation, any reduction resulting from any defence, right of action, right of set-off or compensation, right of recoupment or counterclaim of any nature whatsoever that the Borrowers or the other Guarantors, as the case may be, may have or have had at any time against the Administrative Agent, a Guaranteed Party or any other Person whether with respect to this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Operative Documents or otherwise other than the prior payment in accordance with the terms of the Operative Documents, of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any portion thereof). | |

The Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed not to have been paid, observed or performed, and the liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder in respect thereof shall continue and not be discharged, to the extent that any payment, observance or performance thereof by any Borrower or any other Guarantor, or out of the proceeds of any collateral (collectively referred to herein as the “Disgorged Amount”), is recovered from or reimbursed by or for the account of the Guaranteed Parties for any reason, including, but not limited to, a preference or fraudulent transfer or by virtue of any subordination (whether present or future or contractual or otherwise) of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such recovery or payment over is effected by any judgment, decree or order of any court or Governmental Authority, by any plan of reorganization or by settlement or compromise by the Guaranteed Parties (whether or not consented to by any Borrower or any Guarantor) of any claim for any such recovery or payment over. Each of the Guarantors hereby expressly waives the benefit of any applicable Law of limitations and agrees that it shall be liable hereunder whenever such a recovery or payment ever occurs. | |

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Upon request from any Guarantor, the Taxed Party claiming payment of Indemnified Taxes under the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall provide the Borrowers with such information and documentation as such Guarantor may reasonably request. |
6.3 | Increase in Interest Rates. If any of the Guarantors is prevented by operation of Law from paying or causing to be paid any amount required to be paid by Section 6.2, each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees to pay as additional interest payable under this Agreement, an amount equal to such required amount, it being expressly understood and agreed that any such additional interest payment shall be paid on an after-tax-basis as contemplated in Section 6.2 and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2. Each of the Guarantors, at the request of any Taxed Party, shall sign such documents, deeds and instruments and shall do all such things as such Taxed Party shall reasonably consider useful or necessary to give full force and effect to such increase in the rate of interest. | |
6.4 | Remittances by Taxed Party. With respect to any of such Indemnified Taxes, the Guarantors shall make any required payment thereof within the time allowed under applicable Law and, within 15 days thereafter, shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and any Taxed Party evidence of such payment together with such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be available to establish any Tax credit to which such Taxed Party may be entitled. If such Taxed Party shall determine that it has irrevocably obtained a credit or similar Tax benefit with respect to income Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction in which it or its relevant lending office may be located or under the Laws of which it has been constituted, on the basis of the payment of such Taxes by any of the Guarantors, such Taxed Party shall remit to the relevant Guarantors promptly an amount equal to the amount of such credit or benefit as is, in its discretion, exercised in good faith, equitably allocable to such payment by any of the Guarantors having taken into account all its dealings giving rise to similar credits or benefits in relation to the same Tax period. If such Taxed Party shall determine subsequently that, for any reason, the amount of such credit or benefit has directly or indirectly been reduced, each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees to pay, upon the request of such Taxed Party accompanied by evidence of such reduction, to such Taxed Party an amount equal to the amount of such reduction. All determinations and computations required or permitted by |
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
this Section 6.4 shall be made, and all assumptions, methods of allocation and other principles necessary for or related to such determinations and computations shall be made or selected, by such Taxed Party in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith) and shall constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of the amounts or matters so determined or computed. |
6.5 | Survival of Agreements. The agreements of the Guarantors under this Article 6 shall survive the payment, observance and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, the cancellation in full of the Facilities. |
7.1 | Conversion Rules. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment in any court or for any other purpose hereunder, it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be the Exchange Rate for conversion of the Original Currency into the Second Currency on the Business Day on which judgment is given or the amount is due, as the case may be. | |
7.2 | Currency Indemnity. Each of the Guarantors agrees that its obligations, in respect of any amounts due from it to the Guaranteed Parties in the Original Currency hereunder shall, notwithstanding any payment or tender, including pursuant to any judgment expressed or payment made in the Second Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt of any sums so paid or adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties, as the case may be, in accordance with normal banking procedure, may purchase in the Canadian money market or the Canadian foreign exchange market, as the case may be, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid or so adjudged to be due; and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each of the Guarantors agrees as a separate and independent obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Guaranteed Parties against such loss and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is greater than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Parties (herein acting and represented by the Administrative Agent) agree, notwithstanding any such payment or judgment, to remit to the relevant Guarantors, on demand, any such excess. The obligation provided for in this Section 7.2 shall not be affected by or merged with any judgment obtained under this Agreement. |

8.1 | Intervention of any Lender into this Agreement. The Administrative Agent does hereby declare that in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and of any Loan Transfer Agreement which has been or shall be executed from time to time, it has been mandated or shall have its mandate confirmed, as the case may be, by each and every Person who may, at any time and from time to time, become a Lender to act for and on its behalf in the execution of this Agreement and in the assumption and performance of its obligations hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as though such Person were an original Guaranteed Party thereto. Furthermore, the Guaranteed Parties (herein acting and represented by the Administrative Agent) do hereby acknowledge and agree that the execution and delivery of a Loan Transfer Agreement by the parties referred to therein shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement, the intervention by such transferee referred to in such Loan Transfer Agreement into this Agreement and such transferee shall have all the benefits created hereunder and shall be bound by all the terms hereof as fully as though it were an original Guaranteed Party hereto. | |
8.2 | Benefit of this Agreement for future Guaranteed Parties. The Guaranteed Parties (herein acting and represented by the Administrative Agent) hereto do hereby expressly acknowledge, declare and agree that the rights, benefits and remedies created and intended to be created at any time and from time to time by this Agreement in favour of the Administrative Agent, are created and intended to be created in favour of the Guaranteed Parties and in favour of the Administrative Agent as administrative agent for such Person or Persons who now are or may, at any time and from time to time, become Guaranteed Parties in the same manner and to the same extent as though each such Person was personally an original Guaranteed Party hereto or a Person specifically named as a beneficiary in this Agreement. In furtherance of the provisions of this Section 8.2, the original Guaranteed Parties (herein acting and represented by the Administrative Agent) hereto do hereby irrevocably mandate the Administrative Agent, for and on their behalf, to confirm to and confer upon each Person who becomes a Guaranteed Party, the benefits of this Agreement and to execute any instrument necessary to evidence same. The acceptance by the Administrative Agent of any Loan Transfer Agreement shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the carrying out by the Administrative Agent of the irrevocable mandate given to it under this Section 8.2. |
9.1 | Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be deemed to have been duly given or made to the party to which such notice, request, demand or other communication is required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement, when delivered to such party (by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by telecopier or hand |
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
delivery) at its address and attention set forth with its signature below, or at such other address as any of the parties hereto may hereafter notify the others in writing. No other method of giving notice is hereby precluded. |
9.2 | Amendments and Waivers. The rights and remedies of the Guaranteed Parties and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have and no failure or delay by any one thereof in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Guarantors, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and such amendment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto and the Guaranteed Parties, or compliance therewith may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the Administrative Agent and such waiver shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto and the Guaranteed Parties, and in any such event the failure to observe, perform or discharge any such covenant, condition or obligation (whether such amendment is executed or such consent or waiver is given before or after such failure) shall not be construed as a breach of such covenant, condition or obligation. | |
9.3 | Assignments by Lenders. Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that (y) pursuant to the provisions of Section 22.5 of the Credit Agreement, any Guaranteed Party may at any time grant Participations in or enter into Assignments subject to the conditions set forth in Section 22.5 of the Credit Agreement and (z) upon fulfilment of the conditions precedent to Assignment set forth in Section 22.5 of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution of a Loan Transfer Agreement, the assigning Guaranteed Party shall be released from its obligations under the terms hereof to the extent of such Assignment and the transferee of such Guaranteed Party, for all purposes, shall be a Guaranteed Party under this Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefits, Rights, Remedies and/or Recourses of such Guaranteed Party under this Agreement to the same extent and in the same manner as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by the Guarantors shall be required. Except as specifically set forth in this Section 9.3, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the Guaranteed Parties, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement. | |
9.4 | Compensation and Set-Off |
9.4.1 | In addition to any right now or hereafter granted under applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights: |
9.4.1.1 | upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Guaranteed Party is hereby authorized by each Guarantor, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby |
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
expressly waived, to effect compensation, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, in each case whether matured or unmatured), and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Guaranteed Party to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against and on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured; |
9.4.2 | For the purposes of the application of this Section 9.4, the Guarantors and the Guaranteed Parties (herein acting and represented by the Administrative Agent) agree that the benefit of any term applicable to any Guaranteed Party’s deposit, credit indebtedness, liability or obligation referred to in this Section 9.4 shall be lost immediately before the time when such or Guaranteed Party shall exercise its rights under this Section 9.4 in respect of such deposit, credit indebtedness, liability or obligation of such Guaranteed Party. | ||
9.4.3 | Furthermore, in the exercise of its rights under this Section 9.4, where any Indebtedness of either of any Guaranteed Party to any Guarantor is not outstanding in the same currency as the Indebtedness of such Guarantor to such Guaranteed Party, then such Guaranteed Party may effect all currency conversions with respect to any such Indebtedness as it considers appropriate in accordance with its normal practices by using its own rate of exchange in effect on the Business Day preceding that on which it exercised its rights under this Section 9.4. |
9.5 | No Duty to Disclose. Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that it is presently, and covenants that it will keep itself at any time and from time to time, fully informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of non-payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that none of the Guaranteed Parties, the Administrative Agent shall have any duty to disclose or report to any of the Guarantors any information now or hereafter known to them, relating to the business, assets, liabilities, financial position, results of operations or status of the Borrowers’ performance of their obligations under the Operative Documents. | |
9.6 | Limitation on Interest. The Guaranteed Parties and each of the Guarantors intend to fully comply with all applicable Laws limiting the amount of interest which may be contracted for, charged or received, and so in the event that any portion of the payments required hereunder from any of the Guarantors is determined to be interest, such payments shall be automatically limited to the portion thereof which, after taking into account all other interest contracted for, charged or received, shall not exceed the limit prescribed by applicable Law, and in the event the Guaranteed Parties shall have received |
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
any such amounts determined to be interest in excess of the amount permitted hereunder, the Guaranteed Parties shall apply such excess amounts to the other obligations of the Guarantors hereunder which do not constitute interest and shall return to the Guarantors any portion of the excess not so applied. |
9.7 | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. | |
9.8 | Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which 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 in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. | |
9.9 | Entire Agreement. With respect to the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto. | |
9.10 | Assignments by the Guarantors. The rights of the Guarantors hereunder are declared to be purely personal and may therefore not be assigned or transferred, nor can any Guarantor assign or transfer any of its obligations, any such assignment being null and void insofar as the Guaranteed Parties are concerned. | |
9.11 | Expenses. The Guarantors solidarily agree to pay all duly documented reasonable out-of pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Parties, the Administrative Agent or any one thereof in any effort to collect or enforce any of their obligations hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 9.11 be subject to each of the limitations and conditions contained in Section 13.9 of the Credit Agreement which shall apply to this Section 9.11 mutatis mutandis. | |
9.12 | Acknowledgment. Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that it has received and taken cognizance of an original executed copy of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and is familiar with all the provisions thereof. |
10.1 | Formal Date. For the purpose of convenience, this Agreement may be referred to as bearing formal date of December 20, 2004 irrespective of the actual date of its execution. |
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
