W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Lenders are willing to make available to the Borrowers the respective credit

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.
1.01 Commitments. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, (x) each Lender (other than a Canadian Lender in its capacity as
such) severally agrees to make a revolving loan or revolving loans to Workflow,
which revolving loans shall be made and maintained in Dollars (each a "Dollar
Revolving Loan" and, collectively, the "Dollar Revolving Loans") and (y) each
Canadian Lender severally agrees to make a revolving loan or revolving loans to
DBF, which revolving loans shall be made and maintained in Canadian Dollars
(each a "Canadian Revolving Loan" and, collectively, the "Canadian Revolving
Loans", and with the revolving loans made to the Borrowers pursuant to this
Section 1.01(a) being herein called a "Revolving Loan" and, collectively, the
"Revolving Loans"), which Revolving Loans:
(i) shall be made at any time and from time to time on and after the
Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date;
(ii) shall, in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, and at the option
of Workflow, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base
Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that (A) except as otherwise

same Borrowing shall be of the same Type and (B) prior to the Syndication
Date, Dollar Revolving Loans may only be incurred as Eurodollar Loans on
the first day of a PSD Interest Period;
(iii) shall, in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans, and at the
option of DBF, be made either by means of (x) Canadian Prime Rate Loans in
Canadian Dollars or (y) Bankers' Acceptances Loans in Canadian Dollars on
the terms and conditions provided for herein and in Annex III (the terms
and conditions of which shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this
Agreement);
(iv) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions
hereof;
(v) shall not be made (or be required to be made) by any Lender on any
date if, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Exposure of such
Lender would exceed the Commitment of such Lender at such time;
(vi) shall not, in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans, exceed for
any Canadian Lender at the time of the making of any such Canadian
Revolving Loans, and after giving effect thereto, that aggregate principal
amount or Face Amount, as the case may be, of such Canadian Revolving Loans
(for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount or
Face Amount, as the case may be, thereof) which, when added to the Dollar
Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount or Face Amount, as the case
may be, of all other Canadian Revolving Loans then outstanding from such
Canadian Lender, equals the Canadian Sub-Commitment of such Canadian Lender
at such time;
(vii) shall not, in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans, exceed for
all Canadian Lenders at the time of the making of any such Canadian
Revolving Loans, and after giving effect thereto, that aggregate principal
amount or Face Amount, as the case may be, of such Canadian Revolving Loans
(for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount or
Face Amount, as the case may be, thereof) which, when added to the Dollar
Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount or Face Amount, as the case
may be, of all other Canadian Revolving Loans then outstanding, equals the
Total Canadian Sub-Commitment at such time;
(viii) shall not, in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, exceed for
all Lenders at the time of the making of any such Dollar Revolving Loans,
and after giving effect thereto, that aggregate principal amount of such
Dollar Revolving Loans which, when added to the sum of (I) the aggregate
principal amount of all other Dollar Revolving Loans then outstanding, (II)
the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding and
(III) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such
time, equals the Total Dollar Sub-Commitment at such time; and
(ix) shall not, in the case of all Revolving Loans, be made at any
time if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Exposure would exceed the Total Commitment at such time.
(b) Revolving Loans may not be incurred as Acquisition Loans if, after
giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount or Face
Amount, as the case may be, of all Acquisition Loans (for this purpose, using
the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount or Face Amount, as the case may
be, of any Canadian Revolving Loans) would exceed the Acquisition Sub-Limit then
in effect.
(c) (A) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, BTCo
in its individual capacity agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on
and after the Effective Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving
loan or revolving loans to Workflow (each a "Swingline Loan" and, collectively,
the "Swingline Loans"), which Swingline Loans:
2
(i) shall be made and maintained in Dollars and as Base Rate Loans;
(ii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions
hereof;
(iii) shall not be made (or required to be made) on any date if, after
giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed
the Total Commitment at such time; and
(iv) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount.
(B) BTCo shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a
time when a Lender Default exists unless BTCo has entered into arrangements
satisfactory to it and Workflow to eliminate BTCo's risk with respect to the
Defaulting Lender's or Lenders' participation in such Swingline Loans, including
by cash collateralizing each such Defaulting Lender's Dollar Percentage of the
outstanding Swingline Loans. BTCo will not make a Swingline Loan after it has
received written notice from Workflow, any other Credit Party or the Required
Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as
(x) BTCo shall have received a written notice of (i) rescission of such notice
from the party or parties originally delivering the same or (ii) the waiver of
such Default or Event of Default from the Required Lenders or (y) the cure of
such Default or Event of Default.
(C) On any Business Day, BTCo may, in its sole discretion, give
notice to the Lenders that its outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with
a Borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans (provided that each such notice shall be
deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 9.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies
provided in the last paragraph of Section 9), in which case a Borrowing or
Borrowings of Dollar Revolving Loans, as the case may be, constituting Base Rate
Loans (each such Borrowing or Borrowings, collectively, a "Mandatory Borrowing")
shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders pro rata
based on each Lender's Dollar Percentage or, if a Sharing Event then exists, pro
rata based on each Lenders' Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be
applied directly to repay BTCo for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Lender
hereby irrevocably agrees to make Dollar Revolving Loans upon one Business Day's
notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner
specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by BTCo
notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply
with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any
conditions specified in Section 5 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such
Mandatory Borrowing and (v) the amount of, or termination of, the Total
Commitment at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for
any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without
limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy
Code in respect of Workflow), each Lender (other than BTCo) hereby agrees that
it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from Workflow on
or after such date and prior to such purchase) from
3
BTCo such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be
necessary to cause such Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based
upon their respective Dollar Percentages or, if a Sharing Event exists on the
date otherwise required above, pro rata based upon their respective Percentages,
provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the
account of BTCo until the date as of which the respective participation is
required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased
participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and
(y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is
actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay BTCo interest on
the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and
including the day upon which the respective participation would otherwise have
occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first day and at the rate otherwise
applicable to Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for
each day thereafter.
(d) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Lender severally agrees that Workflow may, in accordance with the procedures
established pursuant to Section 1.04, incur a loan or loans (each a "Competitive
Bid Loan" and, collectively, the "Competitive Bid Loans"), denominated in
Dollars, pursuant to a Competitive Bid Borrowing at any time and from time to
time after the Effective Date and prior to the date which is 45 days prior to
the Final Maturity Date, provided that no Competitive Bid Loan may be made if,
after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would
exceed the Total Commitment as then in effect. Within the foregoing limits and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 1.04 and 5,
Competitive Bid Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the
provisions hereof. Competitive Bid Loans may not be incurred as Acquisition
Loans if, after giving thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount or
Face Amount, as the case may be, of all Acquisition Loans (for this purpose,
using the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount or Face Amount, as the case
may be, of any Canadian Revolving Loans) would exceed the Acquisition Sub-Limit
then in effect.
1.02 Minimum Borrowing Amounts, etc. The aggregate principal amount of each
Borrowing of Loans (other than Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory
Borrowing) shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
thereto. More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any day, provided that at no
time shall there be outstanding more than ten Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans (or
such greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans as is acceptable to the
Agent).
1.03 Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires to incur
Revolving Loans hereunder (excluding (x) Revolving Loans incurred pursuant to a
Mandatory Borrowing and (y) Borrowings of Canadian Prime Rate Loans to the
extent resulting from automatic conversions of Bankers' Acceptance Loans as
provided in clause (i) of Annex III), such Borrower shall give the Agent at the
Notice Office, (x) prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time), at least three Business

to 11:00 A.M. (New York time), at least one Business Day's prior written notice
(or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans or Canadian Prime
4
Rate Loans. Each such notice (each, a "Notice of Borrowing") shall, except as
provided in Section 1.11(a) or (b), be irrevocable, and, in the case of each
written notice and each written confirmation of telephonic notice, shall be in
the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate
principal amount (or Face Amount, as the case may be) of the Revolving Loans to
be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in the Applicable Currency); (ii)
the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) in the case of
Dollar Revolving Loans, whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of Base
Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if
Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto; (iv)
in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans, whether the Canadian Revolving Loans
being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Canadian
Prime Rate Loans or Bankers' Acceptance Loans and, if Bankers' Acceptance Loans,
the term thereof (which shall comply with the requirements of clause (a) of
Annex III); and (v) the respective portions of such Borrowing to constitute
Acquisition Loans and Working Capital Loans.
(b) (i) Whenever Workflow desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder,
Workflow shall give BTCo no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the day
such Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of such Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify in each case (x) the date of such incurrence
(which shall be a Business Day) and (y) the aggregate principal amount of the
Swingline Loan requested to be made.
(ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in
Section 1.01(c)(C), with Workflow irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any
Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such
Section 1.01 (c) (C).
(c) The Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Revolving
Loans, of such Xxxxxx's proportionate share thereof, and of the other matters
covered by the respective Notice of Borrowing.
(d) Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to confirm
in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Agent or
BTCo (in the case of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans), as the case may be, may
prior to receipt of written confirmation act without liability upon the basis of
such telephonic notice, believed by the Agent or BTCo in good faith to be from
the president, any vice-president or any Authorized Financial Officer of such
Borrower, or from any other authorized officer of such Xxxxxxxx designated in
writing by such Borrower to the Agent as being authorized to give such notices.
In each such case, each Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Agent's
or BTCo's record of the terms of such telephonic notice.
1.04 Competitive Bid Borrowings. (a) Whenever Workflow desires to incur a
Competitive Bid Borrowing, Workflow shall deliver to the Agent at the Notice
Office prior to 11:00 A.M (New York time), at least three Business Days prior to
the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, a written notice
substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each a
5
"Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing"), such notice to specify in each case (i)
the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing (which shall be a Business
Day), (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the proposed Competitive Bid
Borrowing (which shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
thereto), (iii) the maturity date (each a "Competitive Bid Loan Maturity Date")
for repayment of each Competitive Bid Loan to be made as part of such
Competitive Bid Borrowing (which maturity date may not be earlier than seven
days after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing or later than 360 days
after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing (but in no event later than the
thirtieth day preceding the Final Maturity Date)), (iv) the interest payment
date or dates relating thereto (which shall be at least every three months in
the case of maturities in excess of three months), and (v) any other terms to be
applicable to such Competitive Bid Borrowing (although all Competitive Bid
Borrowings shall be required to be made, and maintained, in Dollars). The Agent
shall promptly notify each Bidder Lender of each such request for a Competitive
Bid Borrowing received by it from Workflow by telecopying to each such Bidder
Lender a copy of the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(b) Each Bidder Lender shall, if in its sole discretion it elects to do so,
irrevocably offer to make one or more Competitive Bid Loans to Workflow as part
of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest
specified by such Bidder Lender in its sole discretion and determined by such
Bidder Lender independently of each other Bidder Lender, by notifying the Agent
in writing (which notice shall be promptly distributed to Workflow, provided
that the Agent shall not be liable to any Bidder Lender or to Workflow for
failure to distribute any such notice to Workflow unless such failure resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent (as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction)), before 10:00 A.M.
(New York time) on the date (the "Reply Date") which is two Business Days before
the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the minimum amount, if
any, and maximum amount of each Competitive Bid Loan which such Bidder Lender
would be willing to make as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing
(which amounts may, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section
1.01(d), exceed such Xxxxxx's Commitment) and the rate or rates of interest
therefor; provided, that if the Agent in its capacity as a Bidder Lender shall,
in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify Workflow
in writing of such offer before 9:30 A.M. (New York time) on the Reply Date. If
any Bidder Lender shall elect not to make such an offer, such Bidder Lender
shall so notify the Agent, before 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on the Reply Date,
and such Bidder Lender shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any
Competitive Bid Loan as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; provided, that
the failure by any Bidder Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Bidder
Lender to be obligated to, and such Bidder Lender shall not, make any
Competitive Bid Loan as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(c) Workflow shall, in turn, before 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the Reply
Date, either
(1) cancel such Competitive Bid Borrowing by giving the Agent notice
(in writing or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to that effect,
or
6
(2) accept one or more of the offers made by any Bidder Lender or
Bidder Lenders pursuant to clause (b) above by giving notice (in writing or
by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Agent of the amount of each
Competitive Bid Loan (which amount shall be equal to or greater than the
minimum amount, if any, and equal to or less than the maximum amount,
notified to Workflow by the Agent on behalf of each such Bidder Lender for
such Competitive Bid Borrowing) and reject any remaining offers made by
Bidder Lenders pursuant to clause (b) above by giving the Agent notice to
that effect; provided that acceptance of offers may only be made on the
basis of ascending Absolute Rates commencing with the lowest rate so
offered; provided further, however, if offers are made by two or more
Bidder Lenders at the same rate and acceptance of all such equal offers
would result in a greater principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans being
accepted than the aggregate principal amount requested by Workflow,
Workflow shall have the right to accept one or more such equal offers in
their entirety and reject the other equal offer or offers or to allocate
acceptance among all such equal offers (but giving effect to the minimum
amounts, if any, and maximum amounts specified for each such offer pursuant
to clause (b) above), as Workflow may elect in its sole discretion.
(d) If Workflow notifies the Agent that such Competitive Bid Borrowing is
canceled pursuant to clause (c)(1) above, the Agent shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the Bidder Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall
not be made.
(e) If Workflow accepts one or more of the offers made by any Bidder Lender
or Bidder Lenders pursuant to clause (c)(2) above, the Agent shall in turn
promptly notify (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) (x) each
Bidder Lender that has made an offer as described in clause (b) above, of the
date and aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing and whether or not
any offer or offers made by such Bidder Lender pursuant to clause (b) above have
been accepted by such Borrower and (y) each Bidder Lender that is to make a
Competitive Bid Loan as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the amount of
each Competitive Bid Loan to be made by such Bidder Lender as part of such
Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(f) On the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, the Agent shall
notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the aggregate principal amount of
Competitive Bid Loans outstanding to Workflow at such time.
1.05 Disbursement of Funds. (a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on
the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline
Loans, no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in the
notice delivered pursuant to Section 1.03(b), (y) in the case of Mandatory
Borrowings, no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in
Section 1.01(c)(C), or (z) in the case of Competitive Bid Loans, no later than
1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 1.04(a)),
each Lender (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Canadian Revolving Loans, each
Canadian Lender) will make available its pro rata share of each Borrowing
requested to be made on such date (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, BTCo
shall make available the full amount thereof and (y) in the case of Competitive
Bid Loans, the respective Bidder Lenders which are to make such Competitive
7
Bid Loans in accordance with Section 1.04(e) shall make available their
respective amounts thereof) in the manner provided below. All amounts shall be
made available to the Agent in Dollars (in the case of Dollar Loans) or Canadian
Dollars (in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans), as the case may be, and
immediately available funds at the appropriate Payment Office and, except for
Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, the Agent promptly will
make available to the respective Borrower by depositing to its account at the
appropriate Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the
type of funds received. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender
prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make
available to the Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on
such date, the Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such amount available
to the Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Agent, in reliance upon such
assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so)
make available to the respective Borrower a corresponding amount. If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender
and the Agent has made available same to the respective Borrower, the Agent
shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such
Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Agent's demand
therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the respective Borrower, and such
Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent
shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or such Borrower, as the case
may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the
date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to such Borrower
to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent, at a rate per
annum equal to (x) if paid by such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or
(y) if paid by such Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated
in accordance with Section 1.09, for the respective Loans.
(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its
obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which
any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such
Xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx.
1.06 Notes; etc.. (a) Each Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of
(or the Face Amount of, as the case may be), and interest on, all the Loans made
to such Borrower by each Lender shall be set forth in the Register maintained by
the Agent pursuant to Section 12.17 and shall, if requested by any Lender, also

Amount of any Bankers' Acceptances) evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such
notation, or any error in such notation, shall not affect the respective
Borrower's obligations in respect of such Loans.
1.07 Conversions. (a) Workflow shall have the option to convert on any
Business Day all or a portion at least equal to the applicable Minimum Borrowing
Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Dollar Revolving Loans of one Type

conversion of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans may be made prior to the
Syndication Date except for a conversion made on the first day of a PSD Interest

Workflow by giving the Agent at the Notice Office, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York
time), at least three Business Days' (or one Business Day's in the case of a
conversion into Base Rate Loans) prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) (each a "Notice of Conversion") specifying the
Dollar Revolving Loans to be so converted, the Type of Dollar Revolving Loans to
be converted into and, if to be converted into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans,
the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Agent shall give
each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of such
Xxxxxx's Dollar Revolving Loans.
(b) Mandatory conversions of Bankers' Acceptance Loans into Canadian Prime
Rate Loans shall be made in the circumstances, and to the extent, provided in
clause (i) of Xxxxx XXX. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately
preceding sentence and as provided in clause (i) of Xxxxx XXX, Bankers'
Acceptance Loans shall not be permitted to be converted into Canadian Prime Rate
Loans, and Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall not be permitted to be converted into
Bankers' Acceptance Loans. However, subject to compliance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, DBF may from time to time repay Canadian Revolving
Loans of one Type made to it and, concurrently therewith, may borrow another
Type of Canadian Revolving Loans permitted to be incurred by it.

1.08 Pro Rata Borrowings. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.16(b) and
in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, Section 1.01(c)(C) and in the case of
Bankers' Acceptance Loans, clause (e) of Annex III, (i) all Borrowings of Dollar
Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on
the basis of their Dollar Percentages and (ii) all Borrowings of Canadian
Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Canadian Lenders pro
rata on the basis of their Canadian Percentages. It is understood that no Lender
shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to
make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans
required to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other
Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.
1.09 Interest. (a) Workflow agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Base Rate Loan made to it from the date of the
Borrowing thereof until the conversion or maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum which shall at all times
be the sum of the Applicable Base Rate/Canadian Prime Rate Margin plus the Base
Rate, each as in effect from time to time.
(b) Workflow agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal
amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof
until the conversion or maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such
Eurodollar Loan at a rate per annum which shall, at all times during each
Interest Period applicable thereto, be the sum of the Applicable Eurodollar
Margin as in effect from time to time plus the relevant Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period.
(c) DBF agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of
each Canadian Prime Rate Loan made to it from the date the proceeds thereof are
made available to it (which shall, in the case of a conversion pursuant to
clause (i) of Annex III, be deemed to be the date upon which a maturing Bankers'
Acceptance is converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan pursuant to said clause
(i), with the proceeds thereof to be equal to the full Face Amount of the
maturing Bankers' Acceptances) until the maturity thereof (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum
of the Applicable Base Rate/Canadian Prime Rate Margin plus the Canadian Prime
Rate, each as in effect from time to time.
(d) With respect to Bankers' Acceptance Loans, Acceptance Fees shall be
payable in connection therewith as provided in clause (g) of Xxxxx XXX. Until
maturity of the respective Banker's Acceptances, interest shall not otherwise be
payable with respect thereto.
(e) Workflow agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal
amount of each Competitive Bid Loan made to it from the date the proceeds
thereof are made available to it until the maturity thereof (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) at the rate or rates per annum specified pursuant to
Section 1.04(b) by the Bidder Lender or Bidder Lenders, as the case may be,
making such Competitive Bid Loan and accepted by Workflow pursuant to Section
1.04(c)(2).
(f) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest
in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in
each case, bear interest at a rate per annum (i) in the case of overdue
principal of, and interest or other amounts
11
owing with respect to, Canadian Revolving Loans and any other amounts owing in
Canadian Dollars, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest
otherwise applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans from time to time, and (ii) in
all other cases, equal to the greater of (x) 2% per annum in excess of the rate
otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time and (y) the rate which
is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 1.09(f), so long as any Canadian
Revolving Loans are secured by Real Property located in Canada, overdue
principal in respect of any Canadian Revolving Loans shall bear interest at the
rate otherwise applicable thereto pursuant to Section 1.09(c) unless a higher
rate of interest is then permitted under applicable law, in which case such
higher rate of interest shall apply subject to the provisions of this Section
1.09(f).
(g) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing of
any Loan to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable
(i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan and Canadian Prime Rate Loan, quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each April, July, October and January, (ii)
in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period
applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period of six months, on the
date occurring three months after the first day of such Interest Period, (iii)
in respect of each Competitive Bid Loan, at such times as specified in the
Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing relating thereto and (iv) in respect of each
Loan (other than Bankers' Acceptances), on any prepayment or conversion (on the
amount prepaid or converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
and, after such maturity, on demand, provided, that in the case of Dollar
Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans, interest shall not be payable
pursuant to the preceding clause (iv) at the time of any repayment or prepayment
thereof unless the respective repayment or prepayment is made in conjunction
with a permanent reduction of the Total Commitment.
(h) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with
Section 12.07(b).
(i) The Agent, upon determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans for any Interest Period, shall promptly notify Workflow and the
Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final
and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
1.10 Interest Periods. At the time Workflow gives a Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period
applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the third Business
Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans, Workflow shall have the right to elect, by giving the Agent
written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), the
Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at
the option of Workflow, be a one, two, three or six month period, provided that:
(i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times
have the same Interest Period;
12
(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans
shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any
conversion from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest Period
occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day
on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;
(iii) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no
numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such
Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of
such calendar month;
(iv) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is
not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
succeeding Business Day, provided, that if any Interest Period would
otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the
month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such
Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;
(v) subject to the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), only a one
month Interest Period shall be available to be selected prior to the
Syndication Date, with all Dollar Revolving Loans constituting Eurodollar
Loans during such period to be outstanding pursuant to a single Borrowing,
with all such Borrowings to commence and end on the same day;
(vi) no Interest Period may be elected if it would extend beyond the
Final Maturity Date; and
(vii) no Interest Period may be elected at any time when a Default or
an Event of Default is then in existence.
If upon the expiration of any Interest Period, Workflow has failed to, or is not
permitted to, elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to the respective
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans as provided above, Workflow shall be deemed to
have elected to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans
effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.
1.11 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that (x) in the
case of clauses (i) and (iv) below, the Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii)
and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined (which determination shall,
absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto):
(i) on any date for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest
Period, that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this
Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair
means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the
basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or
(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or
reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to
any Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans because of (x) any change
since the date of this Agreement in any
13
applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request
(whether or not having the force of law), or in the interpretation or
administration thereof and including the adoption or introduction of any
new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request, such
as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation
of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans, the
Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the
rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of
such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is
organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is
located or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change in official
reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under
Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar
Rate and/or (y) other circumstances since the date of this Agreement
affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of
such Lender in such market; or
(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar
Loan or Competitive Bid Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or
governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any
Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having
force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring
after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the
interbank Eurodollar market; or
(iv) at any time that Canadian Dollars are not available in sufficient
amounts, as determined in good faith by the Agent, to fund any Borrowing of
Canadian Revolving Loans requested pursuant to Section 1.01;
then, and in any such event, the Agent (in the case of clause (i) or (iv) above)
or such Lender shall give notice (by telephone confirmed promptly in writing) to
the respective Borrower or Borrowers and (except in the case of clauses (i) and
(iv)) to the Agent of such determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly
transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i)
above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the
Agent notifies Workflow and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice by the Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion given by Workflow with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not
yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by Workflow, (x) in the case of
clause (ii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers agree to pay to such
Lender, upon written demand therefor (accompanied by the written notice referred
to below), such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a
different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its
sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender
for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable
hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender,
showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to
such Borrower or Borrowers by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final
and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), (y) in the case of clause
(iii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall take one of the actions
specified in Section 1.11(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within
the time period required by law and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above,
Canadian Revolving Loans (exclusive of Canadian Revolving Loans which have
theretofore been funded)
14
shall no longer be available until such time as the Agent notifies the Borrowers
and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Agent
no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing given by any Borrower with respect
to such Canadian Revolving Loans which have not been incurred shall be deemed
rescinded by the respective Borrower.
(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid Loan is
affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), the
respective Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid
Loan affected pursuant to Section 1.11(a)(iii) the respective Borrower shall)
either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid Loan is then being
made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Agent
telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that
such Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 1.11(a)(ii) or
(iii)), or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid Loan is then
outstanding, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the Agent, (A) in the
case of a Eurodollar Loan, require the affected Lender to convert each such
Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the
circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the
last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (or such
earlier date as shall be required by applicable law)) and (B) in the case of a
Competitive Bid Loan, repay such Competitive Bid Loan in full; provided, that if
more than one Lender is affected at any time as described above in this clause
(b), then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section
1.11(b).
(c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the date hereof, the
adoption, introduction or effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or
regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, 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 such Lender with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained
by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence
of such Lender's Commitment or obligation hereunder, then from time to time,
upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrowers
jointly and severally shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as shall
be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the
increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the
rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such
increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will
act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods
which are reasonable, provided that such Lender's determination of compensation
owing under this Section 1.11(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining
that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.11(c),
will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall
show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts,
although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the
Borrowers' obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section
1.11(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.
15
1.12 Compensation. The respective Borrower or Borrowers agree to compensate
each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all
reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any
loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans
or Competitive Bid Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profit with respect
to any Loans) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a
default by such Lender or the Agent) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or
Competitive Bid Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of
Borrowing, Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether
or not withdrawn or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.11(a) or (b)); (ii)
if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02
or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9) or
conversion of any Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of
an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any repayment (including any
repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 or as a result of an
acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9) of any Competitive Bid Loans or
Bankers' Acceptance Loans occurs on a date which is not the maturity date of the
respective Competitive Bid Loans or Bankers' Acceptance, as the case may be;
(iv) if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Loans, Competitive Bid Loans or
Bankers' Acceptance Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of
prepayment given by the respective Borrower or Borrowers; or (v) as a
consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower or Borrowers to repay its
Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) an election made
pursuant to Section 1.11(b).
1.13 Lending Offices; Changes Thereto. (a) Each Lender may at any time or
from time to time designate, by written notice to the Agent to the extent not
already reflected on Annex II, one or more lending offices (which, for this
purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Loans
made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender (including by
designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act as such with respect
to Dollar Loans and Letter of Credit Outstanding versus Canadian Revolving
Loans); provided that, for designations made after the Effective Date, to the
extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 1.11, 2.05
or 4.04 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 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
hereunder).
(b) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise
to the operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), 1.11(c), 2.05 or 4.04 with
respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower, use
reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to
designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by
such event; provided, that such designation is made on such terms that, in the
16
sole judgment of such Lender, such Lender and its lending office suffer no
economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the
consequences of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section.
Nothing in this Section 1.13 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of
any Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04.
1.14 Replacement of Lenders. (a) (i) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans or fund Unpaid
Drawings, (ii) if any Lender refuses to consent to certain proposed changes,
waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have
been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section
12.12(b) or (iii) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation
of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.11(c), Section 2.05 or Section 4.04
with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to any Borrower
increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders,
the Borrowers shall have the right, in accordance with the requirements of
Section 12.04(b), if no Event of Default will exist after giving effect to such
replacement, to replace such Lender (the "Replaced Lender") with an Eligible
Transferee or Transferees, none of which shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at
the time of such replacement (collectively, the "Replacement Lender"), and each
of whom shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Letter of Credit
Issuer, provided that (A) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this
Section 1.14, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and
Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 12.04(b) (and with the assignment fee
payable pursuant to said Section 12.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender)
pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the entire Commitment
(including any Canadian Sub-Commitment) and all outstanding Loans of, and in
each case participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit by, the
Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay (x) to the Replaced
Lender in respect thereof an amount (in the respective currencies in which such
Obligations are denominated) equal to the sum of (I) an amount equal to the
principal of (including, without limitation, the Face Amount of Bankers'
Acceptance Loans), and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the
Replaced Lender, (II) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that have been
funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then
unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (III) an amount equal to
all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant
to Section 3.01, (y) to the Letter of Credit Issuer an amount equal to such
Replaced Lender's Dollar Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing (which at such time
remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded
by such Replaced Lender and (z) to BTCo an amount equal to such Replaced
Lender's Dollar Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount
was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (B) all obligations of
the Borrowers owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically
described in clause (A) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price
has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced
Lender concurrently with such replacement.
(b) Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption
Agreements, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of Section
1.14(a) and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the
Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the respective
Borrowers, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the
Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except
17
with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to the Replaced Lender
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2.05,
4.04, 12.01 and 12.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.
1.15 Bankers' Acceptance Provisions. The parties hereto agree that the
provisions of Xxxxx XXX shall apply to all Bankers' Acceptances and Bankers'
Acceptance Loans created hereunder, and that the provisions of Xxxxx XXX shall
be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement as if such provisions
were set forth in their entirety herein.
1.16 Special Provisions Regarding Canadian Revolving Loans. (a) On the
fifth Business Day after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, automatically (and
without the taking of any action) (x) all then outstanding Canadian Revolving
Loans shall be automatically converted into Dollar Revolving Loans (in an amount
equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount or Face Amount,
as the case may be, of the Canadian Revolving Loans on the date such Sharing
Event first occurred, which Dollar Revolving Loans (i) shall be owed by DBF,
(ii) shall thereafter be deemed to be Base Rate Loans and (iii) shall be
immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing Event has occurred) and (y)
all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to such
Canadian Revolving Loans shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars, taking
the Dollar Equivalent of such accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, each Lender shall (and hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to) purchase and sell (in each case in
Dollars) undivided participating interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding
to, and any Unpaid Drawings owing by, each Borrower in such amounts so that each
Lender shall have a share of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings
then owing by each Borrower equal to its Percentage thereof. Upon any such
occurrence the Agent shall notify each Lender and shall specify the amount of
Dollars required from such Lender in order to effect the purchases and sales by
the various Lenders of participating interests in the amounts required above
(together with accrued interest with respect to the period for the last interest
payment date through the date of the Sharing Event plus any additional amounts
payable by any respective Borrower pursuant to Section 4.04 in respect of such
accrued but unpaid interest); provided, in the event that a Sharing Event shall
have occurred, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, automatically and
without request, such participating interests. Promptly upon receipt of such
request, each Lender shall deliver to the Agent (in immediately available funds
in Dollars) the net amounts as specified by the Agent. The Agent shall promptly
deliver the amounts so received to the various Lenders in such amounts as are
needed to effect the purchases and sales of participations as provided above.
Promptly following receipt thereof, each Lender which has sold participations in
any of its Revolving Loans (through the Agent) will deliver to each Lender
(through the Agent) which has so purchased a participating interest a
participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such
amount. It is understood that the amount of funds delivered by each Lender shall
be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to both the sales and purchases of
participations by the various Lenders as required above.
18
(c) Upon, and after, the occurrence of a Sharing Event (i) no further
Canadian Revolving Loans shall be made to DBF, (ii) all amounts from time to
time accruing with respect to, and all amounts from time to time payable on
account of, such Canadian Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, any
interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such
purchase) shall be payable in Dollars as if such Canadian Revolving Loan had
originally been made in Dollars and shall be distributed by the relevant Lenders
(or their affiliates) to the Agent for the account of the Lenders which made
such Loans or are participating therein and (iii) the Canadian Sub-Commitments
of the various Canadian Lenders shall be automatically terminated.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the failure of any
Lender to purchase its participating interest in any Revolving Loans upon the
occurrence of a Sharing Event shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interests in a timely manner,
but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other Lender on any
date.
(d) If any amount required to be paid by any Lender pursuant to Section
1.16(b) is not paid to the Agent within one Business Day following the date upon
which such Lender receives notice from the Agent of the amount of its
participations required to be purchased pursuant to said Section 1.16(b), such
Lender shall also pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of
(i) the amount so required to be paid by such Lender for the purchase of its
participations times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate, during
the period from and including the date of request for payment to the date on
which such payment is immediately available to the Agent times (iii) a fraction
the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed during such period and
the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any
Lender pursuant to Section 1.16(b) is not in fact made available to the Agent
within three Business Days following the date upon which such Xxxxxx receives
notice from the Agent as to the amount of participations required to be
purchased by it, the Agent shall be entitled to recover from such Lender on
demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such request date at
the rate per annum applicable to Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate
Loans hereunder. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect
to any amounts payable under this Section 1.16 shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. Amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to this
Section 1.16 shall be paid to the Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders;
provided that, if the Agent (in its sole discretion) has elected to fund on
behalf of such Lender the amounts owing to such Lenders, then the amounts shall
be paid to the Agent for its own account.
(e) Whenever, at any time after the relevant Lenders have received from any
Lenders purchases of participations in any Revolving Loans pursuant to this
Section 1.16, the Lenders receive any payment of account thereof, such Lenders
will distribute to the Agent, for the account of the various Lenders
participating therein, such Lenders' participating interests in such amounts
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period
of time during which such participations were outstanding) in like funds as
received; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by any
Lenders is required to be returned, the Lenders who received previous
distributions in respect of their participating interests therein
19
will return to the respective Lenders any portion thereof previously so
distributed to them in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by
the respective Lenders.
(f) Each Lender's obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant
to this Section 1.16 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (a) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against any other Lender, the relevant Borrower or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever, (b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, (c)
any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower or
any other Person, (d) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any Lender
or any other Person, or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required above, each Lender
which has purchased such participations shall be entitled to receive from the
relevant Borrowers any increased costs and indemnities (including, without
limitation, pursuant to Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2.05 and 4.04) directly from the
Borrowers to the same extent as if it were the direct Lender as opposed to a
participant therein, which increased costs shall be calculated without regard to
Section 1.13, Section 12.04(a) or the last sentence of Section 12.04(b). The
Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and
after giving effect to the requirements of this Section 1.16, increased Taxes
may be owing by them pursuant to Section 4.04, which Taxes shall be paid (to the
extent provided in Section 4.04) by the respective Borrowers, without any claim
that the increased Taxes are not payable because same resulted from the
participations effected as otherwise required by this Section 1.16.
1.17 Certain Override Provisions Regarding Utilizations of the
Total Canadian Sub-Commitment. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that (i) the Total
Canadian Sub-Commitment shall be fixed on a quarterly basis in accordance with
this Section 1.17, (ii) in no event shall the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment
exceed the least of (x) $50,000,000, (y) the sum of the Canadian Sub-Commitments
of the various Canadian Lenders as then in effect (after giving effect to any
reductions to such Canadian Sub-Commitments from time to time, including
pursuant to Sections 3.02, 3.03 and/or 9) and (z) the Total Commitment then in
effect, (iii) in no event shall the Canadian Sub-Commitment for any Canadian
Lender exceed the amount set forth opposite such Canadian Lender's name in Annex
I-B directly below the column entitled "Canadian Sub-Commitment," as the same
may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Sections 3.02, 3.03 and/or 9 or as
the same may be further adjusted from time to time as a result of assignments to
or from such Lender pursuant to Section 1.14 or 12.04(b), (iv) at no time shall
Workflow be permitted to request an extension of credit pursuant to the Total
Commitment (whether in the form of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Competitive
Bid Loans or Letter of Credit Outstandings) and no such credit shall be made
available if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Revolving Loans (excluding for this purpose Canadian
Revolving Loans), Swingline Loans and Competitive Bid Loans and the amount of
Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time would exceed an amount equal to the
Total
20
Commitment as then in effect less the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment as then in
effect, (v) at no time shall DBF be permitted to request an extension of credit
in the form of Canadian Revolving Loans if, after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate principal (and Face Amount, as applicable) of outstanding Canadian
Revolving Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the principal
and/or Face Amount, as appropriate, of Canadian Revolving Loans) would at any
time exceed the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment; and (vi) the Canadian
Sub-Commitment for any Canadian Lender at any time shall be an amount equal to
its pro rata share of the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment at such time determined
on the basis of the Canadian Percentages of the various Canadian Lenders. At all
times from and after the date of this Agreement until an adjustment is made in
accordance with this Section 1.17, the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment shall be
$25,000,000.
(b) Workflow, not more than 30 days and not less than 5 Business Days prior
to the last day of each calendar quarter, shall give written notice to the Agent
either (x) requesting an adjustment (subject to the limitations set forth in
clause (a) of this Section 1.17) effective as of the first Business Day of the
immediately following calendar quarter (each such date an "Adjustment Date") to
the amount of the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment; or (y) confirming that there
will be no adjustments to the amount available under the Total Canadian
Sub-Commitment, provided that (i) no reduction to the amount of the Total
Canadian Sub-Commitment may be made if, after giving effect to any such
reduction, the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment would be less than the sum of the
aggregate Face Amount of all Bankers' Acceptance Loans and the principal amount
of all Canadian Prime Rate Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent
of the Face Amounts or principal amounts thereof) then outstanding (other than
any such Canadian Revolving Loans which will be repaid in full on or before the
respective Adjustment Date) and (ii) the failure by Workflow to deliver any such
written notice (or the delivery by Workflow of any such notice which does not
comply with the requirements contained in this Section) to the Agent within the
period required above will be deemed to be delivery by Workflow to the Agent of
a written notice that there will be no adjustment to the Total Canadian
Sub-Commitment. If any adjustment is made on an Adjustment Date as described in
this Section, then on the respective Adjustment Date all repayments requested by
this Section and Section 4.02(a) shall be made on such date to the extent
required as a result of such adjustments and in manner provided in Section 4.02.
(c) In connection with any loans and/or repayments made as a result of
adjustments to the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment and the Canadian Sub-Commitment
for any Canadian Lender as requested above, then, so long as arrangements
satisfactory to the Agent are made for the repayment of all amounts which will
be due on the respective Adjustment Date as a result thereof, loans shall be
permitted to be requested by the Borrowers as a result of any change in the
amount of the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment on such date (subject to
satisfaction of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement) so long as
arrangements satisfactory to the Agent are made so that, by the time required by
Section 4.03, all payments will be made by the Borrowers on such Adjustment Date
as a result of any change in the amount of the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment, on
such date. It is understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any
liability to any Lenders if the payments contemplated above in this Section are
not actually made on the Adjustment Date, and that any failure to make the
payments required to be
21
made on an Adjustment Date pursuant to this Section or Section 4.02(a) shall
constitute an Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 9.01.
SECTION 2. Letters of Credit.
2.01 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein, Workflow may request the Letter of Credit Issuer at any time
and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the 30th day
prior to the Final Maturity Date to issue, for the account of Workflow and in
support of (x) trade obligations and other obligations of Workflow or any of its
Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business and (y) such other
obligations of Workflow or any of its Subsidiaries to any other Person that are
reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, and subject
to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Letter of Credit
Issuer agrees to issue from time to time, irrevocable letters of credit in such
form as may be approved by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Agent (each such
letter of credit, a "Letter of Credit" and, collectively, the "Letters of
Credit").
(b) The Letter of Credit Issuer hereby agrees that it will (subject to the
terms and conditions contained herein), at any time and from time to time on and
after the Effective Date and prior to the 30th day prior to the Final Maturity
Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue
for the account of Workflow, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, one or more Letters of Credit, provided that the Letter of Credit
Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if at the time
of such issuance:
(i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or
arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Letter of
Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law
applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority
with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or
request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of
letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall
impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of
Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which the
Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the
date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable, in effect or known to the Letter of Credit Issuer as of the
date hereof and which the Letter of Credit Issuer reasonably and in good
xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or
(ii) the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received notice from
Workflow, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the
issuance of such Letter of Credit of the type described in clause (v) of
Section 2.01(c).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Workflow,
the Letter of Credit Issuer and each of the other Lenders hereby acknowledge and
agree that the letter of credit, dated May 13, 1997, in the stated amount of
$1,000,000 and having the number S-11882 which was issued by the Letter of
Credit Issuer for the account of U.S. Office Products and for the benefit of
Toronto Dominion Bank under U.S. Office Products' previous credit agreement
22
agented by the Letter of Credit Issuer shall for all purposes of this Agreement
be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement for the account
of Workflow on the Effective Date and Workflow shall be fully obligated with
respect thereto. In addition, Workflow hereby authorizes the Letter of Credit
Issuer to amend such Letter of Credit to reflect that the account party is now
Workflow instead of U.S. Office Products.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued
the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at
such time, would exceed $5,000,000, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if,
after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would
exceed the Total Commitment at such time, (iii) each Letter of Credit shall have
an expiry date occurring not later than the earlier of (x) one year (or 180 days
in the case of a trade Letter of Credit) after such Letter of Credit's date of
issuance, provided that any standby Letter of Credit may be automatically
extendible for periods of up to one year so long as such standby Letter of
Credit provides that the Letter of Credit Issuer retains an option, satisfactory
to the Letter of Credit Issuer, to terminate such standby Letter of Credit
within a specified period of time prior to each scheduled extension date and (y)
the fifth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of trade Letters of Credit)
prior to the Final Maturity Date, (iv) each Letter of Credit shall be
denominated in Dollars and issued on a sight basis, and (v) the Letter of Credit
Issuer will not issue any Letter of Credit after it has received written notice
from Workflow, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders stating that a
Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as the Letter of Credit
Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice
from the party or parties originally delivering same or (y) a waiver of such
Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Lender Default exists,
the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit
unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to
it and Workflow to eliminate the Letter of Credit Issuer's risk with respect to
the participation in Letters of Credit of any Defaulting Lender or Lenders,
including by cash collateralizing any such Defaulting Lender's or Lenders'
Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings.
2.02 Letter of Credit Requests; Notices of Issuance. (a) Whenever Workflow
desires that a Letter of Credit be issued, Workflow shall give the Agent and the
Letter of Credit Issuer written notice thereof prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York
time) at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable
to the Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which
shall be a Business Day), which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit A-2
appropriately completed (each a "Letter of Credit Request"). Each Letter of
Credit Request shall include any other documents as the Letter of Credit Issuer
customarily requires in connection therewith.
(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a
representation and warranty by Workflow that (i) such Letter of Credit may be
issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section
2.01(c) and (ii) all of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5 shall
be met at the time of such issuance. Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has
received notice from Workflow, any other Credit Party or the Required
23
Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions
specified in Section 5 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such
Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.01(c), then the Letter of Credit Issuer
may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of Workflow in
accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer's usual and customary practices.
(c) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall, promptly upon its issuance of a
Letter of Credit, give the Agent and Workflow written notice thereof, in each
case accompanied by a copy to the Agent of the Letter of Credit or Letters of
Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer.
2.03 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) Workflow hereby
agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment to the Agent
in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the appropriate Payment Office,
for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any
Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid or disbursed until reimbursed, an
"Unpaid Drawing") promptly upon but no later than one Business Day after the
Letter of Credit Issuer notifies Workflow that such payment or disbursement has
occurred (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 9.05 shall have occurred and be
continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable
immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of
which are hereby waived by Workflow)), with interest on the amount so paid or
disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to
12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and
including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date the Letter of
Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum which shall be the
Applicable Base Rate/Canadian Prime Rate Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in
effect from time to time (plus an additional 2% per annum if not reimbursed by
the third Business Day after the date of such notice of such payment or
disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 9.05), with such interest to be payable on demand.
(b) Workflow's obligation under this Section 2.03 to reimburse the Letter
of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case,
interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment
which Workflow or any of its Subsidiaries may have or have had against the
Letter of Credit Issuer, the Agent, any Lender, the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit or any other Person, including, without limitation, any defense based
upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms
of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the
beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing, provided that Workflow shall not be
obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made
by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or
omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the
Letter of Credit Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction).
2.04 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by
the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer
shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender, and each such
Lender (each a "Participant") shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to
have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit
24
Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation,
to the extent of such Lender's Dollar Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each
substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of
Workflow under this Agreement with respect thereto (although Letter of Credit
Fees shall be payable directly to the Agent for the account of the Lenders as
provided in Section 3.01(b) and the Participants shall have no right to receive
any portion of any Facing Fees) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining
thereto; provided that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the
participations described above in this Section 2.04(a) shall be automatically
adjusted so that each Lender shall have a participation in all then outstanding
Letters of Credit, and related obligations as described above, in a percentage
equal to its Percentage (which adjustments shall occur concurrently with the
adjustments described in Section 1.16). Upon any change in the Commitments or
Dollar Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement (or in the
circumstances provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence,
upon any change in the Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement),
it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and
Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations
pursuant to this Section 2.04 to reflect the new Dollar Percentages or, in the
circumstances described in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence,
the new Percentages of the various Lenders.
(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Letter of
Credit Issuer shall not have any obligation relative to the Participants other
than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter
of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on
their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or
omitted to be taken by the Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with
any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction),
shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability to any
Person.
(c) In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under
any Letter of Credit and Workflow shall not have reimbursed such amount in full
to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(a), the Letter of Credit
Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify each
Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer,
the amount of such Participant's Dollar Percentage (or, after the occurrence of
a Sharing Event, its Percentage) of such payment in Dollars and in same day
funds, provided that no Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Agent its
Dollar Percentage (or Percentage, as the case may be) of such unreimbursed
amount for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a
Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer (as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). If the Agent so
notifies any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit
prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Participant shall
make available to the Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer such
Participant's Dollar Percentage (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event,
its Percentage) of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in Dollars
and in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so
made its Dollar Percentage (or Percentage, as the case may be) of the amount of
such payment available to the Agent for the account of the Letter of
25
Credit Issuer, such Participant agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of
the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand such amount, together with
interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid
to the Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate. The failure of any Participant to make available to the Agent
for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Dollar Percentage (or, after
the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its Percentage) of any payment under any
Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation
hereunder to make available to the Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit
Issuer its Dollar Percentage (or Percentage, as the case may be) of any payment
under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no
Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to
make available to the Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer such
other Participant's Dollar Percentage (or Percentage, as the case may be) of any
such payment.
(d) Whenever the Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment of a
reimbursement obligation as to which the Agent has received for the account
of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the Participants pursuant to
clause (c) above, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Agent and the
Agent shall promptly pay to each Participant which has paid its Dollar
Percentage thereof (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its
Percentage thereof), in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to
such Participant's Dollar Percentage (or Percentage, as the case may be) of
the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the actual
funding of the respective participations.
(e) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to the Agent for
the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit
shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense
or any other qualification or exception whatsoever (except as otherwise
expressly provided in the proviso to the first sentence in Section 2.04(c)) and
shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following
circumstances:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of
the other Credit Documents;
(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which
Workflow or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a
beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of
Credit, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or
any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between
Workflow or any such Subsidiary and the beneficiary named in any such
Letter of Credit);
(iii) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect;
(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance
or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or
26
(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.
2.05 Increased Costs. If at any time after the date hereof, the adoption,
introduction or effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change therein, 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 the Letter of Credit
Issuer or any Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall
either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital
adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by the Letter
of Credit Issuer or such Participant's participation therein, or (ii) impose on
the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant any other conditions affecting
this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such Participant's participation
therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the
Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant of issuing, maintaining or
participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant
hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of
Credit, then, upon written demand to Workflow by the Letter of Credit Issuer or
such Participant (a copy of which demand shall be sent by the Letter of Credit
Issuer or such Participant to the Agent), Workflow shall pay to the Letter of
Credit Issuer or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant for such increased
cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to Workflow by the Letter of Credit
Issuer or such Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate
shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant to the Agent),
setting forth the basis for the determination of such additional amount or
amounts necessary to compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant
as aforesaid shall be final and conclusive and binding on Workflow absent
manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not
release or diminish Workflow's obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.05 upon subsequent receipt of such certificate.
SECTION 3. Fees; Adjustments of Commitments.
3.01 Fees. (a) Workflow agrees to pay to the Agent for distribution to each
Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") for the period
from the Effective Date to but not including the date the Total Commitment has
been terminated, computed for each day at a rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage (as in effect from time to time) on the
daily average Unutilized Commitment of such Lender. Accrued Commitment Fees
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each
April, July, October and January of each year and the date upon which the Total
Commitment has been terminated.
(b) Workflow agrees to pay to the Agent for distribution to each Lender
(based on its Dollar Percentage or, for periods from and after the occurrence of
a Sharing Event, its Percentage), a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the
"Letter of Credit Fee") for the period from and including the date of issuance
of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration
of such Letter of Credit, computed for each day at a rate per annum
27
equal to the Applicable Eurodollar Margin (as in effect from time to time) on
the daily average Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of
Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business
Day of each April, July, October and January of each year and on the first day
on or after the termination of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of
Credit remain outstanding.
(c) Workflow agrees to pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer for the
account of the Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit
(the "Facing Fee") for the period from and including the date of issuance of
such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of
such Letter of Credit, computed for each day at a rate per annum equal to 1/4 of
1% on the daily average Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that in
no event shall the annual Facing Fee with respect to any Letter of Credit be
less than $500. Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each April, July, October and January of
each year and on the first day on or after the termination of the Total
Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.
(d) Workflow agrees to pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer upon
each issuance of, payment under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued
by it such amount as shall at the time of such issuance, payment or amendment be
the administrative charge which the Letter of Credit Issuer is customarily
charging for issuances of, payments under or amendments of comparable letters of
credit issued by it.
(e) At the time of the incurrence of each Bankers' Acceptance Loan,
Acceptance Fees shall be paid by DBF as required by, and in accordance with,
clause (g) of Xxxxx XXX.
(f) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, such
other fees as have been agreed to in writing from time to time by such Borrower
and the Agent.
(g) All computations of Fees shall be made in accordance with Section
12.07(b).
3.02 Voluntary Reduction of Commitments. (a) Upon at least three Business
Days' prior written notice to the Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the
Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), Workflow shall have the
right, without premium or penalty, to terminate or partially reduce the
Unutilized Total Commitment, which notice shall specify the portion of the
specified reduction which shall apply to the Unutilized Acquisition Sub-Limit as
required by the definition of Acquisition Sub-Limit, provided that any partial
reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) shall be in the amount of at least
$5,000,000 or any integral of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each reduction to
the Unutilized Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) shall apply to
permanently reduce the Commitments of the various Lenders pro rata based on
their respective Percentages. At the time of each reduction to the Commitment of
any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.02(a), Workflow shall specify the amount
of such reduction to apply to the Canadian Sub-Commitment of such Lender and to
the Dollar Sub-Commitment of such Lender (the sum of which must equal the
reduction to the Commitment of such Lender); provided that all Lenders with
Canadian Sub-Commitments shall be treated in a consistent fashion (i.e., with no
reductions, or with proportionate reductions, to their respective Canadian
Sub-Commitments) at the time of any reduction to the Unutilized Total
28
Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.02(a). In the absence of a designation by
Workflow pursuant to this Section 3.02, the amount of any reduction to the
Commitment of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall apply (i) first, to
reduce the Dollar Sub-Commitment of the respective Lender and (ii) second, to
the extent in excess thereof, to reduce the Canadian Sub-Commitment of such
Lender in each case on a pro rata basis.
(b) On any date Workflow may, at its option, permanently reduce or
terminate the Canadian Sub-Commitments by written notice to the Agent to such
effect (specifying the aggregate amount of reductions to the Canadian
Sub-Commitments); provided that (i) no such reduction shall be made in an amount
which would cause the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding aggregate
principal amount or Face Amount, as the case may be, of the Canadian Revolving
Loans to exceed the Canadian Sub-Commitments of the Canadian Lenders after
giving effect to the respective reduction pursuant to this clause (b), (ii) each
reduction pursuant to this clause (b) shall apply pro rata to reduce the
Canadian Sub-Commitments of the various Canadian Lenders (based upon the
relative amounts of such Canadian Sub-Commitments) and (iii) except to the
extent the reduction to the Canadian Sub-Commitments pursuant to this Section
3.02(b) is accompanied by a like reduction to the amount of the Total Commitment
pursuant to Section 3.02(a), the amount of each Lender's reduction to its
Canadian Sub-Commitment pursuant to this clause (b) shall result in a like
increase to its Dollar Sub-Commitment.
3.03 Mandatory Adjustments of Commitments, etc. (a) The Total Commitment
shall terminate on the Commitment Expiration Date unless the Effective Date has
occurred on or before such date.
(b) The Total Commitment shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date on
which a Change of Control occurs and (ii) the Final Maturity Date.
(c) On the date of receipt by Workflow and/or any of its Subsidiaries of
Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Total Commitment shall be permanently
reduced on such date by an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset
Sale, provided that such reduction shall not be required to the extent that
Workflow elects, as hereinafter provided, to cause such Net Cash Proceeds to be
reinvested in Reinvestment Assets (such election, together with any election
made pursuant to Section 3.03(d), a "Reinvestment Election"). Workflow may
exercise its Reinvestment Election with respect to an Asset Sale if (x) no
Default or Event of Default exists and (y) Workflow delivers a Reinvestment
Notice to the Agent on the date of the consummation of the respective Asset
Sale, with such Reinvestment Election being effective with respect to the Net
Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale equal to the Anticipated Reinvestment Amount
specified in such Reinvestment Notice.
(d) On the Business Day following the date of receipt by Workflow and/or
any of its Subsidiaries of Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event, the Total
Commitment shall be permanently reduced on such date by an amount equal to the
Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery Event, provided that such reduction
shall not be required to the extent that Workflow elects, as hereinafter
provided, to cause such Net Insurance Proceeds to be reinvested in
29
Reinvestment Assets. Workflow may exercise its Reinvestment Election with
respect to a Recovery Event if (x) no Default or Event of Default exists and (y)
Workflow delivers a Reinvestment Notice to the Agent on the Business Day
following the date of Workflow's or its respective Subsidiary's receipt of the
proceeds from the respective Recovery Event, with such Reinvestment Election
being effective with respect to the Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery
Event equal to the Anticipated Reinvestment Amount specified in such
Reinvestment Notice.
(e) The Total Commitment shall be permanently reduced on the Reinvestment
Reduction Date with respect to a Reinvestment Election, in an amount equal to
the Reinvestment Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to such Reinvestment

cash proceeds from the incurrence of Indebtedness for borrowed money by Workflow
and/or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness permitted by Section

permanently reduced on such date by an amount equal to the cash proceeds from
such incurrence of Indebtedness (net of underwriting discounts and commissions
and other reasonable costs associated therewith).
(g) Each reduction of the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.03
shall apply to proportionally and permanently reduce the Commitment of each
Lender. At the time of each reduction to the Commitment of any Lender pursuant
to this Section 3.03, Workflow shall specify the amount of such reduction to
apply to the Canadian Sub-Commitment of such Lender and to the Dollar
Sub-Commitment of such Lender (the sum of which must equal the reduction to the
Commitment of such Lender); provided that all Lenders with Canadian
Sub-Commitments shall be treated in a consistent fashion (i.e., with no
reductions, or with proportionate reductions, to their respective Canadian
Sub-Commitments) at the time of any reduction to the Total Commitment pursuant
to this Section 3.03. In the absence of a designation by Workflow pursuant to
this Section 3.03, the amount of any reduction to the Commitment of any Lender
pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall apply (i) first, to reduce the Dollar
Sub-Commitment of the respective Lender and (ii) second, to the extent in excess
thereof, to reduce the Canadian Sub-Commitments of such Lender in each case on a
pro rata basis.
SECTION 4. Payments.
4.01 Voluntary Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the right to prepay
the Loans made to it, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, from time
to time on the following terms and conditions:
(i) such Borrower shall give the Agent at the Notice Office written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent
to prepay the Loans, whether Dollar Revolving Loans, Canadian Revolving
Loans or Swingline Loans shall be prepaid, the amount of such prepayment
and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and (in the case of Eurodollar Loans)
the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be
given by the respective Borrower prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at

which notice shall, except in the case of Swingline Loans, promptly be
transmitted by the Agent to each of the Lenders;
(ii) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at
least $1,000,000 (or Cdn $1,000,000 in the case of Canadian Prime Rate
Loans or (y) $250,000 in the case of Swingline Loans), provided that no
partial prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall
reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans outstanding
pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing
Amount applicable thereto;
(iii) each prepayment in respect of any Revolving Loans made pursuant
to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans;

directed by the respective Borrower at the time of prepayment, first be
deemed to be applied to any outstanding Acquisition Loans and then to any
outstanding Working Capital Loans; and
(vi) no Competitive Bid Loan may be prepaid without the consent of the
Lender that made such Competitive Bid Loan.
4.02 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) (i) If on any day the Aggregate Revolving
Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Commitment as then in effect, Workflow shall
prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Swingline Loans and, after all
Swingline Loans have been prepaid in full or if no Swingline Loans are
outstanding, the Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding
Revolving Loans (other than Bankers' Acceptance Loans where the underlying
Bankers Acceptances have not yet matured) (allocated between Dollar Revolving
Loans and Canadian Revolving Loans, as the Borrowers may elect) in an amount
(for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of payments in Canadian Dollars
made with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans) equal to such excess. If, after
giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving
Loans (other than Bankers' Acceptance Loans as referenced in the immediately
preceding sentence), the sum of the outstanding Bankers' Acceptance Loans (for
this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the Face Amounts thereof),
Competitive Bid Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total
Commitment then in effect, (i) an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal
to the lesser of such excess and the then outstanding Face Amount of all
Bankers' Acceptances shall be deposited by DBF with the Agent as collateral for
the obligations of DBF to the Canadian Lenders (rounded up to the nearest
integral multiple of Cdn.$100,000) in respect of an equivalent Face Amount of

to the Agent to be held as collateral for the repayment of such Competitive Bid
Loans at maturity and (iii) to the extent such excess exceeds the amount applied
pursuant to preceding clauses (i) and (ii), Workflow shall pay to the Agent cash
and/or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to the amount of such excess (less
the amount applied pursuant to preceding clauses (i) and (ii)) (up to a maximum
amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash
and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of Workflow
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents in a cash collateral account (and
invested from time to time in Cash Equivalents selected by the Agent) to be
established by the Agent.
(ii) If on any day the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount (or Face Amount, as the case may be) of Canadian Revolving
Loans made to DBF exceeds the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment as then in effect,
DBF shall prepay on such day principal of outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans
(other than Bankers' Acceptance Loans where the underlying Bankers' Acceptances
have not yet matured) in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect
to the prepayment in full of all such outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans other
than the Bankers' Acceptance Loans referenced in the immediately preceding
sentence, the aggregate outstanding Face Amount of Bankers' Acceptance Loans
exceeds the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment as then in effect, DBF shall pay to
the Agent on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the
amount of such excess (rounded up to the nearest integral multiple of Cdn.
$100,000), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as cash collateral for
the obligations of DBF to the Canadian Lenders in respect of an equivalent Face
Amount of outstanding Bankers' Acceptances accepted by the Canadian Lenders
which shall be paid to and applied by the Canadian Lenders, in satisfaction of
the obligations of DBF to the Canadian Lenders in respect of such Bankers'
Acceptances, on the maturity date thereof.
(iii) If on any day the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
Dollar Revolving Loans, Competitive Bid Loans and Swingline Loans made to
Workflow and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such
time exceeds an amount equal to the Total Dollar Sub-Commitment as then in
effect, Workflow shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Swingline
Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline
Loans are outstanding, principal of outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans in an
amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all
such outstanding Swingline Loans and Dollar Revolving Loans, the sum of the
outstanding Competitive Bid Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the
Total Dollar Sub-Commitment as then in effect, (i) an amount of cash and/or Cash
Equivalents equal to such excess shall be deposited by Workflow with the Agent
as Collateral for the obligations of Workflow in respect of outstanding
Competitive Bid Loans and shall be applied to the repayment of such Competitive
Bid Loans at maturity and (ii) to the extent such excess exceeds the amount
applied pursuant to preceding clause (i), Workflow shall pay to the Agent cash
and/or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to the amount of such excess (less
the amount applied pursuant to preceding clause (i)) (up to a maximum amount
equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash
Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of Workflow hereunder and
under the
32
other Credit Documents in a cash collateral account (and invested from time to
time in Cash Equivalents selected by the Agent) to be established by the Agent.
(iv) If, after giving effect to any prepayment then being made
pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 4.02(A)(a) on any date, the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Acquisition Loans exceeds the
Acquisition Sub-Limit then in effect, the Borrowers shall prepay on such date
the principal of Acquisition Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess
(with the Borrowers utilizing the priorities and procedures set out in Section
4.02(a)(i) in respect of such prepayment).
(v) In the event that any Borrower is required pursuant to the other
provisions of this Section 4.02 to deliver any cash and/or Cash Equivalents to
the Agent to be held as security for the Obligations of such Borrower hereunder
and under the other Credit Documents, the Agent shall, at the request of such
Borrower and so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, release to
such Borrower from time to time any investment earnings on such cash and/or Cash
Equivalents so long as the principal amount and/or Face Amount, as the case may
be, of the underlying Obligations remain fully collateralized at all times.
(b) With respect to each prepayment of Loans required by this Section 4.02,
the respective Borrower may designate the Types of Loans which are to be repaid
and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and Bankers' Acceptances Loans, the
specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such Loans were made, provided that (i)
if any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall
reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an
amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing
shall be immediately converted into Base Rate Loans, (ii) no prepayment of
Bankers' Acceptance Loans may be made prior to the maturity date of the related
Bankers' Acceptances and (iii) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a
Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In addition, all
prepayments of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall, unless otherwise
directed by the respective Borrower at the time of prepayment, first be deemed

Dollars in immediately available funds at the appropriate Payment Office of the
Agent in respect of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Agreement except

of (i) principal of, the Face Amount of or interest on Canadian Revolving Loans,
or (ii) any increased costs, indemnities or other amounts owing with respect to
Canadian Revolving Loans, in the case of this clause (ii) to the extent the
respective Lender which is charging same denominates the amounts owing in
Canadian Dollars. Any payments under this Agreement which are made later than
12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which such payments are to be made) on any
Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a
day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal,
interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect
immediately prior to such extension.
4.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by any Borrower hereunder or under
any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as

subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar
liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to
collectively as "Taxes"). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the respective
Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional
amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this
Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of
any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note.
If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the respective Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the
written request of such Lender, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net
income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in
which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable
lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political
subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is
organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such
Lender is located and for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall

of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding
sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender
pursuant to this sentence. The respective Borrower will furnish to the Agent
within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to
applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such
Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and
reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so
levied or imposed and paid by such Xxxxxx.
34
(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal
income tax purposes (other than a Canadian Lender in its capacity solely as a
lender to DBF) agrees to deliver to Workflow and the Agent on or prior to the
Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of
an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.04 (unless the
respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such
assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such
Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form 4224 or 1001 (or successor forms) certifying to such Xxxxxx's
entitlement (as of such date) to a complete exemption from United States
withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and
under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue
Service Form 1001 or 4224 (or successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x)
a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a
"Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate") and (y) two accurate and complete original
signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or successor form)
certifying to such Xxxxxx's entitlement to a complete exemption from United
States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under
this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender (other than a
Canadian Lender in its capacity solely as a lender to DBF) agrees that from time
to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any
material respect, it will deliver to Workflow and the Agent two new accurate and
complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or 1001
(or successor forms), or Form W-8 (or successor form) and a Section 4.04(b)(ii)
Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in
order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued
exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to
payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify
Workflow and the Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate
in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or
Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but subject to Section 12.04(b) and the
immediately succeeding sentence, (x) Workflow shall be entitled, to the extent
it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes
imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other amounts payable hereunder for
the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax
purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to Workflow United
States Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from
such deduction or withholding and (y) Workflow shall not be obligated pursuant
to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect
of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender is
not a United States person (defined as provided above) and has not provided to
Workflow the Internal Revenue Service Forms provided for in the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than
interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such
Forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or
elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except as set forth in Section 12.04(b),
Workflow agrees to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in
the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a)
35
(without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or
withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as described in
the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the
Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting
or withholding of such Taxes.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
4.04, unless a Lender gives notice to the applicable Borrower that such Borrower
is obligated to pay any amount under this Section 4.04 within one year after the
later of (i) the date such Lender incurs the respective Taxes or (ii) the date
such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective Taxes, then
such Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by such
Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04 to the extent such Taxes are incurred or
suffered on or after the date which occurs one year prior to the date that such
Lender gives notice to such Borrower that such Borrower is obligated to pay the

contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured
or unsecured; or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if

Subsidiaries for the fiscal year and nine month period ended on April 26, 1997
and January 24, 1998, respectively, and the related separate and combined
statements of income, cash flows and shareholders' equity of Workflow and its
Subsidiaries for the fiscal year or nine month period, as the case may be, ended

combined financial position of Workflow and its Subsidiaries at the dates of
such balance sheets and the separate and combined results of the operations of
Workflow and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby. All of the
foregoing historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The pro forma
consolidated financial statements of Workflow and its Subsidiaries as of April
26, 1997 and January 24, 1998, in each case after giving effect to the
Transaction and the financing therefor, copies of which have been furnished to
the Lenders prior to the Effective Date, present fairly in all material respects
the pro forma consolidated financial position of Workflow and its Subsidiaries
as of April 26, 1997 and January 24, 1998 and the pro forma consolidated results
of operations of Workflow and its Subsidiaries for the twelve month and nine
month periods covered thereby, as the case may be.
(c) After giving effect to the Transaction (but for this purpose assuming
that the Transaction and the related financing had occurred prior to April 26,
1997), since April 26, 1997, nothing shall have occurred that has had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect.

Workflow or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either
individually or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to
Workflow and
45
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. As of the Effective Date, no Borrower knows
of any basis for the assertion against it or any of its Subsidiaries of any
liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not disclosed in the

appropriate equivalent, Canadian or otherwise) and the Mortgages (which filings,
if this representation and warranty is being made more than 10 days after the
Effective Date, have been made) and each of the Pledge Agreements are effective
to create, in each case as security for the obligations purported to be secured
thereby, a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in and Lien on all
of the Collateral subject thereto, superior to and prior to the rights of all
third Persons and subject to no other Liens (except that the Security Agreement
Collateral may be subject to the security interests evidenced by Permitted Liens
relating thereto and each Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Permitted
Encumbrances relating thereto) in favor of the Collateral Agent (or such other
trustee as may be required or desired under local law), and the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, has a fully perfected lien on,
and security interest in, all Collateral. No filings or recordings are required
in order to perfect (or maintain the perfection or priority of) the security
interests created under the Pledge Agreements.

due, except for those contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and fully
provided for on the financial statements of Workflow and its Subsidiaries in
accordance with GAAP. Workflow and each of its Subsidiaries have at all times
paid, or have provided adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of the
management of Workflow) for the payment of, all United States federal, state and
foreign income taxes applicable for all prior fiscal years and for the current
fiscal year to date. There is no material action, suit, proceeding,
investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower,

periods of Workflow or any of its Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally
applicable statute of limitations. Neither Workflow nor any of its Subsidiaries
will incur any taxes in connection with the Transaction.
6.13 Compliance with ERISA. Each Plan (and each related trust, insurance
contract or fund) is in substantial compliance with its terms and with all
applicable laws, including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code; except for
the Plans set forth on Annex X, each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which
is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect
46
that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code; no
Reportable Event has occurred; no Plan which is a multiemployer plan (as defined
in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) is insolvent or in reorganization; no Plan has
an Unfunded Current Liability; no Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the
Code or Section 302 of ERISA has an accumulated funding deficiency, within the
meaning of such sections of the Code or ERISA, or has applied for or received a
waiver of an accumulated funding deficiency or an extension of any amortization
period, within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of
ERISA; all contributions required to be made with respect to a Plan have been
timely made; neither Workflow nor any Subsidiary of Workflow nor any ERISA
Affiliate has incurred any material liability (including any indirect,
contingent or secondary liability) to or on account of a Plan pursuant to
Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of
ERISA or Section 401(a)(29), 4971 or 4975 of the Code or expects to incur any
such material liability under any of the foregoing sections with respect to any
Plan; no condition exists which presents a material risk to Workflow or any
Subsidiary of Workflow or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a material liability
to or on account of a Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the
Code; no proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to
administer any Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA; no material action,
suit, proceeding, hearing, audit or investigation with respect to the
administration, operation or the investment of assets of any Plan (other than
routine claims for benefits) is pending, expected or threatened; using actuarial
assumptions and computation methods consistent with Part 1 of subtitle E of
Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of Workflow and its Subsidiaries
and its ERISA Affiliates to all Plans which are multiemployer plans (as defined
in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom,
as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Plan ended prior to
the date of the most recent Credit Event, would not exceed $1,000,000; each
group health plan (as defined in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2)
of the Code) which covers or has covered employees or former employees of
Workflow, any Subsidiary of Workflow or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times
been operated in material compliance with the provisions of Part 6 of subtitle B
of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code; no lien imposed under the
Code or ERISA on the assets of Workflow or any Subsidiary of Workflow or any
ERISA Affiliate exists or is likely to arise on account of any Plan; and
Workflow and its Subsidiaries may cease contributions to or terminate any
employee benefit plan maintained by any of them without incurring any material
liability.
(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in material compliance
with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws,
statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required,
in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. All contributions
required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely
made. Neither Workflow nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material
obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign
Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or
not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of
Workflow's most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial
assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of
the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.
47

foregoing, that are used in the operation of the business of Workflow and each
of its Subsidiaries as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted and
are necessary to such business, except where the failure to own or hold a valid

Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and

concerning any business or operations of Workflow or any of its Subsidiaries or
any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by Workflow or any of
its Subsidiaries or, to the best knowledge of any Borrower, any property
adjoining or in the vicinity of any such Real Property that could
48
reasonably be expected (i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against
Workflow or any of its Subsidiaries or any currently owned Real Property of
Workflow or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) to cause any such currently owned
Real Property to be subject to any material restrictions on the ownership,
occupancy, use or transferability of such Real Property by Workflow or any of

or stored on, or transported to or from, or Released on or from, any Real

representations made in this Section 6.18 shall only be untrue if the effect of
any or all failures, noncompliances, Environmental Claims, Hazardous Materials,

described above, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date, and the nature of the interest
therein, is correctly set forth in Annex V. Workflow and each of its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to, or a validly subsisting

income tax purposes which would not be substantially offset by a foreign tax
credit or other similar benefit of such United States parent or (II) other
material adverse United States federal income tax consequences to the Credit

such Mortgage for recording in all places to the extent necessary or, in
the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent desirable, to effectively

such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it
shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and
all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all the Lenders.
11.05 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the
Agent has actually received notice from a Lender or any Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a "notice of default." In the event
100
that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required

affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by
the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute
any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender
represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, assets, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects
and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries and made
its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement,
and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, assets, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects
and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries. The
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets,

Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries which may come into the
possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
11.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent in its
capacity as such ratably according to their respective "percentages" as used in
determining the Required Lenders at such time, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at
any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of
the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its
capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken
by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the
extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by the Borrowers or any of their
respective Subsidiaries; provided, that no Lender shall be liable to the Agent
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent
(as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). To the extent any
Lender would be required to indemnify the Agent pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence but for the fact that it is a Defaulting Lender, such
Defaulting Lender shall not be
101
entitled to receive any portion of any payment or other distribution hereunder
until each other Lender shall have been reimbursed for the excess, if any, of
the aggregate amount paid by such Lender under this Section 11.07 over the
aggregate amount such Lender would have been obligated to pay had such first
Lender not been a Defaulting Lender. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for
any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent be insufficient or become
impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not
commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
furnished. The agreements in this Section 11.07 shall survive the payment of all
Obligations.
11.08 Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its affiliates may
make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with any Borrower and any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates as
though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by
it and all Obligations owing to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Agent and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Agent
in its individual capacity.
11.09 Holders. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the
owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the
assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been
filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity
who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is
the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder,
transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any
Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
11.10 Resignation of the Agent; Successor Agent. (a) The Agent may resign
from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or

including in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit

limitation, in each case the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
(including in-house counsel) for the Agent and for each of the Lenders); (iii)
pay and hold each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present
and future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters
and save each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities
with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the
extent attributable to such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iv) indemnify the
Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, its officers, directors, employees,
representatives, agents and sub-collateral agents (each an "Indemnitee") from

damages or expenses incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of,
or in any way related to, or by reason of (a) any investigation (other than
those undertaken pursuant to Section 7.02), litigation or other proceeding
(whether or not the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender is a party
thereto) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or
any other Credit Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or
the consummation of any other transactions contemplated in any Credit Document,
or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface
water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property owned,
leased or at any time operated by any Borrower or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, the Release, generation, storage, transportation, handling or
disposal of Hazardous Materials at any location, whether or not owned, leased or
operated by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance by any
Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any Real Property with
foreign, federal, state and local laws, regulations, ordinances or Environmental
Laws (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Real Property,
or any Environmental Claim relating to any Borrower or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or any Real Property owned, leased or at any time operated by any
Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, including, in each case,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in
connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but
excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the
extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Person to be indemnified (as finally determined by the court of competent
jurisdiction). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold
harmless any Person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable
because it is violative of any law or public policy, the
103
Borrowers shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of
each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
12.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such
rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Borrower or any
of their Subsidiaries or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby
expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits
(general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by
such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches, agencies and affiliates
of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any
Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against and on account of the Obligations
and liabilities of any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to such Lender under
this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without
limitation, all interests in Obligations of the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 12.06(b), and all
other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations,
liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.
12.03 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices
and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including
telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed,
telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered, if to any Credit Party, at the address
specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit
Documents, as the case may be; if to any Lender, at its address specified for
such Lender on Annex II; or, at such other address as shall be designated by any
party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and
communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled
or sent by overnight courier, be effective (x) three Business Days after
deposited in the mails, (y) one Business Day after delivered to the telegraph
company, cable company or a recognized overnight courier, as the case may be, or
(z) when sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to
the Agent shall not be effective until received by the Agent.
12.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto; provided, that no Borrower may assign or transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer,
assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain
a "Lender" for all purposes hereunder and the transferee, assignee or
participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a "Lender" hereunder and,
provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under
which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment
or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Letter of
Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Final Maturity
Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest or
104
Fees (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being
understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in
this Agreement or to Section 12.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the
rate of interest or Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), or increase the
amount of the participant's participation over the amount thereof then in effect
(it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a
mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in the
terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan
shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant's
participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the
assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to the extent relating to such participation or (iii)
release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security
Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents). In the case of
any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this
Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant's rights against
such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the
agreement executed by such Xxxxxx in favor of the participant relating thereto)
and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if
such Xxxxxx had not sold such participation.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may (x) assign all or a
portion of its Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) to any
Affiliate of such Lender or to one or more Lenders or (y) assign all, or if less
than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the
assigning Lender, of its Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations
hereunder) to one or more Eligible Transferees, provided that (i) the assignment
by any Lender of its Canadian Sub-Commitment (or any portion thereof) shall
constitute the assignment of a like amount of such Lender's (or its respective
Affiliate's) Commitment, (ii) any assignment of all or any portion of the
Commitment of any Lender shall be required to be accompanied by the assignment
of all or such portions of the Canadian Sub-Commitment and/or Dollar
Sub-Commitment of such Lender (or its respective Affiliate) as is equal, in the
aggregate, to the amount of the Commitment being so assigned, (iii) any
assignment of all or any portion of the Commitment and related outstanding
Obligations shall be made on a basis such that the respective assignee
participates in Revolving Loans and in Letter of Credit Outstandings, in
accordance with the Commitment (and Canadian Sub-Commitment described above) so
assigned, (iv) at such time Annexes I-A and I-B shall be deemed modified to
reflect the Commitments and, if applicable, Canadian Sub-Commitments of such new
Lender and of the existing Lenders, (v) upon surrender of the old Notes (if
any), new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower's expense, to such new Lender
and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender and such new
Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.06 to the extent
needed to reflect the revised Commitments, (vi) the consent of Workflow (so long
as no Default or Event of Default then exists) and the Agent shall be required
in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (each of
which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (vii) the Agent
shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or
assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and
(viii) no assignment shall be effective until recorded by the Agent on the
Register pursuant to Section 12.17. If any Lender so sells or assigns all or a
part of its rights hereunder or under the Notes, any reference in this Agreement
or the Notes to such assigning Lender shall thereafter
105
refer to such Xxxxxx and to the respective assignee to the extent of their
respective interests and the respective assignee shall have, to the extent of
such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and
benefits as it would if it were such assigning Lender. Each assignment pursuant
to this Section 12.04(b) shall be effected by the assigning Lender and the
assignee Lender executing an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially
in the form of Exhibit K, appropriately completed (each, an "Assignment and
Assumption Agreement"). To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section
12.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder
with respect to its assigned Commitment. At the time of each assignment pursuant
to this Section 12.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and
which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective
assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to
Workflow the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a
Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b). To the extent
that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender's Commitments and related
outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 1.14 or this Section 12.04(b) would,
at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Sections 1.11,
2.05 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior
to such assignment, then Workflow shall not be obligated to pay such increased
costs (although Workflow, in accordance with and pursuant to the other
provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased
costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the
respective assignment).
(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from
pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Lender in support of
borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Lender.
12.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of
the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing
between any Credit Party and the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the
Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or
demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or
constitute a waiver of the rights of the Agent, the Collateral Agent or the
Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or
demand.
12.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Agent agrees that promptly after its
receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any
Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that
has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of such payment) pro rata
based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to
which such payment was received.
106
(b) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be
allocated to the Lenders with particular Obligations, prior to the occurrence of
a Sharing Event, if any Lender (a "Benefitted Lender") shall at any time receive
any payment of all or part of its Loans or the other Obligations owing to it, or
interest thereon, 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 9.05, pursuant to any Security Document or
otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral
received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Loans or
the other Obligations owing to such other Lender, or interest thereon, such
Benefitted Lenders shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a
participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender's Loans and/or
other Obligations owning to each such other Lenders, or shall provide such other
Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as
shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment
or benefits of such collateral or proceeds 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 Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest.
12.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be
furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved
(except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing
by Workflow to the Lenders); provided, that (i) for purposes of determining
compliance with any incurrence tests set forth in Section 8 (excluding Sections
8.09 and 8.10), any amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or
expended in a currency other than Dollars) shall be converted into Dollars on
the basis of the Dollar Equivalent of the respective amounts as in effect on the
date of such incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section
that has an aggregate Dollar limitation provided for therein (and to the extent
the respective incurrence test regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any
time and it is expressed in terms of Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally
incurred or spent in currencies other than Dollars shall be converted into
Dollars on the basis of the Dollar Equivalent of the respective amounts as in
effect on the date any new incurrence or expenditures made under any provision
of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time)
and (ii) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations
determining compliance with Section 8, including definitions used therein, shall
utilize accounting principles and policies in effect at the time of the
preparation of, and in conformity with those used to prepare, the year end
financial statements delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 6.10(b).
(b) All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate
Loans, Eurodollar Loans and Fees (including Letter of Credit Fees and Facing
Fees, but excluding Acceptance Fees) hereunder shall be made on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. Acceptance Fees shall be
calculated on the basis of the term of maturity of the Bankers' Acceptance and a
year of 365 days.
(c) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or
fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 or
365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation,
when expressed as an annual rate, is
107
equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 or 365 days, as the
case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in
which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends,
and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be, (ii) the principle of deemed
reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this
Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are
intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
12.08 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE. (A) THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT, IN THE CASE OF CERTAIN OF THE SECURITY
DOCUMENTS AND THE CANADIAN PARENT GUARANTY, AS SPECIFICALLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED
THEREIN) AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER
SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR
OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION
AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR
ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE
JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH BORROWER HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER IT, AND
AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER IT. EACH
BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES
THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH BORROWER, AT
ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.03, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME
EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND
AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR
UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID
OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT, ANY LENDER
OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW
OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN
ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
(B) EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE
AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN THE
FIRST SENTENCE OF CLAUSE (A) ABOVE

BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
12.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of
counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with each
Borrower and the Agent.
12.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the
"Effective Date") on which (i) the Borrowers, the Agent and each of the Lenders
shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different
counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the Agent at the Notice
Office or, in the case of the Lenders, shall have given to the Agent telephonic
(confirmed in writing), written or telex notice (actually received) at such
office that the same has been signed and mailed to it and (ii) the conditions
set forth in Section 5 are met to the satisfaction of the Agent and the Required
Lenders. Unless the Agent has received actual notice from any Lender that the
conditions contained in Section 5 have not been met to its satisfaction, upon
the satisfaction of the condition described in clause (i) of the immediately
preceding sentence and upon the Agent's good faith determination that the
conditions described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence have
been met, then the Effective Date shall have been deemed to have occurred,
regardless of any subsequent determination that one or more of the conditions
thereto had not been met. The Agent will give each Borrower and each Lender
prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.
12.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and
subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in
any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.
12.12 Amendment or Waiver. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit
Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing
signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrowers; provided, that no such change,
waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender
(other than a Defaulting Lender) being directly affected thereby, (i) extend the
final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the stated expiration
date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Final Maturity Date, or reduce the rate
or extend the time of payment of interest thereon (other than as a result of
waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or
Fees, or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any
amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to
Section 12.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or
Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) release all or substantially all
of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under
all of the Security Documents, or release any Guarantor from its obligations
under any Guaranty to which it is a party (except (in each case) as expressly
provided in the Credit Documents), (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of
this
109
Section 12.12 to the extent that any such amendment, modification or waiver
would alter any of the voting provisions set forth in the other provisions of
this Section 12.12, (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required
Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be
included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same
basis as the extensions of Commitments are included on the Effective Date) or
(v) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document except in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; provided further, that no such
change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (w) increase the Commitment (or
Canadian Sub-Commitment) of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect
without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or
modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default
or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute an
increase of the Commitment (or Canadian Sub-Commitment) of any Lender, and that
an increase in the available portion of any Commitment (or Canadian
Sub-Commitment) of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment
(or Canadian Sub-Commitment) of such Lender), (x) without the consent of the
Letter of Credit Issuer, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2 or
alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (y) without
the consent of BTCo, amend or modify the obligation of BTCo to make Swingline
Loans, the terms of any such Swingline Loans or the obligations of the Lenders
to fund Mandatory Borrowings, or (z) without the consent of the Agent, amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 11 as same applies to the Agent or any
other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Agent.
(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement as
contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to
Section 12.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the
consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not
obtained, then Workflow shall have the right, to replace each such
non-consenting Lender or Lenders (so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so
replaced) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 1.14 so long
as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the
proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination, provided that Workflow shall
not have the right to replace a Lender solely as a result of the exercise of
such Lender's rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such
Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 12.12(a).
12.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without
limitation, in Section 1.11, 1.12, 2.05, 4.04, 11.07 or 12.01, shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the
Loans.
12.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at,
to or for the account of any branch office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such
Lender provided that no Borrower shall be responsible for costs arising under
Section 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04 resulting from any such transfer (other than a
transfer pursuant to Section 1.13) to the extent such costs would not otherwise
be applicable to such Lender in the absence of such transfer.
110
12.15 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it will use its
best efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of Workflow (other than
to its employees, auditors, counsel or other professional advisors, to
affiliates or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender's holding or parent
company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access
to such information) any information with respect to Workflow or any of its
Subsidiaries which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement and which is
designated by Workflow to the Lenders in writing as confidential provided that
any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally
available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report,
statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory
body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal
Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar
organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors,
(c) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or
in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order,
regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, and (e) to any prospective
transferee in connection with any contemplated transfer of any of the Loans or
Notes or any interest therein by such Xxxxxx provided that such prospective
transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section. In connection
with any disclosure by a Lender pursuant to clause (c) of the immediately
preceding sentence, such Xxxxxx agrees to use its best efforts to give Workflow
prior notice of such disclosure to the extent such prior notice is practicable
or permitted under the circumstances, although the failure to give any such
notice shall not result in any liability of such Lender to Workflow or any of
its Subsidiaries. No Lender shall be obligated or required to return any
materials furnished by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower. The
Borrowers hereby agree that the failure of a Lender to comply with the
provisions of this Section 12.15 shall not relieve any Borrower of any of its
obligations to such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender
may, in connection with the Transaction or the participation of such Lender
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, share with any of its
affiliates any information related to Workflow or any of its Subsidiaries
(including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the
creditworthiness of Workflow and its Subsidiaries, provided such Persons shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.15 to the same extent as such
Lender).
12.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby
irrevocably waives all right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Credit
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
12.17 Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Agent to serve as the
Borrowers' agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.17, to maintain a
register (the "Register") on which it will record the Commitments from time to
time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each
repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender.
Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall
not affect the Borrowers' obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to
any Lender, the
111
transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of,
and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be
effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the
Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such
recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments
and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment
or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the
Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Agent of a properly
executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section
12.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement to the Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer
of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or
transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and
thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be
issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender upon the
request of any such Lender. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to
indemnify the Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or
incurred by the Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.17.
12.18 Judgment Currency. (a) The Credit Parties' obligations hereunder and
under the other Credit Documents to make payments in the respective Applicable
Currency (the "Obligation Currency") shall not be discharged or satisfied by any
tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any
currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such
tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Agent, the Collateral
Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency
expressed to be payable to the Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender under
this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or
enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction,
it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the
Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the
"Judgment Currency") an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion
shall be made, at the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or the Dollar Equivalent
thereof, as the case may be, and, in the case of other currencies, the rate of
exchange (as quoted by the Agent or if the Agent does not quote a rate of
exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the
Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day immediately preceding the day on
which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as
the "Judgment Currency Conversion Date").
(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the
Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount
due, the Borrowers covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such
additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be
necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when
converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will
produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased
with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial
award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion
Date.
112
(c) For purposes of determining the Canadian Equivalent or the Dollar
Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall
include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the
Obligation Currency.
12.19 Authorization for Quebec Security. For greater certainty, and without
limiting the powers of the Agent hereunder or under any of the Security
Documents, DBF hereby acknowledges that the Agent shall, for purposes of holding
any security granted by DBF on DBF's property pursuant to the laws of the
Province of Quebec, be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (within
the meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Lenders, and
in particular for all present and future holders of any debenture described in
Exhibit I-4. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably constitutes, to the extent
necessary, the Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (within
the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in order to hold
security granted by DBF in the Province of Quebec. Any assignee of any Lender
shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Agent as
the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney by execution of the relevant
Assignment and Assumption agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
32 of the Special Corporate Powers Act (Quebec), the Agent may acquire and be
the holder of any debenture issued by DBF as contemplated under any of the
Security Documents at any time and from time to time. DBF hereby acknowledges
that any such debenture constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is
used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

ANNEX III
CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES
This Xxxxx XXX sets forth certain terms and conditions relating to the
obligation of the Canadian Lenders to make loans to DBF pursuant to Section
1.01(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement by way of Bankers' Acceptances. Capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit
Agreement.
(a) Availability. All notices of borrowings, conversions or continuations
for Bankers' Acceptances shall be in a minimum aggregate Face Amount of Cdn
$2,500,000 or a multiple of Cdn $100,000 in excess thereof, and a Canadian
Lender shall not be obliged to accept any bill of exchange which:
(i) is drawn on or which matures on a day which is not a Business Day;
(ii) matures on a day subsequent to the Final Maturity Date;
(iii) has a term other than approximately 30, 60, 90 or 180 days;
(iv) is denominated in any currency other than Canadian Dollars;
(v) is not in a form satisfactory to such Canadian Lender or the
Agent;
(vi) has a Face Amount of less than Cdn. $1,000,000 or the Face Amount
is not an integral multiple of Cdn. $100,000; or
(vii) in respect of which DBF has not then paid the applicable
Acceptance Fee.
(b) Grace. DBF hereby renounces, and shall not claim or request or require
any Canadian Lender to claim, any days of grace for the payment of any Bankers'
Acceptance.
(c) Bankers' Acceptances in Blank. To facilitate the acceptance by the
Canadian Lenders of Drafts as contemplated by the Credit Agreement and this
Xxxxx XXX, DBF shall, on the Effective Date and from time to time as required,
supply each Canadian Lender with such numbers of Drafts as it may request, each
executed and endorsed in blank by DBF. Each Canadian Lender shall exercise such
care in the custody and safekeeping of such bills as they give to similar
property owned by them. Each Canadian Lender is hereby authorized to issue such
Bankers' Acceptances endorsed in blank in such Face Amounts as may be determined
by such Canadian Lender, provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to
the aggregate amount of Bankers' Acceptances required to be accepted by such
Canadian Lender. No Canadian Lender shall be responsible or liable for its
failure to accept a Bankers' Acceptance if the cause of such failure is, in
whole or in part, due to the failure of DBF to provide duly executed and
endorsed drafts to such Canadian Lender on a timely basis, nor shall any
Canadian Lender be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason
of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except loss or improper use
to the extent same has been finally judicially determined to have arisen by
reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
ANNEX III
Page 2
such Canadian Lender, its officers, employees, agents or representatives.
Each Canadian Lender shall maintain a record with respect to Bankers'
Acceptances (i) received by it from DBF in blank hereunder, (ii) voided by it
for any reason, (iii) accepted by it hereunder, (iv) purchased by it
hereunder, and (v) canceled at their respective maturity dates.
(d) Execution of Bankers' Acceptances. Upon the request of any Canadian
Lender, DBF shall provide to such Canadian Lender a power of attorney to
complete, sign, endorse and issue Bankers' Acceptances on behalf of DBF in form
and substance satisfactory to such Canadian Lender. Notwithstanding that any one
or more of the individuals whose manual or facsimile signature appears on any
bill as a signatory on behalf of DBF may no longer hold office at the date of
such bill or at the date of its acceptance by any Canadian Lender hereunder, or
at any time thereafter, any Bankers' Acceptance signed as aforesaid on behalf of
DBF shall be valid and binding upon DBF.
(e) Issuance of Bankers' Acceptances. Promptly following receipt of a
notice of borrowing, conversion or continuation by way of Bankers' Acceptances,
the Agent shall so advise the Canadian Lenders and shall advise each Canadian
Lender of the Face Amount of each Bankers' Acceptance to be accepted by it and
the term thereof. The aggregate Face Amount of Bankers' Acceptances to be
accepted by an Canadian Lender shall be determined by the Agent by reference to
the respective Canadian Percentages of the Canadian Lenders, except that, if the
Face Amount of the Bankers' Acceptance, that would otherwise be accepted by an
Canadian Lender, would not be Cdn. $100,000 or a multiple thereof, such Face
Amount shall be increased or reduced by the Agent in its sole discretion to the
nearest multiple of Cdn. $100,000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by reason of any increase or reduction
described in the immediately preceding sentence, any Canadian Lender shall have
aggregate Bankers' Acceptances and Canadian Revolving Loans in excess of its
respective Canadian Percentage of the total outstanding Bankers' Acceptances and
Canadian Revolving Loans for all the Canadian Lenders (any such Lender being
herein called an "Over-Allotted Lender"), then at any time following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each other
Canadian Lender agrees, upon request of the Over-Allotted Lender, to promptly
purchase from such Over-Allotted Lender participations in (or, if and to the
extent specified by any such purchasing Lender, direct interests in) the
Bankers' Acceptances and Canadian Revolving Loans owing to the Over-Allotted
Lender (and in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and to
make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end
that all the Canadian Lenders shall hold the Bankers' Acceptances and Canadian
Revolving Loans ratably according to their respective Canadian Percentages.
(f) Purchase of Bankers' Acceptances: Continuations as and Conversions into
Bankers' Acceptance Loans. Subject to clause (k) below, upon the acceptance of a
Bankers' Acceptance by an Canadian Lender, such Canadian Lender shall purchase,
or arrange the purchase of, each Bankers' Acceptance from DBF at a price
determined by the Discount Rate of such Bankers' Acceptance and provide to the
Agent at the relevant Payment Office the BA Discount Proceeds for the account of
DBF. The BA Discount Proceeds so received by the Agent from the Canadian Lenders
shall be retained by the Agent and applied as follows: (i) remitted to
ANNEX III
Page 3
DBF, (ii) to the prepayment of Canadian Prime Rate Loans (which shall
constitute a conversion of the Canadian Revolving Loans from Canadian Prime Rate
Loans to Bankers' Acceptance Loans) or (iii) to the payment of Bankers'
Acceptances maturing on such date (which shall constitute a continuation of
Bankers' Acceptance Loans to new Bankers' Acceptance Loans), provided that in
the case of any such conversion or continuation of Loans, DBF shall pay to the
Agent for account of the respective Canadian Lenders such additional amounts, if
any, as shall be necessary to effect the prepayment in full of the respective
Canadian Prime Rate Loans being prepaid, or the Bankers' Acceptances maturing,
on such date.
On any date on which a conversion or continuation described in the
preceding paragraph shall occur, the Agent shall be entitled to net all amounts
payable on such date by the Agent to an Canadian Lender against all amounts
payable on such date by such Canadian Lender to the Agent. Similarly, on any
such date, DBF hereby authorizes each Canadian Lender to net all amounts payable
on such date by such Canadian Lender to the Agent for the account of DBF,
against all amounts payable on such date by DBF to such Canadian Lender in
accordance with the Agent's calculations.
(g) Acceptance Fees. DBF shall pay to the Agent, in advance, for
distribution to each Canadian Lender which accepts a Bankers' Acceptance (based
on their respective Canadian Percentages), an Acceptance Fee in respect of the
Face Amount of such Bankers' Acceptance, which shall be payable on or before the
date of acceptance of such Bankers' Acceptance.
(h) Prepayments. Subject to clause (j) of this Xxxxx XXX, and except as
otherwise expressly provided under the Credit Agreement, no prepayment of any
Bankers' Acceptances shall be made by DBF prior to the maturity date of such
Bankers' Acceptance.
(i) Payment; Conversion or Renewal of Bankers' Acceptances. Upon maturity
of a Bankers' Acceptance, DBF may (i) elect to issue a replacement Bankers'
Acceptance by giving a notice of continuation prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York
time) at least three Business Days prior to the maturity date thereof, which
notice shall comply with the requirements of clause (a) of this Xxxxx XXX; (ii)
elect to have all or a portion of the Face Amount of the Bankers' Acceptance
converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan by giving a Notice of Borrowing in
accordance with Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement; or (iii) pay to the Agent,
on or before 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on the maturity date for the Bankers'
Acceptance, an amount in Canadian Dollars equal to the Face Amount of the
Bankers' Acceptance (notwithstanding that the Canadian Lender may be the holder
of it at maturity). Unless a Bankers' Acceptance is paid in full at the maturity
thereof, or continued as another Canadian Revolving Loan by way of Bankers'
Acceptances, the obligation of DBF to any Canadian Lender in respect of a
maturing Bankers' Acceptance accepted by such Canadian Lender shall be deemed to
be converted automatically into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan in an amount equal to
the full Face Amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptance. Such Canadian Prime
Rate Loan shall be subject to all of the provisions of the Credit Agreement
applicable to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, including in particular the obligation
to pay interest, from and after the maturity date of such Bankers' Acceptance.
ANNEX III
Page 4
(j) Default. Upon the acceleration of the Canadian Revolving Loans to be
due and payable pursuant to Section 9 of the Credit Agreement (whether by action
of the Agent or the Required Lenders, or automatically by reason of the
occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Section 9.05 with respect to
any Borrower), DBF shall pay to the Agent in satisfaction of the obligations of
DBF to the Canadian Lenders in respect of then-outstanding Bankers' Acceptances,
and there shall become immediately due and payable, an amount equal to:
(i) the aggregate Face Amount of all outstanding Bankers' Acceptances
thereof; and
(ii) all unpaid Acceptance Fees, if any.
(k) Circumstances Making Bankers' Acceptances Unavailable. If the Agent
shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto) and notified DBF and each of the Canadian
Lenders that, by reason of circumstances arising after the Effective Date and
affecting the Canadian money market (i) there is no market for Bankers'
Acceptances or (ii) the demand for Bankers' Acceptances is insufficient to allow
the sale or trading of the Bankers' Acceptances created and purchased hereunder,
then the right of DBF to request that any Canadian Lender accept a Bankers'
Acceptance shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist and the Agent so notifies DBF.
(l) Indemnification in Respect of Bankers' Acceptances. In addition to any
liability of DBF to any Lender or the Agent under any other provision hereof,
DBF shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent and hold each of them harmless
against any reasonable loss or expense incurred by such Lender or the Agent as a
result of (x) any failure by DBF to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder
including, without limitation, any cost or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or re-employment in whole or in part of deposits or other funds
required by any Lender to fund any Bankers' Acceptance as a result of the
failure of DBF to make any payment, repayment or prepayment on the date required
hereunder or specified by it in any notice given hereunder; or (y) DBF's failure
to provide for the payment to the Agent, for the account of each of the Canadian
Lenders, of the full Face Amount of each Bankers' Acceptance on its maturity
date.
(m) Bankers' Acceptances purchased by a Canadian Lender may be held by it
for its own account until the maturity date or sold by it at any time prior to
that date in any relevant Canadian market in such Canadian Lender's sole
discretion.
