Lower than BB+	Lower than Ba1	Lower than BB+	25.00 basis points

If at any time each Rating Agency issues a different rating or two Rating Agencies issue the same rating which is different than the other Rating Agency, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based on the highest rating at such time; provided, however, that if the highest such rating is two or more levels above the lowest such rating, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based on the intermediate rating at such time. If there is no S&P Rating and Fitch Rating, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based on the Xxxxx’x Rating. If there is no Xxxxx’x Rating and Fitch Rating, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based on the S&P Rating. If at any time only two Rating Agencies issue a rating and there is a difference of two or more rating levels between such Rating Agencies, then the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be determined based on the intermediate rating levels at the midpoint between the ratings issued by such Rating Agencies at

such time or, if there is no midpoint, based on the higher intermediate level. If there is (i) no Xxxxx’x Rating and S&P Rating or (ii) no S&P Rating, Xxxxx’x Rating and Fitch Rating, the Applicable Facility Fee Rate will be determined by the Lenders (with the Applicable Facility Fee Rate in effect prior to the determination of the Lenders being the same as the Applicable Facility Fee Rate in effect at the time such ratings ceased to be in effect), but shall not be higher than the highest rate per annum indicated therefor in the above table. The S&P Rating, Xxxxx’x Rating and Fitch Rating in effect on any date for purposes of determining the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be that S&P Rating, Xxxxx’x Rating and Fitch Rating in effect at the close of business on such date.

“Applicable Lending Office” shall mean, for each Lender and for each Type of Loan, the lending office of such Lender (or of an affiliate of such Lender) specified by such Lender from time to time to the Administrative Agent and the Company as the office by which its Loans of such Type are to be made and/or issued and maintained, provided that, in respect of a Canadian Lender, such office shall be located in Canada.

“Applicable Margin” means, on any date of determination, a rate that is determined, based upon the S&P Rating, the Xxxxx’x Rating or the Fitch Rating, as follows:


				Applicable
				Margin for Base

Lower than BB+	Lower than Ba1	Lower than BB+	100.00 basis points	0.0 basis points

If at any time each Rating Agency issues a different rating or two Rating Agencies issue the same rating which is different than the other Rating Agency, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the highest rating at such time; provided, however, that if the highest such rating is two or more levels above the lowest such rating, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the intermediate rating at such time. If there is no S&P Rating and Fitch Rating, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the Xxxxx’x Rating. If there is no Xxxxx’x Rating and Fitch Rating, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the S&P Rating. If at any time only two Rating Agencies issue a rating and there is a difference of two or more rating levels between such Rating Agencies, then the

Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the intermediate rating levels at the midpoint between the ratings issued by such Rating Agencies at such time or, if there is no midpoint, based on the higher intermediate level. If there is (i) no Xxxxx’x Rating and S&P Rating or (ii) no S&P Rating, Xxxxx’x Rating and Fitch Rating, the Applicable Margin will be determined by the Lenders (with the Applicable Margin in effect prior to the determination by the Lenders being the same as the Applicable Margin in effect at the time such ratings ceased to be in effect), but shall not be higher than the highest rate per annum indicated therefore in the above table. The S&P Rating, Xxxxx’x Rating and Fitch Rating in effect on any date for purposes of determining the Applicable Margin shall be that S&P Rating, Xxxxx’x Rating and Fitch Rating in effect at the close of business on such date. Each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a publicly announced change in the S&P Rating, the Fitch Rating and/or the Xxxxx’x Rating shall be effective during the period commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next change.

SECTION 2. COMMITMENTS.

2.01 Loans and Letters of Credit.

(a) Revolving Loans. During the Commitment Period, each Lender that has a Revolving Commitment severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to each Revolving Borrower from time to time pursuant to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, which Revolving Loans (i) may, except as set forth herein, at the option of each Revolving Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, or converted into, Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans, in each case denominated in Dollars or a Designated Foreign Currency, provided that all Revolving Loans made as part of the same borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be made to the same Revolving Borrower and consist of Revolving Loans of the same Type; (ii) may be repaid or prepaid and re-borrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; and (iii) shall not be made if, after giving effect to any such Revolving Loan, (A) the Revolving Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment, or (C) any Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.02(b).

(b) Canadian Revolving Loans. At any time during the Commitment Period, each Canadian Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Canadian Revolving Loan or Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrowers from time to time pursuant to such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment, which Canadian Revolving Loans (i) may, except as set forth herein, at the option of the Canadian Borrowers, be incurred and maintained as, or converted into, Canadian Revolving Loans that are Canadian Base Rate Loans or BA Equivalent Loans, in each case denominated in Canadian Dollars, provided that all Canadian Revolving Loans made as part of the same borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be made to the same Canadian Borrower and consist of Canadian Revolving Loans of the same Type; (ii) may be repaid or prepaid and re-borrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; and (iii) shall not be made if, after giving effect to any such Canadian Revolving Loan, (A) the Canadian Facility Exposure of any Canadian Lender would exceed such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Canadian Facility Exposure would exceed the Total Canadian Commitment, or (C) any Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.02(b).

(i) Swing Loans. During the Commitment Period, the Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans to the Company, which Swing Loans (A) shall be payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable to each such Swing Loan; (B) shall be made only in Dollars; (C) may be repaid or prepaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; (D) may only be made if after giving effect thereto (1) the Swing Line Facility

Exposure would not exceed the Swing Line Commitment, and (2) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would not exceed the Total Revolving Commitment; (E) shall not be made if, after giving effect thereto, any Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.02(b); and (F) shall not be made if the proceeds thereof would be used to repay, in whole or in part, any outstanding Swing Loan. On the day that a Swing Loan is made by the Swing Line Lender and after giving effect to such Swing Loan the aggregate amount of Swing Loans outstanding at such time would exceed the Funded Swing Loan Threshold, the Funded Swing Line Participant shall (x) be deemed to have purchased an undivided participating interest in all outstanding Swing Loans in an amount equal to 50% of all outstanding Swing Loans (the “Funded Swing Line Participation Amount”) and (y) pay to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the Funded Swing Line Participation Amount. If any amount required to be paid by the Funded Swing Line Participant pursuant to the above is not paid on the date such payment is due, the Funded Swing Line Participant shall pay to the Swing Line Lender on demand interest on the amount not so paid at the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate from the due date until such amount is paid in full. The Swing Line Lender shall remit to the Funded Swing Line Participant its pro rata portion of interest due and payable under Section 4.02 hereof in respect of the Funded Swing Line Participation Amount promptly after receipt of such interest by the Company. The obligations of the Funded Swing Line Participant to participate in Swing Loans in accordance with the foregoing are in addition to its obligations as a Lender to participate in Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii).

(ii) Swing Loan Refunding. At any time the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct that the Swing Loans owing to it be refunded by delivering a notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent, specifying the aggregate principal amount thereof (a “Notice of Swing Loan Refunding”). Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of the contents thereof to the Lenders with Revolving Commitments and, unless an Event of Default specified in Section 10.01(f) or (g) in respect of the Company has occurred, the Company. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Administrative Agent receives a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of the contents of such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding to the Company and permit the Company to convert such Swing Loans into Fixed Rate Loans within three Business Days after the Administrative Agent delivers such notice to the Company, and if the Company fails to so convert such Swing Loans on or before the third Business Day, such Swing Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period of one month. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Administrative Agent receives a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be deemed to constitute delivery by the Company of a notice requesting Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the Swing Loans to which it relates, and such Swing Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment (including the Swing Line Lender and the Funded Swing Line Participant) hereby unconditionally agrees (notwithstanding that any of the conditions specified in Section 7.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of paragraph (iv) below) to make a Revolving Loan to the Company in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of

the aggregate amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates. Each such Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office), if such notice is received by such Lender prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Domestic Lending Office), or not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the next Business Day, if such notice is received by such Lender after such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be made immediately available to the applicable Swing Line Lender and applied by it to repay the principal amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates.

(iii) Swing Loan Participation. If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would otherwise have been made as provided above as a consequence of a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, any of the events specified in Section 10.01 (f) or (g) shall have occurred in respect of the Company or one or more of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall determine that it is legally prohibited from making a Revolving Loan under such circumstances, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender and, if the Funded Swing Line Participant has purchased a participating interest in the Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(i), the Funded Swing Line Participant), or each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender and, if the Funded Swing Line Participant has purchased a participating interest in the Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii), the Funded Swing Line Participant) so prohibited, as the case may be, shall, on the date such Revolving Loan would have been made by it (the “Purchase Date”), purchase an undivided participating interest (a “Swing Loan Participation”) in the outstanding Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates, in an amount (the “Swing Loan Participation Amount”) equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such outstanding Swing Loans. On the Purchase Date, each such Lender or each such Lender so prohibited, as the case may be, shall pay to the applicable Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, and promptly upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender shall, if requested by such other Lender, deliver to such Lender a participation certificate, dated the date of the Swing Line Lender’s receipt of the funds from, and evidencing such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation in, such Swing Loans and its Swing Loan Participation Amount in respect thereof. If any amount required to be paid by a Lender to the Swing Line Lender pursuant to the above provisions in respect of any Swing Loan Participation is not paid on the date such payment is due, such Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender on demand interest on the amount not so paid at the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate from the due date until such amount is paid in full. Upon receipt of such Swing Loan Participation Amount, if the Funded Swing Line Participant has purchased a participating interest in the Swing Loans related thereto, the Swing Line Lender shall pay to the Funded Swing Line Participant its pro rata portion of such amount owing to the Funded Swing Line Participant. Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any other Lender such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment from or on behalf of the Company on account of the related Swing Loans, the Swing Line Lender will promptly distribute to such Lender its ratable share of such amount based on its Revolving Percentage of such

amount on such date on account of its Swing Loan Participation (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that if such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

(iv) Obligations Unconditional. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) and/or to purchase Swing Loan Participations in connection with a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be subject to the conditions that (A) such Lender shall have received a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding complying with the provisions hereof and (B) at the time the Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding were made, the Swing Line Lender making the same had no actual written notice from another Lender that an Event of Default had occurred and was continuing, but otherwise shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be solely for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender that gives such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against any other Lender, any Borrower, or any other Person, or any Borrower may have against any Lender or other Person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (3) any event or circumstance involving a Material Adverse Effect; (4) any breach of any Loan Document by any party thereto; or (5) any other circumstance, happening or event, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Subject to Section 2.01(d)(iii) below, each Revolving Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date (including any renewal periods) occurring not later than the earlier of (y) one year from the date of issuance thereof, or (z) 30 Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) LC Requests. Whenever the Company desires that a Revolving Letter of Credit be issued for its account or the account of any other LC Obligor, the Company shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuer written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent) (each such request, a “Revolving LC Request”), prior to 11:00 A.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) at least three Business Days, or in the case of any Revolving LC Request for a Revolving Letter of Credit denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to such LC Issuer), prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which Revolving LC Request shall include such supporting documents that such LC Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith (including, in the case of a Revolving Letter of Credit for an account party other than the Company, an application for, and if applicable a reimbursement agreement with respect to, such Letter of Credit). In the event of any inconsistency between any of the terms or provisions of any LC Document and the terms and provisions of this Agreement respecting Revolving Letters of Credit, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.

(iii) Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. If an LC Obligor so requests in any applicable Revolving LC Request, the applicable LC Issuer shall agree to issue a Revolving Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions; provided, however, that any Revolving Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions must permit such LC Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Revolving Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Revolving Letter of Credit is issued. Once any such Revolving Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such LC Issuer to permit the renewal of such Revolving Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than 30 Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that such LC Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) such LC Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Revolving Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date that such LC Issuer is permitted to send a notice of non-renewal from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.02 is not then satisfied.

(iv) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an LC Issuer and the applicable LC Obligor, when a Revolving Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance (including the International Chamber of Commerce’s decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit.

(v) Notice of LC Issuance. Each applicable LC Issuer shall, on the date of each Revolving LC Issuance by it, give the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender and the Company written notice of such Revolving LC Issuance, accompanied by a copy to the Administrative Agent of the Revolving Letter of Credit or Revolving Letters of Credit issued by it. Each applicable LC Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a quarterly (or monthly if requested by any applicable Lender) summary describing each Revolving Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuer and then outstanding and an identification for the relevant period of the daily aggregate Revolving LC Outstandings represented by Revolving Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer.

(vi) Reimbursement Obligations.

(A) The Company hereby agrees to reimburse (or cause any LC Obligor for whose account a Revolving Letter of Credit was issued to reimburse) each LC Issuer, by making payment directly to each such LC Issuer in immediately available funds at the payment office of each LC Issuer, for any Unpaid Drawing with respect to any Revolving Letter of Credit immediately after, and in any event on the date on which, such LC Issuer notifies the Company (or any such other LC Obligor for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued) of such payment or disbursement (which notice to the Company (or such other LC Obligor) shall be delivered reasonably promptly after any such payment or disbursement), such payment to be made in Dollars or in the applicable Designated Foreign Currency in which such Revolving Letter of Credit is denominated, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such LC Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 p.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such LC Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall be the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or, if not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement, at the Post-Default Rate, any such interest also to be payable on demand. If by 11:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the Business Day immediately following notice to it of its obligation to make reimbursement in respect of an Unpaid Drawing, the Company or the relevant LC Obligor has not made such reimbursement out of its available cash on hand or, in the case of the Company, a contemporaneous borrowing hereunder (if such borrowing is otherwise available to the Company), (x) the Company will in each case be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount sufficient to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Lenders of such deemed request for Revolving Loan), (y) the Lenders shall, unless they are legally prohibited from doing so, make the Revolving Loans contemplated by such deemed request (which Revolving Loans shall be considered made under Section 2.01), and (z) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be disbursed directly to such LC Issuer to the extent necessary to effect such reimbursement (and such disbursement shall be in full satisfaction of the obligation to make reimbursement in respect of such Unpaid Drawing), with any excess proceeds to be made available to the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(B) Each applicable LC Obligor’s obligation under this Section to reimburse each applicable LC 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 that such LC Obligor may have or have had against such LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Revolving Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Revolving Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that no LC Obligor shall be obligated to reimburse an LC Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Revolving Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer.

(A) Immediately upon each Revolving LC Issuance, the LC Issuer of such Revolving Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender with a Revolving Commitment, and each such Lender (each an “Revolving LC Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (an “Revolving LC Participation”), to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Revolving Letter of Credit in effect at such time of issuance, in such Revolving Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any LC Obligor under this Agreement with respect thereto (although LC Fees relating thereto shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as provided in Section 2.03(d) and the Revolving LC Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees of the nature contemplated by Section 2.03(d)(iii) or Section 2.03(d)(iv)), the obligations of any LC Obligor under any LC Documents pertaining thereto, and any security for, or guaranty pertaining to, any of the foregoing.

(B) In determining whether to pay under any Revolving Letter of Credit, an LC Issuer shall not have any obligation relative to the Revolving LC Participants other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Revolving Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Revolving Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an LC Issuer under or in connection with any Revolving Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for any LC Issuer any resulting liability.

(C) In the event that an LC Issuer makes any payment under any Revolving Letter of Credit and the applicable LC Obligor shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01(d)(vi), such LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving LC Participant of such failure, and each Revolving LC Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer, the amount of such Revolving LC Participant’s Revolving Percentage of

such payment in Dollars or in the applicable Designated Foreign Currency in which such Revolving Letter of Credit is denominated and in same-day funds; provided, however, that no Revolving LC Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Revolving Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer. If the Administrative Agent so notifies any Revolving LC Participant required to fund a payment under a Revolving Letter of Credit prior to 1:00 p.m. (local time at its Notice Office) on any Business Day, such Revolving LC Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer such Revolving LC Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same-day funds. If and to the extent such Revolving LC Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer, such Revolving LC Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC 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 Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Revolving LC Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer its Revolving Percentage of any payment under any Revolving Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Revolving LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer its Revolving Percentage of any payment under any Revolving Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Revolving LC Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving LC Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer such other Revolving LC Participant’s Revolving Percentage of any such payment.

(D) Whenever an LC Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such LC Issuer any payments from the Revolving LC Participants pursuant to subpart (C) above, such LC Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving LC Participant that has paid its Revolving Percentage thereof, in same-day funds, an amount equal to such Revolving LC Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective Revolving LC Participations, as and to the extent so received.

(E) The obligations of the Revolving LC Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each LC Issuer with respect to Revolving Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever 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: (1) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (2) the existence of any claim, set-off defense or other right that any LC Obligor may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Revolving Letter of Credit, any transferee of any

Revolving Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, any Lender, or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Revolving Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the applicable LC Obligor and the beneficiary named in any such Revolving Letter of Credit), other than any claim that the applicable LC Obligor may have against such LC Issuer for gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Issuer in making payment under any applicable Revolving Letter of Credit; (3) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Revolving 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; (4) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or (5) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

(F) To the extent an LC Issuer is not indemnified by the Company or any LC Obligor, the Revolving LC Participants will reimburse and indemnify such LC Issuer, in proportion to their respective Revolving Percentages, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such LC Issuer in performing its respective duties in any way related to or arising out of Revolving LC Issuances by it; provided, however, that no Revolving LC Participants shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(viii) Existing Letters of Credit. On and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued by National City as an LC Issuer hereunder, and each Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a Revolving Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof and under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Company agrees that it shall be liable with respect to any drawing made under any of the Existing Letters of Credit in accordance with this Section and the other provisions of this Agreement. The Company and National City agree that on and after the Closing Date (i) the fees applicable to each Existing Letter of Credit shall be the fees set forth in this Agreement and, (ii) to the extent there is any reimbursement agreement in effect with respect to any Existing Letter of Credit and the terms of such reimbursement agreement and this Agreement in any way conflict or are inconsistent, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(e) Canadian Letters of Credit.

(i) LC Issuances. During the Commitment Period, a Canadian Borrower may request an LC Issuer at any time and from time to time to issue, for the account of any LC Obligor, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each applicable LC Issuer agrees to issue from time to time Canadian Letters of Credit denominated and payable in Canadian Dollars in such form as may be approved by such LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Canadian LC Issuance shall be made if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the

Canadian LC Outstanding would exceed the Canadian LC Commitment Amount, (B) the Canadian Facility Exposure of any Canadian Lender would exceed such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment, (C) the Aggregate Canadian Facility Exposure would exceed the Total Canadian Commitment, or (D) the Canadian Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Canadian Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.02(b) hereof; provided, further, that such LC Issuer shall not issue any Canadian Letter of Credit if it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date of issuance from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.02 is not then satisfied. Subject to Section 2.01(e)(iii) below, each Canadian Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date (including any renewal periods) occurring not later than the earlier of (y) one year from the date of issuance thereof, or (z) 30 Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) LC Requests. Whenever a Canadian Borrower desires that a Canadian Letter of Credit be issued for its account or the account of any other LC Obligor, such Canadian Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuer written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent) (each such request, a “Canadian LC Request”), prior to 11:00 A.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which Canadian LC Request shall include such supporting documents that such LC Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith (including, in the case of a Canadian Letter of Credit for an account party other than such Canadian Borrower, an application for, and if applicable a reimbursement agreement with respect to, such Letter of Credit). In the event of any inconsistency between any of the terms or provisions of any LC Document and the terms and provisions of this Agreement respecting Canadian Letters of Credit, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.

(iii) Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. If an LC Obligor so requests in any applicable Canadian LC Request, the applicable LC Issuer shall agree to issue a Canadian Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions; provided, however, that any Canadian Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions must permit such LC Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Canadian Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Canadian Letter of Credit is issued. Once any such Canadian Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued, the Canadian Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such LC Issuer to permit the renewal of such Canadian Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than 30 Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that such LC Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) such LC Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Canadian Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date that such LC Issuer is permitted to send a notice of non-

renewal from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.02 is not then satisfied.

(iv) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an LC Issuer and the applicable LC Obligor, when a Canadian Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance (including the International Chamber of Commerce’s decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit.

(v) Notice of LC Issuance. Each applicable LC Issuer shall, on the date of each Canadian LC Issuance by it, give the Administrative Agent, each applicable Canadian Lender and the Company written notice of such Canadian LC Issuance, accompanied by a copy to the Administrative Agent of the Canadian Letter of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit issued by it. Each applicable LC Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a quarterly (or monthly if requested by any applicable Canadian Lender) summary describing each Canadian Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuer and then outstanding and an identification for the relevant period of the daily aggregate Canadian LC Outstandings represented by Canadian Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer.

(vi) Reimbursement Obligations.

(A) Each Canadian Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse (or cause any LC Obligor for whose account a Canadian Letter of Credit was issued to reimburse) each LC Issuer, by making payment directly to each such LC Issuer in immediately available funds at the payment office of each LC Issuer, for any Unpaid Drawing with respect to any Canadian Letter of Credit immediately after, and in any event on the date on which, such LC Issuer notifies such Canadian Borrower (or any such other LC Obligor for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued) of such payment or disbursement (which notice to such Canadian Borrower (or such other LC Obligor) shall be delivered reasonably promptly after any such payment or disbursement), such payment to be made in Canadian Dollars, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such LC Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 p.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such LC Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall be the rate then applicable to Canadian Revolving Loans that are Canadian Base Rate Loans or, if not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement, at the Post-Default Rate, any such interest also to be payable on demand. If by 11:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the Business Day immediately following notice to it of its obligation to make reimbursement in respect of an Unpaid Drawing, such Canadian Borrower or the relevant LC Obligor has not made such reimbursement out of its available cash on hand or, in the case of such Canadian Borrower, a contemporaneous borrowing hereunder (if such

borrowing is otherwise available to such Canadian Borrower), (x) such Canadian Borrower will in each case be deemed to have requested a Canadian Revolving Loan that is a Canadian Base Rate Loan in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount sufficient to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Lenders of such deemed request for a Canadian Revolving Loan), (y) the Canadian Lenders shall, unless they are legally prohibited from doing so, make the Canadian Revolving Loans contemplated by such deemed request (which Canadian Revolving Loans shall be considered made under Section 2.01), and (z) the proceeds of such Canadian Revolving Loans shall be disbursed directly to such LC Issuer to the extent necessary to effect such reimbursement (and such disbursement shall be in full satisfaction of the obligation to make reimbursement in respect of such Unpaid Drawing), with any excess proceeds to be made available to such Canadian Borrower in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(B) Each applicable LC Obligor’s obligation under this Section to reimburse each applicable LC 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 that such LC Obligor may have or have had against such LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Canadian Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Canadian Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that no LC Obligor shall be obligated to reimburse an LC Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Canadian Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer.

(vii) LC Participations.

(A) Immediately upon each Canadian LC Issuance, the LC Issuer of such Canadian Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Canadian Lender with a Canadian Commitment, and each such Canadian Lender (each an “Canadian LC Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (a “Canadian LC Participation”), to the extent of such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit in effect at such time of issuance, in such Canadian Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any LC Obligor under this Agreement with respect thereto (although LC Fees relating thereto shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders as provided in Section 2.03(e) and the Canadian LC Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees of the nature contemplated by Section 2.03(e)(iii) or Section 2.03(e)(iv)), the obligations of any LC Obligor under any LC Documents pertaining thereto, and any security for, or guaranty pertaining to, any of the foregoing.

(B) In determining whether to pay under any Canadian Letter of Credit, an LC Issuer shall not have any obligation relative to the Canadian LC

Participants other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Canadian Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Canadian Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an LC Issuer under or in connection with any Canadian Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for any LC Issuer any resulting liability.

(C) In the event that an LC Issuer makes any payment under any Canadian Letter of Credit and the applicable LC Obligor shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01(e)(vi), such LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Canadian LC Participant of such failure, and each Canadian LC Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer, the amount of such Canadian LC Participant’s Canadian Commitment Percentage of such payment in Canadian Dollars and in same-day funds; provided, however, that no Canadian LC Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent its Canadian Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Canadian Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer. If the Administrative Agent so notifies any Canadian LC Participant required to fund a payment under a Canadian Letter of Credit prior to 1:00 p.m. (local time at its Notice Office) on any Business Day, such Canadian LC Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer such Canadian LC Participant’s Canadian Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same-day funds. If and to the extent such Canadian LC Participant shall not have so made its Canadian Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer, such Canadian LC Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC 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 Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Canadian LC Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer its Canadian Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Canadian Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Canadian LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer its Canadian Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Canadian Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Canadian LC Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Canadian LC Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer such other Canadian LC Participant’s Canadian Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

Percentage thereof, in same-day funds, an amount equal to such Canadian LC Participant’s Canadian Commitment Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective Canadian LC Participations, as and to the extent so received.

(E) The obligations of the Canadian LC Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each LC Issuer with respect to Canadian Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever 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: (1) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (2) the existence of any claim, set-off defense or other right that any LC Obligor may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Canadian Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Canadian Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, any Lender, or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Canadian Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the applicable LC Obligor and the beneficiary named in any such Canadian Letter of Credit), other than any claim that the applicable LC Obligor may have against such LC Issuer for gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Issuer in making payment under any applicable Canadian Letter of Credit; (3) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Canadian 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; (4) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or (5) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

(F) To the extent an LC Issuer is not indemnified by a Canadian Borrower or any applicable LC Obligor, the Canadian LC Participants will reimburse and indemnify such LC Issuer, in proportion to their respective Canadian Commitment Percentages, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such LC Issuer in performing its respective duties in any way related to or arising out of Canadian LC Issuances by it; provided, however, that no Canadian LC Participants shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Upon execution and delivery by the Company, each Canadian Borrower and each such Increasing Canadian Lender and/or Augmenting Canadian Lender of an instrument of assumption and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each such Increasing Canadian Lender and/or Augmenting Canadian Lender shall have a Canadian Commitment as therein set forth; provided that (i) such increase may only occur once, on a single date, (ii) the Company shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent not less than 30 days prior to the proposed increase date, which shall promptly notify the other Lenders, (iii) the aggregate amount of all such increases shall not exceed $75,000,000, and (iv) the sum of the Total Revolving Commitment and Total Canadian Commitment, after giving effect to such increase, shall at no time exceed $575,000,000.

The foregoing fees shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Canadian Letter of Credit.

The Company agrees to pay directly to each LC Issuer upon each issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit, drawing under, or amendment, extension, renewal or transfer of, a Canadian Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as shall at the time of such issuance, drawing under, amendment, extension, renewal or transfer be the processing charge that such LC Issuer is customarily charging for issuances of, drawings under or amendments, extensions, renewals or transfers of, letters of credit issued by it and other reasonable fees and expenses related to such Canadian Letter of Credit.

2.05 Several Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender.

2.06 Notes. Upon request of any Lender, (i) the Company will execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender, (ii) each Foreign Revolving Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence its obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender, (iii) the Canadian Borrowers will execute and deliver to each Canadian Lender a BA Equivalent Note and a Canadian Base Rate Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence their obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Canadian Revolving Loans made to them by such Lender, and (iv) the Company will execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a Swing Line Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Swing Loans made to it by the Swing Line Lender; provided, however, that the decision

2.07 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrowers to refinance existing indebtedness for borrowed money and for working capital and other general corporate and limited liability company purposes, including, without limitation, to finance acquisitions and to backstop the issuance of commercial paper. None of such proceeds shall be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

2.08 Authority of Company; Liability of Foreign Borrowers.

(a) Authority of the Company. Each Foreign Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Company to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers (including, but not limited to, requesting a Loan or Letter of Credit for such Foreign Borrowers hereunder) and perform such duties as such Foreign Borrower could exercise on its own (which the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, do), together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, with all such actions by the Company that purport to be on behalf of any Foreign Borrower being sufficient, without any further action or authorization by such Foreign Borrower, to bind such Foreign Borrower. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely upon all statements, certificates, notices, consents, affidavits, letters, cablegrams, telegrams, facsimile transmissions, electronic transmissions, e-mails, telex or teletype messages, orders or other documents or conversations furnished or made by the Company pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, as being made or furnished on behalf of, and with the effect of irrevocably binding, each Foreign Borrower, without any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the authority of the Company in so doing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each LC Issuer may also rely on or act in accordance with directions or instructions coming directly from any such Foreign Borrower.

(b) Liability of Foreign Borrowers. The parties intend that this Agreement shall in all circumstances be interpreted to provide that each Foreign Borrower is liable only for Loans made to such Foreign Borrower, interest on such Loans, such Foreign Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for its account and its ratable share of any of the other Obligations, including, without limitation, general fees, reimbursements and charges hereunder and under any other Loan Document that are attributable to it. The liability of any Foreign Borrower for the payment of any of the Obligations or the performance of its covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be several from but not joint with the Obligations of any other Borrower. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit, nor shall it be deemed to limit, any of the liability of the Company for any of the Obligations, whether in its primary capacity as a Borrower, pursuant to its guaranty obligations set forth in Section 12, at law or otherwise.

SECTION 4. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.

4.01 Repayment of Loans.

(a) All of the Loans (other than Swing Loans) shall mature no later than the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Each Swing Loan shall mature on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto.

4.02 Interest. The applicable Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (other than BA Equivalent Loans) made by such Lender to such Borrower for the period commencing on the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(a) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate;

(b) if such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

(d) if such Loan is a Foreign Currency Loan, the applicable Adjusted Foreign Currency Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

(e) if such Loan is a Swing Loan, the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Notwithstanding the above provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred which has not been cured or waived in writing in accordance with Section 13.01 hereof, upon written notice by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give at the direction of the Majority Lenders), (i) all outstanding amounts of principal and, to the extent permitted by law, all overdue interest, in respect of each Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, and (ii) the fees applicable to Revolving LC Outstandings and Canadian LC Outstandings shall be increased by an additional 2% per annum in excess of the fees otherwise applicable thereto. In addition, if any Unpaid Drawing or any amount (other than amounts as to which the foregoing subparts (i) and (ii) are applicable) payable by any Borrower under the Loan Documents is not paid when due, upon written notice by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give at the direction of the Majority Lenders), such amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Post-Default Rate.

Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, on each Quarterly Date, (ii) if such Loan is a Fixed Rate Loan (other than a BA Equivalent Loan),

on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (and, if such Interest Period exceeds three months’ duration, quarterly, commencing on the first quarterly anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period), (iii) if such Loan is a Swing Loan, on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto, (iv) if such Loan is a Canadian Base Rate Loan, in arrears on the last Business Day of each month, and (v) in any event, upon the payment, prepayment or conversion thereof, but only on the principal so paid or prepaid or converted; provided that interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Company thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02, if at any time the rate of interest set forth above on any Loan of or other obligation payable to any Lender (the “Stated Rate”) exceeds the maximum non-usurious interest rate permissible for such Lender to charge commercial borrowers under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate” for such Lender), the rate of interest charged on such Loan of or other obligation payable to such Lender hereunder shall be limited to the Maximum Rate for such Lender.

If the Stated Rate for any Loan of a Lender that has theretofore been subject to the preceding paragraph at any time is less than the Maximum Rate for such Lender, the principal amount of such Loan shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate for such Lender until the total amount of interest paid to such Lender or accrued on its Loans hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid to such Lender or accrued on such Lender’s Loans hereunder if the Stated Rate had at all times been in effect.

If, upon payment in full of all amounts payable hereunder, the total amount of interest paid to any Lender or accrued on such Lender’s Loans under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would have been paid to such Lender or accrued on such Lender’s Loans if the Stated Rate had, at all times, been in effect, then the applicable Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on such Lender’s Loans if the Maximum Rate for such Lender had at all times been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued on such Lender’s Loans if the Stated Rate had at all times been in effect and (b) the amount of interest actually paid to such Lender or accrued on its Loans under this Agreement.

If any Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate for such Lender, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of its Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Company.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; COMPUTATIONS; ETC.

The Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account of the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall, at the time of making each payment hereunder or under any Note, specify to the Administrative Agent the Loans or other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply such payment as it may elect in its sole discretion to amounts then due, but subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 5.02 and 10.02 hereof). Each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note for the account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds, for the account of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. If the due date of any payment hereunder or under any Note would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.

5.02 Pro Rata Treatment.

(b) Canadian Revolving Loans. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each borrowing from the Canadian Lenders under Section 2.01(b) hereof shall be made from the Canadian Lenders, each payment of facility fees under Section 2.03(a)(ii) and (b)(ii) hereof shall be made for the account of the Canadian Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the Canadian Commitments under Section 2.02 hereof shall be applied to the Canadian Commitments of the Canadian Lenders, pro rata according to the Canadian Lenders’ respective Canadian Commitment Percentages; (ii) each payment by a Canadian Borrower of principal of or interest on Canadian Revolving Loans of a particular Type (other than payments in respect of Canadian Revolving Loans of individual Canadian Lenders provided for by Section 6 hereof) shall be made to the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Canadian Revolving Loans held by the Canadian Lenders; and (iii) each conversion of Canadian Revolving Loans of a particular Type (other than conversions of Canadian Revolving Loans of individual Canadian Lenders pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof) shall be made pro rata among the Canadian Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of such Canadian Revolving Loans held by the Canadian Lenders.

(c) Swing Loans. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each payment by the Company of principal of or interest on Swing Loans shall be made to the Administrative Agent.

All computations of interest on Fixed Rate Loans (other than BA Equivalent Loans) and Swing Loans hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, all computations of interest on Base Rate Loans and Unpaid Drawings hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and all computations of the Applicable BA Discount Rate with respect to BA Equivalent Loans shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days. For purposes of this Agreement and disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever interest to be paid on a Canadian Revolving Loan is to be calculated on the basis of a period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by such lesser period of time.

5.04 No Setoff, Counterclaim or Defense. All payments made by any Borrower hereunder, under any Note or any other Loan Document, shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

Each such notice of duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of the contents of each such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swing Loans). In the event that any Borrower fails to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Fixed Rate Loans within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 5.05, such Loans (if outstanding as Fixed Rate Loans) will be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loans or (if outstanding as Base Rate Loans) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Foreign Currency Loan may not be converted into a Base Rate Loan and, if not continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period, must be repaid by the applicable Borrower in full at the end of such Interest Period.

5.06 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or the Company (the “Payor”) prior to the date on (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans or Swing Loans, prior to the time by) which such Lender is to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or any Borrower is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date (or at such time) and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of

the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent receives such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such period.

5.07 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) Generally.

(i) Subject to subpart (c) below, if at any time any Lender receives any amount (other than amounts that are received from a Canadian Borrower with respect to the Canadian Obligations and are subject to subpart (a)(ii) below) hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) that is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans (other than Swing Loans), LC Participations, Swing Loan Participations or fees (other than fees that are intended to be paid solely to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or a LC Issuer and amounts payable to a Lender under Section 6), of a sum that with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender (based on such Lender’s ratable share thereof as determined in accordance with Section 5.02, Section 10.02 or specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations (other than the Canadian Obligations) to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount.

(ii) Canadian Facility. Subject to subpart (c) below, if at any time any Canadian Lender receives any amount hereunder from the Canadian Borrowers (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) that is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Canadian Revolving Loans, Canadian LC Participations or fees (other than fees that are intended to be paid solely to LC Issuers and amounts payable to a Canadian Lender under Section 6) of a sum that with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Canadian Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total such Canadian Obligations then owed and due to such Canadian Lender bears to the total of such Canadian Obligation then owed and due to all of the Canadian Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Canadian Lenders an interest in the Canadian Obligations to such Canadian Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Canadian Lenders in such amount.

(b) Recovery of Amounts. If any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to subparts (i) or (ii) above is recovered in whole or in part from such Lender, such original purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored ratably to the extent of the recovery.

(c) Sharing after Sharing Date. If at any time on or after the Sharing Date, the Credit Facility Exposure owing to any Lender is greater than an amount equal to such Lender’s Sharing Percentage of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure, then on such date each of the other Lenders shall purchase from such Lender for cash at par an amount of the Obligations of such Lender as shall be necessary such that the Credit Facility Exposure owing to such Lender is equal to the amount of its Sharing Percentage of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure.

(d) Consent of Borrowers. The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

5.08 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 5.01, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) except as provided in subsection (g) below, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.08), such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) will pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or any other document referred to herein or therein (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Company and, subject to Section 2.08(b) hereof, each other Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including related penalties, interest and expenses) imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5.08 paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the

date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. It is understood that Taxes and Other Taxes do not include any withholdings or other obligations imposed on a Lender with respect to payments by such Lender to a participant in such Lender’s Loans.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) or a Lender, in the case of any Taxes paid by such Lender, will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.02 hereof, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) At the reasonable request of the Company, a Lender or the Administrative Agent shall apply at the Company’s expense for a refund in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes previously paid or deducted by such Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.08 if in the opinion of such Lender or Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, there is a reasonable basis for such refund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to pursue such refund if, in its sole good faith judgment, such action would be disadvantageous to it. If any Lender subsequently receives from a taxing authority a refund of any Tax previously paid or deducted by the Company or a Borrower and for which the Company has indemnified or increased a payment to the Lender pursuant to this Section 5.08, such Lender shall within 30 days after receipt of such refund, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay to the Company or applicable Borrower the net amount of any such recovery after deducting taxes and expenses attributable thereto.

(f) Not later than the Closing Date or, in the case of any bank or financial institution that becomes a Lender after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 13.06, the date of the instrument of assignment pursuant to which such bank or financial institution became a Lender, and annually thereafter or at such other times as the Administrative Agent or the Company may request, each Lender with a Revolving Commitment organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Company with duly completed copies of Form 1001 or Form 4224 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder or other documents satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent indicating that all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder are not subject to such taxes (an “Exemption Certificate”). In the case of payments to or for any Lender with a Revolving Commitment organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, unless the Administrative Agent and the Company have received an Exemption Certificate from such Lender, the Company, or the Administrative Agent if the Company has not withheld, may withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate; provided that if the Company has withheld it shall so notify the Administrative Agent. If the Company is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this Section 5.08, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will thereafter avoid the need for any additional payments under this Section 5.08 and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A Lender with a Revolving Commitment which ceases to be exempt from United States withholding taxes shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Company promptly thereof.

(g) If a Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States fails to comply with the provisions of subsection (f) above, then the Company shall not have any obligation to increase the sum payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 5.08(a) or to indemnify such Lender pursuant to Section 5.08(b) for Taxes (including related penalties, interest and expenses) imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof.

SECTION 6. YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY.

6.01 Additional Costs.

(a) Each Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and each LC Issuer from time to time such amounts as such Lender or such LC Issuer may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by such Lender or such LC Issuer which such Lender or such LC Issuer determines are attributable to its making, issuing or maintaining of any Fixed Rate Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or its obligation to make or issue any of such Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or Letters of Credit or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender or any LC Issuer under this Agreement or its Notes or Letters of Credit in respect of any of such Loans or Letters of Credit (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of such Lender or such LC Issuer or of its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans or Letters of Credit by the jurisdiction in which such Lender or such LC Issuer has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office); or

(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender or any LC Issuer (including any of such Loans or Letters of Credit or any deposits referred to in the definitions of “Eurodollar Base Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof but excluding, with respect to any such Fixed Rate Loan, any such requirements included in the applicable Eurodollar Reserve Requirement); or

(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

Each LC Issuer and the Lenders each will notify the Company and each other applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf), through the Administrative Agent of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Lender or such LC Issuer to compensation pursuant to this Section 6.01(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and (if so requested by the Company through the Administrative Agent) will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the relevant Type of Fixed Rate Loans of such Lender if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of

such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender (provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to so designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America). Each Lender and/or LC Issuer, as applicable, will furnish the Company with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender or such LC Issuer for compensation under this Section 6.01(a). If any Lender or LC Issuer requests compensation from any Borrower under this Section 6.01(a), such Borrower may, by notice to such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, through the Administrative Agent, suspend the obligation of such Lender or LC Issuer to make additional Fixed Rate Loans of the relevant Type or issue Letters of Credit to the Borrowers until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.04 hereof shall be applicable).

(b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender or LC Issuer which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Type of Fixed Rate Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender or LC Issuer which includes any Type of Fixed Rate Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Lender or LC Issuer so elects by notice to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and each other Borrower, as applicable, the obligation of such Lender or LC Issuer to make Fixed Rate Loans of the relevant Type or issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.04 hereof shall be applicable).

(c) Determinations and allocations by any Lender, or any LC Issuer for purposes of this Section 6.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit or of making, issuing or maintaining Loans or Letters of Credit or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans or Letters of Credit, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Lender or LC Issuer in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be required to compensate any Lender or LC Issuer for any Additional Costs incurred more than one year prior to the date that such Lender or LC Issuer notifies such Borrower thereof, unless such Additional Costs were caused by the retroactive application of a Regulatory Change to a date more than one year prior to the date of such notice.

6.02 Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, with respect to any Fixed Rate Loans:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Base Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof are not being provided by the Reference Lenders in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for such Loans for Interest Periods therefor as provided in this Agreement; or

(b) the Majority Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Base Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the rates of interest for such Loans are to be determined do not accurately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for Interest Periods therefor;

then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and each Lender thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans of the relevant Type or to convert Base Rate Loans into Fixed Rate Loans of the relevant Type and the Company shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Fixed Rate Loans of the relevant Type, either prepay such Loans or convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 3.02 hereof.

6.03 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to (a) honor its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans of any Type hereunder, or (b) maintain Fixed Rate Loans of any Type hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Company thereof through the Administrative Agent and such Lender’s obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans of such Type hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Fixed Rate Loans of such Type (in which case the provisions of Section 6.04 hereof shall be applicable).

6.04 Substitute Base Rate Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make Fixed Rate Loans of any Type shall be suspended pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Fixed Rate Loans of such Type shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (and, if an event referred to in Section 6.01(b) or 6.03 hereof has occurred and such Lender so requests by notice to the Company with a copy to the Administrative Agent, each Fixed Rate Loan of such Type of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Fixed Rate Loans of such Type are so made as (or converted into) Base Rate Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Fixed Rate Loans of such Type shall be applied instead to such Base Rate Loans, except that no Foreign Currency Loan maybe converted into a Base Rate Loan hereunder and each such Foreign Currency Loan must be repaid in full by the applicable Borrower.

6.05 Compensation. Each Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Fixed Rate Loan made by such Borrower on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by any Borrower to borrow a Fixed Rate Loan to be made by such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing under Section 5.05 hereof or Section 3.03 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be required to compensate any Lender for any such loss, cost or expense incurred more than one year prior to the date that such Lender notifies such Borrower thereof.

6.06 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty 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 any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive issued after the date hereof 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 reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), each applicable Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. A statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

6.07 Substitution of Lender. If (i) any Borrower is required to withhold with respect to any Lender pursuant to Section 5.08, (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.06 or (iii) the obligation of any Lender to make Fixed Rate Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(ii) or Section 6.03, and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall have the right to request one or more substitute banks, financial institutions or funds (which may be one or more of the Lenders) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to purchase such Lender’s Note and assume such Lender’s Commitment hereunder by paying to such Lender an amount equal to all of the obligations of all Borrowers to such Lender hereunder including, without limitation, principal and accrued interest and fees. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with assisting the Company pursuant hereto shall be paid upon demand by the Company. The Administrative Agent shall respond promptly to any request by the Company for its consent to a substitute for a Lender.

8.02 Information.

(a) All information heretofore furnished by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby did not as of the date thereof and will not as of the Closing Date contain any untrue statement of a material fact or assumption or omit to state a material fact or assumption necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

(b) Without limiting the generality of paragraph (a):

(i) The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2006 and the audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

(ii) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of August 31, 2006 and the unaudited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months then ended have been prepared

8.03 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, there are no legal or arbitral proceedings or any proceedings by or before any governmental or regulatory authority or agency, now pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner draw into question the validity of any material provision of any Loan Document. The disclosure of litigation to the Lenders pursuant to this Section does not necessarily mean that such litigation is of the type described in this Section or that the Company believes that such litigation has any merit whatsoever.

8.04 No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent under, the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any Loan Document or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or constitute a default under any such material agreement or instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the revenues or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

SECTION 11. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

11.01 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the Notes with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent (which term as used in this Section 11 shall include reference to its affiliates and its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Notes, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any Note be a trustee for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the Notes, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any the Notes, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Note or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; (c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or

under any Note except to the extent requested by the Majority Lenders, and (d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any Note or any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

11.02 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the Notes, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and thereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Majority Lenders and such instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

11.03 Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans or facility or utilization fees) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Company specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such non-payment). The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 11.07 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

11.04 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, National City in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Company (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent may accept fees and other consideration from the Company (in addition to the agency fees and arrangement fees heretofore agreed to between the Company, the Administrative Agent) for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

11.05 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 13.03 or 13.04 hereof, but without limiting the

obligations of the Company under said Sections 13.03 and 13.04), ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Company is obligated to pay under Sections 13.03 and 13.04 hereof but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

11.06 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Company and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or its Note or Notes. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Company or any other Person of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Company or any other Person. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the Notes, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company or any other Person (or any of their affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent.

11.07 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any Note, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction by the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 11.05 hereof against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

11.08 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent (the “Notice Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders,

appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company. Any successor Administrative Agent shall be (i) a Lender or (ii) if no Lender has accepted such appointment within 40 days after the Notice Date, a bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

11.09 Other Agents. Except as specifically set forth herein with respect to the Arrangers, any Lender identified herein as a Co-Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Managing Agent, Manager, Book Runner, Joint Book Runner or any other corresponding title, other than “Administrative Agent,” shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document except those applicable to all Lenders as such. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking any action hereunder.

11.10 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (a) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (b) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (i) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (ii) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

12.02 Additional Undertaking. As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, the Company unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors that, should any amounts not be recoverable from the Company under Section 12.01 for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law) then, notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person, at any time, the Company as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, will make payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Benefited Creditors, of all such obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Loan Documents or any other applicable agreement or instrument.

(d) any change in the corporate or limited liability company existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or other Subsidiary or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Company Guaranteed Obligation;

(g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Section other than the irrevocable payment in full of all Company Guaranteed Obligations.

12.04 Company Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration. The Company’s obligations under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other Company Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the Company, any other Borrower or other Subsidiary, under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Company Guaranteed Obligations, shall have been paid in full.

(iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,

(v) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the selling Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that the participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.08 and 6 to the extent that such Lender would be entitled to such benefits if the participation had not been entered into or sold,

and, provided further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to the departure therefrom except to the extent such amendment or waiver or consent would (w) extend the final scheduled maturity of the Loans or Letter of Credit in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof or extend the time of payment thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any such Commitment), (x) release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the Obligations, except strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (y) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(i) Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, a fixed portion, of its Loans, Revolving LC Participations, Canadian LC Participations, Swing Loan Participations and/or Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that

(A) except in the case (x) of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments or (y) an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes the Loans outstanding thereunder) shall not be less than $5,000,000;

(C) in the case of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee at the time of any such assignment the Lender Register shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders;

(E) unless waived by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative 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, except, in the case of (i) one or more assignments to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or an Approved Fund of the assigning Lender, in which case the assignment fee for all such assignments shall be $1,000, and (ii) an assignment involving the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as a Lender), in which case there shall be no fee required.

(ii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments.

To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to this subpart (c) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 6 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Company shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(iv) With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment 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 Administrative Agent on the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to this subpart (c).

(v) Nothing in this Section shall prevent or prohibit (A) any Lender that is a bank, trust company or other financial institution from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal

Reserve Bank, or (B) any Lender that is a trust, limited liability company, partnership or other investment company from pledging its Notes or Loans to a trustee or agent for the benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities issued by it. No such pledge, or any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of an enforcement of such a pledge, shall relieve the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(d) No SEC Registration or Blue Sky Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any state.

(e) Representations of Lenders. Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this Section will, upon its becoming party to this Agreement, represent that it is a commercial lender, other financial institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that makes or acquires loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that subject to the preceding Section 13.06(b) and (c), the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

13.07 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to keep confidential any information delivered or made available by the Company to it prior to the end of the term of this Agreement which is clearly indicated to be confidential information; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing such information (i) to any other Lender, (ii) to its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, attorneys and accountants who have a need to know such information in accordance with customary banking practices and who receive such information having been made aware of the restrictions set forth in this Section, (iii) upon the order (which, for avoidance of doubt, includes any subpoena) of any court or administrative agency, (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Lender, (v) which has been publicly disclosed, (vi) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Company or their respective affiliates may be a party, (vii) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (viii) to such Lender’s legal counsel and independent auditors, and (ix) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.07.

13.08 Limitations on Liability of the LC Issuers. Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. No LC Issuer or any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by an LC Issuer against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or

(d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that any account party with respect to a Letter of Credit shall have a claim against an LC Issuer, and an LC Issuer shall be liable to such account party, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such account party that such account party proves were caused by (i) such LC Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such LC Issuer’s willful failure to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an LC Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.

13.09 Canadian Interest Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in section 347 of the Criminal Code, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, C. 46 as the same may be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time) payable under this Agreement with respect to the Canadian Obligations exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) under this Agreement lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the applicable Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to such Canadian Borrower; for purposes of this Agreement the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the applicable credit advanced on the basis of annual compounding of the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent will be conclusive for the purposes of such determination. The amount of the payment that is to be refunded will be determined by the Administrative Agent.

13.10 Judgment Currency. If the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, obtains a judgment or judgments against any Borrower in a Designated Foreign Currency, the obligations of such Borrower in respect of any sum adjudged to be due to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Judgment Amount”) shall be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Judgment Amount in the Designated Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent, in accordance with normal banking procedures, may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Amount in such Designated Foreign Currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or dates the Judgment Amount (excluding the portion of the Judgment Amount which has accrued as a result of the failure of such Borrower to pay the sum originally due hereunder or under the Notes when it was originally due hereunder or under the Notes) was originally due and owing (the “Original Due Date”) to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Loss”), such Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against the Loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the amount of Dollars that could have been

purchased with the Judgment Amount on the Original Due Date, the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

13.11 Survival. The obligations of the Company under Sections 5.08, 6.01, 6.05, 13.03 and 13.04 hereof and the obligations of the Lenders under Sections 11.05 and 13.07 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments.

13.12 Captions. The table of contents and the captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

13.13 Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, relating to the subject matter hereof (except to the extent specific reference is made to any such agreement in Section 2.03 hereof).

13.14 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF OHIO, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. EACH BORROWER HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO AND OF ANY OHIO STATE COURT SITTING IN CLEVELAND, OHIO FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LC ISSUER AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
