Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contrary in this Agreement, (a) no Availability Reserves or Eligibility Reserves shall be established or changed and no modifications to eligibility criteria or standards made, in each case, except upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the applicable Borrower, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Availability Reserve or Eligibility Reserve being established or the modification to eligibility criteria or standards being made (during which period (i) the Administrative Agent shall, if requested, discuss any such Availability Reserve or Eligibility Reserve, change or modification with the applicable Borrower, (ii) the applicable Borrower may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Availability Reserve or Eligibility Reserve, change or modification thereto no longer exists or exists in a manner that would result in the establishment of a lower Availability Reserve or Eligibility Reserve or result in a lesser change or modification thereto, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (iii) no Credit Extensions shall be made to the Borrowers if after giving effect to such Credit Extension the Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the applicable Maximum Credit at such time less such Availability Reserve or Eligibility Reserve), provided that no Landlord Lien Reserves may be established unless Eligible Inventory is included in the Borrowing Base or prior to the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), (b) the amount of any Availability Reserve or Eligibility Reserve established by the Administrative Agent, and any change in the amount of any Availability Reserve or Eligibility Reserve and any modification to eligibility criteria and standards, shall have a direct and reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for such Reserve or such change and (c) no Availability Reserve or Eligibility Reserve shall be duplicative of any Availability Reserve or Eligibility Reserve already accounted for through eligibility criteria or constitute a general Availability Reserve or Eligibility Reserve applicable to all inventory or Accounts that is the functional equivalent of a decrease in advance rates. Notwithstanding clause (a) of the preceding sentence, changes to the Reserves solely for purposes of correcting mathematical or clerical errors shall not be subject to such notice period, it being understood that no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to result therefrom, if applicable, for a period of six (6) Business Days.

1.6 Limited Condition Acquisition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition

-59-

(other than (a) the making by any Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, of any Credit Extension unless otherwise agreed by such Lender or Issuing Bank and (b) determining Excess Availability for purposes of the Payment Conditions, other than with respect to any Limited Condition Acquisition that is to be financed solely with proceeds of newly committed financing not constituting Revolving Commitments hereunder), for purposes of:

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio and the Term Loan Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio;

(ii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets determined by reference to EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets); or

(iii) determining other compliance with this Agreement (including the determination that no Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom) or if the representations and warranties are true and correct;

in each case, at the option of Borrowers (Borrowers’ election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be made in the case of any Acquisition (including by way of merger or amalgamation) or similar Investment (including the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith), at the time of (or, in the case of any calculation or any financial ratio or test, with respect to, or as of the last day of, the most recently ended four quarter fiscal period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition or Investment, (y) the public announcement of an intention to make an offer in respect of the target of such Acquisition or Investment or (z) the consummation of such acquisition or Investment (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, for the Limited Condition Acquisition (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith), the Borrowers or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrowers have made an LCA Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date would have failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of such Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrowers have made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments, the making of any Investment, mergers or amalgamations, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (each, a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement, public announcement or irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated, revoked or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

1.7 Timing of Payment or Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is

-60-

not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as specifically set forth herein) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.

Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 (the “Funding Notice”), specifying (1) the date of such proposed Borrowing, (2) whether such Borrowing will be made as a US Revolving Loan or a Canadian Revolving Loan, (3) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (4) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, (5) for each Eurodollar Rate Loan, the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods thereof and (6) for each B/A Borrowing, the initial Contract Period or Contract Periods thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans having an Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period” or “Contract Period”, as applicable, the applicable notice must be

-61-

received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four (4) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) before the date of the proposed Borrowing having an Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable, other than one, two, three or six months in duration, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each applicable Lender whose consent is required with a relevant Revolving Commitment of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period or Contract Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the proposed date of such Borrowing having an Interest Period or Contract Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period or Contract Period has been consented to by such Lenders. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or Cdn$1,000,000, as applicable) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or Cdn$1,000,000, as applicable) in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and each Borrowing of B/A Equivalent Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than Cdn$2,000,000 or an integral multiple of Cdn$1,000,000.

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Funding Notice and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans are properly requested in such Funding Notice, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.17(a). Each applicable Lender shall, before 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed Borrowing. Subject to fulfillment (A) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 and (B) at any time (including the Closing Date), of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, and after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the applicable Borrower; provided that Protective Advances shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and disbursed in its discretion.

(iii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.1(c) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (B) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate (in the case of Dollars) and the Bank of Canada Overnight Rate (in the case of Canadian Dollars) for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If such Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to such Borrower.

-62-

(iv) The failure of any Defaulting Lender to make on the date specified any Loan or any payment required by it, including any payment in respect of its participation in Swing Line Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except as provided in clause (g) below, be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Loan, as applicable, to the applicable Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Line Loans to the applicable Swing Line Lender. To the extent that any Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender, the applicable Borrower shall repay such Swing Line Loan on demand, no later than one Business Day after receiving such demand (it being understood and agreed that in the event of such demand for payment, the applicable Borrower shall be permitted to make a Borrowing of Revolving Loans to satisfy such reimbursement obligation).

(g) Upon the occurrence of a Default under Sections 8.1(f) or (g) or at any other time upon the request of the Administrative Agent or a Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each applicable Swing Line Loan otherwise required to be repaid by such Lender pursuant to clause (f) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan, by paying to the applicable Swing Line Lender on the date on which such Lender would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Line Loan pursuant to clause (f) above, in immediately available funds in the currency as such Swing Line Loan, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan.

(h) From and after the date on which any Lender (i) is deemed to have made a Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (f) above with respect to any Swing Line Loan or (ii) purchases an undivided participation interest in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to clause (g) above, the applicable Swing Line Lender shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal of and

-64-

Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(f) or (g) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the applicable Borrower in the principal amount of such payment and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations shall be reduced by the amount of such deemed Revolving Loans. Whenever any Issuing Bank receives from the applicable Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment from a Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuing Bank shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

(i) If and to the extent a Lender shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate (in the case of Dollars) or the Bank of Canada Overnight Rate (in the case of Canadian Dollars) and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable.

(j) The applicable Borrower’s obligation to pay its Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the applicable Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Banks with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Credit Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Credit Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a 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;

-68-

(v) in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, and subject to the standards set forth below in this clause (j), payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Bank to the applicable Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuing Bank.

(k) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrowers for, and no Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against a Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

2.4 Pro Rata Shares. Subject to Section 2.21, all Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

2.5 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.6 Evidence of Debt; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of each Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or any Borrower’s

-69-

Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, such Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is a permitted assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after such Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.

2.7 Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) in the case of Revolving Loans made to the US Borrower:

(1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(2) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

(ii) in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans made to the Canadian Borrower:

(1) if a Canadian Prime Loan, at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

(2) if a Canadian Base Rate Loan, at the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

(3) if a B/A Borrowing, at the CDOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(4) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan made in Dollars, at the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

(iii) in the case of US Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

(iv) in the case of Canadian Swing Line Loans made to the Canadian Borrower, if denominated in Canadian Dollars, at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin and if denominated in Dollars, at the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

(v) in the case of Protective Advances, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

(vi) in the case of Protective Advances to the Canadian Borrower if denominated in Canadian Dollars, at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin and if denominated in Dollars, at the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

-70-

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan to the US Borrower (except a US Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans only), and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by the US Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan the Interest Period has ended and a Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan until the receipt by the Administrative Agent and effectiveness of a Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to such Base Rate Loan.

(c) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan to the Canadian Borrower (except a Canadian Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as Canadian Prime Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans only), and the Contract Period with respect to any B/A Equivalent Loan or the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by the Canadian Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If with respect to any B/A Equivalent Loans, the Contract Period has ended and a Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then such Loan shall be a Canadian Prime Loan, until the receipt by the Administrative Agent and effectiveness of a Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to such Canadian Prime Loan. If with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period has ended and a Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then such Loan shall be continued as Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month, until the receipt by the Administrative Agent and effectiveness of a Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to such Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(d) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans, there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In connection with B/A Equivalent Loans, there shall be no more than ten (10) Contract Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the US Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, will be automatically converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or if not then outstanding, will be made as a Base Rate Loan. In the event the Canadian Borrower fails to specify between a Canadian Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, will be automatically converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan or if outstanding as a Canadian Base Rate Loan will remain as, or if not then outstanding, will be made as a Canadian Base Rate Loan. In the event the Canadian Borrower fails to specify between a Canadian Prime Loan or a B/A Equivalent Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan if outstanding as a B/A Equivalent Loan, will be automatically converted into a B/A Equivalent Loan with an Contract Period of one month on the last day of the then-current Contract Period for such Loan or if outstanding as a Canadian Prime Loan will remain as, or if not then outstanding, will be made as a Canadian Prime Loan. In the event the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the US Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. In the event the Canadian Borrower fails to specify a Contract Period for any B/A Equivalent Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Contract Period of one month. On each Interest Payment Date, as soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York time) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be final, conclusive and bind-

-71-

ing upon all parties in the absence of manifest error) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan, as applicable, for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period or Contract Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the US Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and each applicable Lender.

(e) All interest payable pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, (ii) in the case of Canadian Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Loans and B/A Equivalent Loans on the basis of a 365-day year, and (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period or Contract Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Canadian Prime Loan being converted from a B/A Equivalent Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan or such B/A Equivalent Loan to such Canadian Prime Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period or Contract Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Canadian Prime Loan being converted to a B/A Equivalent Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan or such Canadian Prime Loan to such B/A Equivalent Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(f) (i) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Revolving Loan made to the US Borrower (A) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable by the US Borrower in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (B) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable by the US Borrower in arrears upon any prepayment of such US Revolving Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (C) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable by the US Borrower in arrears at maturity of such Revolving Loans, including final maturity of the US Revolving Loans; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date, and (ii) except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Canadian Revolving Loan made to the Canadian Borrower (A) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable by the Canadian Borrower in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (B) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable by the Canadian Borrower in arrears upon any prepayment of such Canadian Revolving Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (C) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable by the Canadian Borrower in arrears at maturity of the Canadian Revolving Loans, including final maturity of such Canadian Revolving Loans; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Canadian Prime Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

(g) The US Borrower agrees to pay to each applicable Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit issued for its account, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the US Borrower, including by way of a deemed US Revolving Loan, at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the Applicable Margin payable hereunder with respect to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin payable hereunder with respect to Base Rate Loans. The Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to each applicable Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit issued for its account, interest on the

-72-

amount paid by Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Canadian Borrower, including by way of a deemed Canadian Revolving Loan, at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the Applicable Margin payable hereunder with respect to Canadian Prime Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin payable hereunder with respect to Canadian Prime Loans.

(h) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.7(g) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by any Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.7(g), such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by such Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which such Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event any Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.3(h) or Section 2.3(i), as applicable, with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by the applicable Borrower.

(i) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. Each Canadian Credit Party confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to loans, advances, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement. Each Canadian Credit Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Credit Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to such Canadian Credit Party as required pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada).

(j) If any provision of any of the Credit Documents would obligate any Canadian Credit Party to make any payment of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations or in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable Law or would result in the receipt of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the applicable recipient of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid to the applicable recipient under the Credit Documents; and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the applicable recipient which would constitute interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the applicable recipient shall

-73-

have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that Section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Credit Party shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the applicable recipient in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the applicable recipient to the Canadian Credit Party. Any amount or rate of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations referred to in this Section 2.7(j) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Canadian Revolver Loans to the Canadian Borrower remain outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be prorated over that period of time and otherwise be prorated over the period from the Closing Date to the date of payment in full of the Canadian Obligations, and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

2.8 Conversion/Continuation.

(a) Subject to Section 2.17(d), the US Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Revolving Loan to the US Borrower equal to (A) in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan, $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount and (B) in the case of a conversion to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; provided, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless the US Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.17 in connection with any such conversion; and provided, further, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of at least $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan in a minimum amount equal to $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(b) Subject to Section 2.17(d), the Canadian Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Revolving Loan to the Canadian Borrower equal to (A) in the case of a conversion to a Canadian Base Rate Loan from a Eurodollar Loan or to a Canadian Prime Loan from a B/A Equivalent Loan, $1,000,000 or Cdn$1,000,000, respectively, and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or Cdn$1,000,000, respectively in excess of that amount and (B) in the case of a conversion to a Eurodollar Rate Loan from a Canadian Base Rate Loan or to a B/A Equivalent Loan from a Canadian Prime Loan, $2,000,000 or Cdn$2,000,000, respectively, and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or Cdn$1,000,000, respectively, in excess of that amount; provided, that a Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period or Contract Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan, respectively, unless the Canadian Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.17 in connection with any such conversion; and provided, further, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans for each Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable, must be in the amount of at least $2,000,000 or Cdn$2,000,000, respectively, and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or Cdn$1,000,000, respectively, in excess of that amount; or

-74-

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period or Contract Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan, as applicable, to continue all or any portion of such Loan in a minimum amount equal to $2,000,000 or Cdn$2,000,000, respectively, and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or Cdn$1,000,000, respectively in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan, as applicable.

(c) The US Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan with respect to the US Borrower or conversion to a Canadian Prime Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan with respect to the Canadian Borrower) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans having an Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable, other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period” or “Contract Period”, as applicable the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four (4) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) before the date of the proposed conversion/continuation date having an Interest Period or Contract Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each applicable Lender whose consent is required with a relevant Revolving Commitment of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period or Contract Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the proposed conversion/continuation date having an Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable, other than one, two, three or six months in duration, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period or Contract Period has been consented to by such Lenders. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable and the US Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no conversion to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan in whole or in part shall be permitted at any time at which (i) a Default under Section 8.1(a), 8.1(f) or 8.1(g) or an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan would violate any provision of Sections 2.17 or 2.18.

(e) This section shall not apply to Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

2.9 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (f) or (g), the principal amount of all overdue amounts then outstanding hereunder shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Law) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, plus the relevant Applicable Margin applicable to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.9 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Agent or any Lender.

2.10 Fees.

(i) Section 2.10(a)(i) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 of each year during the Revolving Commitment Period, commencing on July 1, 2018 and on the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date; and

(ii) Section 2.10(a)(ii) and Section 2.10(b) and Section 2.10(c)(i) and (ii) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 of each year during the Revolving Commitment Period, commencing on July 1, 2018 and on the applicable Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(e) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, the US Borrower agrees to pay to the Lead Arrangers and the Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

2.11 Voluntary Prepayments. Each Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans in whole or in part at any time; provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan is made by a Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period or Contract Period for such Loan, such Borrower shall also pay any amount owing pursuant to Section 2.17(d). Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.14(a).

2.12 Voluntary Revolving Commitment Reductions.

(a) Each Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice (or such shorter notice period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably approve) confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the applicable Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the applicable Revolving Commitments will exceed the applicable Revolving Credit Outstandings at the time of such proposed termination or reduction after giving effect to any concurrent repayment (or, with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations, the provision of cash collateral or backstop letters of credit acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 103% of the applicable Letter of Credit Obligations of applicable Revolving Credit Outstandings); provided any such partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

(b) Each Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the applicable Revolving Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in such Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the applicable Revolving Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof.

2.13 Mandatory Prepayments.

-77-

(a) Maximum Credit. Subject to the Administrative Agent’s authority, in its sole discretion, to make Protective Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 2.25, promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days) upon the earlier of (a) the knowledge of any Authorized Officer of the US Borrower, or (b) notice to any Borrower from the Administrative Agent that the aggregate principal amount of applicable Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the US Maximum Credit or the Canadian Maximum Credit, as applicable, at such time, the applicable Borrower shall forthwith prepay the applicable Swing Line Loans first and then the applicable Revolving Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the applicable aggregate outstanding Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans, the applicable Borrower shall cash collateralize applicable Letters of Credit in the manner set forth in Section 8.2 in an amount equal to 103% of such excess.

(b) Cash Dominion During a Liquidity Event Period. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct, during a Liquidity Event Period, the application of all funds in each Cash Collateral Account and agrees that, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent (i) may or, upon the written direction of the Requisite Lenders at any time during such Liquidity Event Period, shall deliver a Blockage Notice to each Deposit Account Bank for each Approved Deposit Account and (ii) shall, during a Liquidity Event Period, except, as provided in Sections 2.15(g) and (h), apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all available funds in each Cash Collateral Account on a daily basis as follows: first, to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata; second, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Swing Line Loans until such Swing Line Loans have been repaid in full; third, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Revolving Loans until such Revolving Loans shall have been repaid in full (other than Contingent Obligations); and then to any other Obligation owing by such Borrower then due and payable. Each Borrower consents to such application made pursuant to the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent agrees so to apply such funds and each Borrower consents to such application. Any such application of funds shall be made (i) from the Cash Collateral Accounts of the US Credit Parties first in respect of Obligations of the US Credit Parties, with the outstanding amounts thereof and second in respect of Obligations of the Canadian Borrower and (ii) from Cash Collateral Accounts of the Canadian Credit Parties solely in respect of Obligations of the Canadian Borrower. If (i) following such application, (ii) outside of a Liquidity Event Period or (iii) after all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn and all Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated, there are no Loans outstanding and no other Obligations that are then due and payable (and, during a Liquidity Event Period, cash collateral has been provided in an amount equal to 103% of the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner required in Section 8.2), then the Administrative Agent shall cause any remaining funds in the Cash Collateral Accounts to be paid at the written direction of the applicable Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, to the applicable Borrower or another Person lawfully entitled thereto).

(c) Prepayment of Canadian Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.13 to the contrary, funds received from or held by any Canadian Credit Party shall be applied only to the payment of the Canadian Obligations and shall not be applied to the payment of the US Obligations.

2.14 Application of Prepayments.

(a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be applied as specified by the applicable Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided, in the event such Borrower fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first, to repay the applicable outstanding Swing Line Loans of such Borrower to the full extent thereof; and second, to repay the applicable outstanding Revolving Loans of such Borrower to the full extent thereof and any prepayments by a Canadian Credit Party shall be applied only to the payment of the Canadian Obligations and shall not be applied to the payment of the US Obligations.

-78-

(b) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Loans, Eurodollar Rate Loans and B/A Equivalent Loans. Any prepayment by a Borrower of (i) Loans denominated in Dollars shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and Canadian Base Rate Loans of such Borrower to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Borrower, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(d) and (ii) Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be applied first to Canadian Prime Loans of the Canadian Borrower to the full extent thereof before application to B/A Equivalent Loans of the Canadian Borrower, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Canadian Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(d).

2.15 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by a Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in the currency in which the obligation being paid is denominated in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by such Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(c) The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definitions of “Interest Period” and “Contract Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to such Borrower and each Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a), subject to any applicable grace or cure periods therein. Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a

-79-

non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.9 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full (other than Contingent Obligations).

(g) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (h) below (or required to be applied in accordance with Section 2.14(a)), (i) all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the US Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the US Revolving Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or such Borrower, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and third, as such Borrower so designates and (ii) all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Canadian Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Canadian Revolving Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or such Borrower, second, to pay all other Canadian Obligations then due and payable and third, as such Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of Swing Line Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the applicable Swing Line Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuing Banks as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(h) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.14(a) and clause (g) above, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the applicable Obligations pursuant to Section 8.1, shall, deliver a Blockage Notice to each Deposit Account Bank for each Approved Deposit Account and apply all payments in respect of any applicable Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:

(i) first, to pay ratably interest on and then principal of any portion of the applicable Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the applicable Borrower;

(ii) second, to pay ratably applicable Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to any Agent;

(iii) third, to pay ratably applicable Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks;

(iv) fourth, to pay ratably applicable Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks;

(v) fifth, to pay ratably interest then due and payable in respect of the applicable Protective Advances;

-80-

(vi) sixth, to pay ratably the principal of the Protective Advances;

(vii) seventh, to pay ratably interest then due and payable in respect of the applicable Loans (other than the Protective Advances) and Reimbursement Obligations;

(viii) eighth, to pay or prepay ratably principal amounts on the applicable Loans (other than the Protective Advances), amounts owing in respect of Designated Cash Management Obligations in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000, only to the extent that the amount of such Designated Cash Management Obligations has been deducted or otherwise reserved by the Administrative Agent in calculating the applicable Borrowing Base in effect and Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash collateral for applicable outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 8.2, ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, amounts owing in respect of Noticed Xxxxxx, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts;

(ix) ninth, to pay ratably amounts due and owing in respect of applicable Cash Management Obligations and Hedge Agreements with respect to which proceeds of Collateral have not been applied in accordance with clause (viii) above;

(x) tenth, pay ratably all other applicable Obligations;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Obligation described in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x) above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation in such clause (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligation within such clause ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses; provided, however, that payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Lenders shall be allocated first to repay Swing Line Loans until such Swing Line Loans are paid in full and then to repay the Revolving Loans; provided, further, that amounts received from any Credit Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Credit Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, proceeds of Collateral consisting of assets of or payments by a Canadian Credit Party shall only be applied to the repayment of Canadian Obligations.

2.16 Ratable Sharing. Other than as set forth in Section 2.21 hereof, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Law, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of: Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (other than payments or reductions received by way of an assignment or participation effected pursuant to Section 10.6) (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in propor-

-81-

tion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the applicable Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by such Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.17 Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans and B/A Equivalent Loans.

(a) Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” The CDOR Rate for each Contract Period for B/A Equivalent Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “CDOR Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error.

(b) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be presumptively correct), on any Interest Payment Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market or Canadian interbank market, as applicable, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate or CDOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, as applicable, until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, which it shall do promptly, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by a Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by such Borrower.

(c) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error but shall be made only after consultation with the US Borrower and/or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or Governmental Authorization (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or Governmental Authorization not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), in each case, first made after the Closing Date or otherwise when compliance becomes required after the Closing Date, or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affect the London inter-bank market (or, as regards B/A Equivalent Loans, the Canadian interbank market) or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, to convert Loans to, or continue Loans as Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, as applicable,

-82-

shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, provided, that such Affected Lender shall promptly withdraw such notice when such circumstances cease to exist, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan then being requested by such Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Loan, as applicable, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period (or Contract Period, as applicable) then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable, on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan then being requested by a Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(d), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.17(c) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make, maintain or continue Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The US Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall compensate each applicable Lender, within 30 days of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts, and which shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender actually sustains: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or such Lender becoming an Affected Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by such Borrower.

(e) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans and B/A Equivalent Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

2.18 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. In the event that any Lender (which term, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include each Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.18(a)) shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error) that any Change in Law: (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to

-83-

any Tax or changes the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (in each case, other than any Excluded Tax or any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 2.19) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market or Canadian interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the applicable Borrower shall within 30 days after receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.18(a), which statement shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Canadian Borrower shall only be liable for such increased cost or reduction in amount to the extent that it relates to the Canadian Obligations.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include any Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.18(b)) shall have reasonably determined that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 30 days after receipt by the applicable Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.18(b), which statement shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Canadian Borrower shall only be liable for such additional amounts to the extent that they relate to the Canadian Obligations.

2.19 Taxes; Withholding, Etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document to any Lender or Agent shall (except to the extent required by Law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Taxes.

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other applicable withholding agent is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Non-Excluded Tax or Other Taxes from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to any Lender or Agent under any of the Credit

-84-

Documents: (i) the applicable Credit Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Credit Party becomes aware of it; (ii) the applicable Credit Party or withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding and pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any such Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Lender or Agent) on behalf of and in the name of the Lender or Agent (as applicable); (iii) the sum payable to such Lender or Agent (as applicable) shall be increased by such Credit Party to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of any required deduction or withholding of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings attributable to any payments required to be made under this Section 2.19), the Lender (or, where the Agent receives a payment for its own account, the Agent) receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, the Credit Party making such payments shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction or withholding and of the remittance thereof to the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Canadian Borrower shall only be liable for any such additional amounts to the extent they relate to the Canadian Obligations.

(c) Status of Lender. Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide such Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Laws or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Credit Document. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 2.19(c)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify such Borrower and Administrative Agent of its inability to do so.

Without limiting the foregoing:

(1) Each US Lender shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(2) Each Non-US Lender shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Internal Revenue Code,

(D) to the extent a Non-US Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-US Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Non-US Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, X-0XXX xx X-0XXX-X, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1B or Exhibit D-1D, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.19(c) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more of its direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Non-US Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner in the form of Exhibit D-1B), or

(E) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents.

(3) If a payment made to a Lender or an Agent under any Credit Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent, as applicable, were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender or Agent, as applicable, shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA to determine whether such Lender or Agent, as applicable, has or has not complied with such Lender’s or Agent’s, as applicable, obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(4) On or before the date hereof, Bank of America as Administrative Agent shall, and on or before the date any successor or replacement Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder it shall, deliver to the US Borrower two duly executed originals of either (i) IRS Form W-9 or (ii) a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY evidencing its agreement with the US Borrower to be treated as a U.S. person under Treasury Regulations section 1.1441-1T(b)(2)(iv)(A) (with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender) and IRS Form W-8ECI (with respect to amounts received on its own account).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (c), a Lender or Agent shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender or Agent is not legally eligible to deliver.

-86-

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Credit Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.19(c).

(d) In addition to the payments by a Credit Party required by Section 2.19(b) but without duplication, the applicable Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(e) The Credit Parties shall, jointly and severally (except as provided in Section 2.19(i) below), indemnify a Lender or Agent (each a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid or payable by such Tax Indemnitee on or attributable to any payment made by a Credit Party under or with respect to any Credit Document, and any Other Taxes payable by such Tax Indemnitee (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19) and, in each case, any reasonable expense attributable thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by the Tax Indemnitee or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Tax Indemnitee, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) If and to the extent that a Tax Indemnitee, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), determines that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of which it has received additional payments under this Section 2.19, then such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to the relevant Credit Party the amount of such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Tax Indemnitee (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Credit Party, upon the request of the Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Tax Indemnitee (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Tax Indemnitee if the Tax Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require a Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

(g) In the event that a Credit Party makes an indemnification payment to a Tax Indemnitee with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 2.19 or a Credit Party is required to repay to a Tax Indemnitee an amount in respect of a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes previously paid over to such Credit Party pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section 2.19, such Tax Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of such Credit Party, at the sole expense of such Credit Party, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Tax Indemnitee such cooperation shall not subject such Tax Indemnitee, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Tax Indemnitee and (ii) based on advice of such Credit Party’s independent accountants or external legal counsel, there is a reasonable basis for such Credit Party to contest with the applicable Governmental Authority the imposition of such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes or the repayment of such refund. Any resulting refund shall be governed by Section 2.19(f). This subsection shall not be construed to require a Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19, a Canadian Credit Party shall only be liable for such amounts to the extent that they relate to the Canadian Obligations.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 2.19, include each Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank.

-87-

2.20 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender (which term, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include each Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive additional amounts under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (x) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (y) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.20 or take such other measures unless the applicable Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of taking such measures as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error.

2.21 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i);

(b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.5); provided that (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment may not be increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans or disbursements under Letters of Credit may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled date of payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent;

(c) if any Swing Line Loan is outstanding or Letter of Credit Usage exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any participations in any Letter of Credit Obligations and in any outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any participations in any Letter of Credit Obligations and in any outstanding Swing Line Loans does

-88-

not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and to the extent that any non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure plus its allocated Pro Rata Share of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit Obligations and outstanding Swing Line Loans does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such unreallocated portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13(a) for so long as such Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding or (z) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lenders, as the case may be, in their sole discretion, to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; provided that (A) to the extent that cash collateral has previously been provided pursuant to this clause (ii) and, a result of a repayment of Revolving Loans or otherwise, further reallocation of amounts among the Lenders in accordance with clause (i) above may be made, then, solely to the extent of the amounts so reallocated, the cash collateral requirement pursuant to this clause (ii) will terminate and each applicable Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender will cause any cash collateral posted with respect to their respective Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, to be returned to the applicable Borrower subject to any terms relating to such cash collateral and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment pursuant hereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swing Line Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;

(iii) if a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to clause (ii) above, Holdings shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations is cash collateralized;

(iv) if a reallocation of the Letter of Credit Obligations among the non-Defaulting Lenders is effected pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) and Section 2.10(a)(ii) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares after giving effect to such reallocation; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Borrower, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.10(a)(ii) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

-89-

(d) notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swing Line Lender shall be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Line Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent, each Borrower, each applicable Issuing Bank and each applicable Swing Line Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.22 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the applicable Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.17 (other than clause (d) thereof), 2.18 or 2.19, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect or such Lender shall not have withdrawn such notice, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the applicable Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become and remain a Defaulting Lender and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after the applicable Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender, Non-Consenting Lender (each, a “Terminated Lender”), the applicable Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and each Replacement Lender (or failing which, the Borrowers) shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to such Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed

-90-

drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.10; (2) on the date of such assignment, the applicable Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(d), 2.18 or 2.19; (3) to the extent an assignment to such Replacement Lender would require the consent of the Administrative Agent under Section 10.6, such Replacement Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and (4) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided, the applicable Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, such Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled or shall provide cash collateral or backstop letters of credit acceptable to such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 103% of the applicable Letter of Credit Obligations. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification and to expense reimbursement hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Terminated Lender and its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Replacement Lender pursuant to this Section 2.22, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence such assignment, together with any Revolving Loan Note (if such Loans are evidenced by a Revolving Loan Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that the failure of any Terminated Lender to execute an Assignment Agreement shall not render such assignment invalid.

2.23 Incremental Facilities.

(a) Either Borrower may by written notice to the Agents elect to request, prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, an increase to the applicable existing Revolving Commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Commitments” and the loans made pursuant thereto, the “New Revolving Loans”), by an amount (such amount not to be less than $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount) not in excess of the remainder of $250.0 million. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the applicable Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter time as may be approved by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Agents; and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Lender”) to whom the applicable Borrower proposes any portion of such New Revolving Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Revolving Commitment. Such New Revolving Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) subject to Section 1.6, no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Revolving Commitments; (2) the other terms of the New Revolving Commitments (including the Applicable Margin) shall be documented solely as an increase to the Revolving Commitments, with identical terms; (3) the New Revolving Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in

-91-

the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.19(c); (4) the applicable Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.17(d) in connection with the New Revolving Commitments; and (5) the applicable Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Lenders shall assign to each of the New Lenders, and each of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitment, (ii) each New Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each New Revolving Loan shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (iii) each New Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of the applicable Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof the New Revolving Commitments and the New Lenders and the respective interests in such Lender’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section.

(d) At any time on or prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, either Borrower may request an extension of the Revolving Commitments (a “Proposed Extension”) by notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lenders. Each such notice shall specify the proposed extended revolving commitment termination date and any other terms or conditions with respect to the Proposed Extension. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender shall be obligated in any capacity to provide any such extension of its Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Proposed Extension or enter into any negotiations with respect to any Proposed Extension. Each Lender, Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, choosing to extend its Revolving Commitment pursuant to a Proposed Extension (each, an “Extending Lender”) and the applicable Borrowers may prepare appropriate documentation necessary to reflect the terms and conditions of the Proposed Extension; provided that (i) no amendments or modifications to any Credit Documents will be permitted prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date unless the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, consents to any such amendments or modifications (subject in each case to the requirements of Section 10.5); (ii) amendments or modifications to any Credit Document shall be permitted with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders (but solely to the extent such amendments and modifications apply only following the Revolving Commitment Termination Date); and (iii) unless the Administrative Agent has agreed in its sole discretion to act as the Administrative Agent for the Extending Lenders following the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, a successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed by the Extending Lenders to act as administrative agent commencing on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

2.24 Overadvances. If (i) the aggregate US Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the US Maximum Credit, (ii) the aggregate Canadian Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Canadian Maximum Credit or (iii) the Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Line Cap (each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), an “Overadvance”), in each case, at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by the applicable Borrower on demand by the Administrative Agent, but all such Revolving Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the applicable

-92-

Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent may require Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to the Administrative Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Over-advance Loans are required) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Overadvances is not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $20,000,000, and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (i) is not increased by more than $500,000, and (ii) does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause (i) the Canadian Revolving Credit Outstandings to exceed the Canadian Revolving Sublimit or (ii) the Revolving Credit Outstandings to exceed the Revolving Commitments. The making of any Overadvance shall not create nor constitute a Default or Event of Default; it being understood that the making or continuance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of the then existing Event of Default. In no event shall any Borrower or other Credit Party be permitted to require any Overadvance Loan to be made. Requisite Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Overadvance Loans by written notice to the Administrative Agent. Absent such revocation, the Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of an Overadvance Loan is appropriate shall be conclusive.

2.25 Protective Advances.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent (including its Canada branch as regards Protective Advances to the Canadian Borrower) is authorized (but shall have no obligation to) by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion, to make (or authorize the Administrative Agent to make) Loans to the US Borrower in Dollars or to the Canadian Borrower in Dollars or Canadian Dollars on behalf of the applicable Lenders (each such Loan, a “Protective Advance”), which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by any of the Borrowers to the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 10.2) and other sums payable under the Credit Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that (x) no Protective Advance may remain outstanding for more than 30 days; (y) the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $20,000,000; and (z) no Protective Advance shall be made that would result in the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided further that no Protective Advance shall result in a Default due to the Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.1 for so long as such Protective Advance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such Protective Advance. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks) in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances denominated in Dollars shall be Base Rate Borrowings or, as regards the Canadian Credit Parties, Canadian Base Rate Borrowings, and all Protective Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Requisite Lenders. Any

-93-

such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient US Available Credit or Canadian Available Credit, as the case may be, and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Lenders to make a Revolving Loan, in the currency in which the applicable Protective Advance was denominated and to the Borrowers to which the Protective Advance was made, to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund, in the currency in which the applicable Protective Advance was denominated, their risk participations described in Section 2.25(b). It is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall endeavor, but without any obligation, to notify the applicable Borrower promptly after the making of any Protective Advance.

(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, each applicable Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata Share. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

(c) The Canadian Borrower shall be liable only for any Protective Advances made to it.

2.26 LIBOR Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Requisite Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that the Borrowers or Requisite Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time,

-94-

Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Requisite Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender.

-109-

relevant Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided, that: (i) upon written request by the Administrative Agent, Holdings shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each Lender until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and (ii) Holdings shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents.

(d) within thirty (30) days after such formation or acquisition, or such longer period, as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion, take, and cause such Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary to take, whatever action (including, without limitation, the filing of Uniform Commercial Code or PPSA financing statements, the giving of notices and delivery of stock and membership interest certificates) may be necessary or advisable in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to vest in the Collateral Agent (or in any representative of the Collateral Agent designated by it) valid and subsisting Liens on the properties purported to be subject to the Collateral Documents delivered pursuant to this Section 5.10, in each case, to the extent required under the Credit Documents and Collateral Documents, enforceable against all third parties in accordance with their terms;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall not take a security interest in those assets as to which the Administrative Agent shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, that the cost of obtaining such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or other tax) are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby, (ii) neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any actions in order to perfect the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Law of any jurisdiction outside the United States or Canada except as expressly contemplated hereby or the Collateral Documents with respect to the Credit Parties, (iii) any security interest or Lien, and any obligation of any Credit Party, shall be subject to the relevant requirements of the Intercreditor Agreement and (iv) any security interest granted pursuant to any Canadian Collateral Document shall be for the benefit of the holders of Canadian Obligations.

SECTION 7. GUARANTY

7.1 Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, to induce the Lenders to make the Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit,

(a) each US Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, jointly with the other US Guarantors and severally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment in full when due of the Obligations; and

(b) each Foreign Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, jointly with the other Foreign Guarantors and severally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment in full when due of the Canadian Obligations,

in each case, whether at Stated Maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic or any other stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Debtor Relief Law), whether or not from time to time reduced or extinguished or hereafter increased or incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, whether or not enforceable as against the applicable Borrower, whether now or hereafter existing, and whether due or to become due, including principal, interest (including interest at the contract rate applicable upon default accrued or accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any Debtor Relief Law, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding), fees and costs of collection. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, the Foreign Guarantors shall in no way guarantee or otherwise be liable for the Obligations (including by way of indemnity or otherwise) except to the extent that they constitute Canadian Obligations.

7.2 Limitation of Guaranty. Any term or provision of this Section 7 or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations for which any Guarantor Subsidiary shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor Subsidiary can be liable without rendering this Section 7 or any other Credit Document, as it relates to such Guarantor Subsidiary, subject to avoidance under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or transfer at undervalue (including Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of other Debtor Relief Laws or comparable federal, state, provincial, foreign or other applicable Law) (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect (a) to all other liabilities of such Guarantor Subsidiary, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor Subsidiary in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to the Borrowers to the extent that such Indebtedness

-132-

would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor Subsidiary hereunder) and (b) to the value as assets of such Guarantor Subsidiary (as determined under the applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights held by such Guarantor Subsidiary pursuant to (i) applicable Law, (ii) this Section 7.2(b) or (iii) any other Contractual Obligations providing for an equitable allocation among such Guarantor Subsidiary and other Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Borrowers of Obligations arising under this Section 7.2 or other guaranties of the Obligations of the Borrowers by the parties.

7.3 Contribution. To the extent that any Guarantor Subsidiary shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Guarantor Subsidiary from the Loans and the other financial accommodations provided to the Borrowers under the Credit Documents and (b) the amount such Guarantor Subsidiary would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor Subsidiary had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the applicable Borrowers and Holdings) in the same proportion as such Guarantor Subsidiary’s net worth at the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantor Subsidiaries at the date enforcement is sought hereunder, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantor Subsidiaries that are Guarantors of such Guaranteed Obligations for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantor Subsidiaries at the date enforcement hereunder is sought.

7.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of its Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any applicable Borrower and any Secured Party with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of each applicable Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of any applicable Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against any applicable Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not any applicable Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of its Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of its Guaranteed Obligations which have not been paid and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Secured Party is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of its Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of its Guaranteed Obligations that is not

-133-

the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of its Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Secured Party, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand to or on any Person and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of any Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, any Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of any Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or any Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of any Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of any Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Secured Party in respect hereof or any Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Secured Party may have against any such security, in each case as such Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent with the applicable Credit Document, the applicable Cash Management Document or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any applicable Borrower or any security for its Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents, any Cash Management Documents or any Hedge Agreements; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of its Guaranteed Obligations (other than any Contingent Obligations)), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, any Cash Management Documents or any Hedge Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to its Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of its Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment, extension or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Events of Default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Cash Management Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for its Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Cash Management Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) its Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other

-134-

Credit Documents, any of the Cash Management Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for its Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for Indebtedness other than its Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of Indebtedness other than its Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Secured Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Secured Party’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of its Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of, or any failure of priority of, a security interest in any collateral which secures any of its Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any applicable Borrower may allege or assert against any Secured Party in respect of its Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of its Guaranteed Obligations.

7.5 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Secured Parties: (a) any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any applicable Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any applicable Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of any applicable Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any applicable Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than any Contingent Obligations); (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior by such Secured Party which amounts to gross negligence or willful misconduct; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the other Credit Documents, the Cash Management Documents, the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any applicable Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

-135-

7.6 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until its Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) shall have been irrevocably paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cash collateralized, backstopped or cancelled (on terms and conditions acceptable to the Administrative Agent), each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any applicable Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any applicable Borrower with respect to its Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any applicable Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party. In addition, until its Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) shall have been irrevocably paid in full and the applicable Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all applicable Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cash collateralized, backstopped or cancelled (on terms and conditions acceptable to the Administrative Agent), each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of its Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.3. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against any applicable Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Secured Party may have against any applicable Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Secured Party may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Secured Party may have against such other guarantor (including any Guarantor). If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when its Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full (other than Contingent Obligations), such amount shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties to be credited and applied against its Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.7 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to its Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor upon an acceleration or enforcement action after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties to be credited and applied against its Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

-136-

7.8 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor shall have been paid in full (other than Contingent Obligations) and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cash collateralized, backstopped or cancelled (on terms and conditions acceptable to the Administrative Agent). Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to its Guaranteed Obligations.

7.9 Authority of Guarantors. It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

7.10 Financial Condition of the Borrowers. Any Credit Extension may be made to any applicable Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Cash Management Documents and any Hedge Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of such Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Cash Management Document or such Hedge Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of any applicable Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from each applicable Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of such Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents, the Cash Management Documents and the Hedge Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of each applicable Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of its Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of any applicable Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Secured Party. In the event any Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor, such Secured Party shall be under no obligation (a) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) to disclose any information that such Secured Party, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor.

7.11 Default, Remedies. The Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Obligations of such Guarantor. If any Obligation of any applicable Borrower is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default hereunder or upon any default by any applicable Borrower as provided in any other Credit Document, Cash Management Document or Hedge Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Obligations of such Borrower then due, without first proceeding against any applicable Borrower or any other guarantor (including the Guarantors) of its Guaranteed Obligations, or against any Collateral under the Credit Documents or joining any applicable Borrower or any other guarantor (including the Guarantors) in any proceeding against any Guarantor that is a Guarantor of such Borrower’s Obligations. At any time after maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations of a Guarantor, the Administrative Agent may (unless such Guaranteed

-137-

Obligations have been paid in full (other than Contingent Obligations)), without notice to such Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any Collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such Guaranteed Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from any Secured Party to such Guarantor and (b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to such Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of any Secured Party or any of its respective Affiliates.

7.12 Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against any applicable Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation, arrangement or proposal of any applicable Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which any applicable Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or applicable body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Secured Parties that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any applicable Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, interim receiver, monitor, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of any Guaranteed Obligations are paid by any applicable Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment or payments are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

7.13 Waiver of Judicial Bond. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives the requirement to post any bond that otherwise may be required of any Secured Party in connection with any judicial proceeding to enforce such Secured Party’s rights to payment hereunder, security interest in or other rights to the Collateral or in connection with any other legal or equitable action or proceeding arising out of, in connection with, or related to this Guaranty and the Credit Documents, Cash Management Documents or Hedge Agreements to which it is a party.

7.14 Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger, amalgamation or consolidation) or if any Guarantor is designated as an

-138-

Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Secured Party or any other Person effective as of the time of such sale or other disposition.

7.15 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment, or the liability of any Borrower to make any payment, of any amount specified to be payable by any Borrower hereunder is stayed, prohibited or otherwise affected upon any bankruptcy, arrangement, insolvency, proposal, receivership, liquidation, winding-up or similar proceeding or other event affecting any Borrower or its payment of its obligations hereunder, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration or payment shall nonetheless be deemed for all purposes to be and to have become due and payable by such Borrower and shall be payable by the applicable Guarantors immediately after demand.

7.16 Assignment. Subject to Section 10.6 hereof, the Secured Parties may assign the benefit of this Guaranty to any person and each Guarantor hereby consents to such assignment.

7.17 Certain Releases. The Guaranty of any Guarantor Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor Subsidiary that is a Borrower) shall be automatically released and such Guarantor Subsidiary shall be released from its obligations hereunder if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement) or is no longer required to be a Guarantor under the terms of the Credit Documents. The Guaranty of the US Obligations of any US Guarantor Subsidiary shall be automatically released and such US Guarantor Subsidiary shall be released from its obligations in respect of such US Obligations if such Person becomes an Excluded Subsidiary described in clause (g) of the definition thereof as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement).

7.18 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of a Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.18 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.18 or otherwise under this Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 7.18 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all Swap Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.18 constitute, and this Section 7.18 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

8.2 Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit. At any time (i) upon the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or (ii) as may be required by Section 2.13, the US Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at its Principal Office, for deposit in a Cash Collateral Account, (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the amount required so that, after such payment, the aggregate funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts equals or exceeds 103% of the sum of all applicable outstanding US Letter of Credit Obligations and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the amount required by Section 2.13. At any time (i) upon the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or (ii) as may be required by Section 2.13, the Canadian Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Lenders in respect of Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations in immediately available funds at its Principal Office, for deposit in a Cash Collateral Account, (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the amount required so that, after such payment, the aggregate funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts equals or exceeds 103% of the sum of all applicable outstanding Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the amount required by Section 2.13. The Administrative Agent may, from time to time after funds are deposited in any Cash Collateral Account, apply funds then held in such Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in accordance with Section 2.13 and Section 2.15(h) as shall have become or shall become due and payable by such Borrower to the Issuing Banks or the Lenders in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations; provided, however, that funds deposited by any Canadian Credit Party shall only be applied to Canadian Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice of any such application; provided, however, that the failure to give such written notice shall not invalidate any such application.

8.3 Rescission. If at any time after termination of the Revolving Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, each Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 10.5, then, upon the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to the applicable Borrower, the termination of the Revolving Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; provided, however, that such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to a decision that may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit any Borrower and do not give any Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

8.4 Borrowers’ Right to Cure.

Each Agent hereby agrees to act in its respective capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Credit Documents, as applicable. The provisions of Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 (other than the last proviso to Section 9.3(c)), 9.4, 9.5(a) and 9.6 are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and no Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. None of the Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agents nor the Documentation Agent shall have any obligations or duties whatsoever under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity.

(b) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby acknowledges the appointment of Bank of America and such of its Affiliates as it may designate to serve in such capacity for purposes of any particular Collateral Document or Collateral as the Collateral Agent, and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Collateral Agent may have under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

-144-

9.2 Powers and Duties. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Person’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Credit Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any Issuing Bank; and nothing herein or in any of the other Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

9.3 General Immunity.

No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with this Agreement, or any other Credit Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or by or on behalf of any Credit Party, in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the financial condition of any Credit Party or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof.

(a) Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders or the Issuing Banks for any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Agents shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that (i) such Agent in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability unless such Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or applicable law. No Agent shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as

-145-

the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, including the Register, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions, judgments and advice (in good faith) of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Holdings and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; (ii) none of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5); (iii) the Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as its holder until such Note has been assigned in accordance with Section 10.6; and (iv) no Agent makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any Issuing Bank in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Documents. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(b) Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by an Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the applicable Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender, Issuing Bank, other Agent or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender, Issuing Bank, other Agent or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent; provided that such appointment shall not relieve the applicable Agent of its express obligations hereunder.

(c) Disqualified Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Lenders.

-146-

9.4 Agents Entitled to Act as Lenders. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lenders,” “Requisite Lenders” and similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with any Credit Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Holdings, any Borrower or any Subsidiary for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Agents.

9.5 Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment by Lenders and Issuing Banks.

(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own independent appraisal, without reliance upon any Agent, any other Lender or any other Issuing Bank, of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

(b) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, an Assignment Agreement or a Joinder Agreement or by the funding of any New Revolving Loans or issuing New Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, the Requisite Lenders, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as applicable on the Closing Date or as of the date of funding of such New Revolving Loans or New Revolving Commitments.

(c) As of the Closing Date, (a) the Canadian Swing Line Lender represents and warrants that it can make Canadian Revolving Loans, (b) each Canadian Issuing Bank represents and warrants that it can make Canadian Revolving Loans and (c) each Lender represents and warrants that it can make Canadian Revolving Loans.

9.6 Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party (but without limiting such Credit Party’s reimbursement obligations hereunder), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including fees and disbursements of financial and legal advisors)

-147-

or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agents promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Agents in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, to the extent that the Agents are not reimbursed for such expenses by any Borrower or another Credit Party.

If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint an applicable successor Agent selected from among the Lenders with, absent an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (f) or (g), the consent of each Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent (other than as provided in Section 9.11 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Document (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).

(iv) Any resignation by Bank of America, N.A. or its successor as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation by Bank of America, N.A. or its successor as US Swing Line Lender and Bank of America, N.A. (acting through its Canada branch) or its successor as Canadian Swing Line Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor US Swing Line Lender, and shall appoint a Canadian Swing Line Lender, for all purposes hereunder.

9.11 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.19, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the

-154-

Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.11.

9.12 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Banks to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.10, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.5.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Banks any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the Issuing Banks to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the Issuing Banks or in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of

-155-

the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Debtor Relief Laws or other Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject or (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Capital Stock or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Capital Stock thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Requisite Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Requisite Lenders contained in Section 10.5(a) of this Agreement), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.2 to the contrary, funds received from or held by any Canadian Credit Party shall be applied only to the payment of the Canadian Obligations and shall not be applied to the payment of the US Obligations.

10.3 Indemnity.

(a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.2, each Credit Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender and the officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents, sub-agents and Affiliates of each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender (any such person a “Related Party” and each Agent, Issuing Bank Lender and Related Party, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable judgment that such Indemnified Liabilities have been incurred by reason of the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee or its officers, partners, directors, trustees, agents, sub-agents or Affiliates. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable

-158-

law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.3(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, liabilities, claims and damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Agent, and each of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, advisors, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) (as opposed to direct or actual damages), whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement, arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each of Holdings, the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(c) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the Spot Rate for the purchase of the Judgment Currency with such other currency through the Administrative Agent’s principal foreign exchange trading office for the other currency during such office’s preceding Business Day. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount due, the applicable Credit Party will, on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by the Administrative Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the Spot Rate on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other Credit Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which the Administrative Agent is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, the applicable Credit Party shall indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or under any judgment or order.

(d) Each Credit Party agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 10.3) or any other Credit Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(e) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, LENDER, ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ANY AGENT PARTY’S TRANSMISSION OF

-159-

APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR ANY USE OF THE PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.3 to the contrary, funds received from or held by any Canadian Credit Party shall be applied only to the payment of the Canadian Obligations and shall not be applied to the payment of the US Obligations.

(v) except as set forth in Section 9.8(e), subordinate any Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent or Lenders or subordinate payment of any Obligations, except as may be set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender.

(f) Execution of Amendments, etc. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender other than as otherwise expressly permitted by Section 6.8(a) or pursuant to Section 10.5(b) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(c), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.6(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection ([d]) of this Section 10.6 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

-162-

(b) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice

(c) Right to Assign. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.6(c), participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided, however, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Revolving Loan and any related Revolving Commitments; provided, further, that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (c)(i)(B) of this Section 10.6 in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (c)(i)(A) of this Section 10.6, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Sections 8.1(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Revolving Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (c)(i)(B) of this Section 10.6 and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Sections 8.1(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to

-163-

a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate or branch of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C) the consent of the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to a Borrower or any of a Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person).

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(vii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this

-164-

Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender, a Borrower or any of a Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries and a Disqualified Lender to the extent that the list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) 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 applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates or amendments to the definition of Excess Availability that would impact the amount of the Applicable Margin) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Revolving Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower or any Guarantor which is a Subsidiary of Holdings of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.8(a)) or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such Participant is participating. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17(d), 2.18 and 2.19 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.19(c) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.22 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.18 or 2.19, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been enti-

-165-

tled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.22 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Other Assignments. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) Resignation as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 10.6(c), such Lender may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect such resignation. If any Lender resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans or fund risk participations pursuant to Section 2.3(h)). If a Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(f). Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Lender to effectively assume the obligations of such Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(g) Disqualified Lenders. (i) No assignment or, to the extent the DQ List has been posted on the Platform for all Lenders, participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Lender as

-166-

of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrowers have consented to such assignment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 10.6, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Lender”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrowers of an Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. Any assignment in violation of this clause (g)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (g) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment is made to any Disqualified Lender without the Borrowers’ prior consent in violation of clause (i) above, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Lender in connection with such Revolving Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.6), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and other the other Credit Documents; provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in 10.6(c) and (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization, arrangement, proposal or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

-167-

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Lenders provided by the Borrowers and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

10.7 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.8 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.17(d), 2.18, 2.19, 10.2 and 10.3 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.16, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the payment of any Reimbursement Obligations, and the termination hereof.

10.9 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender or any Issuing Bank in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Cash Management Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

10.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender nor any other Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of any such Person) pursuant to the terms of any of the Credit Documents or otherwise related to the Obligations, or any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank enforces any security interests or exercises their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

-168-

10.11 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Revolving Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.13 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

10.14 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

10.15 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS. SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN XXX XXXXX, XXXXXX XXX XXXX XX XXX XXXX. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS (OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS BY ANY AGENT IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS UNDER ANY SECURITY AGREEMENT GOVERNED BY LAWS OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY COLLATERAL SUBJECT THERETO); (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN

-169-

THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY COLLATERAL DOCUMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT.

10.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWERS RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.

THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

10.17 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding Holdings and its Subsidiaries, and their respective businesses and obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by each Credit Party that, in any event, each Agent and each Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their respective agents, trustees and advisors on a confidential basis (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant, in each case other than to a Disqualified Lender (to the extent that the list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders), in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans

-170-

or any participations therein or by any pledgee referred to in Section 10.6(e) or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations (provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, pledgees, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 10.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, (iv) disclosures to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (v) disclosures to any other party hereto, (vi) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vii) disclosures with the consent of the Borrowers, (viii) disclosures to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.17 and (ix) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or regulatory authority or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrowers of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement and management of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Revolving Commitments and the Credit Extensions.

10.18 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all of the other Credit Documents and all certificates and documents delivered hereunder or thereunder, embodies the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Credit Document (other than the Intercreditor Agreement), the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement and each other Credit Document are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement in all respects and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the terms of Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

5. Holdings and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are “solvent” or not an “insolvent person” within the meaning given to that term and similar terms under applicable Laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances and transfers at undervalue.

6. For purposes of this Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability has been computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing as of the date

7. In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, the undersigned has (i) reviewed the ABL Credit Agreement and other Credit Documents referred to therein and such other documents deemed relevant and (ii) made such other investigations and inquiries as the undersigned has deemed appropriate.

R E C I T A L S :

A. Landlord is the record title holder and owner of the real property described in Schedule A attached hereto (the “Real Property”).

B. Landlord has leased all or a portion of the Real Property (the “Leased Premises”) to [ ] (“Lessee” [or “[US][Canadian] Borrower”]) pursuant to a certain lease agreement or agreements described in Schedule B attached hereto (collectively, and as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Lease”).

C. Lessee and the Collateral Agent, among others, are, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, entering into that certain Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2018 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement), pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have agreed to make certain loans to the [US][Canadian] Borrower¹⁸ and the other borrowers party thereto (collectively, the “Loans”). As used herein, the term “Secured Parties” shall collectively refer to the Secured Parties (under and as defined in the Credit Agreement).

[D. [The Lessee is a subsidiary of [US][Canadian] Borrower.] [[US][Canadian] Borrower is a subsidiary of the Lessee.]]¹⁹

E. The Lessee has, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, guaranteed the obligations of the [US][Canadian] Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other documents evidencing and securing the Loans (collectively, the “Loan Documents”).]²⁰

¹⁸  Identify the relevant Borrower here, if a Borrower is not the Lessee.

¹⁹  Include one of these alternatives if a Borrower is not the Lessee.

I-1

F. As security for the payment and performance of Lessee’s Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Collateral Agent (for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties) has or will acquire a security interest in and lien [and hypothec] upon all of Lessee’s personal [(movable)] property, inventory, accounts, goods, machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures (together with all additions, substitutions, replacements and improvements to, and proceeds of, the foregoing, collectively, the “Personal Property”).

A G R E E M E N T :

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby represents, warrants and agrees in favor of Collateral Agent, as follows:

I. Landlord certifies that (i) Landlord is the landlord under the Lease described in Schedule B attached hereto, (ii) the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified or supplemented except as set forth in Schedule B hereto and (iii) Landlord has sent no notice of default to Lessee under the Lease respecting a default which has not been cured by Lessee.

II. Landlord agrees that the Personal Property is and will remain personal [(movable)] property and not fixtures [(or immovable property)] even though it may be affixed to or placed on the Leased Premises. Landlord further agrees that Collateral Agent has the right to remove the Personal Property from the Leased Premises at any time in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; provided that Collateral Agent shall repair any physical damage arising from such removal. Landlord further agrees that it will not hinder Collateral Agent’s actions in removing Personal Property from the Leased Premises or Collateral Agent’s actions in otherwise enforcing its security interest in [(or hypothec on)] the Personal Property. Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Leased Premises caused by the absence of Personal Property actually removed or by the need to replace the Personal Property after such removal. Landlord acknowledges that Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to remove the Personal Property from the Leased Premises.

III. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Lessee’s granting of a security interest in [(or hypothec on)] the Personal Property in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall not constitute a default under the Lease nor permit Landlord to terminate the Lease or re-enter or repossess the Leased Premises or otherwise be the basis for the exercise of any remedy by Landlord and Landlord hereby expressly consents to the granting of such security interest and agrees that such security interest shall be superior to any lien of the Landlord (statutory or otherwise) in the Personal Property [(and Landlord hereby cedes priority and preference of rank to the Collateral Agent in respect of all of Landlord’s hypothecs on the Personal Property in favor of the Collateral Agent’s hypothecs thereon)].

Footnote continued from previous page.

IV. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of Landlord (including, without limitation, any successor owner of the Real Property) and Collateral Agent. Landlord will disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any purchaser or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises.

V. All notices to any party hereto under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent to such party at its respective address set forth above (or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 5) by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or by overnight delivery service.

VI. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect until Landlord shall have received Collateral Agent’s written certification that the Loans have been paid in full and all of Borrower’s other Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been satisfied.

VII. THE INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE [STATE OF NEW YORK]²¹, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

VIII. Landlord agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments as Collateral Agent may request to allow for the proper recording of this Agreement (including, without limitation, a revised landlord’s access agreement in form and substance sufficient for recording) or to otherwise accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

²¹  With respect to Canadian locations, insert jurisdiction in which the Goods are located.
