Each Base Rate Loan that is denominated in Canadian Dollars shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin then in effect.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (and at the election of any Agent or the Required Lenders) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) shall bear interest (x) in the case of Loans, at a rate per annum that is equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.0% per annum, (y) in the case of all other amounts denominated in Dollars (other than Letter of Credit fees provided for in Section 2.10(d)), at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus 2% per annum, and (z) in the case of all other amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars (other than Letter of Credit fees provided for in Section 2.10(d)), at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars plus 2% per annum, and the Letter of Credit fees provided for in Section 2.10(d) shall be increased 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable thereunder.
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in the Applicable Currency, provided, that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable in the Applicable Currency from time to time on demand.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Section 2.16, all interest that is payable with respect to the Term Loan B that has accrued during the period from the date of such Term Loan B until such principal amount is repaid, shall be capitalized on each Interest Payment Date and added to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan B (inclusive of any Term Loan B PIK Amount theretofore so added). For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the amounts so capitalized hereunder shall bear interest in accordance with Section 2.16 as though such amounts constituted a Term Loan B made by the Term Loan B Lenders hereunder on each Interest Payment Date for all purposes of this Agreement. On each Interest Payment Date the Borrower shall elect to pay interest on the Term Loan B PIK Amount created on such date at either (i) a rate per annum equal to the US Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day, or (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the US Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. To the extent that the Term Loan B PIK Amount exceeds the undrawn Total Term Loan B Commitment such amount shall be paid in cash.
2.17 Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (the yearly rate of interest to which the
54
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 (subject to the following proviso) divided by 360); provided, that, with respect to Base Rate Loans, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as applicable) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision hereof, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) payable hereunder exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) hereunder lawfully permitted by that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of that “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, the amount of such payment, collection or demand in excess of that permitted under applicable law shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the Borrower and the applicable Lenders and the amount of such excess payment or collection shall be refunded to the Borrower. For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent will, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of such rate.
(d) For the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada) and any other purpose, (i) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any calculation under this Agreement, and (ii) the rates of interest and fees stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
2.18 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
55
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (w) any Borrowing Notice or Eurodollar Notice given by the Borrower may be rescinded by the Borrower and, if not so rescinded, any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (x) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (y) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.
2.19 Application and Allocation of Payments. (a) The Administrative Agent shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral as follows:

(c) The Lenders and the Borrower hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account of the Borrower with any amount due and payable by the Loan Parties under any Loan Document. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 have been satisfied. Any amount charged to the Loan Account of the Borrower shall be deemed a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder made by the Revolving Credit Lenders to the Borrower, funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders and subject to Section 2.5 of this Agreement. The Lenders and the Borrower confirm that any charges which the Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of the Borrower as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to the Borrower and at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, provided, that, (i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and (ii) to the extent that such charge does not exceed the then current Availability, the Administrative Agent shall from time to time upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, charge the Loan Account of the Borrower with any amount due and payable under any Loan Document.
(d) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10), and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Pro Rata Shares of the relevant Lenders. Each payment in respect of fees or expenses payable to the Lenders hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the applicable Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the applicable Lenders.
59
(e) Each payment (including each prepayment) of the Term Loans B outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility and interest thereon shall be allocated among the Term Loan B Lenders holding such Term Loans B pro rata based on the principal amount of such Term Loans B held by such Term Loan B Lenders. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans B may not be reborrowed.
(f) Reserved.
(g) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders.
(h) Reserved.
(i) The application of any payment of Loans under any Facility (including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans under such Facility and, second, to Eurodollar Loans under such Facility. Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.
(j) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be made without setoff or counterclaim (irrespective of whether any such amounts are included in or excluded from the Initial Budget) and shall be made prior to 11:00 A.M, California time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders, to the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account, in the Applicable Currency and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrower after 11:00 A.M., California time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(k) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal
60
Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the applicable Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.
(l) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective Pro Rata Shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
2.20 Loan Account and Accounting. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record: all Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans (including the outstanding Term Loan B PIK Amount), all payments made by the Borrower, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Loans or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary loan agency administration practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on the Administrative Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the amounts due and owing to the Agents and Lenders by the Borrower; provided, that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall render to the Borrower a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Loans setting forth the balance of the Loan Account. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing of any objection to any such accounting (specifically describing the basis for such objection), within thirty (30) days after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall (absent manifest error) be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon the Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein. Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by the Borrower.
2.21 Requirements of Law. (a) If any Lender or any Agent shall have determined that the adoption or implementation of, or any change in, any law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any policy, guideline or directive of, or any change in, the interpretation or administration thereof by, any court, central bank or other administrative or Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender or any Agent or any Person controlling any such Agent or Lender with any directive of, or guideline from, any central bank or other Governmental
61
Authority or the introduction of, or change in, any accounting principles applicable to any Agent or any Lender or any Person controlling any such Agent or any such Lender (in each case, whether or not having the force of law) made subsequent to the date hereof (each a “Change in Law”), shall (i) subject such Agent or such Lender, or any Person controlling such Agent or such Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by such Agent or such Lender or any Letter of Credit issued by a Lender, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Agent or such Lender or any Person controlling such Agent or such Lender of any amounts payable hereunder (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.22 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Agent or such Lender or any Person controlling such Agent or such Lender), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against any Loan, any Letter of Credit or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, such Agent or such Lender or any Person controlling such Agent or such Lender or (iii) impose on such Agent or such Lender or any Person controlling such Agent or such Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Loan or Letter of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to such Agent or such Lender of making any Loan, issuing, guaranteeing or participating in any Letter of Credit, or agreeing to make any Loan or issue, guaranty or participate in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Agent or such Lender hereunder, then, upon demand by such Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Agent or such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Agent or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.
(b) If any Agent or any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law either (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Agent or such Lender or any Person controlling such Agent or such Lender, and such Agent or such Lender determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of any Loans made or maintained, Letters of Credit issued or any guaranty or participation with respect thereto, such Agent’s or such Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Agent’s or such Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that which such Agent or such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances as a consequence of any Loans made or maintained, Letters of Credit issued, or any guaranty or participation with respect thereto or any agreement to make Loans, to issue Letters of Credit or such Agent’s or such Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration, such Agent’s or such Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by such Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Agent or such Lender from time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Agent or such Lender for such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in the rate of return on such Agent’s or such Lender’s or such other controlling Person’s capital.
(c) All amounts payable under this Section 2.21 (except interest payable under this clause (c)) shall bear interest from the date that is ten (10) days after the date of demand by any Agent or any Lender until payment in full to such Agent or such Lender at the Base Rate. A certificate of such Agent or such Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.21, specifying the event hereinabove described and the nature of such event shall be submitted by such Agent or such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, setting
62
forth the additional amount due and an explanation of the calculation thereof, and such Agent’s or such Lender’s reasons for invoking the provisions of this Section 2.21, and shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.21, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.21 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
2.22 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments made by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, and all interest, penalties, additions to tax or other liabilities with respect thereto, excluding net income taxes imposed on the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee thereof (any such entity, “Transferee”)) by the jurisdiction in which such Lender or Transferee is organized or has its principal lending office. If any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or liabilities (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Agent, any Lender or any Transferee, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.22(a)) the Agent, such Lender or such Transferee shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by any Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter the Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Arranger, Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Loan Party showing payment thereof. If the Loan Party fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Loan Party shall indemnify the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
63
(d) Each Loan Party hereby agrees to hold each Agent and each Lender harmless from and against Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.22) paid by such Person, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid by a Loan Party within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand therefor, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(e) Each Lender and Transferee agrees to file any certificate or document or to furnish to a Loan Party any information as reasonably requested by a Loan Party that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.22(e) shall require a Lender or Transferee to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns or other reports, disclosures or calculations) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender or Transferee, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender or Transferee shall not be required to deliver any certificate or document pursuant to this Section 2.22(e) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender becomes aware that it has received a refund of, or credit with respect to, any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.22 and the Administrative Agent or such Lender realizes such refund or credit with respect to the taxable year that the additional amount is paid by the Borrower, it shall pay over such net benefit, after tax, of such refund or credit to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.22 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit) as determined in the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s sole discretion; provided, that the Borrower, within 10 days after receipt of the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other report, disclosure, calculation or information which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(g) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
64
2.23 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each of them harmless from, any loss or reasonable out of pocket expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (other than, in the case of a delivery of a Borrowing Notice or Eurodollar Notice by the Borrower, as a result of (i) a default by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, (ii) the unavailability of Eurodollar Loans as a result of the application of Section 2.18 or Section 2.24 or (iii) the unavailability of Eurodollar Loans because the Administrative Agent or Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the applicable Facility have determined not to permit additional Eurodollar Loans because an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto including as a result of an Event of Default. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.24 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.23.
2.25 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.21, 2.22 or 2.24 (except with respect to Canadian withholding taxes applicable to such Lender (or any of its Transferees) as of the date of this Agreement) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such
65
Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21, 2.22 or 2.24.
SECTION 3 LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1 L/C Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of the Borrower (each, an “L/C”) or to purchase participations or execute indemnities or reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an “L/C Undertaking”) with respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Interim Facility Effective Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer is to be The Toronto-Dominion Bank) for the account of the Borrower. Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be made in writing by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and delivered to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent via hand delivery, telefacsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its Permitted Discretion and shall specify (i) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the currency in which amounts under such Letter of Credit shall be payable, (iii) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (v) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof (or the beneficiary of the Underlying Letter of Credit, as applicable), and (vi) such other information (including, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the outstanding Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower also shall be an applicant under the application with respect to any Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that each Pre-Petition Letter of Credit (including any extension thereof) which is to remain outstanding on the Interim Facility Effective Date shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the issuance of such requested Letter of Credit:
(i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the lesser of (x) the then current Borrowing Base less the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans (including any Reinstated Pre-Petition Revolving Loan Obligations) and Swing Line Loans and (y) for any week, the Letter of Credit Usage projected to be outstanding at such time as set forth in the Initial Budget for such period.
(ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $17,062,301.57, plus any increase in such amount resulting from any currency fluctuation); or
(iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments less the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans less the outstanding principal amount of Swing Line Loans.
66
Each Letter of Credit (and corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion), including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars or Canadian Dollars. If the Issuing Lender is obligated to advance funds under a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall immediately reimburse such L/C Disbursement to the Issuing Lender by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received written or telephonic notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on the date of receipt, and, in the absence of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans. To the extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Loan. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 3.2 to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.
3.2 L/C Disbursement. Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement pursuant to Section 3.1, each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Credit Loan deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection on the same terms and conditions as if the Borrower had requested such Loan and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, and each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 3.1, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 5.1,
67
Section 5.2 or Section 5.3. If any such Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section, such Lender shall pay, and the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as provided in Section 2.16(c) until paid in full.
3.3 Direction. The Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application.
3.4 Change in Law. Without duplication of any payments made under or pursuant to Section 2.21, if by reason of (a) any change after the Interim Facility Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (b) compliance by the Underlying Issuer or the Lenders with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority, including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):
(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or
(ii) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the Lenders or Agents any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto,
and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Revolving Credit Lenders of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount received in respect thereof by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, then, and in any such case, the Administrative Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay on demand such amounts as the Administrative Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Administrative Agent for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. The determination by the Administrative Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.4 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
68
3.5 Charges; Fees. Any and all issuance charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be reimbursable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by the Borrower that, as of the Interim Facility Effective Date, the issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum times the undrawn amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals.
3.6 Cash Collateral. Any cash collateral provided with respect to any Letter of Credit under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be provided (a) with respect to any Letter of Credit Usage denominated in Canadian Dollars, in Canadian Dollars, and (b) with respect to any Letter of Credit Usage denominated in Dollars, in Dollars.
3.7 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Agents and the Lenders harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by any Agent or any Lender arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, any other Lender or any Agent. The Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by the Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any L/C issued by the Issuing Lender to or for the Borrower’s account, even though this interpretation may be different from the Borrower’s own, and the Borrower understands and agrees that the Agents and the Lenders shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto except for gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to pay a Letter of Credit when required to be paid. The Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may require the Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by the Borrower against such Underlying Issuer. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Agents and the Lenders harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by any Agent or any Lender under any L/C Undertaking as a result of any such Agent’s or Lender’s indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, any other Lender or any Agent or the failure to pay a Letter of Credit when required to be paid. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agents and the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender shall be responsible for delays, errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any Letter of Credit except for gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to pay a Letter of Credit when required to be paid.
3.8 Pre-Petition Letters of Credit. Schedule E-2 hereto contains a list of all letters of credit outstanding on the Chapter 11 Filing Date pursuant to the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement. For the period from and after the Interim Facility Effective Date, each such letter of credit set forth on Schedule E-2, including any extension or renewal thereof that remains
69
outstanding on the Interim Facility Effective Date (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, a “Pre-Petition Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” issued for the account of the Borrower, for all purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, calculations of Availability, the Borrowing Base, Letter of Credit fees and Letter of Credit Usage.
SECTION 4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(b), during the period from December 31, 2006 to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by the Parent or its consolidated Subsidiaries of any part of its business or Property with an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $2,000,000.
(c) The Initial Budget, when delivered, shall be believed by the Borrower at the time furnished to be reasonable, shall have been prepared on a reasonable basis and in good faith by the Parent and the Borrower, and shall have been based on assumptions believed by the Parent and the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made and is consistent with all information then reasonably available to the Parent and the Borrower, and the Parent and the Borrower shall not be aware of any facts or information that would lead it to believe that such Initial Budget, is incorrect or misleading in any material respect.
70

4.2 No Change. Other than as disclosed in the Parent’s public filings that have been filed prior to the Interim Facility Effective Date, since December 31, 2006 there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Subject to the entry and the terms of the Bankruptcy Court Orders, each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, subject to the entry and the terms of the Bankruptcy Court Orders to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subject to the entry and the terms of the Bankruptcy Court Orders, no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except the filings referred to in Section 4.20 with respect to this Canadian Collateral. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. Subject to the entry and the terms of the Bankruptcy Court Orders, this Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.
4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any material Contractual Obligation of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or
71
require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents, the Interim Bankruptcy Court Orders and/or the Final Bankruptcy Court Orders). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.6 No Material Litigation. Except for any prepetition litigation that is and remains stayed as to enforceability by the provisions of any applicable Bankruptcy Code, the Interim Bankruptcy Court Orders and/or the Final Bankruptcy Court Orders, on the Interim Facility Effective Date there is no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower, threatened by or against the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or against any of their respective properties or revenues, (i) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) involving a claim for damages in excess of $100,000.
4.7 No Default. None of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect other than defaults, the enforcement of which will be stayed by virtue of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and the CCAA Proceedings. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries is the sole owner of, legally and beneficially, and has good marketable and insurable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all real property necessary for the operation of its business, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all other Property necessary for the operation of its business, and none of its real property or other Property is subject to any Lien except for Permitted Liens. None of the Pledged Stock is subject to any Lien except for Permitted Liens.
4.9 Intellectual Property.
(a) The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or holds valid rights to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and as currently contemplated to be conducted (the “Material Intellectual Property”). All such rights are free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and are fully assignable by the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries to any Person without payment, consent of any Person or other condition or restriction. No Material Intellectual Property has been abandoned, cancelled or adjudicated invalid or is subject to any decree restricting its use. No material claim, suit, action, reissue, interference, arbitration, mediation, opposition, cancellation or other proceeding has been asserted, decided or is pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower, is threatened, by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Material Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Material Intellectual Property, nor does any Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim except for claims that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and as currently contemplated to be conducted by the Parent and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect.
72
(b) The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owns or has rights to access and use all IT Systems used to process, store, maintain and operate data, information and functions used in connection with the business or otherwise necessary for the conduct of the business, including systems to operate payroll, accounting, billing/receivables, payables, inventory, asset tracking, customer service and human resources functions. The IT Systems are adequate in all material respects for their intended use and for the operation of the business as currently operated and as currently contemplated to be operated by the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries, and are in good working condition (normal wear and tear excepted). There has not been any malfunction with respect to any of the IT Systems since December 31, 2006 that has not been remedied or replaced in all material respects.
4.10 Taxes. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority all tax returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (“Returns”) required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said Returns and all other taxes, fees, assessments or other charges imposed on the income, operations or Property of each Loan Party or its Subsidiaries by any Governmental Authority (other than (a) any taxes, fees, assessments or other charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Parent or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (b) Returns required to be filed with respect to the payment of taxes and taxes, in each case, in an aggregate amount not in excess of $1,000,000 and (c) taxes set forth on Schedule 4.10); and no tax Lien (other than any tax Lien that is a Permitted Lien) has been filed, and, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, no material claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge. No Loan Party and no Subsidiary thereof (i) intends to treat the Loans or any other transaction contemplated hereby as being a “reportable transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.6011-4) or (ii) is aware of any facts or events that would result in such treatment.
4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Parent or the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U 1 referred to in Regulation U.
4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes, stoppages or slowdowns or other labor disputes against the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Parent and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries on account of
73
employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Parent or the relevant Subsidiary.
4.13 ERISA. (a) Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred (whether or not waived) during the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Single Employer Plan that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Single Employer Plan has been administered in compliance with its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except where the failure to so comply would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred that would reasonably be expected to result in a liability to the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity in excess of $1,000,000, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Single Employer Plan has arisen on the assets of the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Single Employer Plan) did not, as determined as of the date of the last annual actuarial valuation prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Single Employer Plan by an amount that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent which Reorganization or Insolvency could result in liability to the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity nor any fiduciary of any Plan has engaged in a nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Sections 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code with respect to any Single Employer Plan that could result in a liability to the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity in excess of $1,000,000. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower, threatened claims, actions, proceedings or lawsuits (other than claims for benefits in the normal course) asserted or instituted against (i) any Single Employer Plan or its assets, (ii) any fiduciary with respect to any Single Employer Plan, or (iii) the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity with respect to any Single Employer Plan, except any claim, action, proceeding or lawsuit described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) that would not reasonably be expected to result in an aggregate liability for all such claims, actions, proceedings or lawsuits in excess of $1,000,000.
(b) Schedule 4.13 sets forth (x) the current funding status of the Plans on an ongoing and termination basis, including the projected accumulated benefit obligations as defined in FAS No. 87 and the market value of assets available for such benefits, and (y) post-retirement medical and life insurance benefit liabilities for current and former U.S. employees of the Borrower.
4.14 Canadian Benefit and Pension Plans. To the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower, the Canadian Pension Plans are duly registered with the applicable Governmental Authority under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any other Requirement of Law which require registration and no event has occurred which is
74
reasonably likely to cause the loss of such registered status. As of the date hereof, all material, if any, obligations of each Loan Party (including fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) required to be performed pursuant to a Requirement of Law in connection with the Canadian Pension Plans and the terms thereof and the funding agreements therefor have been performed in a timely fashion. There have been no improper withdrawals or applications of the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans listed on Schedule 4.14 or the Canadian Benefit Plans maintained and sponsored by the Loan Parties. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or as disclosed on Schedule 4.14 (i) there are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets held under the funding agreements for the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans; and (ii) each Canadian Pension Plan maintained and sponsored by the Loan Parties is fully funded both on an ongoing basis and on a solvency basis (using actuarial methods and assumptions which are consistent with the valuations last filed with the applicable Governmental Authorities and which are consistent with generally accepted actuarial principles). Schedule 4.14 hereto sets forth as of the dates indicated on Schedule 4.14 (x) the funding status of the Canadian Pension Plans maintained and sponsored by the Loan Parties that are defined benefit plans and that are not fully funded on a going concern or solvency basis based on generally accepted actuarial principles and (y) the payment schedule, where a payment schedule is required at law to reduce the unfunded liabilities. No promises of benefit improvements under the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans have been made except where such improvement would not have a Material Adverse Effect. All employer contributions and premiums required to be made or paid by each Loan Party, if any, to the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans have been made or paid in accordance with the terms of such plans and all Requirements of Law. All employee contributions to the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans by way of authorized payroll deduction or otherwise have been properly withheld or collected and fully paid into such plans by each Loan Party. All material reports and disclosures relating to the Canadian Pension Plans maintained and sponsored by the Loan Parties required by such plans and any Requirement of Law to be filed or distributed have been filed or distributed in a timely manner. Each Loan Party has withheld all employee withholdings and has made all employer contributions to be withheld and made by it pursuant to applicable law on account of the Canada Pension Plan, employment insurance and employee income taxes. No Pension Plan Termination Event has occurred.
4.15 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.
4.16 Subsidiaries. (a) The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.16 constitute all the Subsidiaries of the Parent as of the Interim Facility Effective Date.

then, and in any such event, any or all of the following actions may be taken: with the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Term Loan B Facility, the Collateral Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Term Loan B Facility, the Collateral Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare without further order of, or application to, any Bankruptcy Court (i) the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon), and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts of obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments to be terminated forthwith (whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments shall immediately terminate) (the date on which any of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are taken being referred to herein as the “Acceleration Date”). In the case of all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to 105% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure the
111
undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and all other Obligations). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Collateral Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). With respect to the Revolver Priority Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise such enforcement rights and remedies so long as the Collateral Agent shall irrevocably appoint the Administrative Agent, in writing, as an agent of the Collateral Agent for purposes of exercising such enforcement rights and remedies with respect to the Revolver Priority Collateral. All such actions shall be taken by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to realize a commercially reasonable value from the Collateral within a commercially reasonable time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 9.3 in acting as an appointee of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
SECTION 9 THE AGENTS; THE ARRANGER
9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, but without limitation, to make the Loans and Collateral Agent Advances, for such Agent or on behalf of the applicable Lenders as provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.
9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
112
9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Arranger, any Agent nor any officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Arranger, the Syndication Agent, or the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
9.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee (or the registered assigns) of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
9.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that any Agent shall receive such a notice, such Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent who,
113
promptly upon receipt of such notification, shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Term Loan B Facility (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided, that (i) unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions or (ii) subject to Section 8, if the Collateral Agent shall receive conflicting directions, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
9.6 Non Reliance on the Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Arranger or any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents, the Syndication Agent and the Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans (and in the case of any the Issuing Lender, to issue its Letters of Credit) hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, none of the Arranger, the Syndication Agent or any Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Arranger, the Syndication Agent or any Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Arranger, the Syndication Agent and each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save the Arranger, the Syndication Agent and each Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
114
disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Arranger, the Syndication Agent or such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Arranger, the Syndication Agent or such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from the Arranger’s or such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8 Arranger, the Syndication Agent and Agents in their Individual Capacities. The Arranger, the Syndication Agent and each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Arranger, the Syndication Agent or such Agent were not an Arranger or a Syndication Agent or an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Arranger, the Syndication Agent and each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Arranger or a Syndication Agent or an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Arranger, the Syndication Agent, and the Agents in their individual capacities.
9.9 Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Term Loan B Agent may resign as such agent upon 30 days’ notice (or such shorter notice as the Required Lenders may agree) to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the Term Loan B Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Term Loan B Agent, respectively, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Term Loan B Agent, as applicable, and the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Collateral Agent” and “Term Loan B Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or Term Loan B Agent’s, as applicable, rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Term Loan B Agent, respectively, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Term Loan B Agent, as applicable, or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or issuers of Letters of Credit. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Term Loan B Agent, as applicable, by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or Term Loan B Agent’s, as applicable, notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or Term Loan B Agent’s, as applicable, resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent,
115
Collateral Agent or Term Loan B Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 9.12.
9.11 Reserved.
9.12 Collateral Matters.
(a) The Collateral Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Collateral Agent Advances”) which the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrower of the Loans, contingent reimbursement obligations with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit, and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.5. The Collateral Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral. The Collateral Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account. The Collateral Agent shall notify each Lender and the Borrower in writing of each such Collateral Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Collateral Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 9.7, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Collateral Agent, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Collateral Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Collateral Agent by such Lender, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Collateral Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the rate in effect for Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans.
(b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion (without notice to, or vote or consent of any other Agent, any Lender or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Bank Product Agreement), to release any Lien on any Collateral and to release any guarantee obligations of any Person (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if the Borrower certifies to the Collateral Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and that the proceeds thereof will be applied as required under this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) constituting property not then or at any time previously owned by a Loan Party or leased by a Loan Party under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.12(b).
116
(c) Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 9.12(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 9.12(b). If so requested, upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by any Loan Party.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document (i) when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Bank Product Agreement) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (other than any Letter of Credit that has been cash collateralized in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), upon request of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Bank Product Agreements) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Bank Product Agreements, and (ii) if any Loan Party Disposes of any Collateral in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, upon request of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Bank Product Agreements) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in the Collateral being Disposed of (including all proceeds thereof other than Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied to prepay the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13) and release any guarantee obligations of any Person being Disposed of to the extent that any such Disposition of Collateral results in the Disposition of a Guarantor, in each case if the Borrower certifies to the Collateral Agent that the Disposition is permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and that the Net Cash Proceeds thereof will be applied as required under this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
117
(e) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Loan Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 9.12 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.
9.13 Agency for Perfection. Each Agent and each Lender hereby appoints each other Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable law, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders as secured party. Should any Agent (other than the Collateral Agent) or any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Agent or such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be necessary or required under applicable law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.
9.14 Withholding Tax. (a) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax.
(b) If (i) a Loan Party requests a Lender or Transferee to file a certificate or document pursuant to Section 2.22(e) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, (ii) such Lender or Transferee is legally able to deliver such certificate or document at the time of such request and complies with the Loan Party’s request and (iii) the Internal Revenue Service, the Canada Revenue Agency or any authority of the United States of America, Canada or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because (a) the appropriate form was not properly executed, or (b) such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the information contained in such form with respect to such Lender inaccurate or incorrect, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, including penalties, additions to tax and interest.
118
(c) If any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, participant or transferee, as applicable, shall comply and be bound by the terms of this Section 9.14. If any Lender grants a participation in its rights under this Agreement, the participant shall comply with Section 2.22(e) at the time such participant seeks to obtain the benefits of Section 2.22.
9.15 Bank Product Provider. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a party hereto for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Agents are acting; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of a Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of a Bank Product Provider’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In connection with any distribution of such payments and collections, the Agents shall be entitled to assume that no amounts are due to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has notified the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it prior to such distribution.
9.16 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

122
Provided, that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Arranger, any Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender shall not be effective until received.
Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall be construed to limit or affect the obligation of the Borrower or any other Person to serve upon the Agents and the Lenders in the manner prescribed by each applicable Bankruptcy Code any pleading or notice required to be given to the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to any such Bankruptcy Code.
10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.
10.5 Payment of Expenses. The Loan Parties agree (on behalf of themselves and their Subsidiaries) (a) to pay or reimburse the Arranger, each Lender providing a Revolving Credit Commitment as of the date hereof, each Agent and the Syndication Agent for all their reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to each Agent and the charges of Intralinks, and the reasonable fees and disbursement of one financial advisor to the Administrative Agent (for itself and on behalf of all the Lenders) (provided, that such advisor shall have no direct access to the Loan Parties without such Person’s consent and the fees and expenses of such advisor shall not exceed $20,000 per month), (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, each Agent, the Arranger and the Syndication Agent for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with any restructuring or “work-out” of the Loans hereunder or the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including,
123
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and disbursements and other charges of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to each Agent and the Syndication Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender, the Arranger, the Agents and the Syndication Agent for, and hold each Lender, the Arranger, the Agents and the Syndication Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, the Arranger, each Agent, the Syndication Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, affiliates, shareholders, attorneys and other advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties or the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons and the fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are (i) found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) resulted solely from the failure of the Loan Parties to reimburse any Agent or any Lender for expenses that the Loan Parties are not required to reimburse under clause (a) of this Section 10.5. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of Information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee; provided, that the Borrower does not waive any such right with respect to matters that were found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section may be charged to the Loan Account pursuant to Sections 2.19(c) and 2.20 and, upon request, the Borrower shall be entitled to receive a reasonably detailed written invoice for such amounts. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be
124
submitted to the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Arranger, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns (including, except for the right to request Loans, Letters of Credit or Bank Products, any trustee succeeding to the rights of the Loan Parties pursuant to Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code or any trustee in bankruptcy succeeding to the rights of any of the Loan Parties under the BIA or pursuant to any conversion to a case under Chapter 7 of the US Bankruptcy Code), except that the Loan Parties may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Arranger, the Agents and each Lender.
(b) Any Lender may (x) with the written consent of the Collateral Agent and Term Loan B Agent, assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and any Term Loan made by it and (y) with the written consent of the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Agents, assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans made by it; provided, however, that (i) such assignment is in an amount which is at least $5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remainder of such Lender’s Commitment) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an assignment by a Lender to (x) a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of whom is an Affiliate or Related Fund of each other to the extent the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), (ii) except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.6(b), the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver with any of the consents required pursuant to this Section to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit C (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), together with any promissory note subject to such assignment and such parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except the payment of such fee shall not be required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender) and (iii) no written consent of the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Agent shall be required (1) in connection with any assignment by a Lender to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender or (2) if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of such Lender. Except as provided in the third to last sentence of this Section 10.6(b), upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least 3 Business Days after the delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the parties to such assignment), (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it
125
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.6(b), a Lender may assign any or all of its rights under the Loan Documents to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund with respect to such Lender without delivering an Assignment and Acceptance to the Agents or to any other Person (a “Related Party Assignment”); provided, however, that (I) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned until an Assignment and Acceptance has been delivered to the Administrative Agent for recordation on the Register, (II) the Collateral Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender until receipt by the Collateral Agent of a copy of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 10.6(e), (III) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver an Assignment and Acceptance to the Agents shall not affect the legality, validity, or binding effect of such assignment, (IV) an Assignment and Acceptance between the assigning Lender and an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance and recorded on the Related Party Register (as defined below), and (V) the assigning Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, keep a register of such assignment comparable to the Register (the “Related Party Register”). The Related Party Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower from time to time upon reasonable notice. So long as no Event of Default exists, any Lender making an assignment under this Section 10.6 shall use reasonable efforts to make such assignment to an assignee that would not be entitled to any additional amounts under Section 2.22 to which the assigning Lender would not be entitled.
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agents on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
126
incidental hereto and thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain, or cause to be maintained at its office, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it. The Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register (and any Lender that makes a Related Party Assignment shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Related Party Register) as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. In the case of any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note, Borrower shall issue one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount to the designated assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled.”
(e) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a completed Assignment and Acceptance, and subject to any consent required from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Term Loan B Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 10.6(b) (which consent of the Collateral Agent, the Term Loan B Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, must be evidenced by the Collateral Agent’s, the Term Loan B Agent’s, the Issuing Lender’s and the Swing Line Lender’s execution of an acceptance to such Assignment and Acceptance), the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment, record the information contained therein in the Register and provide to the Collateral Agent a copy of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance.
(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans made by it and its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the principal amount of the Loans or the reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on the Loans or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or any Loan Party (except as set forth in Section 9.12 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.21 and Section 2.22 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender; provided, that a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.21 or 2.22 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall
127
maintain a register, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Registered Loan that is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(g) The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Xxxxx’x, Standard & Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). The Loan Parties shall cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization, provided, that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose material additional costs on the Loan Parties and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or materially increase the obligations, of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Loan Parties the financial terms of the Loans, (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization, and (c) providing in connection with any rating of the Loans a certificate (i) agreeing to indemnify the Lenders and their Affiliates, any of the Rating Agencies, or any party providing credit support or otherwise participating in the Securitization (collectively, the “Securitization Parties”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which the Lenders, their Affiliates or such Securitization Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Lenders in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or their successors or assigns of the Loans and (ii) agreeing to reimburse the Lenders and their Affiliates for any legal or other reasonable out of pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Liabilities.
(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.
128
(i) For the avoidance of doubt, no assignment shall be or shall be deemed to be a discharge, rescission, extinguishment, novation or substitution of any Loan and any Loan so assigned shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligation.
10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding designated accounts held in trust for the benefit of a third party or for the payment of withholding taxes, in each case, to the extent such accounts are identified as such to the Agents by the Borrower), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees to notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.16 Accounting Changes. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Parent, the Borrower and the Agents agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for
131
evaluating the Parent’s or the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Parent, the Borrower, the Agents and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC.
10.17 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE ARRANGER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
10.18 Determinations; Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”) (or for the purposes of Section 2.9(f)), then, to the extent permitted by law, conversion shall be made at the Currency Exchange Rate on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given (or for the purposes of Section 2.9(f), on the Business Day on which the payment was received by the Administrative Agent). In the event that there is a change in the Currency Exchange Rate 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 Borrower shall to the extent permitted by law, 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 Currency Exchange Rate on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction) is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other Loan Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due (including any Currency Due for purposes of Section 2.9) from the Borrower which the Administrative Agent is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due (including any Currency Due for purposes of Section 2.9) originally due to it, the Borrower shall indemnify and save the Agents and Lenders harmless from and against loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall (i) constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, (iii) apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Agent or any Lender from time to time, (iv) survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, and (v) 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 Loan Document or under any judgment or order.

The Borrower and Guarantors hereby stipulate and agree that each of the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent and Documentation Agent is and shall remain a party in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases and the CCAA Proceedings and shall have the right to participate, object and be heard in any motion or proceeding in connection therewith. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to be a waiver of any of such Agent’s rights or remedies under applicable law or documentation. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Agent shall have the right to make any motion or raise any objection it deems to be in its interest (specifically including but not limited to objections to use of proceeds of the Loans, to payment of professional fees and expenses or the amount thereof, to sales or other transactions outside the ordinary course of business or to assumption or rejection of any executory contract or lease), provided, that no Agent will exercise such right if the action or inaction by the Borrower or the Guarantors which is the subject of such motion or objection is expressly permitted by any covenant or provision of this Agreement.

[1] | The preliminary saw mill bid economics estimates net proceeds available for distribution to the Lenders of approximately $76 million after reduction of certain potential cash outlays, not including any transaction expenses which are built into the above budget. The amount for distribution assumes that the Company meets the buyer's requested target inventory. The inventory amounts and related valuation issues will continue to be analyzed to determine what that impact, if any, might be. |
[2] | Cash balance for the week ending 11/9/07 does not include approximately $2.4M lockbox receipts in TD depository accounts currently on hold. |

SCHEDULE 4.18: Environmental Matters
1. | Xxxx & Talbot Ltd. – Mackenzie Pulp Operations: In June 2002, Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. was requested by Environment Canada, based on detection of environmental contamination in an effluent treatment pond at the Mackenzie pulp mill, to remediate the basin. The environmental contamination occurred before Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. acquired the mill as a result of a manufacturing process that was discontinued at the mill in 1993. Xxxx & Talbot, Inc. has worked with British Columbia’s Ministry of Environment to develop an appropriate remediation strategy. Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. performed site testing and a series of partial basin dredges in 2003 and extensive dredging in 2004 and in 2005. The liability balance was $0.7 million at December 31, 2005, representing the estimated cost of removing the remaining sources of water contamination. Remediation costs charged to the liability in 2005 totaled $0.3 million. Further dredges are planned for 2007 to complete the remediation. |
2. | St. Helens, Oregon: In 1992, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), based on detection of creosote and hydrocarbon contamination, determined that a vacant industrial site formerly owned by Xxxx & Talbot, Inc. in Xx. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, required further investigation. Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. is currently participating in the investigation phase of this site. In 2006, Xxxx & Talbot, Inc.’s ecological and human health risk assessments were approved by ODEQ. The remediation liability balance was $5.8 million and $5.9 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, representing the most likely estimated future remediation and monitoring costs at this site. The liability is for the estimated costs of soil, sediment and groundwater remediation and post-remediation monitoring costs, and is based on Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc.’s assessment of the nature and extent of site contamination and remediation methodology. Site testing costs charged against the liability in the first six months of 2007 totaled $0.1 million. Xxxx & Talbot, Inc. is currently conducting a feasibility study to define site remedial action goals and expects the majority of the remediation costs to be incurred in 2009 and 2010, with post-remediation monitoring costs to begin in 2011 and to continue for 30 years. |
3. | Port Xxxxxx, Washington: Xxxx & Talbot, Inc. is working with the Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) to remediate Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc.’s former mill site sediments and surrounding area at Port Xxxxxx, Washington. WDOE requested that Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. perform an investigation of sediments in the bay adjacent to the mill site to determine the extent of wood waste accumulation. Remediation dredging was completed in 2003 as part of the sediment clean up action plan submitted to WDOE. Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. received approval of its remediation plan from WDOE in April 2004 and submitted a sediment baseline study in October 2004. The sediment baseline study indicated that the site was approximately 80 percent recovered. In November 2004, Xxxx & Talbot, Inc. received a letter from WDOE requesting additional study and in the fourth quarter of 2006 concluded discussions with WDOE and agreed on further remediation |
22
steps for the site. An interim dredge and sediment testing was completed in the first quarter of 2007. The liability balance for this site was $1.2 million and $1.4 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, representing the low end of the range of estimated future remediation and monitoring costs at this site and a related site previously leased as described below. The liability is for the estimated cost of dredging, sediment remediation and post-remediation monitoring costs, and is based on Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc.’s preliminary assessment of the nature and extent of site contamination and remediation methodology. Xxxx & Talbot, Inc. is conducting a risk investigation and feasibility study to define what, if any, further actions are required to satisfy a final consent decree and final closure of the remediation. Costs charged against the liability in the first six months of 2007 totaled $0.2 million. If WDOE requires more extensive remediation or monitoring, it is reasonably possible that up to $1.0 million of additional remediation and monitoring costs could be incurred based on currently available information and analysis. Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. expects to incur the majority of the remediation costs in 2007 and 2008, with post-remediation monitoring costs to begin in 2009 and continue for eight years. |
4. | Xxxx & Talbot, Inc. formerly leased a 72-acre site adjacent to the Port Xxxxxx sawmill site as a log raft holding area from the Washington Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). In 2003, the WDOE issued a “no further action” letter for the site declaring that there were negligible environmental effects from wood debris sediments at the log raft holding area. In 2004, WDNR advised Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. that it was proposing additional site investigations as a condition precedent to final termination of the lease. Xxxx & Talbot, Inc. is in discussions with the WDNR and WDOE on a resolution of the lease area issues. |
5. | In June 2002, Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. was requested by Environment Canada, based on detection of environmental contamination in an effluent treatment pond at the Mackenzie pulp mill, to remediate the basin. The environmental contamination occurred before Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. acquired the mill as a result of a manufacturing process that was discontinued at the mill in 1993. Xxxx & Talbot, Inc. has worked with British Columbia’s Ministry of Environment to develop an appropriate remediation strategy. Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc. performed site testing and a series of partial basin dredges in 2003 and extensive dredging in 2004 and in 2005. The liability balance was $0.7 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 representing the estimated cost of removing the remaining sources of water contamination. Based on test results, Xxxx & Talbot, Inc. does not plan to dredge in 2007 and believes that future dredges may be required to complete the remediation. |

(v) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Loan Party; or
(vi) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Secured Parties or any other Person, all as though such payment had not been made.
(b) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the date on which (A) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, (B) any further commitments to extend credit under the Loan Documents shall have been terminated, (C) the Letters of Credit and Bank Product Obligations shall have been collateralized in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and (D) the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been terminated in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Guaranty Termination Date”), (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, pledgees, transferees and assigns.

None of the rights or obligations of any Guarantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
SECTION 4. Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than any such notice expressly set forth in any of the Loan Documents) and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Secured Parties exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (iii) any right to compel or direct any Secured Party to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this Guaranty from any one particular fund or source or to exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (iv) any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto and (v) any other defense available to such Guarantor other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to marshall any assets in favor
- 3 -
of such Guarantor or against, or in payment of, any or all of the Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and in the Credit Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.
SECTION 5. Interest. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that certain of the rates of interest applicable as to the Guaranteed Obligations may be computed on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), as the same may be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time, whenever any interest is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate is equivalent to:
(a) | the applicable rate based on a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, |
(b) | multiplied by the actual number of days in a calendar year in which the period for such interest is payable (or compounded), and |
(c) | divided by 360, 365, or 366 days, as the case may be. |
In the event that it is held by a court of competent jurisdiction that Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada) applies to a payment under this Guaranty of “interest” (as defined in that section), then, notwithstanding any provision in this Guaranty, in no event shall the aggregate of such “interest” exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) under this Guaranty lawfully permitted by that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Guaranty in respect of that “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, the amount of such payment, collection or demand in excess of that permitted under applicable law shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the applicable Guarantor and the applicable Secured Party and the amount of such excess payment or collection shall be refunded to that Guarantor. For the purposes of this Guaranty, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Collateral Agent will, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of such rate.
SECTION 6. Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Loan Party that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Secured Parties against the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until
- 4 -
the Guaranty Termination Date. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the Guaranty Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty and the Credit Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If any Guarantor shall make payment to the Secured Parties of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and the Guaranty Termination Date shall have occurred, the Secured Parties will, at any Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to any Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the payment by a Guarantor.
SECTION 7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Such Guarantor (i) is a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state, province or other applicable jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) subject to the entry and the term of the Bankruptcy Court Orders, has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted and as presently contemplated and to execute and deliver this Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which such Guarantor is a party, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (iii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except, in the case of clause (iii), where the failure to be so qualified or the failure to be in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which such Guarantor is or will be a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company action, as applicable, (ii) do not and will not contravene its charter or by-laws, its limited liability company agreement or operating agreement or its certificate of partnership or partnership agreement, as applicable, or any applicable law, or any contractual restriction binding on or otherwise affecting such Guarantor or any of its properties (other than (A) where the contravention of such other contractual restrictions, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (B) conflicts, breaches and defaults the enforcement of which will be stayed by virtue of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases or the CCAA Proceedings ), or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases or the CCAA Proceedings ), (iii) do not and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien (other than pursuant to any Loan Document) upon or with respect to any of its properties, and (iv) do not and will not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to it or its operations or any of its properties, except in the case of this clause (iv) where such default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) [Intentionally Omitted].
(f) Such Guarantor (i) has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) now has and will continue to have independent means of obtaining information concerning the affairs, financial condition and business of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and has no need of, or right to obtain from any Secured Party, any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or the other Loan Parties that may come under the control of any Secured Party.

SECTION 8. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any Secured Party may, and is hereby authorized to, without prior notice to the Guarantors, any such notice being expressly waived by the Guarantors to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Guarantor hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set-off and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding designated accounts held in trust for the benefit of a third party or for the payment of withholding taxes, in each case, to the extent such accounts are identified as such to the Agents by any Loan Party) in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party or any
- 6 -
branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against any and all obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document. Each Secured Party agrees to notify the applicable Guarantor promptly after any such set-off and application made by such Secured Party, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Secured Party under this Section 8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Secured Party may have under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, in law or otherwise.
SECTION 9. Notices, Etc.

IT IS HEREBY FOUND, DETERMINED, ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:4
4 | Findings of fact shall be construed as conclusions of law, and conclusions of law shall be construed as findings of fact, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052. |
7
1. Disposition. The Motion is granted on an interim basis on the terms set forth in this Interim Order. Any objections to the interim relief sought in the Motion that have not previously been resolved or withdrawn are hereby overruled on their merits. This Interim Order shall be valid, binding on all parties-in-interest and fully effective immediately upon entry. The term of this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Documents and use of the Cash Collateral authorized hereunder shall expire, and the DIP Loans made pursuant to this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Agreement, and the DIP Loan Documents will mature and, together with all interest thereon and any other DIP Obligations accruing under the DIP Loan Agreement, will become due and payable (unless such DIP Loans and other DIP Obligations become due and payable earlier pursuant to the terms of the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order by way of acceleration or otherwise) thirty (30) days from the date of entry of this Interim Order if the Final Order has not been entered by the Court on or prior to such date.
2. Jurisdiction; Venue. The Court has jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases, the parties, and the Debtors’ property pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §157(b)(2)(D). Venue of the Chapter 11 Cases and the Motion is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.
3. Purpose and Necessity of Financing. The Debtors require the interim financing described in the Motion to fund, among other things, the Debtors’ cash requirements for working capital needs for the 30-day period commencing on the date hereof. The Debtors are unable to obtain adequate unsecured credit allowable under section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code as an administrative expense or other financing under section 364(c) or section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code on equal or more favorable terms than those set forth in the DIP Loan Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents within the time frame required by their needs to
8
avoid immediate and irreparable harm. A loan facility in the amount and in the manner provided by the DIP Loan Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents is not available to the Debtors, generally, without granting to the Lenders, pursuant to sections 364(c)(1), (2), (3) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, the following: (a) superpriority administrative expense claims with respect to all DIP Loans and other DIP Obligations having priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kinds specified in, or arising or ordered under, sections 105(a), 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507, 546(c), 552(b), 726, 1113 and 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such expenses or claims may become secured by a judgment lien or other non-consensual lien, levy or attachment (except as otherwise expressly provided for herein with respect to the Carve-Out); and (b) as security for all DIP Obligations, pursuant to sections 364(c)(2) and (3) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, (x) first priority, perfected security interests and liens in the Post-Petition Collateral, subject and subordinate only to the Carve-Out and the Permitted Priority Liens, (y) first priority, perfected security interests in and liens on all of the Debtors’ currently owned and after acquired unencumbered property, subject and subordinate only to the Carve-Out and the Permitted Priority Liens, and (z) junior priority, perfected security interests in and liens on all of the Debtors’ currently owned and after acquired encumbered property, including, but not limited to, the Pre-Petition Collateral. After considering all alternatives, the Debtors have concluded in the exercise of their prudent business judgment that the loan facility provided under the DIP Loan Documents represents the best working capital financing available to them.
4. Good Cause. The Debtors’ ability to obtain sufficient working capital and liquidity under the DIP Loan Documents is vital to the Debtors’ estates and their creditors. The Debtors’ estates will be immediately and irreparably harmed if this Interim Order is not entered. Good cause thus has been shown for the interim relief sought in the Motion.
9
5. Good Faith. The terms of the DIP Loan Documents, including the interest rates and fees applicable thereto and intangible factors, are at least as or more favorable to the Debtors as those available from alternative sources. Based upon the record before the Court, the DIP Loan Documents have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s-length between the Debtors and the Lenders. Any DIP Loans and other financial accommodations made to the Debtors by the Lenders pursuant to this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Agreement or other DIP Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been extended by the Lenders in good faith, as that term is used in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Lenders shall be entitled to all protections afforded thereby. The terms of the loan facility provided under the DIP Loan Documents are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors’ exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties, and are supported by reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration.
6. Authorization to Use Cash Collateral. During the term of this Interim Order and subject to the terms hereof, the Debtors are authorized to use the proceeds of the DIP Loans and Cash Collateral in which any party, including the Lenders, may have an interest, in accordance with the Budget (after giving effect to any Budget Carryover Amount) and pursuant to the terms of the DIP Loan Agreement and this Interim Order; provided that, prior to November 26, 2007, and so long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing under the DIP Loan Agreement at any time after the Interim Facility Effective Date, the Debtors are authorized to use any Cash Collateral in their existing operating accounts in an amount not to exceed $14,800,000 in accordance with the Budget (after giving effect to any Budget Carryover
10
Amount). To the extent that any such party (other than the Pre-Petition Lenders) does not consent to the use of any item of the Post-Petition Collateral, the interests of such party are hereby deemed adequately protected.
7. Interim Borrowing. The Debtors, (i) upon filing with the Court of one or more motions seeking approval of the procedures for sale of all or substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, (ii) upon entry of the Canadian DIP Order by the Canadian Bankruptcy Court, and (iii) subject to the satisfaction of the other conditions to borrowing under the DIP Loan Documents, are immediately authorized to obtain interim DIP Loans pursuant to the terms of the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order in the principal amount of up to the Maximum Interim Borrowing. Available financing and advances under the DIP Loan Agreement will be made, subject to the Budget (after giving effect to any Budget Carryover Amount), to fund the Debtors’ working capital and general corporate needs, including professional fees as and when approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and other amounts required or allowed to be paid in accordance with the budget annexed hereto as Exhibit A (as superseded and replaced by the Debtors in accordance with the DIP Loan Agreement, the “Budget”), the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth in this Interim Order, and the DIP Loan Documents, including any and all costs of obtaining the interim DIP Loans. It shall be an Event of Default under the DIP Loan Documents if, during the term of this Interim Order, the Debtors fail to provide the Lenders, within three Business days after the end of the prior week, with a reconciliation, in form and substance acceptable to the Agents, of the actual cash collections and disbursements of the Loan Parties for such week to the budgeted line item amounts set forth in the Budget, together with a written explanation of any material variances. Neither the Agents nor the Lenders shall have any obligation with respect to the proceeds of the DIP Loans, the Post-Petition Collateral, or the use
11
of Cash Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to ensure or monitor the Debtors’ compliance with any such covenants, formulae, Budget or other terms and conditions or, except to the extent provided under Section 2.13(j) of the DIP Loan Agreement, be obligated to pay (directly or indirectly from the Post-Petition Collateral) any expenses incurred or authorized to be incurred pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents. The Agents’ and Lenders’ consent to any Budget shall not be construed as a commitment to continue to provide the DIP Loans or permit the use of Cash Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the DIP Loan Documents) or beyond the Final Maturity Date, regardless of whether the aggregate funds described in the Budget have been expended. For purposes of this Interim Order, however, the Debtors shall not be deemed to be in default for any negative deviation (downward, in the case of collections, and upward, in the case of disbursements) from the Budget provided such deviation, after giving effect to any Budget Carryover Amount (as defined in the DIP Loan Agreement), is not more than (i) 15% in the case of any single line item set forth in the Budget for the applicable period or (ii) 10% in the aggregate with respect to all items set forth in the Budget for the applicable period, calculated (A) for the period from the Filing Date to and including December 3, 2007, on a bi-weekly basis and (B) for the period from December 3, 2007 to and including the Final Maturity Date, on a weekly basis; provided, that, in the case of clause (i) and (ii) above, no amounts shall be included in the calculation of the deviation for (x) any portion of the Budget Carryover Amount that constitutes a disbursement or payment during such period, and (y) disbursements that constitute the professional fees of the Lenders; provided, further, that (A) in the case of disbursements, the deviation in disbursements from the Budget for any weekly period shall be calculated as a percentage of, and by reference to, the disbursements set forth in the Budget for such period, without giving effect to any Budget Carryover Amount permitted to be
12
used for such period and (B) in the case of collections, the Budget Carryover Amount shall be added to the actual collections in any given period to determine whether there has been a Material Adverse Deviation in collections for such period. For the avoidance of doubt, the first proviso and the second proviso of the foregoing shall be read together.
8. Superpriority Claim and Lien Priority.
(a) The Lenders are hereby granted, and all of the DIP Obligations shall and hereby do constitute, an allowed superpriority administrative expense claim against each Debtor (the “Superpriority Claim”) pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, having priority over any and all administrative expense claims of any kind asserted against the Debtors, including, but not limited to, the kinds specified in or arising or ordered under sections 105(a), 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507, 546(c), 552(b), 726, 1113 and 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such expenses or claims may become secured by a judgment lien or other non-consensual lien, levy or attachment, subject and subordinate in priority of payment only to the Carve-Out.
(b) As security for the DIP Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order, effective upon the date of this Interim Order, the Lenders are hereby granted, pursuant to sections 364(c)(2) and (3) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject and subordinate in priority of payment only to the Carve-Out and the Permitted Priority Liens (i) first priority, perfected security interests and liens, in and on all Post-Petition Collateral, (ii) first priority, perfected security interests in and liens on all of the Debtors’ currently owned and after acquired unencumbered property, and (iii) solely with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, junior priority, perfected security interests in and liens on all of the Debtors’ currently owned and after acquired encumbered property, including, but not limited to, the Pre-Petition Collateral (collectively, the “Post-Petition Liens”).
13
(c) No lien or security interest granted to the Lenders under this Interim Order or the DIP Loan Documents, as approved by this Interim Order, shall (i) be subject to any lien or security interest that is avoided and preserved for the benefit of the Debtors’ estates under section 551 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) hereafter be subordinated to or made pari passu with any other lien or security interest created pursuant to sections 364(c) or (d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Post-Petition Liens arising hereunder shall be and hereby are fully perfected security interests, such that no additional steps need be taken by the Agents or the Lenders to perfect such interests. Any provision of any lease or other license, contract or other agreement that requires (i) the consent or approval of one or more landlords or other parties or (ii) the payment of any fees or obligations to any governmental entity, in order for any Debtor to pledge, grant, sell, assign, or otherwise transfer any such leasehold interest or the proceeds thereof or other Post-Petition Collateral related thereto shall have no force and effect with respect to the transactions granting the Lenders a priority security interest in such leasehold interest, license, contract or agreement, or the proceeds of any assignment and/or sale thereof by any Debtor in favor of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of the DIP Loan Agreement.
(d) The Post-Petition Liens and Superpriority Claims granted to the Lenders under this Interim Order shall continue in the Chapter 11 Cases and in any superseding case or cases for the Debtors under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, and such liens and security interests shall maintain their priority as provided in this Interim Order, until all the DIP Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and the Total Term Loan B Commitment (together, the “Total Commitment”) are terminated.
14
9. Acknowledgements. In connection with the post-petition financing under the DIP Loan Agreement, the Debtors have agreed, represented, stipulated, or acknowledged, as applicable, which acknowledgements shall not be binding on any non-debtor party in interest as provided in paragraph 16 herein, that:
(a) except as set forth in Section 4.20 of the DIP Loan Agreement, the Debtors have obtained all authorizations, consents and approvals required to be obtained from, and have made all filings with and given all notices required to be made or given to, all U.S. federal, state and local governmental agencies, authorities and instrumentalities in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity and enforceability of the DIP Loan Documents to which any Debtor is a party;
(b) as consideration for entry into the DIP Loan Documents, until such time as all DIP Obligations and the Pre-Petition Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Total Commitment is terminated in accordance with the DIP Loan Agreement, the Debtors shall not in any way prime or seek to prime (i) the liens provided to the Lenders under this Interim Order, the Final Order or the DIP Loan Documents or (ii) the liens of the Pre-Petition Lenders and the Pre-Petition Agents in the Pre-Petition Collateral or the Post-Petition Collateral by offering a subsequent lender or a party-in-interest a superior or pari passu lien or security interest pursuant to section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, nor shall the Debtors seek the use of Cash Collateral without of the consent of the Agents, other than any use of Cash Collateral or additional liens granted the Lenders in the Final Order as may be contemplated in the DIP Loan Agreement and the Motion;
(c) as consideration for entry into the DIP Loan Documents, until such time as all DIP Obligations and the Pre-Petition Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the

(a) As adequate protection for the Debtors’ (i) granting of perfected, senior security interests in Pre-Petition Collateral in which the Pre-Petition Lenders and Pre-Petition Agents have a perfected, first priority security interest, and (ii) use of the Pre-Petition Collateral (including Cash Collateral), in accordance with sections 361, 363(e), and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Pre-Petition Lenders and Pre-Petition Agents are hereby granted valid, perfected, post-petition security interests in and liens (the “Pre-Petition Lender Replacement Liens”) on the Post-Petition Collateral (including Cash Collateral), and all cash and non-cash proceeds, rents, products and profits of any such Pre-Petition Collateral, to secure an amount equal to the aggregate diminution in the value of the Pre-Petition Lenders’ and Pre-Petition Agents’ interests in the Debtors’ interest in the Pre-Petition Collateral since the Filing Date for any reason (the “Pre-Petition Lender Diminution Amount”).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Interim Order or elsewhere, the Pre-Petition Lender Replacement Liens granted herein are pari passu with the liens under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement (the “Pre-Petition Liens”) and are junior and subordinate only to (i) the Post Petition Liens, (ii) Permitted Priority Liens, and (iii) the Carve-Out.
(c) To the extent that the Pre-Petition Lender Replacement Liens prove insufficient to provide the Pre-Petition Lenders and/or Pre-Petition Agents, as the case may be, with adequate protection, the Pre-Petition Lenders and Pre-Petition Agents shall be granted junior superpriority administrative claims (the “Adequate Protection Claims”) in the full amount
20
of the Pre-Petition Lender Diminution Amount, as contemplated by section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, having priority over any other claims, including the Debtors’ intercompany administrative claims and all other claims made pursuant to section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and junior only to the Superpriority Claim granted the Lenders and subject only to payment of DIP Obligations and the Carve-Out.
(d) Subject only to the rights of the parties in interest reserved under Paragraph 16 below, each Debtor shall be deemed to have released, waived, and agreed not to pursue any and all claims and causes of action it has or may have against the Pre-Petition Lenders and Pre-Petition Agents or the Pre-Petition Collateral.
12. Fees. All fees payable and costs and/or expenses reimbursable under the DIP Loan Agreement and other DIP Loan Documents by the Debtors to the Lenders are hereby approved and shall be promptly paid by the Debtors in accordance with this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Documents, and the Debtors are hereby authorized to pay all such fees without the necessity of the Debtors, the Lenders or the Agents filing any further application with the Court for approval or payment of such fees or expenses. All fees and costs and/or expenses payable by the Debtors pursuant to the terms of the DIP Loan Documents in connection with the recording, filing and insuring of financing statements and mortgages to confirm (pursuant to Paragraph 18 of this Interim Order) the perfection of the security interests granted or authorized by this Interim Order are hereby approved and shall be promptly paid in full by the Debtors without the necessity of the Debtors, the Lenders or the Agents filing any further application with the Court for approval of payment of such fees, costs and/or expenses.
13. Authority to Execute and Deliver Necessary Documents. Each of the Debtors is hereby authorized and empowered to enter into and deliver the DIP Loan Agreement
21
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B and the other DIP Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, mortgages or deeds of trust as necessary or appropriate and securing all of the Debtors’ obligations under the DIP Loan Agreement, including repayment of all DIP Obligations. Each of the Debtors is hereby further authorized, empowered and directed (a) to perform all of its obligations under the DIP Loan Documents and such other agreements as may be required by the DIP Loan Documents to give effect to the terms of the financing provided for in the DIP Loan Documents as approved by this Interim Order, (b) to perform all acts required under the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order, including, without limitation, the payment of all principal, interest, charges, fees, and the reimbursement of present and future costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional expenses) paid or incurred by the Lenders or the Agents as provided for in this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Agreement, and the other DIP Loan Documents, all of which unpaid principal, interest, charges, fees, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and the reimbursement of present and future reasonable costs and expenses shall be included and constitute part of the principal amount of the DIP Obligations, be deemed a Superpriority Claim having the same priority as all other DIP Obligations hereunder and be secured by valid and perfected liens on and security interests in all of the Post-Petition Collateral as and to the extent provided for in this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Agreement, and the other DIP Loan Documents, subject and subordinate in priority of payment only to the Carve-Out and the Permitted Priority Liens, and (c) to do and perform all other acts, to make, execute and deliver all other instruments, agreements and documents, which may be required or necessary for the Debtors to perform all of their obligations under this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Documents, without further order of the Court and pending the Final Hearing. The DIP Obligations shall constitute
22
valid and binding obligations of each of the Debtors enforceable against each of them, and each of their successors and assigns, in accordance with their terms and the terms of this Interim Order.
14. Amendments. The Debtors and Lenders may enter into any amendments or modifications to the DIP Loan Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents without the need of further notice and hearing or order of this Court, provided that (a) such modifications or amendments do not materially and adversely affect, in the reasonable view of the Debtors, the rights of any creditor or other party-in-interest and (b) notice of any such amendment or modification is filed with the Court.
15. Carve-Out. (a) The Pre-Petition Liens, the Post-Petition Liens and the Superpriority Claims shall be subject to the Carve-Out (as defined in the DIP Loan Agreement). In connection with (i) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the Pre-Petition Collateral or the Post-Petition Collateral or (ii) any plan of reorganization or liquidation to which the Lenders consent, any amount determined to be due and owing in respect of the Carve-Out (which, for purposes of this provision, shall include any Transaction Fee to the extent not paid from the proceeds of such sale, transfer or other disposition) shall be satisfied pursuant to Section 2.13(j) of the DIP Loan Agreement or otherwise.
(b) No liens or priority status, other than the Carve-Out, having a lien or administrative priority superior to or pari passu with those granted by this Interim Order to the Lenders, shall be granted without the written consent of the Lenders while any portion of the DIP Obligations remains outstanding.
(c) With respect to professional expenses incurred by the Debtors or the Committees, the Carve-Out also shall include any payments authorized to be made pursuant to
23
any Bankruptcy Court-approved procedure for monthly or other payment of compensation or reimbursement of expenses, subject to the Budget; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed: (i) to exempt those persons hereafter receiving interim compensation payments or reimbursement of expenses pursuant to any such Bankruptcy Court-approved procedure from the applicable provisions of bankruptcy law, including the requirements that such compensation or reimbursement be allowed on a final basis after the filing of appropriate fee applications, and, if applicable, any subsequent order of this Court requiring that such payments be disgorged, and/or (ii) as consent to the allowance of any fees and expenses referred to above, and shall not affect any right of the Lenders to object to the reasonableness of such amounts;
(d) The Carve-Out shall not include, and neither Cash Collateral nor proceeds of any of the DIP Loans shall be used to request (i) the use of Cash Collateral or authority to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without the Lenders’ prior written consent, and (ii) authorization to obtain postpetition loans or other financial accommodations pursuant to section 364(c) or (d) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, other than in accordance with the Budget or as expressly permitted in the DIP Loan Agreement, or use Cash Collateral pursuant to section 363(c) of the Bankruptcy Code without the consent of the Agents and Lenders unless such loans or financial accommodations shall be used to indefeasibly pay in full in cash all DIP Obligations;
(e) Except as set forth in the DIP Loan Agreement, the Carve-Out shall not include, and neither Cash Collateral nor proceeds of any of the DIP Loans shall be used for, the payment or reimbursement of any fees or disbursements of the Debtors, any Committees or any trustee appointed in these Chapter 11 Cases incurred in connection with the assertion and prosecution of, or joinder in, any claim, counterclaim, action, proceeding, application, motion,
24
objection, defenses or other contested matter, including, but not limited to, any so-called lender liability claims, the purpose of which is to seek any order, judgment, determination or similar relief: (i) commencing or prosecuting any action asserting claims pursuant to sections 506(b), 542, 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 552(b), 553(b) or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or other cause of action (whether arising under state law, the Bankruptcy Code or other federal law, under any foreign law) against the Lenders, Agents, Pre-Petition Lenders, and Pre-Petition Agents with respect to the validity and extent of the DIP Obligations or the Pre-Petition Obligations or the validity, extent and priority of liens and security interests securing the DIP Obligations or the Pre-Petition Obligations; (ii) invalidating, setting aside, avoiding or subordinating, in whole or in part, the Lenders’, Agents’, Pre-Petition Lenders’, or Pre-Petition Agents’, liens on and security interests in the Post-Petition Collateral or Pre-Petition Collateral; (iii) preventing, hindering or delaying (whether, directly or indirectly) the Lenders, Agents, Pre-Petition Lenders, or Pre-Petition Agents in respect of their liens and security interests in the Post-Petition Collateral or Pre-Petition Collateral; and
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in subparagraphs 15(c-e) above, the Carve-Out shall include claims for services rendered by professionals retained by (i) the Committees, in an amount not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate, in connection with the investigation described in paragraph 16 below, but solely to the extent such fees and expenses are allowed under sections 330, 331 and 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) the Monitor, in an amount not to exceed CDN$100,000, related to the investigation of any claims against (x) the Agents or any Lender or their claims or security interests in or Liens on, the Collateral whether under the DIP Loan Agreement or any other DIP Loan Document and (y) any Pre-Petition Agent or any Pre-Petition Lender under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement or their claims or security interests in connection with the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement or any of the other loan documents or instruments entered into in connection therewith.
25
16. Committee Investigation Period.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the DIP Loan Agreement to the contrary, until sixty (60) days after the appointment by the U.S. Trustee of a statutory creditors’ committee (the “Creditors’ Committee”) in these Chapter 11 Cases, or seventy-five (75) days after the entry of the Final Order if no Creditors’ Committee is appointed (the “Investigation Termination Date”), the Creditors’ Committee or any other party-in-interest with the requisite standing, other than the Debtors, shall be entitled to investigate the validity, perfection, enforceability and extent of the Pre-Petition Lenders’ and Pre-Petition Agents’, existing liens relating to the Pre-Petition Obligations or to notify the Debtors of any other claims or causes of action against the Pre-Petition Lenders and Pre-Petition Agents (in each case, a “Challenge”). If the Creditors’ Committee, or, if no Creditors’ Committee is appointed, any party in interest determines that there may be a Challenge, it must notify the Debtors in writing (with a copy to the Agents) of its demand that the Debtors initiate an appropriate action or adversary proceeding relating thereto by not later than the Investigation Termination Date. If no such action is filed or taken on or before the Investigation Termination Date (or such other later date as extended by the written consent of the Pre-Petition Lenders and Pre-Petition Agents or by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, for cause shown), the acknowledgements contained in paragraphs 10(d) through 10(h) of this Interim Order shall be irrevocably binding on all parties in interest without further action by any party or this Court and all parties shall be forever barred from bringing or taking any such action. Unless the Pre-Petition Lenders and Pre-Petition Agents consent in writing to such an extension, the Investigation Termination Date may not be extended.
26
17. Limitation On Additional Surcharges. Subject to entry of the Final Order, except to the extent of the Carve-Out, no costs or expenses of administration or other surcharge, lien, assessment or claim incurred on or after the Chapter 11 Filing Date of any person or entity shall be imposed against any of the Post-Petition Collateral, Pre-Petition Collateral, Pre-Petition Lenders, Pre-Petition Agents, Lenders, or Agents, nor shall the Post-Petition Collateral, Pre-Petition Collateral, Pre-Petition Lenders, Pre-Petition Agents, Lenders, or Agents be subject to surcharge by any party-in-interest for any amounts arising or accruing from the Filing Date through and including the Final Facility Termination Date, pursuant to sections 506(c), 552(b) or 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar principle of law. No action, inaction, or acquiescence by the Lenders, Agents, Pre-Petition Lenders, or Pre-Petition Agents in these cases, including the Lenders’ funding of the Debtors’ ongoing operations under this Interim Order or the Final Order, or the DIP Loan Documents as approved by each, shall be deemed to be or shall be considered as evidence of any alleged consent by the Lenders, Agents, Pre-Petition Lenders, or Pre-Petition Agents to a charge against the Post-Petition Collateral, Pre-Petition Collateral, Lenders, Agents, Pre-Petition Lenders, or Pre-Petition Agents pursuant to sections 506(c), 552(b) or 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar principle of law. The Lenders shall not be subject in any way whatsoever to the equitable doctrine of “marshaling” or any similar doctrine with respect to the Post-Petition Collateral.
18. Additional Perfection Measures. (a) The liens, security interests, and priorities granted to the Lenders pursuant to this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Documents with respect to property of the Debtors’ estates shall be perfected by operation of law immediately upon entry of this Interim Order by the Court.
(b) Neither the Debtors nor the Lenders shall be required to enter into or to
27
obtain landlord waivers, mortgagee waivers, bailee waivers or warehouseman waivers or to file or record financing statements, mortgages, deeds of trust, leasehold mortgages, notices of lien or similar instruments in any jurisdiction (including, trademark, copyright, tradename or patent assignment filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Copyright Office, or any similar agency with respect to intellectual property), or obtain consents from any licensor or similarly situated party-in-interest, or take any other action in order to validate and to perfect the security interest and Post-Petition Liens or Pre-Petition Lender Replacement Liens granted pursuant to this Interim Order.
(c) If the Lenders, in their sole discretion and in accordance with the terms of the DIP Loan Agreement, choose to obtain consents from any licensor or similarly situated party-in-interest, to file financing statements, notices of lien or similar instruments, to record financing statements, mortgages or deeds of trust, or to otherwise confirm perfection of such security interests and liens, the automatic stay imposed under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code is hereby modified to permit such actions, and: (i) the Lenders are authorized and empowered to file or record financing statements, mortgages, deeds of trust or similar instruments which secure the DIP Obligations; (ii) all such documents shall be deemed to have been recorded and filed as of the time and on the date of entry of this Interim Order; and (iii) no defect in any such act shall affect or impair the validity, perfection and enforceability of the liens granted hereunder.
(d) In lieu of obtaining such consents or filing such financing statements, notices of lien or similar instruments, the Lenders may, at their sole discretion, choose to file a true and complete copy of this Interim Order in any place at which any such instruments would or could be filed, together with a description of Post-Petition Collateral located within the
28
geographic area covered by such place of filing, and such filing by the Lenders shall have the same effect as if such financing statements, notices of lien or similar instruments had been filed or recorded at the time and on the date of entry of this Interim Order.
(e) The Lenders may deliver a copy of this Interim Order to any third parties having possession of control of Pre-Petition Collateral, Cash Collateral, or Post-Petition Collateral.
19. Application of Collateral Proceeds. Except as may be otherwise permitted under the DIP Loan Documents and Paragraph 6 hereof, the Debtors are hereby authorized and directed, whether or not an Event of Default or a Default by the Debtors of any of their obligations under the DIP Loan Documents (as approved by this Interim Order) has occurred, to remit to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the DIP Loan Documents all collections on, and proceeds of, the Post-Petition Collateral, including all accounts receivable collections, proceeds of sales of inventory, fixed assets and any other assets, including sales in and outside the ordinary course of business, and all other cash or cash equivalents which shall at any time on or after the Chapter 11 Filing Date come into the possession or control of the Debtors, or to which the Debtors shall become entitled at any time. The automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code are hereby modified to permit the Agents and Lenders to collect, retain and apply all existing Cash Collateral and collections, remittances and proceeds of Post-Petition Collateral to the DIP Obligations, in accordance with this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Documents.
20. Access to Information. Without limiting the rights of access and information afforded the Agents and Lenders under the DIP Loan Agreement and other DIP Loan Documents, the Debtors shall permit representatives, agents and/or employees of the
29
Agents and Lenders to have reasonable access to their premises and their records during normal business hours (without unreasonable interference with the proper operation of the Debtors’ businesses) and shall cooperate, consult with, and provide to such persons all such non-privileged information as they may reasonably request.
21. Access to Collateral. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and without limiting any other rights or remedies of the Lenders contained in this Interim Order or the DIP Loan Documents, or otherwise available at law or in equity, and subject to the terms of the DIP Loan Agreement, upon three (3) business days’ written notice to the landlord of any leased premises upon which any Post-Petition Collateral is located (a “Landlord”) that an Event of Default or a Default by the Debtors of any of their obligations under the DIP Loan Documents or this Interim Order has occurred and is continuing, the Lenders may, subject to any separate agreement by and between such Landlord and the Agents and/or Lenders, enter upon any leased premises of any of the Debtors for the purpose of exercising any remedy with respect to Post-Petition Collateral located thereon and shall be entitled to all of the Debtors’ rights and privileges as lessee under such lease without interference from the Landlords thereunder; provided, however, that the Agents shall only pay base rent as defined in the lease with any such Landlord (or other agreement between Lender and the Landlord) and additional rent obligations of the Debtors (limited to charges for utilities, unless otherwise agreed between the Landlord and Agents) that first arise after the Agents’ written notice referenced above and that are payable during the period of such occupancy by the Agents, calculated on a per diem basis. Nothing herein shall require the Debtors to assume and assign to the Agents any lease under section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code as a precondition to the rights afforded to the Agents in this paragraph.
30
22. Cash Management Systems. The Debtors are authorized and directed to maintain their cash management system in a manner consistent with the DIP Loan Documents and the Order (i) Authorizing Continued Maintenance of Existing Bank Accounts, (ii) Authorizing Continued Use of Existing Cash Management System, (iii) Authorizing Continuation of Certain Intercompany Transactions and Preservation of Existing Intercompany Setoff Rights, (iv) Granting Administrative Status for Postpetition Intercompany Transactions, (v) Authorizing Continued Use of Existing Business Forms and (vi) Waiving the Requirements of 11 U.S.C. § 345(b).
23. Automatic Stay Modified. The automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code are, to the extent applicable, vacated and modified to the extent necessary so as to permit the Lenders:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the DIP Loan Documents, or any default of a provision of this Interim Order, to declare all or any portion of the DIP Loans then outstanding to be due and payable and (i) to terminate the Commitments, and, upon such termination, the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (ii) to declare the DIP Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and, upon such declaration, the principal of the DIP Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Loan Parties accrued under the DIP Loan Agreement, shall become due and payable immediately, without further order of, or application to, the Court, presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and (iii) after five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the counsel for Debtors, counsel for the Committees, and the U.S. Trustee, to exercise, or direct the Agents to
31
exercise, any and all of their other rights under applicable law, under the DIP Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, the Bankruptcy Code and the Uniform Commercial Code). Solely for purposes of the preceding clause (iii), the automatic stay of section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent applicable, shall only be deemed terminated as provided herein without the necessity of any further action by the Court in the event that the Debtors have not obtained an order from this Court to the contrary within five (5) Business Days after receiving such notice from the Lenders pursuant to this Interim Order. The Debtors shall have the burden of proof at any hearing on any request by them to re-impose or continue the automatic stay of section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or to obtain any other injunctive relief, and the only issue that may be raised at any such hearing shall be whether, in fact, an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) this Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to hear and resolve any disputes and enter any orders required by the provisions of this Interim Order and relating to the application, re-imposition or continuance of the automatic stay of section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or other injunctive relief requested;
(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Default by the Debtors of any of their obligations under the DIP Loan Documents, the Lenders and/or Agents, as applicable, may, without providing any prior notice thereof, immediately charge interest at the post-default rate set forth in the DIP Loan Agreement; and
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Default by the Debtors of any of their obligations under the DIP Loan Documents, the Agents may at all times continue to collect and sweep cash as provided in paragraphs 19 and 24 hereof.
24. Termination of Authorization to Use Cash Collateral. Upon the
32
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the DIP Loan Documents or of this Interim Order, the Lenders shall have no further obligation to provide financing under the DIP Loan Documents or DIP Loan Agreement as approved by this Interim Order, and the authorization to use Cash Collateral under the terms of this Interim Order shall automatically terminate; provided, however, that if the Debtors’ right to use Cash Collateral has been terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Interim Order, such right may be extended only upon (i) consent of the Agents and Lenders, (ii) the DIP Obligations and the Pre-Petition Obligations having been otherwise paid in full in cash, or (iii) further Order of this Court entered upon and after appropriate notice and opportunity for a hearing being provided to the Lenders; provided, however, the Debtors shall not be authorized to seek such further order until the DIP Obligations have been paid in full in cash; provided further, that any such further Order authorizing the use of Cash Collateral shall be conditioned as is necessary to provide adequate protection of Pre-Petition Lenders’ interests in the Pre-Petition Liens and the Pre-Petition Lenders’ Replacement Liens, including the diminution in the value of the Pre-Petition Collateral since the Chapter 11 Filing Date. The Agents and Lenders shall have no obligation to agree to such an extension under any circumstances and may elect or not elect to agree to such an extension as they determine in their sole and absolute discretion.
25. Bankruptcy Obligations. Until the Commitments have expired or terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans, all fees and all other DIP Obligations shall have been paid in full, it shall be an Event of Default under the DIP Loan Documents if the Debtors fail to:
(a) In the case of the wood products business of P&T and its Subsidiaries:

(b) In the case of the pulp business of P&T and its Subsidiaries:

26. No Responsible Person/Fiduciary. In making the decision to make DIP Loans, administering the DIP Loans, and extending other financial accommodations to the Debtors under the DIP Loan Agreement or to collect the indebtedness and obligations of the Debtors, the Agent and Lenders (a) shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Debtors, their creditors, shareholders or estates; and (b) shall not be considered to be exercising control over any operations of the Debtors or acting in any way as a responsible person, an owner or an operator under any applicable law, including without limitation, any environmental law (including but not limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601, et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 6901, et seq., as either may be amended from time to time, or any similar federal or state statute). Nothing in this Interim Order or any other documents related to this transaction shall be in any way construed or interpreted to impose or allow the imposition upon the Agents or Lenders of any liability for any claims arising from the pre-petition or post-petition activities of the Debtors in the operation of their businesses or in connection with their restructuring efforts.
35
27. Successors and Assigns. The DIP Loan Documents and the provisions of this Interim Order shall be binding upon the Lenders, the Debtors and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Debtors and their respective successors and assigns including, without limitation, any trustee, responsible officer, examiner with expanded powers, estate administrator or representative, or similar person appointed in a case for the Debtors under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.

29. Binding Nature of Agreement. Each of the DIP Loan Documents to which the Debtors are and will become a party shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Debtors, enforceable against the Debtors in accordance with their terms. The DIP Loan Documents have been or will be properly executed and delivered to the Agents and Lenders by the Debtors. The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, liens and priorities of the Lenders provided for in this Interim Order and in any other DIP Loan Documents shall not be modified, altered or impaired in any manner by any subsequent order (including a confirmation order) or by any plan of reorganization or liquidation in these cases or in any subsequent case under the Bankruptcy Code, unless and until the DIP Obligations have first been paid in full in cash and completely satisfied and the Total Commitment is terminated in accordance with the DIP Loan Agreement.
30. Subsequent Reversal or Modification. This Interim Order is entered pursuant to section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, granting the Agents and Lenders all protections
36
afforded by section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. If any or all of the provisions of this Interim Order are hereafter reversed, modified, vacated or stayed, that action will not affect (a) the validity of any obligation, indebtedness or liability incurred hereunder by any of the Debtors to the Agents and Lenders prior to the date of receipt by the Lenders of written notice of the effective date of such action or (b) the validity and enforceability of any lien or priority authorized or created hereby or pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subparagraphs, the Agents and/or the Lenders may petition this Court for any such additional protection they may reasonably require with respect to the DIP Loans or otherwise.
37
32. Sale/Conversion/Dismissal. (a) No motion shall be filed by the Debtors, and no order providing for either the sale of the ownership of the stock of the Debtors or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be entered by the Court unless, in connection and concurrently with any such event, the proceeds of such sale are or will be sufficient to indefeasibly pay all DIP Obligations, and such DIP Obligations shall be indefeasibly Paid in Full in cash and completely satisfied and the Total Commitment is terminated in accordance with the DIP Loan Agreement as part of such action, or the Agents and Lenders expressly consent in writing to any such transaction or the entry of such an order by the Court or such transaction is expressly permitted in the DIP Loan Documents; provided that, nothing in this Interim Order shall prohibit the Debtors from seeking the entry of any order authorizing and approving the sale of the assets comprising the Debtors’ wood products business and pulp business as contemplated by the DIP Loan Agreement.
(b) Prior to an Acceleration Date or the Final Maturity Date, no motion shall be filed by the Debtors for, and no order dismissing or converting these Chapter 11 Cases under Section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code or appointing a chapter 11 trustee or an examiner with expanded powers shall be entered by the Court, unless and until the DIP Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and completely satisfied and the Total Commitment is terminated in accordance with the DIP Loan Agreement. If an order dismissing any of these cases under sections 305 or 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise is at any time entered, such order shall provide that (x) the liens, security interests, and Superpriority Claims granted to the Agents and Lenders hereunder and in the DIP Loan Documents, as the case may be, shall continue in full force and effect, shall remain binding on all parties-in-interest and shall maintain their priorities as provided in this Interim Order until all DIP Obligations shall have been
38

45. THIS COURT ORDERS that each of the Charges shall constitute a charge on the Property and the Charges shall rank in priority to all other security interests, trusts, liens, charges and encumbrances, statutory or otherwise (collectively, “Encumbrances”) in favour of any Person save and except validly perfected Permitted Priority Liens as provided in the DIP Credit Agreement. The security granted by the Definitive Documents charging the Property shall have the same priority as the DIP Lenders’ Charge granted herein.

22

(a) | neither the creation of the Charges nor the execution, delivery, perfection, registration or performance of the DIP Credit Agreement or the Definitive Documents shall create or be deemed to constitute a breach by the Petitioners of any Agreement to which they are a party; |
(b) | none of the Chargees shall have any liability to any Person whatsoever as a result of any breach of any Agreement caused by or resulting from the Petitioners entering into the DIP Credit Agreement, the creation of the Charges, or the execution, delivery or performance of the Definitive Documents; and |
(c) | the payments made by the Petitioners pursuant to this Order, the DIP Credit Agreement or the Definitive Documents, and the granting of the Charges, do not and will not constitute fraudulent preferences, fraudulent conveyances, oppressive conduct, settlements or other challengeable, voidable or reviewable transactions under any applicable law. |
48. THIS COURT ORDERS that in the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the Definitive Documents and of this Order, the provisions of this Order shall control and govern.
