Ladies and Gentlemen:

FIRSTSERVICE CORPORATION, a company incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada (or any successor thereto that shall have become such in the manner prescribed in Section 10.2, the “Company”), and FIRSTSERVICE DELAWARE, LP, a limited partnership organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (or any successor thereto that shall have become such in the manner prescribed in Section 10.2, the “Guarantor” and, together with the Company, the “Obligors”), agree with each of the Purchasers as follows:

1.	AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

The Company will authorize the issue and sale of U.S.$150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.84% Guaranteed Senior Secured Notes due January 16, 2025 (including any amendments, restatement or modifications from time to time, the “Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution therefor or replacement thereof pursuant to Section 15). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1, with such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved by each Purchaser and the Company. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement; and references to a “Section” are, unless otherwise specified, references to a Section of this Agreement. The Notes will be secured by the Collateral, all as provided in the Security Documents.

Payment of the principal of, and Make-Whole Amount (if any) and interest on, the Notes and other amounts owing hereunder shall be unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor as provided in Section 14 (and each Note will have the guarantee (each, a “Guarantee” and, collectively, the “Guarantees”) of the Guarantor endorsed thereon in the form set out in Exhibit 1-A).

2.	SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount specified below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

CLOSING.

The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx LLP, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on January 16, 2013, or on such other Business Day thereafter as may be agreed upon by the Obligors and the Purchasers. At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note (or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least U.S.$100,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of such Purchaser’s nominee), with the Guarantee of the Guarantor endorsed thereon, against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Company to account number 0000000, Transit # 1104, SWIFT Code XXXXXXXXXXX (Intermediary Bank - Bank of America, New York, NY; ABA #000000000; SWIFT Code XXXXXX0XXXX).

The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally represent and warrant to each Purchaser that:

5.1. Organization; Power and Authority.

Each Obligor is a corporation or limited partnership (as applicable) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or partnership (as applicable) and, if applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Obligor has the corporate or partnership (as applicable) power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact as described in the Disclosure Documents, to execute and deliver (a) this Agreement, the Notes and each other Financing Document to which the Company is a party (in the case of the Company) and (b) this Agreement, the Guarantees and each other Financing

Document to which the Guarantor is a party (in the case of the Guarantor), and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof.

5.2. Authorization, etc.

This Agreement, the Notes and each other Financing Document to which the Company is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement and the Security Documents constitute, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note and each other Financing Document to which the Company is a party will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, and this Agreement, the Guarantees and each other Financing Document to which the Guarantor is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership action on the part of the Guarantor, and this Agreement and the Security Documents constitute and, upon execution and delivery thereof, each Guarantee and each other Financing Document to which the Guarantor is a party will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except, in each case, as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

5.3. Disclosure.

The Obligors have delivered to each Purchaser a copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 40-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Annual Report”) as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Annual Report fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.3, this Agreement, the other Financing Documents, the Annual Report, the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Obligors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5, in each case, delivered to the Purchasers prior to the date of the Closing (this Agreement, the Annual Report and such documents, certificates and other writings and such financial statements being referred to collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents or as expressly described in Schedule 5.3, or in one of the documents, certificates or other writings identified therein, or in the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5, since December 31, 2011, there has been no change, and there is no fact known to either Obligor that could reasonably be expected to result in a change, in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of either Obligor or any Subsidiary except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.

5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates.

(a) Schedule 5.4(a) contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists (i) of the Company’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary and whether such Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Undertaking Subsidiary as of the date of the Closing and (ii) of the Company’s Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.4(b) sets forth the corporate structure of the Company as of the date hereof. Schedule 5.4(c) sets forth the Company’s directors and senior officers as of the date hereof. As of the date of the Closing, Xxx Xxxxxxx owns, directly or indirectly, more voting shares of the Company than any other shareholder or group of related or affiliated shareholders of the Company.

The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided in Section 8.5, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes (in the case of a partial prepayment, such prepayment shall be in an amount not less than U.S.$5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall then be outstanding) and then only in increments of U.S.$100,000), at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus all interest accrued thereon through such prepayment date, plus the applicable Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount.

8.3. Prepayment in Connection with a Payment under Section 13.

(a) Subject to Subsection (b) below, if, as a result of the occurrence of any Tax Event, the Company or the Guarantor (assuming that the Guarantor is required to make a payment) on any date shall have (i) made a payment under Section 13 with respect to any Note or the Guarantee in respect thereof or become obligated to make a payment under Section 13 with respect to any Note or the Guarantee in respect thereof on the next date on which a payment of interest is scheduled to be made (such payment in either case being in excess of the amount that such Obligor would have been required to pay but for the occurrence of such Tax Event) (in either case, any such Note being herein referred to as an “Affected Note”) and (ii) furnished to each holder of any Affected Note a notice from a Responsible Officer of such Obligor setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Tax Event and an explanation of the basis on which such Obligor is then so obligated to make payment under Section 13, the Company may, upon notice given as provided in Section 8.5, prepay the Affected Notes in whole (and not in part) on the date specified in such notice at a price equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Notes, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for such prepayment, plus the applicable Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount.

(i) no such waiver (A) shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any right to receive a payment in full under Section 13 in respect of any other Tax Event that shall have given rise to the Company’s prepayment right under this Section 8.3 or (B) preclude the Company from exercising any such right of prepayment in respect of such other Tax Event; and

(ii) if on any date the amount of any payment that a holder of a Note would be entitled to receive under Section 13 shall increase (in proportion to the total amount in respect of which the amount payable under Section 13 is determined),

(A)

the occurrence of any such increase shall be deemed to be a new Tax Event giving rise to a prepayment right under this Section 8.3, and

(B)

such holder thereafter shall be entitled to receive the full amount of any future payment provided under Section 13, notwithstanding any waiver previously delivered pursuant to this Section 8.3 unless such holder shall have delivered a notice under Section 8.3(b) in respect of any such prepayment.

In addition, no prepayment of any Note shall be permitted pursuant to Section 8.3(a) if the underlying Tax payment under Section 13 arises as a result of the failure of the Company to respond to any request specified in Section 13(a)(iv) or any other act or omission by either Obligor.

8.4. Offer to Prepay upon Certain Events.

(a) Offer to Prepay upon the Sale of Certain Assets.

If the Disposition Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such notice, the Disposition Prepayment Date shall be the forty-fifth (45th) day after the date of such notice.

(ii) Acceptance and Payment. To accept such Disposition Prepayment Offer, a holder of Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than twenty (20) days after the date of such written notice from the Company, provided, that failure to accept such offer in writing within twenty (20) days after the date of such written notice shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of the Disposition Prepayment Offer. If so accepted by any holder of a Note, such offered prepayment (equal to not less than such holder’s Ratable Portion of the Net Proceeds from the

relevant Disposition) shall be due and payable on the Disposition Prepayment Date. Within two (2) Business Days after the end of such twenty (20) day period, the Company shall offer, in writing, to each holder of Notes that shall have accepted its offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.4(a)(ii), to prepay on the specified Disposition Prepayment Date an additional portion of such holder’s Notes in a principal amount equal to its ratable share (based upon the ratio of the outstanding principal amount of Notes held by such holder at such time to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes held at such time by all holders which have also accepted their respective offers to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.4(a)(ii)) of the aggregate amount offered to holders of Notes that have rejected, or been deemed to have rejected, the Disposition Prepayment Offer (a “Secondary Disposition Prepayment Offer”); provided that such holder may specify that it will accept prepayment of a greater portion of its Notes, should any of the Secondary Disposition Prepayment Offers be rejected, in which event the Company will allocate the aggregate amount of Secondary Disposition Prepayment Offers so rejected among the holders so specifying ratably in accordance with the respective additional amounts so specified. To accept any Secondary Disposition Prepayment Offer under this Section 8.4(a)(ii), a holder of Notes shall cause a written notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than the earlier of the Disposition Prepayment Date or ten (10) days after the date of receipt by such holder of such Secondary Disposition Prepayment Offer (it being understood that the failure by a holder to accept such Secondary Disposition Prepayment Offer as provided herein prior to the earlier of such dates shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of said offer). The aggregate prepayment to be made pursuant to this Section 8.4(a)(ii) (including, without limitation, the amount to be prepaid as the result of acceptances of Secondary Disposition Prepayment Offers) shall be made at one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid, together with interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Disposition Prepayment Date, but without the Make-Whole Amount.

(i) Notice of Change in Control. The Company will, within five Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of a Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes unless written notice of such Change in Control shall have been given pursuant to Section 8.4(b)(ii) (a “Change of Control Prepayment Notice”). If a Change in Control has occurred, such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in Section 8.4(b)(ii) (and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 8.4(b)(v)).

(ii) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Section 8.4(b)(i) shall be an offer to prepay (a “Change of Control Prepayment Offer”), in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.4(b), all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date (which shall be a Business Day) specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”). Such date shall be not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of such offer (or if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day that falls on or next following the forty-fifth (45th) day after the date of such offer).

(iii) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company at least 10 days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date.

(iv) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment, but, in any case, without any Make-Whole Amount.

8.5. Notices, Etc.

The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under Section 8.2 and each holder of any Affected Note written notice of each prepayment under Section 8.3, in each case not less than ten days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment, unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 19. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes or Affected Notes, as the case may be, to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note or Affected Note, as the case may be, held by such holder to be prepaid, and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated applicable Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment) and setting forth the details of such computation, and two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes or Affected Notes, as the case may be, a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

8.6. Allocation of Partial Prepayments.

In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

8.7. Maturity; Surrender, etc.

In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and canceled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

8.8. Purchase of Notes.

Neither Obligor will, nor will either Obligor permit any Affiliate to, purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by either Obligor or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

8.9. Make-Whole Amount.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x)(i) if such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.3, 1.00% or (ii) if such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x)(i) if such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.3, 1.00% or (ii) if such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

9.	AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

Each Obligor jointly and severally covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

9.1. Compliance with Laws.

The Obligors will and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.2. Insurance.

The Obligors will and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

9.3. Maintenance of Properties.

The Obligors will and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not prevent either Obligor or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims.

The Obligors will and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all Taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other Taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of either Obligor or any Subsidiary, provided that neither of the Obligors nor any Subsidiary need pay any such Tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is

contested by such Obligor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and such Obligor or such Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with U.S. GAAP on the books of such Obligor or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.5. Corporate Existence, etc.

Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.9, the Obligors will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect their respective corporate or partnership existences (as applicable), and the Obligors will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of each of their Subsidiaries and all rights and franchises of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of any Subsidiary (other than the Company), or any such right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.6. Ranking.

Each Obligor will ensure that, at all times, all liabilities of such Obligor under the Notes (in the case of the Company) and the Guarantees (in the case of the Guarantor) will rank in right of payment either pari passu with or senior to all other Permitted Senior Secured Indebtedness of such Obligor.

9.7. Subsidiary Guarantors; Undertakings to Secure.

(a) So long as the Banks have not released all of the Bank Security but subject to Section 9.8, the Obligors will ensure that each Person which after the date of the Closing becomes (i) a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, is or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor and grants and delivers the other applicable Direct Security in favor of the Secured Parties or (ii) a Non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, is or becomes an Undertaking Subsidiary, in each case, as soon as possible and in any event within 10 Business Days following the date on which such Person becomes a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary or Non Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (as applicable); provided that Section 9.7(a)(i) shall not apply to any Excluded Subsidiary or Unrestricted Entity that has not granted and delivered Direct Security in favor of the Banks, the 2003 Notes or the 2005 Notes; and provided further that Section 9.7(a)(ii) shall not apply to any Unrestricted Entity or Immaterial Subsidiary that has not become an Undertaking Subsidiary.

(b) [Intentionally omitted.]

9.8. Further Assurances; Release of Collateral, Subsidiary Guarantees, etc.

(a) Subject to Section 9.8(b), the Obligors shall take, or cause to be taken, all action required or desirable to maintain good and valid title to the Collateral and shall maintain and preserve the Liens created by the Security Documents and the superiority of the priority thereof to all Liens other than the Liens arising in connection with the Credit Agreement, the 2003 Note Agreement, the 2005 Note Agreement and any other Permitted Liens.

(b) At any time on or after the release by the Banks of all or any part of the Bank Security or upon any indulgence, waiver or other accommodation by the Banks under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Bank Security and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, at the request of the Company the holders of Notes shall, as the case may be, (i) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee if such Subsidiary Guarantor is being simultaneously released from all of its Guaranty obligations in respect of the Credit Agreement, (ii) authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to release all or any such part (as the case may be) of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents at such time if such Collateral is being simultaneously released from the Bank Security or (iii) provide any such indulgence, waiver or other accommodation, in each case, as the Banks may provide under the Credit Agreement in respect of the Bank Security; provided that the 2003 Noteholders and the 2005 Noteholders are similarly obligated under, or otherwise agree pursuant to, the terms of the 2003 Note Agreement and the 2005 Note Agreement, as applicable, to release such Subsidiary Guarantors and such Collateral, or to indulge, waive or otherwise accommodate the Company under the applicable Note Agreement with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantee, such Undertakings to Secure or such Collateral.

(c) (i) Upon a request by the Company to release Collateral, as contemplated by Section 9.8(b)(ii), the holders of Notes shall instruct the Collateral Agent to (x) release the Lien on such Collateral, (y) surrender to the Company all documents by which perfection of the Liens of such holders and of the Collateral Agent on and in such Collateral were perfected by possession, and (z) register such Personal Property Security Act (Ontario), Uniform Commercial Code and other personal property security discharge statements with respect to the Liens of such holders and of the Collateral Agent on and in such Collateral as the Company may reasonably request, in each case, at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not thereafter grant any Lien on the property comprising such Collateral to secure any amount owing to the Banks under the Credit Agreement unless simultaneously therewith (I) the Company or such Subsidiary grants an equal and ratable Lien on such property to secure all amounts owing hereunder or in respect of the Notes, (II) the Intercreditor Agreement shall be in full force and effect and shall apply to all Liens securing amounts owing hereunder, under the Notes and under the Credit Agreement and (III) the Company or such Subsidiary delivers to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel, certificates, accompanying authorizing resolutions and corporate or similar documents as the Required Holders and the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, each of such opinions, resolutions and similar documents to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and the Collateral Agent. The property subject to any such subsequently granted Lien shall constitute Collateral and shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.8 to the same extent as if it were Collateral existing immediately after the Closing.

(ii) If the holders of the Notes have released a Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, as contemplated by Section 9.8(b)(i), the Company shall not thereafter permit such Subsidiary to Guaranty any obligations owing under the Credit Agreement, or otherwise become obligated with respect thereto, unless, simultaneously therewith, such Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder by executing a Subsidiary Guarantee and (A) the Intercreditor Agreement shall be in full force and effect and shall apply to all Subsidiary Guarantees and all Guaranties of Subsidiaries in respect of any obligations owing under the Credit Agreement and (B) such Subsidiary delivers to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel, certificates,

accompanying authorizing resolutions and corporate or similar documents as the Required Holders and the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, each of such opinions, resolutions and similar documents to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and the Collateral Agent.

(iii) If the holders of the Notes have provided any indulgence, waiver or other accommodation, as contemplated by Section 9.8(b)(iii), the Company shall not thereafter permit such indulgence, waiver or other accommodation granted by the Banks to be modified in a manner favorable to the Banks unless the indulgence, waiver or other accommodation granted by the holders of Notes shall be similarly and simultaneously modified.

(d) At any time on or after the release by the Banks of an undertaking to secure in respect of the Credit Agreement that was given to the Banks by any Subsidiary, at the request of the Company the holders of Notes shall release such Subsidiary from its Undertaking to Secure given to such holders hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall not thereafter permit such Subsidiary to give to the Banks any such undertaking to secure unless such Subsidiary simultaneously gives an Undertaking to Secure to the holders of Notes.

9.9. Most Favored Lender.

If at any time either (a) any of the terms (including, without limitation, defaults and events of default), conditions, security and/or covenants applicable to the Credit Agreement or either Note Agreement are amended, or (b) any Material Credit Facility entered into after the date hereof contains any terms (including, without limitation, defaults and events of default), conditions, security and/or covenants, in each case such that the holders of the 2003 Notes or 2005 Notes, or the lenders under the Credit Agreement or any such Material Credit Facility, benefit from terms (each such term, a “Most Favored Provision”) that are more favorable to such holders or lenders than those provided for hereunder or under the Direct Security, then each such Most Favored Provision shall be deemed to be automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully therein and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without any further action on the part of any of the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Person being required. Any Most Favored Provision so incorporated herein may not thereafter be modified or waived without the written consent of the Required Holders. In addition, the Obligors shall provide prompt written notice of the existence of any Most Favored Provision to each holder of a Note, and the Obligors agree promptly to enter into such documentation as the Required Holders may request to evidence the amendments provided for in this Section.

9.10. Excluded Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Obligor will ensure that (a) none of the Excluded Subsidiaries will have any significant assets or carry on any active business whatsoever, and (b) no intercompany loans will be made to any Excluded Subsidiaries and no assets will be conveyed to any such Subsidiaries.

9.11. Post-Closing Obligations.

The Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, deliver to the Purchasers, or undertake the efforts (and deliver to the Purchasers evidence thereof), as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchasers (unless the Required Holders shall otherwise agree in their sole discretion), the documents and/or efforts set forth in Schedule 9.11 hereto, as soon as possible, but in any event within the period of time specified in Schedule 9.11 (or such longer period of time as may be agreed to by the Required Holders in their sole discretion).

10.	NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

Each Obligor jointly and severally covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

10.1. Transactions with Affiliates.

The Obligors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into directly or indirectly any transaction or group of related transactions (including without limitation the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than the Company or another Subsidiary), except in the ordinary course and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

10.2. Merger, Consolidation, etc.

Neither Obligor will, and neither Obligor will permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, enter into any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, reorganization, reconstruction or arrangement or, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.2, liquidate, wind-up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution) or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of transactions to any Person unless:

(a) in the case of the Obligors, the successor formed by such consolidation, amalgamation, reorganization, reconstruction or arrangement or the survivor of such merger or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Guarantor (the “Obligor Successor”), shall be a solvent corporation organized and existing under the laws of Canada or any Province thereof, or the United States of America or any State thereof (including the District of Columbia), and, if the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, is not the Obligor Successor, (i) the Obligor Successor shall have executed and delivered to each holder of any Notes its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of (x) this Agreement, the Notes and the other Financing Documents to which the Company is a party, in the case of the Company and (y) this Agreement, the Guarantees and the other Financing Documents to which the Guarantor is a party, in the case of the Guarantor, (ii) in the case of any transaction contemplated by this subsection (a) involving the Company, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to each holder of Notes its confirmation of its duties and obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee to which it is a party after giving effect to such transaction, and (iii) the

Obligor Successor shall have caused to be delivered to each holder of any Notes an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel in the appropriate jurisdiction, or other independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, to the effect that all agreements or instruments effecting such assumption are enforceable in accordance with their terms and comply with the terms hereof; and

(b) in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the Guarantor), the successor formed by any such consolidation, amalgamation, reorganization, reconstruction or arrangement or the survivor of such merger or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (the “Guarantor Successor”), shall be (1) either an Obligor, such Subsidiary Guarantor or another Subsidiary Guarantor, (2) a solvent corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Canada or any Province thereof, the United States of America or any State thereof (including the District of Columbia) or the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and (i) such Guarantor Successor shall have executed and delivered to each holder of any Notes its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of the relevant Subsidiary Guarantee and (ii) the Obligors shall have caused to be delivered to each holder of any Notes an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel in the appropriate jurisdiction, or other independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, to the effect that all agreements or instruments effecting such assumption are enforceable in accordance with their terms and comply with the terms hereof or (3) any other Person so long as the transfer of all of the assets of such Subsidiary would have otherwise been permitted by Section 10.9 and such transaction is treated as a Disposition of all of the assets of such Subsidiary for purposes of Section 10.9; and

(c) in the case of any such transaction, (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Obligors shall have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Required Holders that all actions necessary to preserve and maintain the Lien of the Security Documents and the Lien arising in connection with the Credit Agreement, the 2003 Note Agreement and the 2005 Note Agreement in each case on the Collateral have been taken.

No such conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of either Obligor shall have the effect of releasing such Obligor or any successor corporation that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 10.2 from its liability under (x) this Agreement, the Notes or the other Financing Documents to which the Company is a party, in the case of the Company or (y) this Agreement, the Guarantees or the other Financing Documents to which the Guarantor is a party, in the case of the Guarantor. The Obligors may cause or permit any Subsidiary to liquidate, wind-up or dissolve (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution) if, in the good faith judgment of the Company, such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

10.3. Liens.

(ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness secured by any such Lien shall at no time exceed an amount equal to 100% of the lesser of (A) the cost to the Company or such Subsidiary of the property (or improvement thereon) so acquired or constructed and (B) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company) of such property (or improvement thereon) at the time of such acquisition or construction, and

Any Disposition of shares of stock of any Subsidiary shall, for purposes of this Section, be valued at an amount that bears the same proportion to the total assets of such Subsidiary as the number of such shares bears to the total number of shares of stock of such Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Dispositions shall not be taken into account under this Section 10.9:

(a) any Disposition pursuant to a transaction consummated in accordance with Section 10.2;

12.	REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

12.1. Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to an Obligor described in paragraph (f), (g) or (h) of Section 11 (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of paragraph (f) or described in clause (vi) of paragraph (f) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of paragraph (f)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 11 has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the applicable Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Obligors acknowledge, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Obligors (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

12.2. Other Remedies.

If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or in any other Financing Document, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

12.3. Rescission.

At any time prior to the date which is 90 days after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Obligors have paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 19, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission

and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, etc.

No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred on any holder of a Note by this Agreement, any Note or any other Financing Document shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Obligors under Section 17, the Obligors will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

13.	TAX INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) Any and all payments under this Agreement, the Notes or the Guarantees to or for the account of any holder of a Note shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Tax, except to the extent such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any Tax is required by law to be deducted or withheld from any such payments by the Guarantor or the Company, the Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, will make such deductions or withholding and pay to the relevant taxing authority the full amount deducted or withheld (including, without limitation, the full amount of any additional Tax required to be deducted or withheld from or otherwise paid in respect of any payment made to any holder pursuant to this Subsection (a) as provided below) before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon. In the event of the imposition by or for the account of any Applicable Taxing Authority or of any Governmental Authority of any jurisdiction in which either Obligor resides for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which either Obligor is making any payment in respect of any Note or any Guarantee, other than any Governmental Authority of or in the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof or therein, of any Tax (“Indemnifiable Tax”) upon or with respect to any payments in respect of any Note or any Guarantee, whether by withholding or otherwise, the Obligor making such payment hereby agrees to pay forthwith from time to time in connection with each payment on the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case may be, to each holder of a Note such additional amounts as shall be required so that every payment received by such holder in respect of the Notes and the Guarantees and every payment received by such holder under this Agreement will not, after such withholding or deduction or other payment for or on account of such Tax (including, without limitation, the full amount of any additional Indemnifiable Tax required to be deducted or withheld from or otherwise paid in respect of any additional amount paid to such holder pursuant to this Subsection (a)) and any interest or penalties relating thereto, be less than the amount due and payable to such holder in respect of such Note or Guarantee or under this Agreement before the assessment of such Indemnifiable Tax. In addition, the Obligors shall indemnify each holder of Notes for the full amount of Indemnifiable Taxes paid or required to be paid by such holder on amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes or the Guarantees and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom, together with such amounts as will

result in such holder of Notes receiving the amount that would otherwise have been received by it in the absence of such Indemnifiable Taxes and the indemnification provided for herein. Except where either Obligor, as the case may be, is required to deduct or withhold any Indemnifiable Tax, each holder of Notes, upon becoming aware of its liability (or potential liability) for any Indemnifiable Taxes, shall promptly notify the Obligors of such liability (or potential liability) for such Indemnifiable Taxes for which the Obligors are required to indemnify such holder pursuant to this Subsection (a) and of the amount payable to it by the Obligors pursuant hereto, and the Obligors shall jointly and severally pay such amounts either (x) directly to the Applicable Taxing Authority or other relevant Governmental Authority that imposed such Indemnifiable Taxes, as the case may be, on or before the date such Indemnifiable Taxes are due or (y) if such holder of Notes has already paid such Indemnifiable Taxes, to such holder of Notes within 10 days of the receipt of such notice (and, if such Indemnifiable Taxes are not paid on or before the date specified in clause (x) or within the period specified in clause (y), as the case may be, shall bear interest at the Default Rate thereafter). Such holder of Notes shall determine the amount payable to it, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and such holder shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection with such determination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Subsection (a) to the contrary, neither Obligor shall be obliged to pay such amounts to any holder of a Note in respect of Indemnifiable Taxes to the extent Indemnifiable Taxes exceed the Indemnifiable Taxes that would have been payable:

(i) had such holder not been a resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or not used or held such Note in the course of carrying on a business in Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada); or

(ii) had such holder not had any connection with Canada or any territory or political subdivision thereof other than the mere holding of a Note with the benefit of a Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantees (or the receipt of any payments in respect thereof) or activities incidental thereto (including enforcement thereof); or

(iii) had such holder not dealt with the Company on a non-arm’s length basis (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) in connection with any such payment; or

(iv) but for the delay or failure by such holder (following a written request by an Obligor) in the filing with an appropriate Governmental Authority or otherwise of forms, certificates, documents, applications or other reasonably required evidence (collectively “Forms”), that are required to be filed by such holder to avoid or reduce such Taxes (so long as such Forms do not impose, in such holder’s reasonable determination, an unreasonable burden in time, resources or otherwise on such holder) and that in the case of any of the foregoing would not result in any confidential or proprietary income tax return information being revealed, either directly or indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have been lawfully avoided by such holder, provided that such holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this clause (iv) upon the good faith completion and submission of such Forms as may be specified in a written request of an Obligor no later than 45 days after receipt by such holder of such written request (provided, that if such Forms are Forms required pursuant

to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof, such written request shall be accompanied by such Forms in English or with an English translation thereof).

(b) Within 60 days after the date of any payment by either Obligor of any Tax pursuant to Subsection (a) in respect of any payment under the Notes, the Guarantees or this Section 13, such Obligor shall furnish to each holder of a Note the original tax receipt for the payment of such Tax (or if such original tax receipt is not available, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt), together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any holder of a Note. If an Obligor shall have determined, with respect to any holder of Notes, that a deduction or withholding of Tax is required to be made with respect to such holder and that no amounts are required to be paid to such holder under Subsection (a) of this Section 13 as the result of an exemption therefrom as provided in Subsection (a), such Obligor shall promptly inform such holder, in writing, of the imposition or withholding of such Tax and of the applicable exemption set forth in Subsection (a) that the Obligor claims releases such Obligor from the obligation to pay any such amount otherwise payable under Subsection (a).

(d) If an Obligor has made a payment to or on account of any holder of a Note pursuant to Subsection (a) above and such holder is entitled to a refund of the Tax to which such payment is attributable from the Governmental Authority to which the payment of the Tax was made and such refund is readily determinable by such holder (such amount to be no greater than an amount that, if paid to such Obligor by such holder, would leave such holder in no worse position than would have existed had such Tax not been required by law to be paid) and can be obtained by filing one or more Forms (so long as such Forms do not impose, in such holder’s reasonable determination, an unreasonable burden in time, resources or otherwise on such holder), then (i) such holder shall, as soon as practicable after receiving a written request therefor from an Obligor (which request shall specify in reasonable detail the Forms to be filed), file such Forms and (ii) upon receipt of such refund, if any, promptly pay over such refund to such Obligor without interest. This Subsection (d) shall not require any holder of Notes: (x) to account for any indirect taxation benefits arising from the deducting or withholding of any Tax, (y) to disclose any confidential or proprietary information, or (z) to arrange its tax or financial affairs in any particular manner.

14.	GUARANTEE, ETC.

14.1. Guarantee.

The Guarantor hereby guarantees to each holder of any Note or Notes at any time outstanding and to the Collateral Agent (a) the prompt payment in full, in U.S. Dollars, when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory or optional prepayment or otherwise) of the principal of and Make-Whole Amount (if any) and interest on the Notes (including, without limitation, interest on any overdue principal, Make-Whole Amount and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on any overdue interest and on payment of additional amounts

described in Section 13) and all other amounts from time to time owing by the Company under this Agreement and under the Notes (including, without limitation, costs, expenses and taxes), and (b) the prompt performance and observance by the Company of all covenants, agreements and conditions on its part to be performed and observed hereunder, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof including all of such obligations which would become due but for the commencement of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or any reorganization or receivership of the Company (such payments and other obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor hereby further agrees that if the Company shall default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor will (x) promptly pay or perform the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory or optional prepayment or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal and (y) pay to the holder of any Note such amounts, to the extent lawful, as shall be sufficient to pay the costs and expenses of collection or of otherwise enforcing any of such holder’s rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees.

All obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 14 shall survive the transfer of any Note, and any obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 14 with respect to which the underlying obligation of the Company is expressly stated to survive payment of any Note shall also survive payment of such Note.

14.2. Obligations Unconditional.

(a) The obligations of the Guarantor under Section 14.1 constitute a present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not merely collectibility and are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 14.2 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i) any amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any of the Notes or any assignment or transfer thereof, including without limitation the renewal or extension of the time of payment of any of the Notes or the granting of time in respect of such payment thereof, or of any furnishing or acceptance of security or any additional guarantee or any release of any security or guarantee so furnished or accepted for any of the Notes (including any release of Collateral pursuant to Section 9.8(b));

(ii) any waiver, consent, extension, granting of time, forbearance, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of this Agreement or the Notes, or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy or power in respect hereof or thereof;

(iii) any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceedings with respect to the Company or any other Person or the properties or creditors of any of them;

(iv) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under, or any invalidity or any unenforceability of, or any misrepresentation, irregularity or other defect in, this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement;

(v) any transfer of any assets to or from the Company, including without limitation any transfer or purported transfer to the Company from any Person, any invalidity, illegality of, or inability to enforce, any such transfer or purported transfer, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any Person, any change in the ownership of any shares of capital stock of the Company, or any change whatsoever in the objects, capital structure, constitution or business of the Company;

(vi) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, on the part of the Company or any other Person to perform or comply with, or the impossibility or illegality of performance by the Company or any other Person of, any term of this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement;

(vii) any suit or other action brought by, or any judgment in favor of, any beneficiaries or creditors of, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation any suit or action in any way attacking or involving any issue, matter or thing in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement;

(viii) any lack or limitation of status or of power, incapacity or disability of the Company or any trustee or agent thereof; or

(ix) any other thing, event, happening, matter, circumstance or condition whatsoever, not in any way limited to the foregoing.

(b) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever and any requirement that any holder of a Note exhaust any right, power or remedy against the Company under this Agreement or the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) In the event that the Guarantor shall at any time pay any amount on account of the Guaranteed Obligations or take any other action in performance of its obligations hereunder, the Guarantor shall not exercise any subrogation or other rights hereunder or under the Notes and the Guarantor hereby waives all rights it may have to exercise any such subrogation or other rights, and all other remedies that it may have against the Company, in respect of any payment made hereunder unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights or other

remedy, notwithstanding the waiver thereof, such amount shall be received in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and shall forthwith be paid to such holders to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. The Guarantor agrees that its obligations under this Section 14 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment (including payment in full) by or on behalf of the Company is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of a Note, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid.

The guarantee in this Section 14 is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. Each default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate claim and cause of action hereunder, and separate claims or suits may be made and brought, as the case may be, hereunder as each such default occurs.

If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall at any time have occurred and be continuing, and such acceleration (and the effect thereof on the Guaranteed Obligations) shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency against the Company or any other Person of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, the Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of its obligations under this Section 14, the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to have been accelerated (with a corresponding effect on the Guaranteed Obligations) with the same effect as if the holders had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Guarantor shall forthwith pay such principal amount, any interest thereon, any Make-Whole Amount, and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder without further notice or demand.

14.3. Guarantees Endorsed on the Notes.

Each Note shall have endorsed thereon a Guarantee of the Guarantor in the form of Exhibit 1-A.

15.	REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

15.1. Registration of Notes.

The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register (it being understood that the Company shall have no obligation to verify such names and addresses and shall only record in the register information it receives from the holders). If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such register as an owner and holder thereof and (b) at any such beneficial owner’s option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person(s) in whose name any Note(s) shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and neither Obligor shall be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company

shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

15.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

Upon surrender of any Note at the principal executive office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 and shall have the Guarantee of the Guarantor endorsed thereon. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than U.S.$100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than U.S.$100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.2 and to have become a party to the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

15.3. Replacement of Notes.

Upon receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 20) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least U.S.$10,000,000 in excess of the outstanding principal amount of such Note or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon, and having the Guarantee of the Guarantor endorsed thereon.

16.	PAYMENTS ON NOTES.

16.1. Place of Payment.

Subject to Section 16.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the principal office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in such jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in New York, New York.

16.2. Home Office Payment.

So long as any Purchaser or any nominee of such Purchaser shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 16.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest, and any other amounts which may become owing under this Agreement or the Notes, by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 16.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by any Purchaser or any nominee of such Purchaser, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 15.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 16.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by any Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 16.2.

17.	EXPENSES, ETC.

17.1. Transaction Expenses.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Obligors will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special Canadian counsel and a special U.S. counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers, each other holder of a Note and the Collateral Agent in connection with such transactions, with the perfection of the Liens in and on the Collateral contemplated by the Security Documents and with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Financing Documents (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective) within 15 Business Days after any Obligor’s receipt of any invoice therefor, including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or

defend) any rights under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Financing Documents or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, the Notes or the other Financing Documents, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, and all reasonable expenses incurred by each holder of a Note and the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the preservation of any Lien or realization on or pursuit of remedies with respect to any Collateral following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, (b) the costs and expenses, including reasonable financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of either Obligor or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Financing Documents, and (c) the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the initial filing of this Agreement and all related documents and financial information with the SVO provided, that such costs and expenses under this clause (c) shall not exceed $3,500. The Obligors will pay, and will save each Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, (i) all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by such Purchaser or other holder in connection with the purchase of the Notes), and (ii) any and all wire transfer fees that any bank deducts from any payment under such Note to such holder or otherwise charges to a holder of a Note with respect to a payment under such Note.

17.2. Taxes.

The Obligors will pay all stamp, documentary or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Financing Documents or of any amendment of, or waiver or consent under or with respect to, this Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Financing Documents and will save each holder of a Note harmless against any loss or liability resulting from nonpayment or delay in payment of any such tax required to be paid by the Company or the Guarantor hereunder.

17.3. Survival.

The obligations of the Obligors under this Section 17 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Financing Documents, and the termination of this Agreement.

18.	SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Financing Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Financing Documents, and the purchase or transfer by each Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and until all amounts which may be or become payable by either Obligor or any Subsidiary Guarantor under or in connection with this Agreement, the Notes or any other Financing Documents have been irrevocably paid in full. All such representations and warranties may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of either Obligor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall be

deemed representations and warranties of such Obligor under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and the other Financing Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Purchasers and the Obligors and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

19.	AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

19.1. Requirements.

This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Obligors and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 23 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing, and (b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Purchaser and the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of (x) interest on the Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8 (except as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.5), 11(a), 11(b), 12, 13, 14, 19, 22 or 25.

19.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Obligors will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes or of any other Financing Document. The Obligors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 19 to each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. Neither Obligor will directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide credit support, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or any other Financing Document unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

19.3. Binding Effect, etc.

Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 19 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon

the Obligors without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between either Obligor and the holder of any Note or the Collateral Agent nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or under any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note or the Collateral Agent.

19.4. Notes held by Obligors, etc.

Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes or any other Financing Document, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein, in the Notes or in any other Financing Document to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by either Obligor or any Affiliate of either Obligor shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

20.

NOTICES.

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent by (a) electronic mail (e-mail), (b) telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (c) an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

(i) if to any Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address (or telefacsimile number or email address) specified for such communications in Schedule A, or at such other address (or telefacsimile number or email address) as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing,

(ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address (or telefacsimile number or email address) as such other holder shall have specified to the Company in writing,

Notices under this Section 20 will be deemed given only when actually received.

21.	REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

This Agreement, the other Financing Documents and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser and the Collateral Agent at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, may be reproduced by such Purchaser and the Collateral Agent by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital or other similar process and such Purchaser and the Collateral Agent may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Obligors agree and stipulate that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser or the Collateral Agent in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 21 shall not prohibit an Obligor or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

22.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 22, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of either Obligor or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Obligor or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by an Obligor or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) such Purchaser’s directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by such Purchaser’s Notes), (ii) such Purchaser’s auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree (for the benefit of the Company) to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 22, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which such Purchaser sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 22), (v) any Person from which such Purchaser offers to purchase any security of an Obligor (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 22), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority

having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, (viii) as permitted by Section 10.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement, or (ix) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) to the extent reasonably required of such Purchaser, in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or the other Financing Documents. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 22 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by an Obligor in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Obligors embodying the provisions of this Section 22.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to any Obligor or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 22, this Section 22 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Obligors, this Section 22 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

23.	SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 23), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 23), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

24.	JURISDICTION AND PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE COMPANY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE GUARANTEES, ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO EXECUTE OR OTHERWISE ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED AGAINST THE COMPANY OR THE GUARANTOR, AS THE CASE MAY BE, FOR BREACH HEREOF OR THEREOF, OR AGAINST ANY OF ITS PROPERTIES, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK BY ANY PURCHASER OR ON ANY PURCHASER’S BEHALF OR BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY HOLDER OF A NOTE, AS ANY PURCHASER OR SUCH HOLDER MAY ELECT, AND EACH OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR PURPOSES OF ANY SUCH LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS AND DESIGNATES CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY, WHOSE ADDRESS IS 0000 XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXXXX, XXXXX 000, XXX XXXX, XX 00000-0000, OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAVING AND MAINTAINING A PLACE OF BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK WHOM THE COMPANY MAY FROM TIME TO TIME HEREAFTER DESIGNATE (HAVING GIVEN 30 DAYS’ NOTICE THEREOF TO EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE THEN OUTSTANDING), AS THE DULY AUTHORIZED AGENT FOR ACCEPTANCE OF SERVICE OF LEGAL PROCESS OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE COMPANY. EACH OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE COMPANY HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY SERVING NOTICE UPON CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY OR ANY SUCH OTHER PERSON AND BY MAILING NOTICE OF SUCH SERVICE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 20 OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PURSUANT THERETO. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 24 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY HOLDER OF A NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, OR LIMIT ANY RIGHT THAT THE HOLDERS OF ANY OF THE NOTES MAY HAVE TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST AN OBLIGOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION OR TO ENFORCE IN ANY LAWFUL MANNER A JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN ONE JURISDICTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. IN ADDITION, EACH OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE GUARANTEES, ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. THE PARTIES HERETO

HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE GUARANTEES AND ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

25.	OBLIGATION TO MAKE PAYMENTS IN U.S. DOLLARS.

All payments made by the Obligors under this Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees or any other Financing Document, as the case may be, shall be in U.S. Dollars and the obligations of the Obligors to make payments in U.S. Dollars of any of their obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees or any other Financing Document shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any currency other than U.S. Dollars, except to the extent such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the holder of any Note of the full amount of U.S. Dollars expressed to be payable in respect of any such obligations. The obligation of the Obligors to make payments in U.S. Dollars as aforesaid shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovery in U.S. Dollars of the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of U.S. Dollars expressed to be payable in respect of any such obligations, and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under this Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees or any other Financing Document.

26.	MISCELLANEOUS.

26.1. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

26.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

Anything in this Agreement or the Notes or any other Financing Document to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.5 and Section 8.7 that the notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note (or any amount payable by the Obligors to any holder of the Notes pursuant to Section 13(a) hereof) that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

26.3. Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or

unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

26.4. Construction.

Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

26.5. Statement of Interest Rate.

For purposes of any legislation respecting the statement of interest rates, the yearly rate for a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be, that can be stated to be equivalent to the rate specified in the Notes as being “computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months” is the rate so specified, calculated and payable on a semi-annual basis; and the use of the term “360-day year of twelve 30-day months” is for matters of calculation of the semi-annual interest payments in respect of the Notes and does not alter the yearly rate described above.

26.6. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

26.7. Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.

26.8. Accounting Terms.

All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Company (for itself and/or its Subsidiaries) to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 000-00-00 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial

Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

26.9. Transaction References.

The Obligors agrees that each of New York Life Investment Management LLC, Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and Prudential Capital Group may (a) refer to its role in establishing this Agreement, as well as the identity of any Obligor and the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the date on which the Agreement was established, on its internet site or in marketing materials, press releases, published “tombstone” announcements or any other print or electronic medium, and (b) display the corporate logo of any Obligor in conjunction with any such reference.
