Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “U.S. Revolving Credit Loan”) in Dollars to the U.S. Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the Total Borrowing Base at such time, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans of any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender, plus such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all U.S. L/C Obligations shall not exceed such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment and (iii) the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the U.S. Borrowing Base. Within the limits of each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the U.S. Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a). U.S. Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

(b) Canadian Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Canadian Revolving Credit Loan”) in Dollars and Canadian Dollars to the Parent Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Canadian Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the Total Borrowing Base at such time, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans of any Canadian Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Canadian L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment and (iii) the Total Canadian Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (x)

the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the Canadian Borrowing Base. Within the limits of each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b). Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars may be Canadian Prime Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans and Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars may be Canadian Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, in each case, as further provided herein.

(c) U.S. Overadvances. If the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans, U.S. Swingline Loans and U.S. L/C Obligations exceed the U.S. Borrowing Base at any time, the excess amount (a “U.S. Overadvance”) shall be payable by U.S. Borrowers within one Business Day of a demand by the Administrative Agent, but all such excess U.S. Overadvances shall nevertheless constitute U.S. Finance Obligations secured by the U.S. Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Unless its authority has been revoked in writing by Required U.S. Lenders, the Administrative Agent may require the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders to honor requests for U.S. Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the U.S. Borrowers to cure a U.S. Overadvance, when no other Event of Default is known to the Administrative Agent to have occurred and be continuing, as long as (i) the U.S. Overadvance does not continue for more than 45 consecutive days (and no U.S. Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further U.S. Overadvance Loans are required), and (ii) the U.S. Overadvance is not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed, when taken together with all Canadian Overadvances and all Protective Advances, ten percent (10%) of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility. In no event shall the Administrative Agent require the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders to honor requests for additional U.S. Overadvance Loans that would cause the (A) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans of any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender, plus such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all U.S. L/C Obligations and U.S. Swingline Loans to exceed such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, or (B) the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings to exceed (x) the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility minus (y) the Availability Reserve to the extent attributable to the U.S. Loan Parties or the U.S. Collateral in the Administrative Agent’s Credit Judgment at such time. Any funding of a U.S. Overadvance Loan or sufferance of a U.S. Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section 2.01(c) nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

(d) Canadian Overadvances. If the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, Canadian Swingline Loans and Canadian L/C Obligations exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base at any time, the excess amount (a “Canadian Overadvance”) shall be payable by the Parent Borrower within one Business Day of a demand by the Administrative Agent, but all such excess Canadian Overadvances shall nevertheless constitute Canadian Finance Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Unless its authority has been revoked in writing by the Required Canadian Lenders, the Administrative Agent may require the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders to honor requests for Canadian Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the Parent Borrower to cure a Canadian Overadvance, when no other Event of Default is known to the Administrative Agent to have occurred and be continuing, as long as (i) the Canadian Overadvance does not continue for more than 45 consecutive days (and no Canadian Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Canadian Overadvance Loans are required), and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Overadvance is not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed, when taken together with all Canadian Protective Advances, three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility. In no event shall the Administrative Agent require the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders to honor requests for additional Canadian Overadvance Loans that would cause the (A) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans of any Canadian

Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Canadian L/C Obligations and Canadian Swingline Loans to exceed such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment, or (B) the Total Canadian Revolving Credit Outstandings to exceed (x) the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility minus (y) the Availability Reserve to the extent attributable to the Canadian Loan Parties or the Canadian Collateral in the Administrative Agent’s Credit Judgment at such time. Any funding of a Canadian Overadvance Loan or sufferance of a Canadian Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section 2.01(d) nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

(e) Protective Advances.

(i) Authorization for Protective Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrowers and each Revolving Credit Lender from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied, to make (x) U.S. Revolving Credit Loans not to exceed, when taken together with all Canadian Overadvances, U.S. Overadvances and Canadian Protective Advances, ten percent (10%) of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, to the U.S. Borrowers, jointly and severally, on behalf of the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders (any of the advances described in this Section 2.01(e)(i)(B)(x) being herein referred to as “U.S. Protective Advances”) or (y) Canadian Revolving Credit Loans not to exceed, when taken together with all Canadian Overadvances, three and one-half (3.5%) of the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, to the Parent Borrower, on behalf of the US. Revolving Credit Lenders (any of the advances described in this Section 2.01(e)(i)(B)(y) being herein referred to as “Canadian Protective Advances”, and together with U.S. Protective Advances, “Protective Advances”) which the Administrative Agent in each case deems reasonably necessary (1) to preserve or protect all or any portion of the Collateral, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and other Finance Obligations or (3) to pay any amount chargeable to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents; provided that the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization contained in this Section 2.01(e)(i) to make Protective Advances, any such revocation to be in writing and to become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof; and provided, further, that the Administrative Agent shall not knowingly make Protective Advances which would cause the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time to exceed the Revolving Credit Facility. Protective Advances shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable. Immediately upon the making of an Protective Advance, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Administrative Agent a risk participation in such Protective Advance in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage multiplied by the amount of such Protective Advance.

(ii) Maturity of Protective Advances. The principal amount of all Protective Advances shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) one Business Day following demand for payment made by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative, (B) the Maturity Date, (C) the occurrence of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law with respect to any Borrower or (D) the acceleration of any Loan or the termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 8.02.

(iii) Refinancing of Protective Advances.

(A) The Administrative Agent at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers, jointly and severally (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan, a Canadian Base Rate Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Protective Advances then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall furnish the Borrower Representative with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent for its account in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 P.M. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.01(e)(iii)(B), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers, jointly and severally, in such amount.

(B) If for any reason any Protective Advance cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.01(e)(iii)(A), the request for Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, submitted by the Administrative Agent as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Administrative Agent that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Protective Advance and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.01(e)(iii)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(C) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01(e)(iii) by the time specified in Section 2.01(e)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Protective Advance, as the case may be. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (C) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(D) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Protective Advances pursuant to this Section 2.01(e)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (x) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (y) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (z) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(iv) Repayment of Participations.

(A) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in an Protective Advance, if the Administrative Agent receives any payment on account of such Protective Advance, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(B) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent in respect of principal or interest on any Protective Advance is required to be returned by the Administrative Agent under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Senior Credit Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(v) Interest for Account of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower Representative for interest on the Protective Advances. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.01(e) to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Protective Advance, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Administrative Agent.

(vi) Payments Directly to Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Protective Advances directly to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(f) U.S. Swingline Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the U.S. Swingline Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “U.S. Swingline Loan”) in Dollars to the U.S. Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the U.S. Swingline Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to any U.S. Swingline Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the

lesser of (x) the Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the Total Borrowing Base at such time, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Swingline Loans shall not exceed the U.S. Swingline Sublimit, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Swingline Loans plus the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Canadian Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Total Swingline Limit, and (iv) the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the U.S. Borrowing Base. Within the limits of the U.S. Swingline Sublimit, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the U.S. Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(f), prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(f). U.S. Swingline Loans shall be Base Rate Loans, shall (without duplication) constitute U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and shall bear interest at the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a U.S. Swingline Loan, each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the U.S. Swingline Lender a risk participation in such U.S. Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage multiplied by the amount of such U.S. Swingline Loan.

(g) Canadian Swingline Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Canadian Swingline Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Canadian Swingline Loan”) in Dollars and Canadian Dollars to the Canadian Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Canadian Swingline Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Canadian Swingline Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the Total Borrowing Base at such time, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Canadian Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Canadian Swingline Sublimit, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Swingline Loans plus the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Canadian Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Total Swingline Limit, and (iv) the Total Canadian Revolving Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the Canadian Borrowing Base. Within the limits of the Canadian Swingline Sublimit, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(g), prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(g). Canadian Swingline Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Canadian Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars shall be Canadian Base Rate Loans. Canadian Swingline Loans shall (without duplication) constitute Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate or Canadian Base Rate, as applicable. Immediately upon the making of a Canadian Swingline Loan, each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Canadian Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Canadian Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage multiplied by the amount of such Canadian Swingline Loan.

Section 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower Representative’s (on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers) irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans or of any permitted conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as the case may be, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans; provided, however, that if a Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest

Not later than 2:00 P.M., three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders and, if such consent shall have not been obtained, the notice given by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed automatically amended (i) to specify an Interest Period of one month in the event such requested Interest Period was one week and six months in the event such requested Interest Period was nine or twelve months in duration and (ii) to be given at the time of such amendment, without the need for any further action by the Borrower Representative. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or Cdn. $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 or Cdn. $500,000, as applicable, in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.01(e)(ii) or Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or Cdn. $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 or Cdn. $100,000, as applicable, in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining unused portion of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility in the case of a U.S. Revolving Credit Loan, or the remaining unused portion of the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility in the case of a Canadian Revolving Credit Loan). Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether a Borrower is requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a Swingline Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) if applicable, the currency of the Borrowing, continuation or conversion. If the Borrower Representative fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower Representative fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans (in the case of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans), Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars). Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans. If the Borrower Representative requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Credit Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage under the applicable Facility of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Revolving Credit Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day specified in the applicable

Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Xxxxx Fargo Bank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative; provided, however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing is given by the Borrower Representative, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding under the applicable Facility, then the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to such Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan and a BA Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) no Revolving Credit Loans to the U.S. Borrowers may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required U.S. Lenders and (ii) no Loans to the Parent Borrower may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Canadian Lenders.

(d) Upon the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans. At any time that Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans are outstanding, upon the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders of Xxxxx Fargo Bank’s or the Canadian Reference Bank’s, as applicable, base rate or prime rate then in effect.

(e) After giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 10 Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(f) Anything in this Section 2.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars may be borrowed, converted into or maintained as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan or a BA Rate Loan, (ii) no Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars may be borrowed, converted into or maintained as a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (iii) no U.S. Revolving Credit Loan may be borrowed, converted into or maintained as a Canadian Base Rate Loan and (iv) the Borrowers may not select (A) Eurodollar Rate Loans or the BA Rate Loans for the initial Credit Extension or (B) Interest Periods for Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans that have a duration of more than one month prior to the Syndication Date.

Each request by the Borrower Representative on behalf of a U.S. Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a U.S. Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower Representative that the U.S. L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the provisos to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the U.S. Borrowers’ ability to obtain U.S. Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the U.S. Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain U.S. Letters of Credit to replace U.S. Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each Canadian L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Canadian Letters of Credit for the benefit of the Parent Borrower and any other Canadian Loan Party all for the account of the Parent Borrower, and to amend or extend Canadian Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drawings under the Canadian Letters of Credit; and (B) the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Canadian Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of the Parent Borrower and any other Canadian Loan Party all for the account of the Parent Borrower and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Canadian Letter of Credit, (v) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (I) the Revolving Credit Facility and (II) the Total Borrowing Base at such time, (w) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans of any Canadian Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Canadian L/C Obligations and Canadian Swingline Loans shall not exceed such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment, (x) the Total Canadian Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (I) the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility and (II) the Canadian Borrowing Base, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the Canadian L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the U.S. L/C Obligations plus the Outstanding Amount of the Canadian L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Total Letter of Credit Sublimit; and provided, further, that no Canadian Letter of Credit may be issued, amended or extended in a currency other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars. Each request by the Borrower Representative on behalf of the Parent Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Canadian Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a

representation by the Borrower Representative that the Canadian L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the provisos to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower’s ability to obtain Canadian Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Parent Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Canadian Letters of Credit to replace Canadian Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(iii) No U.S. L/C Issuer or Canadian L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance, unless the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer has approved such expiry date; or

(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders or Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable (excluding in each case Defaulting Lenders), have approved such expiry date.

(iv) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more established policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000 or Cdn. $100,000, as applicable, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000 or Cdn. $500,000, as applicable, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit;

(E) a default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender hereunder, unless the applicable L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to such L/C Issuer with the Borrower Representative or such Revolving Credit Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender; provided that, if any such L/C Issuer refuses to issue a Letter of Credit, such refusal shall not prohibit any Borrower from requesting any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender to issue such Letter of Credit or any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit.

(v) The applicable L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof; provided that, if any such L/C Issuer refuses to amend a Letter of Credit, such refusal shall not prohibit any Borrower from requesting any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form or any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit in its amended form.

(vi) The applicable L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit; provided that, if any such L/C Issuer refuses to amend a Letter of Credit, such refusal shall not prohibit any Borrower from requesting any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form or any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit in its amended form.

(vii) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower Representative delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. at least three Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary

in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; (H) whether such Letter of Credit is requested to be a U.S. Letter of Credit or a Canadian Letter of Credit and (I) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower Representative and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Appropriate Lender under the applicable Facility, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the applicable L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each U.S. Letter of Credit, each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer a risk participation in such U.S. Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage times the amount of such U.S. Letter of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Canadian Letter of Credit, each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Canadian Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage times the amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower Representative so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its reasonable discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that (x) any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued and (y) such prior notice shall be deemed to have been given by the L/C Issuer on the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer in accordance with Section 10.06(g). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower Representative shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an

expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the applicable L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (iii) or (iv) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower Representative that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, such L/C Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent who shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender under the applicable Facility of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars) to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in Canadian Dollars unless the Borrower Representative shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the applicable Borrower will reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the reasonable determination thereof.

(ii) Each Appropriate Lender under the applicable Facility shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the

account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Appropriate Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (or Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as the case may be) because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable within one Business Day of the demand therefor (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Appropriate Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Credit Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until the applicable Appropriate Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any applicable Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Appropriate Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of an

L/C Issuer submitted to any Appropriate Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Appropriate Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by an L/C Issuer in its reasonable discretion), each Appropriate Lender under the applicable Facility shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Adjusted Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Senior Credit Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the

benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries.

The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Credit Lender and each Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Credit Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders under the applicable Facility or the Required U.S. Revolving Lenders or Required Canadian Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at Law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuers may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuers shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that has not been repaid or reimbursed in accordance with Section 2.03(c), or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the applicable Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all applicable L/C Obligations. Sections 2.04 and 8.02(iii) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of

the applicable L/C Issuers and the Appropriate Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuers (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Each applicable Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Xxxxx Fargo Bank, the Canadian Reference Bank or such other commercial bank to which the Administrative Agent may consent in its sole discretion. If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (or such other commercial bank to which the Administrative Agent has consented as described in the preceding sentence) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all applicable L/C Obligations, the Borrowers will, within one Business Day of demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer.

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Appropriate Lender in accordance with its Applicable Adjusted Percentage, and the Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Appropriate Lender in accordance with its Applicable Adjusted Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to: (i) for each U.S. Letter of Credit, the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such U.S. Letter of Credit and (ii) for each Canadian Letter of Credit, the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Canadian Letter of Credit, as applicable. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges to L/C Issuers. The Parent Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum of 0.125%, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day after the end of each calendar quarter in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first

such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter within one Business Day of demand therefor. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Parent Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the usual and customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within one Business Day of demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, one or more of its Subsidiaries, the applicable Borrower shall be a co-applicant and shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account one or more of its of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(m) Reporting. Each L/C Issuer other than Xxxxx Fargo Bank will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding week, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or amendment, and the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and such L/C Issuer shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any L/C Disbursement, the date and amount of such L/C Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date and amount of such failure.

Section 2.04. Prepayments.

(a) Optional. The Borrowers may at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or Cdn. $500,000, as applicable, or a whole multiple of $500,000 or Cdn. $500,000, as applicable, in excess thereof; and (B) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or Cdn. $500,000, as applicable, or a whole multiple of $500,000 or Cdn. $500,000, as applicable, in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Excess Outstandings. If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of (x) the Total Borrowing Base at such time (except as a result of Overadvance Loans or Protective Advances permitted under Section

2.01(c), (d) and (e)) and (y) the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Borrowers shall, within one Business Day after any of them becomes or should have become aware of such excess, prepay Swingline Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other than the L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount not to exceed such excess; provided, that, if the Borrowers so Cash Collateralize such L/C obligations, then the Administrative Agent shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, remit the amounts subject to such Cash Collateralization to the Borrowers on the date such excess ceases to exist. If for any reason the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of (x) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (except to the extent constituting U.S. Overadvance Loans permitted under Section 2.01(c) or U.S. Protective Advances permitted under Section 2.01(e)) and (y) the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the U.S. Borrowers shall immediately prepay U.S. Revolving Credit Loans, the U.S. Swingline Loans and U.S. L/C Obligations or Cash Collateralize the U.S. L/C Obligations (other than the U.S. L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, that, if the Borrowers so Cash Collateralize such L/C obligations, then the Administrative Agent shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, remit the amounts subject to such Cash Collateralization to the Borrowers on the date such excess ceases to exist. If for any reason the Total Canadian Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of (x) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (except to the extent constituting Canadian Overadvance Loans permitted under Section 2.01(d) or Canadian Protective Advances permitted under Section 2.01(e)) and (y) the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Parent Borrower shall, within one Business Day after any of them becomes or should have become aware of such excess, prepay Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, the Canadian Swingline Loans and Canadian L/C Obligations or Cash Collateralize the Canadian L/C Obligations (other than the Canadian L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, that, if the Parent Borrower so Cash Collateralizes such L/C Obligations, then the Administrative Agent shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, remit the amounts subject to such Cash Collateralization to the Parent Borrower on the date such excess ceases to exist.

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) Cash Sweeps. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be prepaid from time to time as provided in Section 2.04 of the U.S. Security Agreement and Section 2.04 of the Canadian Security Agreement.

(iv) Application to Revolving Credit Facility. Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Swingline Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be applied as follows:

(A) With respect to prepayments resulting from a cash sweep contemplated by Section 2.04(b)(v) hereof and Section 2.04 of the U.S. Security Agreement, such prepayments, first, shall be applied ratably to the U.S. Swingline Loans, the U.S. L/C Borrowings, the U.S. Overadvance Loans and U.S. Protective Advances, second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans, and, third, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining U.S. L/C Obligations; and the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all U.S. L/C Borrowings, U.S. Swingline Loans and U.S. Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time and the Cash Collateralization of the remaining U.S. L/C Obligations in full may be retained by the U.S. Borrowers for use in the ordinary course of its business; provided that, so long as

no Cash Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall release all or any portion of such Cash Collateral upon the request of the Borrower Representative. Upon the drawing of any U.S. Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the U.S. L/C Issuer or the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

(B) With respect to prepayments resulting from a cash sweep contemplated by Section 2.04(b)(v) hereof and Section 2.04 of the Canadian Security Agreement, such prepayments, first, shall be applied ratably to the Canadian Swingline Loans, the Canadian L/C Borrowings, the Canadian Overadvance Loans and Canadian Protective Advances, second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, and, third, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining Canadian L/C Obligations; and the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all Canadian L/C Borrowings, Canadian Swingline Loans and Canadian Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time and the Cash Collateralization of the remaining Canadian L/C Obligations in full may be retained by the Parent Borrower for use in the ordinary course of its business; provided that, so long as no Cash Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall release all or any portion of such Cash Collateral upon the request of the Borrower Representative.

Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if a prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a BA Rate Loan shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, the amounts otherwise required to be used to so prepay such Eurodollar Rate Loan or a BA Rate Loan shall, upon the prior written request of the Borrower Representative, be held by the Administrative Agent as cash collateral until the last day of such Interest Period; provided, further, that, upon the request of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall remit such cash collateral to the Borrowers prior to the last day of such Interest Period on the date requested by the Borrowers (x) if the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings are zero or (y) if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied immediately before and after giving effect thereto, but (in the case of this clause (y)) not in an amount in excess of the maximum amount of the Revolving Credit Loans that the Borrowers would then be entitled to borrow under this Agreement on such date.

(c) Prepayment Notices. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be made upon notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone (and if in writing shall be in the form of a Prepayment Notice appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower), which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. (x) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans and (y) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount (and, if such notice is given in respect of a prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans under Section 2.04(b), the date and amount so specified shall be

as required under Section 2.04(b), as the case may be) of such prepayment and the applicable Facility and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Revolving Credit Loans. Each telephonic notice by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Prepayment Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage under the applicable Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower Representative, the applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan under this Section 2.04 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the relevant Facilities in the manner described in Section 2.04(a) or (b), as applicable.

Section 2.05. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional. The Borrowers may, upon notice by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Facility or the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Facility or the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction except that such notice may state that such termination shall be conditioned upon the occurrence of the closing of a debt or equity issuance by a specified date and, such notice may be revoked if such closing does not occur by such specified date, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce (A) the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, (B) the U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of U.S. L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit, (C) the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Canadian Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, or (D) the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of Canadian L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.05, the U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(ii) If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.05, the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of any Letter of Credit Sublimit or any Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.05. Upon any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Appropriate Lender shall be reduced by such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount. All fees in respect of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility accrued until the effective date of any termination of such Revolving Credit Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

Section 2.06. Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date, in the same currency as advanced, the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date. The Borrowers shall repay to the Swingline Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Credit Loans outstanding on such date.

Section 2.07. Interest.

(a) Stated Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(b): (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans; (ii) each BA Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the BA Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for BA Rate Loans; (iii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans; (iv) each Canadian Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Canadian Base Rate Loans; and (v) each Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

(b) Default Interest.

(i) If any amount of principal of any Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan (other than Revolving Credit Loans of a Defaulting Lender for so long as it is a Defaulting Lender) is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at an interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan) payable by the Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (other than amounts owing to Defaulting Lenders for so long as it is a Defaulting Lender), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then at the election of Administrative Agent or upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable within one Business Day of demand therefor.

(c) Payments of Interest. Interest on each Revolving Credit Loan and Swingline Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as

may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 2.08. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(i) and (j):

(a) Utilization Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender for any period during which it is a Defaulting Lender), a quarterly utilization fee equal to its Applicable Percentage of the product of (A) the quotient of (x) the Applicable Fee Rate multiplied by the amount, if any, by which the Average Revolving Credit Facility Balance during the applicable calendar quarter is less than the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect (or, if terminated, in effect immediately prior to such termination) divided by 365 multiplied by (b) the number of days in the applicable quarter.

The utilization fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears and if there is any change in the Applicable Fee Rate during any month, the daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Fee Rate for each period during which such Applicable Fee Rate was in effect. The utilization fee shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and shall accrue at all times, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met.

(b) Other Fees. The Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.09. Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans when the Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate and/or Canadian Prime Rate is determined by the Administrative Agent, as applicable, “prime rate” or “base rate”, and all BA Rate Loans, shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest and fees shall, unless otherwise provided, be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Revolving Credit Loan for the day on which the Revolving Credit Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Revolving Credit Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Revolving Credit Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Revolving Credit Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate calculated on the basis of a period of time different from the actual number of days in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent is the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 days) and divided by the number of days in the shorter period (360 days, in the example).

(a) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of any Group Company or for any other reason, the Borrower Representative or the Revolving Credit Lenders determine that (i) Excess Availability as calculated by the Borrower Representative as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of such Excess Availability would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower Representative shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, within one Business Day of demand therefor by the Administrative Agent (and in any event within five Business Days or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount

equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.07(b) or under Article VIII. The Borrower Representative’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Senior Credit Obligations hereunder.

Section 2.10. Evidence of Debt. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Revolving Credit Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Revolving Credit Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Revolving Credit Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Senior Credit Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Revolving Credit Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Revolving Credit Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.10(a), each Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.11. Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Revolving Credit Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as the case may be, and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Adjusted Percentage in respect of the applicable Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds in accordance with Section 2.11(g). All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 P.M. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Funding and Payments; Presumptions.

(i) Funding by Revolving Credit Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving Credit Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, prior to 2:00 P.M. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Revolving Credit Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving Credit Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Revolving Credit Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing or of any settlement pursuant to Section 2.11(g) available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Revolving Credit Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day of demand therefor such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with accrued interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender, the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable. If such Borrower and such Revolving Credit Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Revolving Credit Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Failed Loans. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall fail to make any Loan (a “Failed Loan”) which such Revolving Credit Lender is otherwise obligated hereunder to make to the Borrowers on the date of Borrowing thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from the Borrower Representative or such Revolving Credit Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied, then, until such Revolving Credit Lender shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection (b)(ii)) the Failed Loan in full or the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative or such Revolving Credit Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from or for the account of the Borrowers on account of any Borrowing of the Revolving Credit Loans, (i) the amount so received will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be distributed in the following order of priority: First, to the Appropriate Lenders on account of the Revolving Credit Loans made by them as part of the Borrowing that would have included the Failed Loan had the relevant Revolving Credit Lender not failed to fund its Failed Loan, ratably among such Appropriate Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Credit Loans made by them as part of such

Borrowing, Second, to all other Revolving Credit Loans made by the Appropriate Lenders other than the Defaulting Lenders, ratably among such Appropriate Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Credit Loans made by them, and Third, to the Revolving Credit Loans made by the Appropriate Lenders who are Defaulting Lenders.

(iii) Defaulted Amounts. If any Appropriate Lender shall fail to make any payment (the “Defaulted Amount”) to any Agent, any L/C Issuer, or any other Revolving Credit Lender, whether an account of a risk participation in Overadvance Loans, Protective Advances, Letters of Credit or otherwise, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from or for the account of the Borrowers for the account of such Appropriate Lender (other than as described in clause (ii) of this Section 2.11(b)), the amount so received will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be distributed in the following order of priority: First, to the Agents for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them (other than on account of any Overadvance Loans and Protective Advances), in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Agents, Second, to the Administrative Agent (on account of any outstanding Overadvance Loans and Protective Advances under the relevant Facility) and the applicable L/C Issuer for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such Persons, and Third, to any other Appropriate Lenders for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Appropriate Lenders, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Appropriate Lenders. Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (iii), shall be applied or held by the Administrative Agent as specified in clause (iv) of this Section 2.11(b).

(iv) Distribution of Certain Amounts. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall be an Impacted Lender that does not at any time owe a Failed Loan or a Defaulted Amount, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from or for the account of the Borrowers for the account of such Impacted Lender, the amount so received will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be held without interest by the Administrative Agent and applied from time to time to the extent necessary to make any Revolving Credit Loans required to be made by such Impacted Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Impacted Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Agent, any L/C Issuer, or any other Appropriate Lender, as and when such Revolving Credit Loans or amounts are required to be made or paid. If the amount so held shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Revolving Credit Loans and amounts required to be made or paid at such time, the Administrative Agent shall apply such held funds in the following order of priority: First, to the Agents for any amounts then due and payable by such Impacted Lender to them hereunder (other than on account of any Overadvance Loans and Protective Advances), in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to the Agents, Second, to the Administrative Agent (on account of any outstanding Overadvance Loans and Protective Advances under the relevant Facility) and the applicable L/C Issuers for any amounts then due and payable to them hereunder, in their capacities as such, by such Impacted Lender, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to such Persons, and Third, to any other Appropriate Lenders for any amount then due and payable by such Impacted Lender to such other Appropriate Lenders hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to such other Appropriate Lenders. In the event that any Impacted Lender ceases to be an Impacted Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such time with respect to such Appropriate Lender shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Appropriate

Lender and applied by such Lender Party to the Senior Credit Obligations owing to such Appropriate Lender at such time under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such Senior Credit Obligations outstanding at such time.

(v) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Revolving Credit Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Revolving Credit Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Revolving Credit Lender) to such Revolving Credit Lender without interest.

(d) Obligations of Revolving Credit Lenders Several. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Revolving Credit Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Revolving Credit Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (in each case to the applicable Facility or Facilities) (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward

payment of the principal amount of any Overadvance Loans and Protective Advances, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties, (iii) third, toward payment of principal of L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties, and (iv) fourth, toward payments of the principal amount of or any other Revolving Credit Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such principal then due to such parties.

(g) Settlement of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans. To facilitate administration of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Appropriate Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that settlement among them with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swingline Loans under each Facility may take place on a date determined from time to time by the Administrative Agent, which shall occur at least once each week. With respect to all Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility, the amount of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility shall be computed weekly, and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility as of 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each settlement computation; provided, that, Administrative Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the above described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly. Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Revolving Credit Lenders after the end of each week, or at such lesser period or periods as Administrative Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereinafter referred to as a “Settlement Period”). If the summary statement is sent by Administrative Agent and received by a Revolving Credit Lender prior to 12:00 p.m., then such Revolving Credit Lender shall make the settlement transfer described in this Section by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the same Business Day and if received by a Revolving Lender after 12:00 p.m., then such Revolving Credit Lender shall make the settlement transfer by not later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day following the date of receipt. If, as of the end of any Settlement Period, the amount of a Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility is more than such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit as of the end of the previous Settlement Period, then such Revolving Credit Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the preceding sentence) transfer to Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the increase. Alternatively, if the amount of a Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility for the previous Settlement Period, Administrative Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Revolving Credit Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the decrease. The obligation of each of the Revolving Credit Lenders to transfer such funds and effect such settlement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by Administrative Agent, without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance or Protective Advance exists, any Default or Event of Default exists, or the conditions in Section 4.02 are satisfied. Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to xxxx its books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of its Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility to the extent such Loans have been funded by such Revolving Credit Lender. Because the Administrative Agent or Swingline Lender may be advancing and/or may be repaid Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline

Loans under each Facility prior to the time when Revolving Credit Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid such Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by Agent in accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Revolving Credit Lender, Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by Borrowers or actually settled with the applicable Revolving Credit Lender as described in this Section.

Section 2.12. Sharing of Payments by Revolving Credit Lenders. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any Revolving Credit Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (i) Senior Credit Obligations due and payable to such Revolving Credit Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such Senior Credit Obligations due and payable to such Revolving Credit Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of the Senior Credit Obligations due and payable to all Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Senior Credit Obligations due and payable to all Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Revolving Credit Lenders at such time or (ii) Senior Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Revolving Credit Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such Senior Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Revolving Credit Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of the Senior Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Senior Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Revolving Credit Lenders at such time, then the Revolving Credit Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Credit Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Senior Credit Obligations then due and payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be; provided that prior to the CAM Exchange Date, each Revolving Credit Lender shall only purchase participations in Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations under the Facility with respect to which they hold a Commitment; provided further that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Revolving Credit Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Credit Loans or subparticipations in participation interests in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

The Borrowers consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Revolving Credit Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against any Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Revolving Credit Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.13. Increase in Revolving Credit Facility.

(a) Requests for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders), the Borrower Representative may from time to time, request an increase (each a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) in either Facility by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding, in the aggregate, $125,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower Representative may make a maximum of five requests for a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, and (iii) no Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall cause the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments of all Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders or the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of all U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders to exceed $250,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower Representative (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders). All Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase are herein referred to herein as “Additional Loans”. If a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase in any amount occurs with respect to any Facility, a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall automatically occur with respect to the other Facility in the same amount.

(b) Ranking and Other Provisions. The Additional Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and in respect of lien priority as to the Collateral with the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, (ii) shall have the same Maturity Date as the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and (iii) shall be on the same terms, and otherwise treated the same, as the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.

(c) Revolving Credit Lender Elections to Increase. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. Any Revolving Credit Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.

(d) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and each Revolving Credit Lender of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower Representative may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Revolving Credit Lenders (“Additional Lenders”) pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(e) Facility Increase Amendment. Commitments in respect of any Additional Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (a “Facility Increase Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Primary Loan Parties, each Revolving Credit Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. A Facility Increase Amendment may, without the consent of any other Revolving Credit Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13. At the time of the sending of such notice, the Borrower

Representative (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders).

(f) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Revolving Credit Facility is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date.

(g) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase: (i) the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party: (A) certifying and attaching copies of the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase; and (B) in the case of each Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase: (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.13, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01; (2) no Default or Event of Default then exists, other than any Event of Default that would be (and is) cured upon the occurrence of such Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date; (3) the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 2.13(g) and 4.02 shall have been satisfied both before and after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and the Additional Loans provided thereby (it being understood that all references to “the obligation of any Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan on the occasion of any Borrowing” shall be deemed to refer to the effectiveness of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase on the date of the initial funding of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase); and (4) the Maturity Date of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be coincident with the existing Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Loans; and (ii) (A) the existing Revolving Credit Lenders or other financial institutions, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, commit to be Revolving Credit Lenders and to fund any such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase in minimum amounts to be determined; and (B) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Lenders shall have been paid or will be paid concurrently with such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. The Additional Loans shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders participating therein pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.02.

(h) Effect of Additional Facility Amendment. On each Additional Commitments Effective Date, each Revolving Credit Lender or Eligible Assignee which is providing an Additional Commitment (i) shall become a “Revolving Credit Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) shall have, as applicable, an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment which shall become “Commitments” hereunder.

(i) Revolving Credit Commitment Increases.

(i) Upon each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase with respect to the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Section, (A) each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each existing U.S. Revolving Credit Lender, if any, and each Additional Lender, if any, in each case providing a portion of such Revolving Credit

Commitment Increase (each a “U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender”), and each such U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interests hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participation interests, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participation interests hereunder in Letters of Credit, in each case, held by each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender (including each such U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and (B) if, on the date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, there are any U.S. Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall take those steps which it deems, in its reasonable discretion and in consultation with the Borrower Representative, reasonably necessary and appropriate to result in each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender (including each U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) having a pro rata share of the outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans based on each such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Commitment Percentage immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, provided that any prepayment made in connection with the taking of any such steps shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with Section 3.05. The Administrative Agent and the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any transaction that may be effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(ii) Upon each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase with respect to the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Section, (A) each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each existing Canadian Revolving Credit Lender, if any, and each Additional Lender, if any, in each case providing a portion of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each a “Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender”), and each such Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interests hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participation interests, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participation interests hereunder in Letters of Credit, in each case, held by each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and (B) if, on the date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, there are any Canadian Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall take those steps which it deems, in its reasonable discretion and in consultation with the Borrower Representative, reasonably necessary and appropriate to result in each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender (including each Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) having a pro rata share of the outstanding Canadian Revolving Credit Loans based on each such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Revolving Commitment Percentage immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, provided that any prepayment made in connection with the taking of any such steps shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Canadian Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with Section 3.05. The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any transaction that may be effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(j) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or 10.01 to the contrary.

(k) Proportionate Commitments under each Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) if any Lender has a U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment in any amount (whether pursuant to a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase or otherwise), such Lender or an Affiliate thereof shall have a Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment in the same amount, and (ii) if any Lender has a Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment in any amount (whether pursuant to a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase or otherwise), such Lender or an Affiliate thereof shall have a U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment in the same amount; it being understood that, if a Lender has a Revolving Credit Commitment in any amount in one Facility, such Lender or an Affiliate thereof shall have a Revolving Credit Commitment in the other Facility in the same amount.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable Law or the interpretation thereof by the relevant Governmental Authority to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (A) the amount payable shall be increased by such additional amount as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including, without limitations, deductions or withholdings applicable to additional amounts paid under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the full amount they would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made, (B) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings; and (C) the relevant Loan Party shall promptly pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above (but without duplication of any payments made by the Loan Parties pursuant to such subsections), the Loan Parties shall, and do hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Loan Parties shall also, and do hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to any Loan Party by a Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Finance Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon a request by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, each Borrower shall deliver as promptly as practicable to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver as promptly as practicable to the Borrower Representative, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine and evidence under applicable Laws and procedures (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (C) such Revolving Credit Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Revolving Credit Lender by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Revolving Credit Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Loan Party is resident for tax purposes in the United States:

(A) any Revolving Credit Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the time such Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Revolving Credit Lender under this Agreement, properly completed and duly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Revolving Credit Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender (except in connection with a CAM Exchange, with respect to the portion attributable to the CAM Exchange (in which case such Foreign Lender shall comply with Section 3.01(e)(ii)(B) to the extent practicable) that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Revolving Credit Lender (other than as a result of a CAM Exchange) under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(2) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(3) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation;

(4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Loan Party within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; or

(5) any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (except an assignee Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to a CAM Exchange under Section 8.04, with respect to the portion attributable to the CAM Exchange (in which case any such Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with this Section 3.01(e)(iii) to the extent practicable) shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Revolving Credit Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from amounts payable to such Revolving Credit Lender.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

Section 3.02. Illegality. If any Revolving Credit Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Revolving Credit Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Base Rate or BA Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Revolving Credit Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Revolving Credit Lender to the Borrower Representative through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Revolving Credit Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to BA Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Revolving Credit Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall, within one Business Day of demand therefor from such Revolving Credit Lender to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans of such Revolving Credit Lender to Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Revolving Credit Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Revolving Credit Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Revolving Lenders reasonably determine for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate or BA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan or in connection with a Base Rate Loan, (iii) the Reuters Screen CDOR Page is not available for the timely determination of the BA Rate, and the BA Rate cannot otherwise be determined in a timely manner in accordance with the definition of “BA Rate”, or (iv) the Eurodollar Base Rate or BA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan or in connection with a Base Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Revolving Credit Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Representative and each Revolving Credit Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, BA Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Revolving Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, in the amount specified therein.

Section 3.04. Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Revolving Credit Lender (or its Lending Office) (except any reserve requirement which is reflected in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate hereunder) or any L/C Issuer;

(ii) impose on any Revolving Credit Lender (or its Lending Office) or L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Revolving Credit Lender (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Credit Loan), or to increase the cost to such Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will, jointly and severally, pay to such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Revolving Credit Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return (i) on such Revolving Credit Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Revolving Credit Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, (ii) the Commitments of such Revolving Credit Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit made by such Revolving Credit Lender, or (iii) the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer or such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will, jointly and severally, pay to such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer or such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the basis for, and the calculation of, the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delays in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.05. Compensation for Losses. Within one Business Day of written demand of any Revolving Credit Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, promptly to compensate such Revolving Credit Lender for and hold such Revolving Credit Lender harmless from any loss or any cost or expense (other than lost profits) incurred by it as a result of:

(i) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Revolving Credit Loan other than a Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(ii) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Revolving Credit Loan other than a Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower Representative;

(iii) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or BA Rate on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 10.13; or

(iv) the occurrence of a CAM Exchange pursuant to Section 8.04;

including, with respect to clauses (i) through (iv) above, and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Revolving Credit Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Revolving Credit Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Revolving Credit Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

Section 3.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Revolving Credit Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Revolving Credit Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Revolving Credit Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Revolving Credit Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Revolving Credit Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case

100

may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed, out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree, jointly and severally, to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Revolving Credit Lenders. If any Revolving Credit Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Revolving Credit Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make, continue or convert Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02, the Borrower Representative may replace such Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

Section 3.07. Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Senior Credit Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE IX

AGENCY PROVISIONS

Section 9.01. Appointment and Authority.

(a) Administrative Agent. Each of the Revolving Credit Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxx Fargo Bank (including with respect to the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, acting through WFCF Canada to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and such appointment is hereby accepted. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and each L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) Collateral Agent. Xxxxx Fargo Bank shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Revolving Credit Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank) and each of the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Revolving Credit Lender and such L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Finance Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto, and such appointment is hereby accepted. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(c) For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably constitutes Xxxxx Fargo Bank as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold hypothecs and security granted by any Loan Party on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec in order to secure obligations of any Loan Party under any bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness, issued by any Loan Party, and hereby agrees that the Collateral Agent, may act as the bondholder and mandatary (i.e. agent) with respect to any shares, capital stock or other securities or any bond, debenture or other indebtedness that may be issued by any Loan Party and pledged in favour of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The execution by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, acting as fondé de pouvoir and mandatary, prior to this Agreement of any deeds of hypothec or other security documents is hereby ratified and confirmed. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of

153

An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Québec), the Collateral Agent may acquire and be the holder of any bond or debenture issued by any Loan Party (i.e. the fondé de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond issued under any deed of hypothec by any Loan Party). The constitution of Xxxxx Fargo Bank as fondé de pouvoir, and of the Collateral Agent as bondholder and mandatary with respect to any bond, debenture, shares, capital stock or other securities that may be issued and pledged from time to time to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by each Person accepting an assignment of, a participation in or an arrangement in respect of, all or any portion of any Secured Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, whether by the execution of an assignment, including an Assignment and Assumption or a joinder agreement in the case of any Hedge Bank, or any other agreement pursuant to which it becomes such assignee or participant, and by each successor Collateral Agent by the execution of an Assignment and Assumption or other agreement or otherwise bound by this Agreement, or by the compliance with other formalities, as the case may be, pursuant to which it becomes a successor Agent under this Agreement. Xxxxx Fargo Bank acting as fondé de pouvoir shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favour of the Collateral Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis to Xxxxx Fargo Bank acting as fondé de pouvoir.

Section 9.02. Rights as a Revolving Credit Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender as any other Revolving Credit Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Revolving Credit Lender” or “Revolving Credit Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Revolving Credit Lenders.

Section 9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Revolving Lenders, the Required U.S. Lenders, Required Canadian Lenders or Supermajority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Revolving Credit Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

154

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Revolving Lenders, Required Canadian Lenders, Required U.S. Lenders or Supermajority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Revolving Credit Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be liable for any act or omission in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative, a Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, the acceptance and purchase of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Revolving Credit Loan, the acceptance and purchase of the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05. Delegation of Duties; Agency for Perfection. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Agent (on behalf of itself and Collateral Agent) hereby appoints each other Secured Party as its agent (and each other Secured Party hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Collateral Agent’s Lien Collateral which can be perfected by possession or control.

Section 9.06. Resignation of Agent. The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Revolving Credit Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the

155

Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Revolving Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and not to be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States and Canada, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States and Canada. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Revolving Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint, with the prior consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and not to be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable meeting the qualifications set forth above which successor shall be a Lender unless no Lender is willing to accept such appointment; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by such Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring Agent shall instead be made by or to each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Revolving Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and such retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrower Representative and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

If so requested by the Required Revolving Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall appoint, with the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and not to be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), separate successor agents to administer the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility and the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, in which case, all provisions applicable to the Administrative Agent shall be equally applicable to such successor agents.

Any resignation by Xxxxx Fargo Bank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Xxxxx Fargo Bank as a retiring L/C Issuer, (ii) Xxxxx Fargo Bank, as a retiring L/C Issuer, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations in such capacities hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and (iii) a successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by Xxxxx Fargo Bank outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Xxxxx Fargo Bank as a retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of Xxxxx Fargo Bank as issuer of such Letters of Credit.

The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Revolving Credit Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Senior Credit Obligations.

Section 10.05. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Revolving Credit Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Revolving Credit Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Revolving Credit Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (ii) each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Senior Credit Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.06. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted

165

hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender and no Revolving Credit Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Revolving Credit Lenders. Any Revolving Credit Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations, Swingline Loans and Protective Advances) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment under any Facility and the Revolving Credit Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Revolving Credit Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or a Dollar Equivalent thereof) unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Representative otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Revolving Credit Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned. If any Lender assigns any of its rights or obligations under any Facility to any Person, such Lender shall assign a proportionate share of its rights and

166

obligations under the other Facility to such Person or an Affiliate of such Person; it being understood that if a Lender has a Revolving Credit Commitment in any amount in one Facility, such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender shall have a Revolving Credit Commitment in the other Facility in the same amount.

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender or an Approved Fund (except that no Canadian Revolving Credit Lender may assign its rights or obligations hereunder to a Lender or an Approved Fund if such assignee would not satisfy the definition of “Canadian Revolving Credit Lender”); provided that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;

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

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

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

(v) No Assignment to Borrowers, Affiliates or Subsidiaries. No assignment shall be made to any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No assignment shall be made to (A) a natural person or (B) absent the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to a Person (an “Ineligible Assignee”) disclosed on a list of competitors identified as Ineligible Assignees and accepted by the Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date, as updated from time to time by the Borrower Representative and approved by the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

167

(vii) No Assignment to Non-Canadian Revolving Credit Lender. No such assignment of all or a portion of a Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment or other rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be made to any Person other than an assignee who satisfies the definition of Canadian Revolving Credit Lender.

(viii) No Assignment unless Registered. No assignment shall be effective unless and until such assignment is recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(c).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Revolving Credit Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Revolving Credit Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Revolving Credit Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its reasonable expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Revolving Credit Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Revolving Credit Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Revolving Credit Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office (i) a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and (ii) a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Revolving Credit Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Revolving Credit Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Revolving Credit Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any Defaulting Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Revolving Credit Loans (including such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Revolving Credit Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Revolving Credit Lender in connection with such Revolving Credit Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Revolving Credit Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Revolving Credit Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this

168

Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Revolving Credit Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clause (y) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Revolving Credit Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). In the event that any Revolving Credit Lender sells a participation pursuant to this Section 10.06(d), such Revolving Credit Lender shall maintain with respect to such participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, a register comparable to the Register (the “Participant Register”). Interests in the rights and/or obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender under this Agreement may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on such Participant Register. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Revolving Credit Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Revolving Credit Lender.

(e) Limitation Upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Revolving Credit Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Participant that would be a Foreign Revolving Credit Lender if it were a Revolving Credit Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Revolving Credit Lender.

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

(g) Resignation as an L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Xxxxx Fargo Bank assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), Xxxxx Fargo Bank (and/or Toronto Dominion Bank, as applicable) may, upon 10 days’ notice to the Borrower Representative and the Revolving Credit Lenders, resign as U.S. L/C Issuer and/or Canadian L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer, the Borrower Representative shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Credit Lenders one or more successor L/C Issuers hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower Representative to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Xxxxx Fargo Bank (and/or Toronto Dominion Bank, as applicable) as an L/C Issuer. If Xxxxx Fargo Bank (and/or Toronto Dominion Bank, as applicable) resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it which remain outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Revolving Credit Lenders to make Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (ii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by the retiring L/C Issuer and remaining outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Xxxxx Fargo Bank to effectively assume the obligations of Xxxxx Fargo Bank (and/or Toronto Dominion Bank, as applicable) with respect to such Letters of Credit.

169

(h) Resignation as a Swingline Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Xxxxx Fargo Bank (and/or WFCF Canada, as applicable) assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), Xxxxx Fargo Bank (and/or WFCF Canada, as applicable) may, upon 10 days’ notice to the Borrower Representative and the Revolving Credit Lenders, resign as U.S. Swingline Lender and/or Canadian Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as a Swingline Lender, the Borrower Representative shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Credit Lenders one or more successor Swingline Lenders hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower Representative to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Xxxxx Fargo Bank (and/or WFCF Canada, as applicable) as a Swingline Lender. If Xxxxx Fargo Bank (and/or WFCF Canada, as applicable) resigns as a Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of a Swingline Lender hereunder with respect to all Swingline Loans made by it which remain outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as a Swingline Lender and all Senior Credit Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Revolving Credit Lenders to fund risk participations with respect hereto). Upon the appointment of a successor Swingline Lender, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender, and (ii) the successor Swingline Lender shall make Swingline Loans in substitution for the Swingline Loans, if any, made by the retiring Swingline Lender and remain outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Xxxxx Fargo Bank to effectively assume the obligations of Xxxxx Fargo Bank (and/or WFCF Canada, as applicable) with respect to such Swingline Loans.

Section 10.07. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information and to not use the Information for any purpose except in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby, except that Information may be disclosed: (i) to its Affiliates and to it and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives who have a need to know such information to facilitate the exercise of the rights granted and the fulfillment of the obligations imposed by the Loan Documents (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (iv) to any other party hereto; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(c), or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower Representative or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower.

170

For purposes of this Section 10.07, “Information” means all non-public information received from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised at least the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own similar confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Agent and any Revolving Credit Lender may place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, after the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise describing the names of the Loan Parties, or any of them, and the amount, type and closing date of such transactions, all at their sole expense.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Holdings, any Borrower or one or more of their Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities Laws.

Section 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Revolving Credit Lender, L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Revolving Credit Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Revolving Credit Lender, the L/C Issuers and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Revolving Credit Lender, the L/C Issuers or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Revolving Credit Lender and L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. No Revolving Credit Lender shall set off against any Cash Collateral Account without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower Representative. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Revolving Credit Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) characterize any

171

payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Senior Credit Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Subject to Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.11. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Senior Credit Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

Section 10.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.13. Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Revolving Credit Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Revolving Credit Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to make, continue or convert Eurodollar Rate Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02, (iv) any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender (v) the Borrowers are entitled to remove a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 10.01, or (vi) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives any Borrower the right to replace a Revolving Credit Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Revolving Credit Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Revolving Credit Lender, if a Revolving Credit Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) the Borrowers or the assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

172

(ii) such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Revolving Credit Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Revolving Credit Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower Representative to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Each Revolving Credit Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Revolving Credit Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into Law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrowers and other information that will allow such Revolving Credit Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” an anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.

Section 10.19. Judgment Currency.

(a) The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in a specified currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by a Finance Party of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to it under this Agreement or another Loan Document. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as reasonably quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency reasonably designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

175

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, or remit, or cause to be remitted, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange or currency equivalent for this Section 10.19, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

Section 10.20. Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. (a) Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Revolving Credit Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Revolving Credit Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Revolving Credit Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Revolving Credit Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii) shall provide to each Revolving Credit Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Revolving Credit Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.
