AGREEMENTS:

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agree that, subject to the satisfaction of each condition precedent contained in Section 4.1 hereof, the satisfaction of which shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of the Certificate of Effectiveness (as herein defined), the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Date (as herein defined) in its entirety in the form of this Agreement. It is the intention of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agents that this Agreement supersede and replace the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety; provided, that, (a) such amendment and restatement shall operate to renew, amend and modify the rights and obligations of the parties under the Existing Credit Agreement, as provided herein,

but shall not effect a novation thereof, (b) unless otherwise provided for herein and evidenced by a separate written agreement, amendment or release, no other Loan Document, as defined in, and executed and/or delivered pursuant to the terms of, the Existing Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Existing Loan Documents”) shall be amended, terminated or released in any respect and all of such other Existing Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect except that the Borrowers and the Lenders agree that by executing this Agreement the definition of “Credit Agreement” contained in such Existing Loan Documents shall be amended to refer to this Agreement as it may hereafter be amended, modified, renewed or extended in accordance with the terms hereof in place of the Existing Credit Agreement, and (c) the Liens securing the Secured Obligations under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement and granted pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents and the liabilities and obligations of the US Borrowers shall not be extinguished, but shall be carried forward, and such Liens shall secure such Secured Obligations, in each case, as renewed, amended, restated and modified hereby.

Upon delivery of the Certificate of Effectiveness, (a) each US Lender who holds US Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount less than its Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to this amendment and restatement) of all US Revolving Loans shall advance new US Revolving Loans which shall be disbursed to the Administrative Agent and used to repay US Revolving Loans outstanding to each US Lender who holds US Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount greater than its Applicable Percentage of all US Revolving Loans, (b) each Canadian Lender who holds Canadian Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount less than its Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to this amendment and restatement) of all Canadian Revolving Loans shall advance new Canadian Revolving Loans which shall be disbursed to the Canadian Administrative Agent and used to repay Canadian Revolving Loans outstanding to each Canadian Lender who holds Canadian Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount greater than its Applicable Percentage of all Canadian Revolving Loans, (c) each Lender’s participation in each Letter of Credit shall be automatically adjusted to equal its Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to this amendment and restatement), and (d) such other adjustments shall be made as the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall specify so that each Lender’s US Credit Exposure and Canadian Credit Exposure equal its Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to this amendment and restatement) of the Aggregate US Credit Exposure and the Aggregate Canadian Credit Exposure, respectively. The loans and/or adjustments described in this paragraph are referred to herein as the “True-Up Loans”.

(b) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on any Business Day require the US Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which US Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each US Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each US Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such US Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each US Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each US Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to US Revolving Loans made by such US Revolving Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the US Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the US Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative US of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan

shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the US Borrowers (or other party on behalf of the US Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the US Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the US Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the US Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

(c) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative US, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make US Revolving Loans to the US Borrowers, on behalf of the US Revolving Lenders, in amounts that exceed Availability (any such excess US Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “US Overadvances”); provided that, no US Overadvance shall result in a Default due to US Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.1 for so long as such US Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such US Overadvance. In addition, US Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2(c) has not been satisfied. All US Overadvances shall constitute ABR Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make US Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 at any time, each US Overadvance shall mature and be due on the earlier of the Maturity Date, demand by the Administrative Agent and thirty (30) days after such US Overadvance is made and no US Overadvance shall cause any US Revolving Lender’s US Revolving Exposure to exceed its US Revolving Commitment; provided that, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make US Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(d) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative Canada, the Canadian Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrowers, on behalf of the Canadian Lenders, in amounts that exceed Canadian Availability (any such excess Canadian Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “Canadian Overadvances”); provided that, no Canadian Overadvance shall result in a Default due to Canadian Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.1 for so long as such Canadian Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such Canadian Overadvance. In addition, Canadian Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2(c) has not been satisfied. All Canadian Overadvances shall constitute Dollar Denominated ABR Borrowings. The authority of the Canadian Administrative Agent to make Canadian Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,500,000 at any time, each Canadian Overadvance shall mature and be due on the earlier of the Maturity Date, demand by the Canadian Administrative Agent and thirty (30) days after such Canadian Overadvance is made and no Canadian Overadvance shall cause any Canadian Lender’s Canadian Revolving Exposure to exceed its Canadian Revolving

Commitment; provided that, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Canadian Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Canadian Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Canadian Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(e) Upon the making of an Overadvance (i) in the case of a US Overadvance made by the Administrative Agent, each US Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such US Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the US Revolving Commitment, and (ii) in the case of a Canadian Overadvance made by the Canadian Administrative Agent, each Canadian Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Canadian Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Canadian Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Canadian Revolving Commitment. The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) may, at any time, require the Revolving Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender is required to fund its participation in any Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) in respect of such Loan.

(f) Upon the making of a Swingline Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan), each US Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the US Revolving Commitment. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, require the US Revolving Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any US Revolving Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan.

(g) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the US Revolving Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the US Revolving Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 noon Chicago time on the date of such requested Settlement (the “US Settlement Date”). Each US Revolving Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such US Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on such US Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section

4.2 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s US Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute US Revolving Loans of such US Revolving Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any US Revolving Lender on such US Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.7.

Section 2.6 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative US may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of one or more Loan Parties, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by a US Borrower to, or entered into by a US Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Representative US shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (prior to 9:00 am, Chicago time, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, or such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.6(c)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the requesting US Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit each US Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the total US Revolving Exposures shall not exceed (A) the lesser of the total US Revolving Commitments and the US Borrowing Base, minus (B) the Commitment Reserves, minus (C) the Availability Block.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the US Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each US Revolving Lender, and each US Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each US Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the US Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.6(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the US Borrowers for any reason. Each US Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the US Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower Representative US shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative US prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower Representative US receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative US receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $250,000, the US Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 or Section 2.5 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing or Swingline Loan Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the US Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing or Swingline Loan Borrowing. If the US Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each US Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the US Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each US Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the US Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the US Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the US Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the US Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that US Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a US Revolving

Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the US Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The US Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.6(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the US Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the US Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the US Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the US Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the US Borrowers that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the US Borrowers by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the US Borrowers of their obligation to

reimburse the Issuing Bank and the US Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the US Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the US Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the US Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.6(e), then Section 2.13(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any US Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative US, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the US Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the US Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative US receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, US Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the US Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the US Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the LC Shortfall Amount as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the US Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the US Borrowers’ risk and expense, such

deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the US Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of US Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the US Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of a Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the US Borrowers within three (3) Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived.

Section 2.7 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each US Revolving Lender (in the case of any Borrowing of US Revolving Loans) and, subject to Section 2.10(j), each Canadian Lender (in the case of any Borrowing of Canadian Revolving Loans) shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m. (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) and 1:00 p.m. (in the case of ABR, Canadian Prime Rate and B/A Loans), Chicago time, to the account of the Administrative Agent (or the Canadian Administrative Agent in the case of a Borrowing of Canadian Revolving Loans) most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.5. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative US by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the applicable Canadian Funding Account or US Funding Account; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.6(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, subject to Section 2.10(j) with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.7(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable), then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or

(ii) in the case of such Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable), then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.8 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or a B/A Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period or Contract Period (as applicable) as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or a B/A Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods or Contract Periods (as applicable) therefor, all as provided in this Section. The applicable Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loan Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) and signed by the applicable Borrower Representative.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall advise each Lender affected thereby of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If a Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representatives, then, so long as a Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(f) With respect to each B/A Borrowing, at or before 12:00 p.m. (noon), Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx time, three (3) Business Days before the maturity date of such B/As, the Canadian Borrowers shall notify in writing the Canadian Administrative Agent, if the Canadian Borrowers intend to issue B/As on such maturity date to provide for the payment of such maturing B/As. If the Canadian Borrowers fail to notify the Canadian Administrative Agent of their intention to issue B/As on such maturity the Canadian Borrowers shall provide payment to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Lenders of an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such B/As on the maturity date of such B/As. If the Canadian Borrowers fail to make such payment, such maturing B/As shall be deemed to have been converted on their maturity date into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate face amounts of such B/As and the Canadian Borrowers shall on demand jointly and severally pay any losses, costs or penalties that may have been incurred by the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Canadian Lender due to the failure of the Canadian Borrowers to make such payment. No B/A may be rolled over when any Default has occurred and is continuing and the Canadian Administrative Agent has or the Canadian Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such conversion is not appropriate.

(g) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Canadian Borrowers may, prior to the Maturity Date, effective on any Business Day, convert in whole or part, Canadian Prime Rate Loans into B/As or vice versa (but only on the last day of a Contract Period in the case of conversions of B/As) upon giving to the Canadian Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days’ prior notice, provided, that: (i) no Canadian Prime Rate Loan may be converted into a B/A when any Default has occurred and is continuing and the Canadian Administrative Agent has or the Canadian Lenders have determined in its or their sole reasonable discretion that such conversion is not appropriate; and (ii) each conversion pursuant to this paragraph shall be no less than C$500,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of C$100,000. In the case of conversions of Canadian Prime Rate Loans into B/As, the Canadian Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of the Canadian Lender

accepting such B/A, on the date of such conversion an amount equal to (A) the difference between the principal amount of the converted Canadian Prime Rate Loan less the Discount Proceeds plus (B) the Acceptance Fee to which such Canadian Lender is entitled upon acceptance of such B/A. If the Canadian Borrowers shall not have delivered a Borrowing Request in accordance with this paragraph prior to the maturity date then in effect for any B/A Borrowing requesting that such Borrowing be refinanced with another B/A Borrowing or converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, then the Canadian Borrowers shall (unless the Canadian Borrowers have notified the Canadian Administrative Agent, before 11:00 a.m., Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx time, not less than one (1) Business Day prior to such maturity date, that such Borrowing is to be repaid on such maturity date) be deemed to have delivered a Borrowing Request requesting that such Borrowing be refinanced with a new Borrowing of the same amount, and such new Borrowing shall be a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.9 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The US Borrowers may at any time terminate the US Commitments in their entirety upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding US Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) equal to 105% of the LC Shortfall Amount as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees owing by the US Borrowers, and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations of the US Borrowers together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Canadian Borrowers may at any time terminate the Canadian Commitments in their entirety upon (1) the payment in full of all outstanding Canadian Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (2) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees owing by the Canadian Borrowers, and (3) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations of the Canadian Borrowers together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(c) The US Borrowers may from time to time reduce the US Revolving Commitments; provided that (x) each reduction of the US Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and (y) the US Borrowers shall not reduce the US Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the US Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the US Revolving Exposures would exceed (A) the lesser of the total US Revolving Commitments and the US Borrowing Base minus (B) the Commitment Reserves minus (C) the Availability Block. In the event the sum of the total unfunded Commitments plus the aggregate principal amount (without duplication) of Revolving Exposures and other Loans outstanding at any time is reduced to $100,000,000 or less, the Commitments shall terminate and all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable in full.

(d) The applicable Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate the US Commitments or the Canadian Commitments under Section 2.9(b) or to reduce the US Revolving Commitments under Section 2.9(c) at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by a Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by a Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the US Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the US Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective US Revolving Commitments.

(b) The Canadian Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date, (ii) to the Canadian Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Canadian Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Canadian Administrative Agent, and (iii) to the Canadian Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Overadvance on the earlier of the Maturity Date, demand by the Canadian Administrative Agent and the 30th day after such Canadian Overadvance is made.

(c) At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the US Security Agreement, on each Business Day, at or before 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, the Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available funds credited to the Collection Accounts (as defined in the US Security Agreement) other than the Export-Related Collection Account first to prepay any US Protective Advances and US Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the US Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure in an amount equal to 105% of the LC Shortfall Amount.

(d) At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Canadian Security Agreement, on each Business Day, at or before 11:00 a.m., Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx time, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 2.10(j), apply all immediately available funds credited to the Collection Accounts (as defined in the Canadian Security Agreement) first to prepay any Canadian Protective Advances and Canadian Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the Canadian Revolving Loans.

(e) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each US Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the US Borrowers to each US Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the US Lenders and each US Lender’s share thereof.

(g) The Canadian Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Canadian Revolving Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period or Contract Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Canadian Borrowers to each Canadian Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Canadian Lenders and each Canadian Lender’s share thereof.

(h) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.10(e) - Section 2.10(g) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(i) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(j) Subject to Section 2.1(b)(ii), the Canadian Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) make Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrowers notwithstanding the fact that the Borrowing Request therefor does not comply with the delivery

deadlines set forth in Section 2.3. Each Canadian Lender hereby unconditionally agrees to make a settlement regarding any such Canadian Revolving Loans in accordance with this Section. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall on any Canadian Settlement Date, and upon notice given by the Canadian Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx time, request each Canadian Lender to make and each Canadian Lender hereby agrees to make, a Canadian Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Canadian Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Canadian Revolving Loans made by the Canadian Administrative Agent from the preceding Canadian Settlement Date to the date of such notice. Each Canadian Lender’s obligation to make the Canadian Revolving Loans referred to in this Section and to make the settlements pursuant to this Section shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which any such Canadian Lender or the Canadian Borrowers may have against the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Canadian Borrower, any Canadian Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Canadian Borrowers; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Without limiting the liability and obligation of each Canadian Lender to make such advances, the Canadian Borrowers authorize the Canadian Administrative Agent to charge the Canadian Borrower’s account to the extent amounts received from the Canadian Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the amount of any such deficiency. On the Canadian Settlement Date, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lenders shall each remit to the other, in immediately available funds, all amounts necessary so as to ensure that, as of the Canadian Settlement Date, the Canadian Lenders shall have their Applicable Percentage of all outstanding Canadian Revolving Exposure. The Canadian Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Canadian Revolving Exposure of the Canadian Administrative Agent may exceed the amount of its Canadian Revolving Commitment (the “Canadian Administrative Agent Overline”) solely as a result of the Canadian Administrative Agent making advances on behalf of the other Canadian Lenders pending settlement pursuant to this Section, but that such Canadian Administrative Agent Overline shall in no way affect, limit or modify in any respect the other Canadian Lenders’ obligations to settle with the Canadian Administrative Agent provided in this Section. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall, after receipt of any interest and fees earned under this Agreement, promptly remit to the Canadian Lenders their pro rata portion (based on their Applicable Percentages) of any (i) fees they are entitled to receive, and (ii) interest computed at the rate and as provided for in this Agreement on all outstanding amounts advanced by the Canadian Lenders on each Canadian Settlement Date, prior to adjustment for such settlement, which fees and interest are subsequent to the last remittance by the Canadian Administrative Agent to the Canadian Lenders of such interest amounts, provided, however, that, the Canadian Lenders (other than the Canadian Administrative Agent in its role as the agent for and on behalf of the Canadian Lenders) shall not share in any of the fees provided for in any Fee Letter. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall not be permitted to make any B/A Loans or Eurodollar Loans on behalf of the other Canadian Lenders.

Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing (other than B/A Loans) in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.11(g).

(b) Except for US Overadvances permitted under Section 2.5, in the event and on such occasion that the total US Revolving Exposure exceeds (x) the lesser of (A) the aggregate US Revolving Commitments and (B) the US Borrowing Base, minus (y) the Commitment Reserves, minus (z) the Availability Block with respect to the US Revolving Commitments, the US Borrowers shall prepay the US Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) Except for Canadian Overadvances permitted under Section 2.5, in the event and on such occasion that the total Canadian Revolving Exposure exceeds (x) the lesser of (A) the aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments and (B) the Canadian Borrowing Base, minus (y) the Commitment Reserves with respect to the Canadian Revolving Commitments, the Canadian Borrowers shall prepay the Canadian Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(d) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by any Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(e) or Section 2.11(f), as applicable, below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds.

(e) All such amounts prepaid by the US Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.11(d) (as to any insurance or condemnation proceeds, to the extent they arise from casualties or losses to Collateral) shall be applied, first to prepay any US Protective Advances and US Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, second to prepay the US Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the US Revolving Commitments and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure in an amount equal to 105% of the LC Shortfall Amount, third to prepay any Canadian Protective Advances and Canadian Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, fourth to prepay the Canadian Revolving Loans without a corresponding reduction in the Canadian Revolving Commitments, and fifth, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, to repay the Export-Related Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such amounts required to be repaid by the US Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.11(d) (as to any insurance or condemnation proceeds to the extent they arise from casualties or losses to Export-Related Inventory or Proceeds thereof) shall be applied in the manner provided in the Export-Related Loan Agreement to the extent required thereunder, and then as provided in this paragraph. If the precise amount of insurance or condemnation proceeds allocable to Inventory as compared to equipment, fixtures and Real Property is not otherwise determined, the allocation and application of those proceeds shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion.

(f) All such amounts prepaid by the Canadian Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.11(d) (as to any insurance or condemnation proceeds, to the extent they arise from casualties or losses to Collateral) shall be applied, first to prepay any Canadian Protective Advances and Canadian Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the Canadian Revolving Loans without a corresponding reduction in the Canadian Revolving Commitments.

(g) the applicable Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.9, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.9. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a US Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the US Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any US Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a US Revolving Loan Borrowing, as applicable, of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a US Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the US Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

(h) The Canadian Borrowers shall notify the Canadian Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.9, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.9. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall advise the Canadian Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a Canadian Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Canadian Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

Section 2.12 Fees.

(a) The US Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each US Revolving Lender a commitment fee computed at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the aggregate Available US Revolving Commitments during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the US Revolving Commitments terminate. The Canadian Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Canadian Administrative

Agent for the account of each Canadian Lender a commitment fee computed at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the aggregate Available Canadian Revolving Commitments during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Canadian Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month in respect of the previous calendar month and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.

(b) The US Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each US Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such US Lender’s US Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such US Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the US Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar month shall be payable on the first Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the US Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the US Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The US Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.13 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) The Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(d) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance (i) made in Dollars shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans plus 2% or (ii) made in C$ shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Canadian Prime Rate Loans plus 2%.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to a Borrower Representative (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 2.9 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder.

(f) Accrued interest on each ABR Loan, Eurodollar Loan and Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.13(e) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(g) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to (i) the Canadian Prime Rate or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h) Solely for purposes of determining the amount of interest which accrues and is payable in respect of Revolving Loans, payments of principal will be deemed to be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans on the first Business Day

following receipt by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) of collected funds.

Section 2.14 Bankers’ Acceptances.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Canadian Borrowers may request Borrowings of Canadian Revolving Loans by presenting drafts for acceptance and purchase as B/As by the Canadian Lenders.

(b) To facilitate availment of B/A Borrowings, the Canadian Borrowers hereby appoint each Canadian Lender as their attorney-in-fact to sign and endorse on their behalf, in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Canadian Lender, blank forms of B/As in the form requested by such Canadian Lender. In this respect, it is each Canadian Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. The Canadian Borrowers recognize and agree that all B/As signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Canadian Lender shall jointly and severally bind the Canadian Borrowers as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of each Canadian Borrower. Each Canadian Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Canadian Lender, provided, that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of B/As required to be accepted and purchased by such Canadian Lender. No Canadian Lender or any Affiliate thereof shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Canadian Lender or its Affiliate, as applicable, or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. Each Canadian Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (i) received by it in blank hereunder, (ii) voided by it for any reason, (iii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder and (iv) canceled at their respective maturities. Each Canadian Lender further agrees to retain such records in the manner and for the statutory periods provided in the various provincial or federal statutes and regulations which apply to such Canadian Lender. Each Canadian Lender agrees to provide a copy of such records to the Canadian Borrowers at the Canadian Borrowers’ expense upon request. On request by or on behalf of the Canadian Borrowers, a Canadian Lender shall cancel all forms of B/As which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Canadian Borrowers and which are held by such Canadian Lender and are not required to be issued in accordance with the Canadian Borrowers’ irrevocable notice. The Canadian Borrowers agree that, at the request of the Canadian Administrative Agent, they shall deliver to the Canadian Administrative Agent a “depository note” which complies with the requirements of the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada) and consents to the deposit of any such depository note in the book-based clearance system maintained by the Canadian Depository for Securities.

(c) Drafts of the Canadian Borrowers to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall be signed as set forth in this Section 2.14. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any B/A may no longer be an authorized signatory for any Canadian Lender or the Canadian Borrowers at the date of issuance of a B/A, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such B/A so signed shall be binding on the Canadian Borrowers.

(d) Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request or notice of rollover by way of B/As, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall so advise the Canadian Lenders and shall advise each Canadian Lender of the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by it and the applicable Contract Period (which shall be identical for all Canadian Lenders). The aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by the Canadian Lenders in respect of any Borrowing or rollover of B/A Loans shall be not less than C$500,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of C$100,000.

(e) Upon acceptance of a B/A by a Canadian Lender, such Canadian Lender shall purchase, or arrange the purchase of, such B/A from the Canadian Borrowers at the Discount Rate for such Canadian Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to Canadian Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds for the account of the Canadian Borrowers in which event an Acceptance Fee shall be payable by the Canadian Borrowers to such Canadian Lender in respect of such B/A and shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable by such Canadian Lender under this Section.

(f) Each Canadian Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all B/As accepted and purchased by it.

(g) If a Canadian Lender is not a chartered bank under the Bank Act (Canada) or if a Canadian Lender notifies the Canadian Administrative Agent in writing that it is otherwise unable or unwilling to accept B/As, such Canadian Lender will, instead of accepting and purchasing B/As, purchase from the Canadian Borrowers a non-interest bearing note denominated in C$ (a “B/A Equivalent Note”), in the form of Exhibit K, issued by the Canadian Borrowers in the amount and for the same term as the draft which such Canadian Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Canadian Lender will provide to the Canadian Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds of such B/A Equivalent Note for the account of any Canadian Borrower. Each such B/A Equivalent Note will bear interest at the same rate which would result if such Canadian Lender had accepted (and been paid an Acceptance Fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis) a B/A for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such B/A Equivalent Note shall have the same economic consequences for the Canadian Lenders and any Canadian Borrower as the B/A which such B/A Equivalent Note replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such B/A Loan is made, and will be deducted from the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Note in the same manner in which the Discount Proceeds of a B/A would be deducted from the face amount of the B/A. Subject to repayment requirements, on the last day of the relevant Contract Period for such B/A Equivalent Note, any Canadian Borrower shall be entitled to convert each such B/A Equivalent Note into another type of Loan, or to roll over each such B/A Equivalent Note into another B/A Equivalent Note, all in accordance with the corresponding provisions of this Agreement which relate to B/As.

(h) The Canadian Borrowers waive presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a Canadian Lender in respect of a B/A accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of such B/A being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Canadian Lender in its own right and the Canadian Borrowers agree not to claim any days of grace if such Canadian Lender as holder sues the Canadian Borrowers on the B/A for payment of the amount payable by the Canadian Borrowers

thereunder. On the specified maturity date of a B/A, or such earlier date as may be required or permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Canadian Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay, through the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Lender that has accepted and purchased such B/A the full face amount of such B/A and after such payment, the Canadian Borrowers shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Canadian Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.

(i) If a Canadian Lender grants a participation in a portion of its rights under this Agreement to a participant under Section 9.4, then in respect of any B/A Borrowing, a portion thereof may, at the option of such Canadian Lender, be by way of B/A accepted by such participant. In such event, the Canadian Borrowers shall upon request of the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Canadian Lender granting the participation execute and deliver a form of B/A indemnity in favor of such participant for delivery to such participant.

(j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no B/A may be prepaid prior to the maturity date thereof, except as provided in Article VII(s)(iii).

Section 2.15 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to a Borrower Representative and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies a Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.16 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income or that are franchise taxes or branch profit taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.16(a) or Section 2.16(b) shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies such Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to

claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.17 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or B/A Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period or Contract Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or B/A Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period or Contract Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or B/A Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.9(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or B/A Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period or Contract Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Canadian Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any US Lender in respect of losses arising with respect to US Loans.

Section 2.18 Taxes.

(a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it or any Loan Party is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent or any Loan Party may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.18), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, a Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt, if any, issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.18(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.18(d) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Recipient delivers to a Borrower Representative a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.18(e) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative US and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative US or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative US or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Representative US or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative US or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative US or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.18(f)(ii) through (iii) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice

the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative US or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.18(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower Representative US and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative US and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative US and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is the beneficial owner of the payments under this Agreement and is claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is the beneficial owner of the payments under this Agreement and is for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is the beneficial owner of the payments under this Agreement and is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a tax certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M to the effect that such Lender is not a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, b) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a

participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a tax certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.18(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certificate or promptly notify the Borrower Representative US and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.18), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any

indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.18(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.18(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Issuing Bank. For purposes of Section 2.18(e) and (f), the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank.

All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars (unless such payment is a payment of principal or interest on C$ Denominated Loans, in which case such payments shall be made in C$). At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the US Security Agreement, solely for purposes of determining the amount of US Revolving Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks and cash or other immediately available funds from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral owned by the US Borrowers shall be applied in whole or in part against the Obligations, on the day of receipt, subject to actual collection.

The Canadian Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Canadian Secured Obligations.

(d) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.3), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative US pursuant to Section 2.3 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of a US Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. The US Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees owing by the US Borrowers as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute US Loans (including Swingline Loans and US Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a US Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.3) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Section 2.3, Section 2.4 or Section 2.5, as applicable and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any US Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees owing by the US Borrowers as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

(e) At the election of the Canadian Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.3), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative Canada pursuant to Section 2.3 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of a Canadian Borrower maintained with the Canadian Administrative Agent. The Canadian Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize (i) the Canadian Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees owing by the Canadian Borrowers as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Canadian Loans (including Canadian Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Canadian Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.3) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Section 2.3, Section 2.4 or Section 2.5, as applicable and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Canadian Borrower maintained with the Canadian Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees owing by the Canadian Borrowers as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

(f) If any US Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other US Lender, then the US Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other US Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the US Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective US Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the US Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a US Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrowers (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any US Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such US Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(g) If any Canadian Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Canadian Revolving Loans resulting in such Canadian Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Canadian Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Canadian Lender, then the Canadian Lender receiving such

greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Canadian Revolving Loans of other Canadian Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Canadian Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Canadian Revolving Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Canadian Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Canadian Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Canadian Revolving Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrowers (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Canadian Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Canadian Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(h) Unless the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable), at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(i) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.20 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or any Change in Law, then:

(a) such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16, Section 2.18 or such Change in Law, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (and the Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment);

(b) the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, require such Lender or any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender (herein, a “Departing Lender”), upon notice to the Departing Lender and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable), to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank) or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) the Departing Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, 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) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18 or a Change in Law, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Departing Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.21 Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, any Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by any Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.22 Borrowings of Revolving Loans to Satisfy Secured Obligations. Each of the Borrowers and each Lender hereby agree with the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and each other Lender that, on each date on which any payment of interest, fees, principal or other amounts are due and owing hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable)

may, in its sole discretion, but without any obligation to do so and subject to all other terms of this Agreement (other than any request for delivery of a Borrowing Request hereunder) cause (a) with respect to a payment in connection with any US Loan, a Borrowing of Swingline Loans to the extent available, and thereafter such Borrowings shall be US Revolving Loans which shall be ABR Loans, or (b) with respect to a payment in connection with a Canadian Revolving Loan, a Borrowing of Canadian Revolving Loans which shall be ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, each to be made on such date in an amount sufficient to satisfy in full all such payments of interest, fees or other amounts which are then due hereunder and, subject to Section 2.10(j) with respect to the Canadian Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall disburse the proceeds of such Borrowing to itself and each applicable Lender, as applicable to satisfy all such obligations and liabilities which are then due and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall give the Borrowers prompt notice of any such Borrowings.

Section 2.23 Joint and Several Liability; Rights of Contribution.

(a) Each US Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement, the US Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on a consolidated basis to the same extent possible if they were merged into a single corporate entity; (ii) each US Borrower has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of the Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder and a desire of each US Borrower that each US Borrower execute and deliver to Administrative Agent and Lenders this Agreement; and (iv) each US Borrower has requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the advances contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Each US Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full and prompt payment and performance of the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and each other Loan Document that may specify that a particular Borrower is responsible for a given payment or performance; (ii) agrees to fully and promptly perform all of its obligations hereunder with respect to each advance of credit hereunder as if such advance had been made directly to it; and (iii) agrees as a primary obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and each Lender, on demand for and against any loss incurred by any such Agent or any Lender as a result of any of the obligations of any Borrower (the “Subject Borrower”) being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to the Subject Borrower or any Person, the amount of such loss being the amount which the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or any of them) would otherwise have been entitled to recover from the Borrower.

(c) Each Canadian Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement, the Canadian Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on a consolidated basis to the same extent possible if they were merged into a single corporate entity; (ii) each Canadian Borrower has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of the Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder and a desire of each

Canadian Borrower that each Canadian Borrower execute and deliver to Administrative Agent and Lenders this Agreement; and (iv) each Canadian Borrower has requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the advances contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Each Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full and prompt payment and performance of the obligations of each Canadian Borrower under this Agreement and each other Loan Document that may specify that a particular Canadian Borrower is responsible for a given payment or performance; (ii) agrees to fully and promptly perform all of its obligations hereunder with respect to each advance of credit hereunder to a Canadian Borrower as if such advance had been made directly to it; and (iii) agrees as a primary obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and each Canadian Lender, on demand for and against any loss incurred by any such Agent or any Canadian Lender as a result of any of the obligations of any Canadian Borrower (the “Subject Canadian Borrower”) being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to the Subject Canadian Borrower or any Person, the amount of such loss being the amount which the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Canadian Lenders (or any of them) would otherwise have been entitled to recover from the Subject Canadian Borrower.

(e) It is the intent of each US Borrower that the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents of each of them not be subject to challenge on any basis related to any federal or state law dealing with fraudulent conveyances or any other law related to transfers for less than fair or reasonably equivalent value. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the liability of each US Borrower under this Section 2.23 together with all of its other liabilities to all persons as of the date hereof and as of any other date on which a transfer is deemed to occur by virtue of this Agreement, calculated in amount sufficient to pay its probable net liabilities on its existing indebtedness as the same become absolute and matured (“Dated Liabilities”) is and is to be, less than the amount of the aggregate of a fair valuation of its property as of such corresponding date (“Dated Assets”). To this end, each US Borrower under this Section 2.23 (i) grants to and recognizes in each other US Borrower ratably, rights of subrogation and contribution in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Assets of such US Borrower, but for the aggregate rights of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Liabilities of such US Borrower and (ii) acknowledges receipt of and recognizes its right to subrogation and contribution ratably from the other US Borrowers in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Liabilities of such US Borrower, but for the aggregate of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Assets of such US Borrower under this Section 2.23. In recognizing the value of the Dated Assets and the Dated Liabilities, it is understood that each US Borrower will recognize, to at least the same extent of their aggregate recognition of liabilities hereunder, their rights to subrogation and contribution hereunder. It is a material objective of this Section 2.23 that each US Borrower recognizes rights to subrogation and contribution rather than be deemed to be insolvent (or in contemplation thereof) by reason of an arbitrary interpretation of its joint and several obligations hereunder.

(f) Each Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the present structure of the credit facilities detailed in this Agreement is based in part upon the financial and other

information presently known to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Lenders regarding each Borrower, the corporate structure of the Borrowers, and the present financial condition of each Borrower. Each Borrower hereby agrees that the Required Lenders shall have the right, in their sole credit judgment, to require that any or all of the following changes be made to these credit facilities: (i) further restrict loans and advances between the Borrowers, (ii) establish separate lockbox and Controlled Disbursement Accounts for each Borrower, (iii) separate the Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans into separate revolving credit loans to each of the Borrowers as shall be determined by the Required Lenders, and (iv) establish such other procedures as shall be reasonably deemed by the Required Lenders to be useful in tracking where Loans are made under this Agreement and the source of payments received by the Lenders on such Loans.

Section 2.24 Increase of Commitments.

(a) If no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, since January 31, 2011, the Borrowers may at any time from time to time prior to the Maturity Date request one or more increases of the US Revolving Commitments or Canadian Revolving Commitments by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of such proposed increase (each such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”); provided, however, that, (i) neither the US Revolving Commitment nor the Canadian Revolving Commitment of any Lender may be increased without such Lender’s consent, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments as so increased shall not exceed $375,000,000, (iii) the Canadian Revolving Commitments as so increased shall not exceed $35,000,000 in the aggregate, and (iv) the Revolving Commitments may not be increased without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) The Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, but with the consent of the Administrative Agent as to any Person that is not at such time a Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), offer to any existing Lender or to one or more additional banks or financial institutions the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the increased US Revolving Commitments and/or Canadian Revolving Commitments, by notifying the Administrative Agent; provided, that the US Revolving Commitment of any New Lender shall not be less than $15,000,000 (and shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000) and the Canadian Revolving Commitment of any New Lender shall not be less than $10,000,000; provided, further that after giving effect to any increase in the commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24, all Revolving Lenders, including any new Revolving Lender (together with its Related Affiliates) shall have pro rata Revolving Commitments with respect to the US Revolving Commitments and Canadian Revolving Commitments. Promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice from the Borrowers of their desire to offer such commitments to certain existing Lenders or to the additional banks or financial institutions identified therein, the Administrative Agent shall notify such proposed lenders of the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the increased US Revolving Commitments or Canadian Revolving Commitments.

(c) Any existing Lender that accepts the Borrowers’ offer to increase its US Revolving Commitment or Canadian Revolving Commitment shall execute a Commitment

Increase Agreement with the Borrowers and Agents, whereupon such Lender shall be bound by, and entitled to the benefits of, this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its US Revolving Commitment or Canadian Revolving Commitment, as applicable, as so increased.

(d) Any additional bank or financial institution which is not an existing Lender and which accepts Borrowers’ offer to participate in the increased US Revolving Commitments or Canadian Revolving Commitments shall execute and deliver to the Agents and the Borrowers a New Lender Agreement setting forth its US Revolving Commitment or Canadian Revolving Commitment (subject to the limitations on the amounts thereof set forth herein), and upon the effectiveness of such New Lender Agreement such bank or financial institution (a “New Lender”) shall become a US Revolving Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and the signature pages hereof shall be deemed to be amended to add the name of such New Lender.

(e) Upon any increase in the US Revolving Commitments or Canadian Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24, the Commitment Schedule shall be deemed amended to reflect the US Revolving Commitment and Canadian Revolving Commitment of each Lender (including any New Lender) as thereby increased.

Section 2.25 Illegality.

(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be reasonably exercised and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) at any time that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), then, in any such event, the Lender shall give prompt notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to the other Lenders).

(b) Upon the giving of the notice to the Borrowers referred to in paragraph (a) above, (i) the Borrowers’ right to request (by continuation, conversion or otherwise) and such Lender’s obligation to make Eurodollar Loans shall be immediately suspended, and thereafter, any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed to be a request for an ABR Loan, and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan or Loans are then outstanding, the Borrowers shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one Business Day’s written notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender, convert each such Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, provided, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this subsection.

(c) In the event that any Canadian Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be reasonably exercised and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) at any time that the making or continuance of any Dollar Denominated Loan has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Canadian Lender in

good faith with any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), then, in any such event, the Canadian Lender shall give prompt notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Canadian Borrowers and to the Canadian Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to the other Canadian Lenders).

(d) Upon the giving of the notice to the Canadian Borrowers referred to in paragraph (c) above, (i) the Canadian Borrowers’ right to request (by continuation, conversion or otherwise) and such Canadian Lender’s obligation to make Dollar Denominated Loans shall be immediately suspended, and thereafter, any requested Borrowing of Dollar Denominated Loans shall, as to such Canadian Lender only, be deemed to be a request for a Canadian Revolving Loan, and (ii) if the affected Dollar Denominated Loan or Loans are then outstanding, the Canadian Borrowers shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one Business Day’s written notice to the Canadian Administrative Agent and the affected Canadian Lender, convert each such Dollar Denominated Loan which is a Eurodollar Loan into a B/A Loan and convert each such Dollar Denominated Loan which is an ABR Loan into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, provided, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this subsection.

Section 2.26 Senior Notes. To the extent the Senior Notes have not been (a) repaid, repurchased or defeased in full, or (b) refinanced or extended to have a scheduled maturity date at least ninety (90) days after December 23, 2016, in each case to the extent permitted hereunder and prior to the Senior Notes Trigger Date, then:

(i) the Ansary Related Parties who hold Senior Notes then outstanding may execute and deliver one or more agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the “Noteholder Agreement”), pursuant to which such Ansary Related Parties shall have irrevocably agreed with respect to the Senior Notes held by such Ansary Related Parties (x) to customary subordination, including permanent standstill provisions with respect to any enforcement of any remedial actions that may be taken by the noteholders, or by the trustee on their behalf, under the Senior Notes until at least ninety (90) days after December 23, 2016 and (y) that contemporaneously with the payment, prepayment or repurchase of the Senior Notes for which the Availability Block has been established, the scheduled maturity of the remaining Senior Notes then outstanding shall be extended to a date not less than ninety (90) days after December 23, 2016; provided that nothing in the forgoing shall restrict the Borrowers’ ability to prepay Senior Notes subject to the Noteholder Agreement, and Ansary Related Parties’ right to receive and keep proceeds of such prepayment, so long as the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.8(b)(v) are satisfied;

(ii) On the Senior Notes Trigger Date, the Administrative Agent shall establish an Availability block in an amount equal to (x) the amount then outstanding of Senior Notes not then owned and controlled by the Ansary Related Parties and not subject to the Noteholder Agreement or (y) the amount of all Senior Notes then outstanding to the extent the Borrowers have not provided a Noteholder Agreement as of

the Senior Notes Trigger Date (in each case, the “Availability Block”); provided that after giving effect to the establishment of the Availability Block, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay any amount required pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (a failure to make any such payment being an immediate Event of Default pursuant to clause (a) of Article VII). The Availability Block will be removed by the Administrative Agent to allow for the Borrowers to repay, prepay or purchase the Senior Notes for which the Availability Block has been established; provided that (1) the terms and conditions under Section 6.8(b)(v) have been satisfied and the Borrowers are in compliance with such terms and conditions immediately prior to and after giving effect to such repayment, prepayment or purchase and (2) contemporaneously with such repayment, prepayment or purchase, the scheduled maturity of the remaining Senior Notes then outstanding shall be extended to a date not less than ninety (90) days after December 23, 2016, and the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of the Borrowers’ compliance with such conditions.

Section 2.27 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.2(b)) and the Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (1) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (2) none of the non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure will exceed its applicable Revolving Commitment, in each case after giving effect to such reallocation;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.6(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.27(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.27(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit and the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, unless the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on the date of such readjustment such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

The Transactions are within each Loan Party’s corporate or limited liability company powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company and, if required, stockholder action. The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(a) Current Financials. The Current Financials were prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date such Current Financials are delivered (subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and year-end audit adjustments which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material) and fairly present the consolidated and consolidating financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods reflected therein.

(b) Historical Financials. The Borrowers have heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2008, January 31, 2009, January 31, 2010 and January 31, 2011 reported on by Ernst & Young, independent public accountants, (ii) management prepared consolidated and consolidating financial statements for the Company for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2008, January 31, 2009, January 31, 2010 and January 31, 2011, and (iii) management prepared interim consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Company for the fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2011, certified by its chief financial officer.

Such projections were prepared in good faith in accordance with sound financial planning practices on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were believed by the Borrowers to be reasonable at the time made and which the Borrowers continue to believe are reasonable on the date hereof.

(b) Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property necessary to its business as currently conducted, a correct and complete list of which, as of the date of this Agreement, is set forth on Schedule 3.5, and the use thereof by the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries does not infringe in any material respect upon the rights of any other Person, and the Loan Parties’ rights thereto are not subject to any licensing agreement or similar arrangement.

Section 3.6 Litigation and Environmental Matters.

(a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or any of the Collateral (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters (i) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability and (ii) and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (A) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or (B) has become subject to any Environmental Liability.

(ii) all right, title and interests of the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Other Secured Parties in and to the Export-Related Priority Collateral, including, without limitation, all right, title and interest in and to the Export-Related Priority Collateral arising under or pursuant to any and all Liens securing the Secured Obligations (other than the Export-Related Obligations) now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Other Secured Parties shall in

137

all respects be junior and subordinate to all right, title and interests of the Export-Related Lender in and to such Export-Related Priority Collateral.

Section 9.2 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by any Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or the Export-Related Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Export-Related Lender hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.2(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or

140

agreements in writing entered into by the Agent party thereto and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) (provided that the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances as set forth in Section 2.4), (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.19(b), Section 2.19(c), Section 2.19(f) or Section 2.19(g) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (E) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of US Borrowing Base or Canadian Borrowing Base, add new categories of eligible assets or modify the definitions applicable to existing categories of eligible assets in a manner that would have the effect of increasing Availability, without the written consent of the Supermajority Revolving Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), (F) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (G) release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (H) consent to the assignment of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party, without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (I) change Section 2.27, without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (J) except as provided in Section 9.2(d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), and release all or substantially all of the Export-Related Priority Collateral without the consent of the Export-Related Lender or (K) except as permitted under Section 6.2, subordination of all or substantially all of the Liens to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, or the Secured Obligations, without the written consent of the Supermajority Revolving Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Export-Related Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Export-Related Lender as the case may be. The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.4.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the US Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent (as applicable), at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the US Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent (as applicable) by the

141

Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the US Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent (as applicable) that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the Export-Related Financing Documents (and the US Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent (as applicable) may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agents, the Lenders or the Export-Related Lender pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the US Collateral Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral other than the Export-Related Priority Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders or any Liens on the Export-Related Priority Collateral without the prior written consent of the Export-Related Lender; provided that, the US Collateral Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent may in their discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $10,000,000 (other than Export-Related Priority Collateral) during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 9.4(b), and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Section 2.16 and Section 2.18, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.17 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

(e) For purposes of clarity, the representations, warranties, covenants, defaults and other provisions of the Export-Related Financing Documents are independent of the representations, warranties, covenants, defaults and other provisions of the Loan Documents (except for the US Security Agreement, which constitutes both an Export-Related Financing

142

Document and a Loan Document) and no amendment, modifications, waiver or consent granted pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be effective for purposes of the Export-Related Financing documents (or vice versa) and no act or omission of any Loan Party which is permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents will, solely as a result of being permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents be deemed to be permitted pursuant to the Export-Related Financing Documents (or vice versa).

Section 9.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by each Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P., and local counsel in applicable jurisdictions, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or the Export-Related Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or the Export-Related Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) appraisals and environmental reports;

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination;

(iii) lien and title searches and title insurance;

(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the US Collateral Agent’s and the Canadian Collateral Agent’s Liens;

(v) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take;

(vi) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral; and

143

(vii) fees and other charges assessed by the Ex-Im Bank, including, without limitation, all facility fees and application fees.

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.19(d).

(b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.3(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by any of them to any Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b), each Lender severally agrees to pay such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such; provided, further, that if such amount is required to be paid to the US Collateral Agent, the Export-Related Lender shall pay its proportionate share of such amount determined based on the proportion of the Export-Related Obligations to the total US Secured Obligations.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

144

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

Section 9.4 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 9.4(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9.4(b)(ii) below, any Lender may 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 Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower Representative US, provided that the Borrower Representative US shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and provided further that no consent of the Borrower Representative US shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent; and

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning 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 and the Canadian Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the

145

Borrower Representative US, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative US shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s (or its Related Affiliate’s) rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that the assignment of any part of all the assigning Lender’s (or its Related Affiliate’s) rights and obligations in respect of Commitments or Loans shall require (1) a pro rata assignment of such assigning Lender’s (or its Related Affiliate’s) participation interests under the Export-Related Loan Agreement and such assigning Lender’s (or its Related Affiliate’s) Canadian Commitments or Canadian Loans if such assigning Lender is a US Lender and (2) a pro rata assignment of such assigning Lender’s (or its Related Affiliate’s) participation interests under the Export-Related Loan Agreement and such assigning Lender’s (or its Related Affiliate’s) US Commitments or US Loans if such assigning Lender is a Canadian Lender;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(E) in the case of an assignment of US Revolving Commitments, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Participation Agreement to the extent required by Section 8.10.

For the purposes of this Section 9.4(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.4(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease

146

to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 9.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with this Section 9.4(c).

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each 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, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.4(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.4(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.5, Section 2.6(d), Section 2.6(e), Section 2.7(b), Section 2.19(f), Section 2.19(g) or Section 9.3(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to

147

any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.2(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 2.18 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.18(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.18(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (1) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 and Section 2.20 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (2) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or Section 2.18, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(ii) To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.19(d) and Section 2.19(e), as applicable, as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent (in their capacity as administrative agents) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Nothing contained herein shall restrict the right of the Export-Related Lender to assign or transfer all or any part of its obligations hereunder to the Ex-Im Bank.

Section 9.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be

148

considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 9.3 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.6 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents 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. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent and when such Agents shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Section 9.7 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.8 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any of and all the Secured Obligations (other than the Export-Related Obligations) held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender

149

shall notify the Borrower Representative US, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section; provided further that no Lender shall exercise any right of setoff with respect to any deposit of any Canadian Borrower to satisfy Obligations other than those Obligations of the Canadian Borrowers. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 9.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 9.9(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding, there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Borrower or Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received 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 the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from a Borrower or Loan Party under this paragraph shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents.

Should any Lender or the Export-Related Lender (other than the US Collateral Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the US Collateral Agent thereof, and,

152

promptly upon the US Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the US Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the US Collateral Agent’s instructions.

Section 9.18 Interest Rate Limitation.

Section 9.19 No Financial Assistance by Canadian Loan Parties. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, no Canadian Loan Party will have any liability hereunder or thereunder for, nor shall any of the assets of any such Canadian Loan Party (including proceeds of any Collateral owned by any such Canadian Loan Party) be applied against or issued to satisfy or offset, any indebtedness, obligations or liabilities (actual or contingent) of any Person which is not indebtedness, an obligation, or a liability of a Canadian Loan Party; provided, that, nothing contained herein shall limit or impair the rights of any Agent, any Lender or any Other Secured Party or the liability or obligation of any Canadian Loan Party with respect to its Obligations, including, without limitation, any Swap Agreements or any agreements related to Banking Services entered into with any Canadian Loan Party.

ARTICLE X
LOAN GUARANTY

Section 10.1 Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor now or hereafter a party hereto hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders, the Export-Related Lender and the Other Secured Parties the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and

153

expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Export-Related Lender and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrowers, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender and the Export-Related Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 10.2 Limitation. Notwithstanding Section 10.1 to the contrary, the obligations of any Loan Guarantors organized under the laws of Canada under this Guaranty shall be limited to that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations relating to the Canadian Borrowers and the other Canadian Loan Parties and represented by the Canadian Secured Obligations.

Section 10.3 Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Agents, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, the Export-Related Lender and/or any Other Secured Parties to xxx the Borrowers, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 10.4 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.

(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, any Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, the Export-Related Lender and/or Other Secured Parties or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

154

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, the Export-Related Lender and any Other Secured Parties to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by any Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, the Export-Related Lender and any Other Secured Parties with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

Section 10.5 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any other person. The US Collateral Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent may, at their election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

Section 10.6 Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Export-Related Lender and any Other Secured Parties.

Section 10.7 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned

155

upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Export-Related Lender and any Other Secured Parties are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender, the Export-Related Lender, any Other Secured Parties and the Issuing Bank.

Section 10.8 Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither any Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender or the Export-Related Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

Section 10.9 Termination. Each Loan Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Loan Guaranty is irrevocable until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. The Lenders and the Export-Related Lender may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders and the Export-Related Lender for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed from time to time, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of that Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 10.10 Taxes. All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Export-Related Lender and any Other Secured Parties (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions and (c) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

Section 10.11 Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors, the Lenders, the Export-Related Lender or any Other Secured Parties, be

156

automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders and the Export-Related Lender to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Export-Related Lender or any Other Secured Parties hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

Section 10.12 Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s applicable percentage of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s applicable percentage with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (a) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (b) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of all of the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Export-Related Lender, any Other Secured Parties and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 10.13 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Export-Related Lender, any Other Secured Parties and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without

157

any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

ARTICLE XI

Section 11.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The Company is hereby appointed by (a) each of the US Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower Representative US”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the US Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative US to act as the contractual representative of such US Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and (b) each of the Canadian Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower Representative Canada”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Canadian Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative Canada to act as the contractual representative of such Canadian Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each of the Borrowers further irrevocably authorizes both Borrower Representatives to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.2 Powers. The Borrower Representatives shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representatives by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 11.3 Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representatives may execute any of their duties as the Borrower Representatives hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through authorized officers.
