Person, in the case of a Person that is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by the owners of

3.4 General Terms of Letters of Credit. (a) Each Acquisition Facility Letter of
Credit and each Dollar Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit is to be denominated only in United
States Dollars. Each Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit is to be denominated only in

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall, subject to Section 3.4(c), expire no later than ninety (90) days
after the date of issuance (or extension), unless such Letter of Credit is, subject to the Dollar Long Tenor
Letter of Credit Sub-Limit (with respect to a Dollar Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit) or the
Multicurrency Long Tenor Letter of Credit Sub-Limit (with respect to a Multicurrency Working Capital
Facility Letter of Credit), a Long Tenor Letter of Credit, or, subject to the Dollar Performance Letter of
Credit Sub-Limit (with respect to a Dollar Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit) or the Multicurrency
Performance Letter of Credit Sub-Limit (with respect to a Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Letter

the earlier of three hundred sixty-four (364) days after the date of issuance and the Termination Date
applicable thereto; provided that (i) at any time, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all
Letters of Credit issued with an expiration date after the Termination Date applicable thereto shall not
exceed $300,000,000; (ii) all Letters of Credit with an expiration date after the Termination Date
applicable thereto shall be returned and cancelled (with the beneficiaryβs consent) or Cash Collateralized

(c) Upon request by any Borrower in the applicable Letter of Credit Request, the relevant
Issuing Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic
renewal provisions (each, an βAuto-Renewal Letter of Creditβ). Unless otherwise agreed upon by the
applicable Issuing Lender at its sole discretion, the applicable Borrower shall make a specific request to
such Issuing Lender for any renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit, such prior notice to be
delivered to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as
applicable, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination date of such Auto-Renewal
Letter of Credit (the date of the delivery of such notice, the βRenewal Notice Dateβ); provided that, unless
otherwise agreed upon by the applicable Issuing Lender at its sole discretion, the applicable Borrower
shall provide to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (in the case of Letters of
Credit denominated in United States Dollars) or Canadian Agent (in the case of Letters of Credit

of Credit no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination date of such Auto-Renewal
Letter of Credit (the date of the delivery of such notice, the βNon-Renewal Notice Dateβ). Once an Auto-
Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued (or is permitted to be outstanding hereunder in the case of an
outstanding Letter of Credit that is an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit), the Lenders shall be deemed to
have authorized (but the Lenders may not require) such Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such
Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than six (6) months after the Termination Date; provided,
however, that no Issuing Lender shall permit any renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit if (A) such
Issuing Lender has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit
in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 3.4 or 6.2 or
otherwise), (B) after giving effect to any such renewal, the earlier of the (x) expiration date of such Auto-
Β
93
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
Renewal Letter of Credit and (y) the next occurring Non-Renewal Notice Date of such Auto-Renewal
Letter of Credit would occur after the date that is six (6) months after the Termination Date, or (C) it has
received notice in writing on or before the date that is two (2) Business Days before the Renewal Notice
Date from the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, any Lender or the applicable Borrower that one
or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.4 or 6.2 is not then satisfied. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to permit the
renewal of any Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit at any time if any of the applicable conditions specified in
Section 6.2 is not then satisfied.
(d) If any Issuing Lender (other than JPMorgan Chase Bank or an Affiliate thereof) shall
issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit without obtaining prior consent of the Administrative Agent
or Canadian Agent, as applicable (as provided in Section 3.3(d)), or if any Issuing Lender (other than, in
the case of clause (i) below, JPMorgan Chase Bank or an Affiliate thereof) shall permit the extension or
renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit (i) without giving timely prior notice to the Administrative
Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, or (ii) when such extension or renewal is not permitted
hereunder (as provided in sub-section (c) above), such Letter of Credit (A) shall for all purposes be
deemed to have been issued by such Issuing Lender solely for its own account and risk and (B) shall not
be considered a Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement, and no Lender shall be deemed to
have any participation therein, effective as of the date of such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal,
as the case may be, unless the Required Lenders expressly consent thereto; provided, however, that to be
considered a Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement, the consent of all Lenders shall be
required to the extent that any such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal is not then permitted
hereunder by reason of the provisions of this Section 3.4.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Issuing Lender is under no obligation
to issue or provide any Letter of Credit (including any renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit) or
renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless consented to by such Issuing Lender and the

96
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such Relevant L/C Participant shall return to such
Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it in like funds
received.
3.7 Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers. (a) Upon receipt by the relevant
Issuing Lender from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing or demand for
payment under such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower
that requested such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent (or in the case of Letters of Credit
denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Agent) thereof. If such Borrower receives notice
(confirmed by telephone) from such Issuing Lender of a drawing or demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Business Day, such Borrower shall reimburse
such Issuing Lender on such Business Day for the Unreimbursed Amount of such Letter of Credit. If such
Borrower receives notice (confirmed by telephone) from such Issuing Lender of a drawing or demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit at or after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Business Day, such
Borrower shall so reimburse such Issuing Lender on the Business Day immediately following the
Business Day upon which such notice was received by such Borrower. Such reimbursement shall be made
directly to such Issuing Lender in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was drawn in an amount
equal to (i) the amount so paid and (ii) any Non-Excluded Taxes and any reasonable fees, charges or other
costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender at its Applicable Lending Office in immediately
available funds (such amount that has not been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower being, the
βUnreimbursed Amountβ).
(b) If the applicable Borrower fails to fully reimburse any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section
3.7(a) at the time and on the due date specified in such Section (the βReimbursement Dateβ), such Issuing
Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent or (with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in
Canadian Dollars) the Canadian Agent (with a copy to the applicable Borrower), which notice shall be
provided on a Business Day, and specify in such notice the amount (and currency) of the Unreimbursed
Amount. Immediately upon receipt of such notice from such Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall notify each Relevant L/C Participant of the Reimbursement Date, the
Unreimbursed Amount, and the amount (and currency) of such Relevant L/C Participantβs Commitment
Percentage thereof.
(c) If there shall be any Unreimbursed Amounts owing to any Issuing Lender on or after
such Unreimbursed Amounts were due pursuant to Section 3.7(a), the relevant Issuing Lender may
request on behalf of the applicable Borrower (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes such
Issuing Lender to act on its behalf solely in this regard), that each Relevant Facility Lender make a
Relevant Facility Loan (which initially shall be a Base Rate Loan (in the case of a Loan denominated in
United States Dollars) or a Prime Rate Loan (in the case of a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars)) in
the currency in which such Letter of Credit was drawn and in an amount equal to such Relevant Facility
Lenderβs Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of such Unreimbursed Amount (an βL/C
Reimbursement Loanβ). In accordance with Section 2.5(c), unless any of the conditions contained in
Section 6.2 shall not have been satisfied or waived (in which event the procedures set forth in Section 3.6
shall apply), each Relevant Facility Lender shall make the proceeds of its Relevant Facility Loan
available to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, the
Canadian Agent) prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) in funds immediately available on the
Business Day next succeeding the date such request is made. The proceeds of such Relevant Facility
Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the applicable Issuing Lender.
(d) With respect to Unreimbursed Amounts that are not paid on the date due, interest shall be
payable on any and all Unreimbursed Amounts from the date such amounts become payable (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise) until payment in full (either in cash or upon the
Β
97
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
making of a Relevant Facility Loan) at the applicable rate which would be payable on any outstanding
Relevant Facility Loans that were Base Rate Loans or (with respect to Unreimbursed Amounts
denominated in Canadian Dollars) Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, which were then overdue.
3.8 Obligations Absolute. (a) The Borrowersβ obligations under this Section 3 shall
be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional 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
Lender 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 Borrowersβ obligations hereunder. Neither
the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lenders, nor any of their
Related Persons, 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
applicable Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing
Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the
extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender'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 an Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender 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, each Issuing Lender 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.
3.9 Role of the Issuing Lenders. (a) The responsibility of any Issuing Lender to the
Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued on behalf
of any Borrower shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of
Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered by or on behalf of
the beneficiary under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with
such Letter of Credit. In addition, each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing or
demand for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit shall not have
any responsibility to inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document presented in connection with
such drawing or demand for payment or the authority of the Person executing or delivering the same.
(b) No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or
assignees of any Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith in respect of any Letter of Credit at the request or with the approval or deemed
approved of the Required Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in respect of any Letter of Credit in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
Β
98
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any document delivered in connection with the issuance or
payment of such Letter of Credit.
(c) The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or
transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not
intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have
against such beneficiary or transferee. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lenders shall be liable or responsible for any of
the matters described in Section 3.8; provided, however, that anything in such Section or elsewhere herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, any Borrower may have a claim against any Issuing Lender and such
Issuing Lender may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as
opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proved
were caused (x) by such Issuing Lenderβs willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of
such Letter of Credit or (y) as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Issuing Lender
with respect to the payment by such Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit against presentation of any
document or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) any Issuing Lender may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary; and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of
Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.
3.10 Letter of Credit Request. To the extent that any material provision of any Letter
of Credit Request related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the
provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
SECTION 4 GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS

Working Capital Facility Commitments and/or the Acquisition Facility Commitments or, from time to
time, reduce the Dollar Working Capital Facility Commitments, the Multicurrency Working Capital
Facility Commitments and/or the Acquisition Facility Commitments; provided, that no such termination
or reduction of the relevant Commitments shall be permitted to the extent that, after giving effect thereto
and to any prepayments of the Loans and Cash Collateralization of the Letters of Credit made on or
before the effective date thereof, (i) the Total Dollar Working Capital Facility Extensions of Credit would
exceed the aggregate amount of all Dollar Working Capital Facility Commitments of all Dollar Working
Capital Facility Lenders then in effect, (ii) the Total Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Extensions
of Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of all Multicurrency Working Capital Facility
Commitments of all Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Lenders then in effect or (iii) the Total

Commitments of all Acquisition Facility Lenders then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount
equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently and ratably the applicable
relevant Commitment then in effect.
(b) At any time during the Increase Period, (x) (i) the aggregate Dollar Working Capital
Facility Commitments may be increased to an amount not to exceed $1,200,000,000 (a βDollar Working

Capital Facility Increaseβ) and (ii) the aggregate Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Commitments
may be increased to an amount not to exceed $320,000,000 (a βMulticurrency Working Capital Facility
Increaseβ); provided that the aggregate increases under clauses (x)(i) and (x)(ii) shall not exceed
$200,000,000270,000,000 and (y) the aggregate Acquisition Facility Commitments may be increased to
an amount not to exceed $750,000,000 (an βAcquisition Facility Increaseβ; a Dollar Working Capital
Facility Increase, Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Increase and an Acquisition Facility Increase,
each being a βFacility Increaseβ) pursuant to the following procedure:
(i) The U.S. Borrower may make a written request for such Facility Increase
to the Administrative Agent, who shall forward a copy of any such request to the Lenders
under such Facility. Each request by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence shall specify a proposed effective date of such increase (the
βRequested Increase Effective Dateβ), the aggregate amount of such requested increase
(the βRequested Increase Amountβ), and shall (subject to clause (iii) below) constitute an
invitation to each of the Lenders under such Facility to increase its Commitment under
such Facility by its Commitment Percentage of such Requested Increase Amount.
(ii) Each Lender under such Facility, acting in its sole discretion and with no
obligations to increase its Commitment under such Facility pursuant to this Section
4.1(b), shall by written notice to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent advise
the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to all
or any portion of such increase in its Commitment under such Facility within ten (10)
days after the U.S. Borrowerβs request. Any such Lender may accept all of its
Commitment Percentage of such increase, a portion of such increase, or decline to accept
any of such increase in its Commitment under such Facility. If any such Lender shall not
have responded affirmatively within such ten (10) day period, such Lender shall be
deemed to have rejected the U.S. Borrowerβs request for an increase in such Commitment
in full. Promptly following the conclusion of such ten (10) day period, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower of the results of the request for the applicable
Facility Increase.
(iii) If the aggregate amount of the increases in the Commitments under any
Facility which the Lenders under such Facility have accepted in accordance with Section
4.1(b)(ii) shall be less than the Requested Increase Amount, the Administrative Agent
(subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders under such
Facility, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) may
offer to such additional Persons (including the Lenders under such Facility), as may be
agreed by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the opportunity to make
available such amount of new Commitments under such Facility as may be required so
that the aggregate increases in the Commitments under such Facility by the existing
Lenders thereunder together with such new Commitments by such other Persons (the
βNew Lendersβ) shall equal the Requested Increase Amount (the aggregate Facility
Increase provided by such existing Lenders and the New Lenders, the βIncrease
Amountβ). Such Increase Amount shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole
multiple thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to up to $100,000,000 in
Facility Increases, the Borrower may receive the Requested Increase Amount by, subject
to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders under the applicable
Facility (such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned),
offering to such additional Persons (including the Lenders under the applicable Facility),
as may be agreed by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the opportunity to
make available such amount of new Commitments under the applicable Facility. The

Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall have executed and delivered an
agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P (an βIncrease and New
Lender Agreementβ); (B) (i) (x) with respect to the Dollar Working Capital Facility, the
aggregate Dollar Working Capital Facility Commitment after giving effect to such

Working Capital Facility, the aggregate Multicurrency Working Capital Facility
Commitment after giving effect to such increases shall not exceed $320,000,000;

Acquisition Facility Commitments after giving effect to such increase shall not exceed
$750,000,000; (C) any fees and other amounts (including pursuant to Section 11.6)
payable by the U.S. Borrower in connection with such increase and accession shall have
been paid; (D) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
result from such increase in the Commitments; (E) delivery of an Availability
Certification dated as of the date of such increase and (F) with respect to each Mortgaged

Mortgage and Security Agreements or new Mortgage and Security Agreements as are in

executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the relevant Loan Party to the
extent necessary to reflect the increase in the applicable Facility (it being understood that,
unless requested by the Administrative Agent, no amendment shall increase the amount
secured thereby if the same will result in the payment of additional mortgage recording
tax) and (2) with respect to each such Mortgage and Security Agreement, a date-down
endorsement to the title insurance policy covering such Mortgage and Security
Agreement (or if a date-down is not available for a particular jurisdiction, a new title
insurance policy in the same insured amount as originally issued or marked up
unconditional title commitment, pro forma policy or binder for such insurance) in each
case in form and substance not materially less favorable to the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders as such title policies or marked up unconditional title commitments, pro
forma policies or binders delivered on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date, (3)
evidence satisfactory to it that all premiums in respect of a related date-down
endorsement or title policy (or policies) have been paid and (4) to the extent required by
applicable Law, a standard flood hazard determination for each Mortgaged Property

doubt, Extensions of Credit made under any Facility Increase shall bear interest at the
rate otherwise applicable to corresponding Extensions of Credit under the applicable
Facility.
(iv) On any Requested Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility,
(A) each Increasing Lender or New Lender thereof shall make available to the
Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative
Agent shall determine for the benefit of the other Lenders under such Facility as being
required in order to cause (after giving effect to such increase and the use of such
amounts to make payments to the other Lenders under such Facility) each Lenderβs
portion of the outstanding Loans of all Lenders under such Facility to equal its
Β
101
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
Commitment Percentage of such Loans, (B) the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to
have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans of all the Lenders under such Facility
to equal its Commitment Percentage of such outstanding Loans as of the date of the
applicable Facility Increase (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with
related Interest Periods, if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the applicable
Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.3) and (C) the participations
in Letters of Credit shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the applicable Commitment
Percentages. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (B) of the immediately
preceding sentence in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan shall be subject to
indemnification by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.14 if
the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods;
provided, that the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall cooperate with the
Borrowers to reduce and/or eliminate any such indemnification payments to the extent
reasonably possible if such cooperation would not subject the Administrative Agent or
such Lender, as applicable, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or such Lender.
(v) Upon the Requested Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility,
Schedule 1.0 of the Increase and New Lender Agreement, which shall reflect the
Commitments and the Commitment Percentages of the Lenders under such Facility at
such time, shall be deemed to supersede Schedule 1.0 hereto without any further action or
consent of any party. The Administrative Agent shall cause a copy of such revised
Schedule 1.0 to be available to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders.
4.2 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Each Base Rate Loan (including Dollar Swing Line Loans and Multicurrency Swing Line
Loans denominated in United States Dollars) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate

Section 4.5(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence
and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded (absent manifest error); provided,

account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with
applicable interest) the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder made to such Borrower by such
Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent or (in the case of a

(New York City time), three (3) Business Days before the date of the prepayment, (ii) in the case of

date, the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory
prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the required amount of such prepayment. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swing Line Loans), the
applicable Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of an extension of
credit shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid extension of credit and otherwise in
accordance with this Section 4.7(f). Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent

(g) Any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.7, and the rights of the Lenders in
respect thereof, are subject to the provisions of Section 4.9.
(h) For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts prepaid under this Section 4.7 shall permanently
reduce any Commitments.
4.8 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) All fees and interest hereunder shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that (i) interest on Base Rate
Loans calculated using clause (b) of the definition of βBase Rateβ, (ii) interest on Prime Rate Loans
calculated using clause (a) of the definition of βPrime Rateβ and (iii) interest on Eurocurrency Loans
denominated in Canadian Dollars shall, in each case, be calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year, as
the case may be, for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify
the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of each Eurocurrency Rate for any
Eurocurrency Loans outstanding. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the
Base Rate or Prime Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such
change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the U.S.
Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the
absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the U.S. Borrower, deliver to
the U.S. Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.2(a).
4.9 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Other than as expressly set forth herein,
each borrowing by any Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and any reduction of the Commitments
under any Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages, as
applicable, of the Lenders under such Facility. Other than as expressly set forth herein, each payment
(including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest and fees on the
Loans and Reimbursement Obligations under any Facility shall be made pro rata according to the
respective outstanding principal amounts of such Borrowerβs Loans and Reimbursement Obligations
Β
107
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
under such Facility, respectively, then held by the Lenders.
(b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder on account
of principal of Loans (other than Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans on any day other than the
Maturity Date of such Loans) shall be accompanied by a payment in an amount equal to all accrued and
unpaid interest on such Loans. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower
hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent (in the case of amounts payable in United States Dollars) or the Canadian Agent (in
the case of amounts payable in Canadian Dollars) for the account of the applicable Lenders at the office
of the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, specified in Section 11.2 in United States
Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, in immediately available funds. The applicable Agent shall
distribute such payments to the appropriate Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If
any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment obligation shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable
rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in
which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any
extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be
payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior
to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Commitment
Percentage of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Agent, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such
amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, by the
required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent, as applicable, on demand such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily
average Federal Funds EffectiveNYFRB Rate (in the case of United States Dollar denominated amounts)
or the Canadian Agentβs cost of funds (in the case of Canadian Dollar denominated amounts) for the
period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Agent, as applicable. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this Section 4.9 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
If such Lenderβs Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative
Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such
Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall also be entitled to
recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans (in the
case of amounts denominated in United States Dollars) or Prime Rate Loans (in the case of amounts
denominated in Canadian Dollars) on demand from the applicable Borrower (without duplication of the
interest otherwise applicable thereto).
(d) Subject to Sections 4.7(d) and (e) and Section 4.18, the application of any payment of
Loans (including optional and mandatory prepayments), along with the application of any proceeds
obtained upon the exercise of remedies by the Agents for the Lenders hereunder or under any Loan
Document, shall be made to each Lender based upon its Commitment Percentage, first, to Base Rate
Loans and Prime Rate Loans, ratably, and, second, to Eurocurrency Loans, ratably. Each payment of the
Eurocurrency Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount

paid.
4.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender, the Administrative
Agent or the Canadian Agent with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from
any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date:
(i) does or shall subject any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Agent to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Loan or any Letter of Credit made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Agent in respect thereof (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply
to (x) any U.S. federal or Canadian withholding Tax or Other Taxes, as to which Section
4.11 shall govern, or (y) any Tax imposed on or measured by a Lenderβs, the
Administrative Agentβs or the Canadian Agentβs net income (to the extent it does not
change the basis of taxation), including any changes in the rate of net income Taxes (or
franchise Taxes in lieu thereof) imposed on a Lender, the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Agent, as applicable, in the case of each of (x) and (y), as to which Section 4.11
shall govern);
(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by,
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of
credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not
otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate; or
(iii) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition, cost or expense
(provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (x) any U.S. federal or Canadian
withholding Tax or Other Taxes, as to which Section 4.11 shall govern, or (y) any Tax
imposed on or measured by a Lenderβs net income (to the extent it does not change the
basis of taxation), including any changes in the rate of net income Taxes (or franchise
Taxes in lieu thereof) imposed on a Lender, in the case of each of (x) and (y), as to which
Section 4.11 shall govern); and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent of making, Converting into,
Continuing or maintaining this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Loan or
issuing, providing and maintaining any Letter of Credit or holding an interest in any
Issuing Lenderβs obligations thereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable by the
Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent in respect thereof, then the
Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking Loans or issuing
Letters of Credit if, in the judgment of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Agent, as applicable, such designation (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 or eliminate the need to provide the notice specified
in clause (c) of this Section 4.10 and (y) would not subject such Lender, the Administrative
Agent or the Canadian Agent to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Agent;
then, in any such case, and to the extent that such cost is not fully compensated for by an adjustment to
the Eurocurrency Rate, the Base Rate, the Prime Rate or any fee on a Letter of Credit or mitigated
pursuant to a change in such Lenderβs Applicable Lending Office, the Borrowers shall promptly, after
Β
109
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
receiving notice as specified in clause (c) of this Section 4.10, pay such Lender, the Administrative Agent
or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender,
the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable on
a net after-Tax basis.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof
or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lenderβs or such corporationβs capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a
level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lenderβs or such corporationβs policies with respect
to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to
time, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such reduction on a net after-Tax basis.
(c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section
4.10, it shall promptly notify the U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by
reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate prepared in good faith as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 submitted by such Lender to the U.S. Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in
this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans,
Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. No Lender shall be entitled to
claim any additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.10(a) and (b) for circumstances which occurred more
than 180 days prior to the date such Lender makes a request for payment hereunder.
(d) It is agreed and understood that, for all purposes under this Agreement (including
for purposes of this Section 4.10 and Section 4.11) that (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued
in connection therewith on in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements
or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States, Canadian or foreign regulatory
authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be an adoption or change in
a Requirement of Law made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date, regardless of the date enacted,
adopted, implemented or issued.
4.11 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of each Loan Party or any
Agent under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a
party shall, unless otherwise required by law, be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges
or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto,
whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or
other Governmental Authority (collectively, βTaxesβ). If any Loan Party or the Agent shall be required
under any Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
under or in respect of this Agreement, the Loans, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan
Documents to any Agent or Lender (including for purposes of this Section 4.11 and Section 4.10 any
assignee, successor or participant), as determined in good faith by the applicable Loan Party or Agent, (i)
such Loan Party or Agent shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) such
Loan Party or Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant
taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any Requirement of Law, and (iii)
Β
110
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
in the case of any Non-Excluded Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be
necessary so that after such Loan Party or Agent has made all required deductions and withholdings
(including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 4.11)
such Lender or Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
or withholdings been made or required in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this
Agreement the term βNon-Excluded Taxesβ are Taxes other than, (i) in the case of a Lender or Agent,
Taxes that are imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which
such Lender or Agent is organized or has its applicable lending office, (ii) net income, franchise or branch
profit taxes imposed on a Lender or an Agent (A) by the jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof)
under the laws of which such Lender or Agent is organized or has its principal office or applicable
lending office or (B) that are Other Connection Taxes, (iii) any U.S. federal or Canadian withholding Tax
imposed on any payment under the law as of the Restatement Effective Date, (iv) any Tax imposed on a
Transferee (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the U.S. Borrower under Section 4.17) or
successor Agent to the extent that, under applicable Law in effect on the date of the transfer to such
Transferee or such successor Agent, the amount of such Tax exceeds the Non-Excluded Taxes, if any,
that were imposed on payments to the transferring Lender or predecessor Agent, (v) Taxes attributable to
such Lenderβs or Agentβs failure to comply with Section 4.11(e) or Section 4.11(h) or (vi) any U.S.
federal or Canadian withholding Tax imposed under FATCA. For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusions
described in the preceding sentence will apply to the same effect to direct or indirect beneficial owners of
a Lender that is fiscally transparent.
(b) In addition, each Loan Party hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording,
documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar Taxes, charges or levies that arise from
any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the
execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (collectively, βOther Taxesβ).
(c) Each Loan Party hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender that is not fiscally transparent
and, in the case of a Lender that is fiscally transparent, its direct or indirect beneficial owners for which
such Loan Party has received proof of such ownership and entitlement to the benefits of this Section 4.11
(subject to the same conditions for, and exclusions from indemnification as are applicable to a Lender that
is not fiscally transparent), and each Agent for, and to hold each harmless against, the full amount of Non-
Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction
on amounts payable under this Section 4.11 imposed on or paid by such Lender or Agent, and any
liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. The indemnity by the Loan Parties provided for in this Section 4.11(c) shall apply and be made
whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought
have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by any Loan Party under the indemnity set forth
in this Section 4.11(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Lender or Agent
makes written demand therefor.
(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the applicable Loan Party
(or any Person making such payment on behalf of the Loan Parties) shall furnish to Lender and/or Agent
for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof or evidence
of such payment as is reasonably satisfactory to such Lender or Agent.
(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with
respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower,
Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the applicable
Borrower, the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian
Β
111

Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent as will enable the
applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to 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 4.11(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below and any
documentation required for Canadian withholding Tax purposes) shall not be required if in the Lenderβs
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.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the applicable
Borrower, Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent on or prior
to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying
that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do
so, deliver to the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent and
Canadian Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested
by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time
to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable
Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent), whichever
of the following is applicable:

to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any
Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as
applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the βinterestβ article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-
8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the βbusiness profitsβ or βother incomeβ article of such tax
treaty;
(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a βbankβ within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a β10 percent shareholderβ of the
applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a
βcontrolled foreign corporationβ described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a
βSection 4.11 Certificateβ) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form

112
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of
IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, a Section 4.11 Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit
D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as
applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or
indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption,
such Foreign Lender may provide a Section 4.11 Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do
so, deliver to the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent and
Canadian Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested
by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time
to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable
Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent), executed
copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis
for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal
withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable law to permit the applicable Borrower, Administrative
Agent or Canadian Agent to determine the withholding or
deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender, Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Lender, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent 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, Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent shall deliver to the applicable Borrower,
Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested

additional documentation reasonably requested by the applicable
Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent as may be
necessary for the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA
and to determine that such Lender, Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent has complied with its obligations under FATCA
or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such
payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), βFATCAβ shall
include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of the
Restatement Effective Date.
Each Lender, Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent 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
Β
113
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
certification or promptly notify the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent in
writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Loan Parties hereunder,
the agreements and obligations of the Loan Parties contained in this Section 4.11 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained in Section 4.10 or this
Section 4.11 shall require any Agent or Lender to make available any of its tax returns or any other
information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.
(g) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after
the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent shall
treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent to treat) the
Existing Credit Agreement as not qualifying as a βgrandfathered obligationβ within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
(h) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent (or, on
any date thereafter, any successor or replacement Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent) shall deliver
to the applicable Borrower two duly executed originals of either (i) IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-
8BEN-E, or (ii) such other documentation as the applicable Borrower may reasonably request for
purposes of establishing that the applicable Borrower can make payments to the Administrative Agent
and Canadian Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States or
Canada.
4.12 Lending Offices. Loans of each Type made by any Lender shall be made and
maintained at such Lenderβs Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.
4.13 Credit Utilization Reporting. Within five (5) Business Days after the end of each
calendar month, each Issuing Lender shall deliver a report to the Administrative Agent, substantially in
the form of Annex IV (a βCredit Utilization Summaryβ), setting forth, for each Letter of Credit issued or
provided by such Issuing Lender, (i) the currency and the amount available to be drawn or utilized under
such Letters of Credit as of the end of such calendar month and (ii) the amount of any drawings, payments
or reductions of such Letters of Credit during such month, in each case, on an aggregate and per Letter of
Credit basis. Upon receiving notice from any Borrower or the beneficiary under a Letter of Credit issued
or provided by such Issuing Lender of a reduction or termination of such Letter of Credit, each Issuing
Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in
Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Agent) thereof.
4.14 Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each
Lender harmless from any actual loss or expense (other than, in the case of expenses, any administrative,
processing or similar fee in respect thereof exceeding $100 for each affected Lender for each relevant
event) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a result of (a) default by such Borrower in making a
borrowing of, Conversion into or Continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a
notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such
Borrower in making any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan after such Borrower has given a notice
thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of
Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. This
covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans, Reimbursement
Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. No Lender shall be entitled to claim any additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 4.14 for circumstances which occurred more than 180 days prior to the
Β
114
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
date such Lender makes a request for payment hereunder.
4.15 Market Disruption and Inability to Determine Interest Rate. (a) [Reserved]
(b) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan:
(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination
shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the Eurocurrency Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for a
Loan in the applicable currency for such Interest Period; or
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority
Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility that the Eurocurrency Base Rate or the
Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for a Loan in the applicable currency or for the
applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
of making or maintaining their affected Eurocurrency Loans under such Facility during
such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the U.S.
Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given with respect to
the Eurocurrency Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans under any Facility,
(x) any such Eurocurrency Loan requested to be made under such Facility on the first day of such Interest
Period shall be made as a Base Rate Loan (in the case of a Loan denominated in United States Dollars) or
a Prime Rate Loan (in the case of a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars), (y) any Base Rate Loans or
Prime Rate Loans under such Facility that were to have been Converted on the first day of such Interest
Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall not be so Converted and shall continue as Base Rate Loans or Prime
Rate Loans, as applicable, and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans under such Facility shall be
Converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Base Rate Loans (in the case of Loans denominated
in United States Dollars) or Prime Rate Loans (in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars).
Until such notice has been revoked by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans under
such Facility shall be made or Continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to Convert Loans
under such Facility into such Type.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly revoke (i) any such notice pursuant to clause
(b)(i) above if the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and reasonable means exist for
ascertaining the relevant Eurocurrency Loan for the applicable Interest Period and (ii) any such notice
pursuant to clause (b)(ii) above upon receipt of notice from the requisite Lenders under the applicable
Facility necessary to give such notice in clause (b)(ii) that the relevant circumstances described in such
clause (b)(ii) have ceased to exist.
4.16 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful
for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the
commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, Continue Eurocurrency Loans as
such and Convert Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall forthwith be
suspended to the extent necessary for such Lender to avoid any such unlawful action until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent that it is lawful to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as
contemplated by this Agreement, provided, however, that notwithstanding the suspension contemplated
by this clause (a), the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Base Rate Loans and/or Prime Rate
Loans shall continue to be in effect, and (b) such Lenderβs Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency
Β
115
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
Loans, if any, shall be Converted automatically to available and lawful Interest Periods, if any, or Base
Rate Loans (in the case of Loans denominated in United States Dollars) or Prime Rate Loans (in the case
of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars), at the option of the applicable Borrower, on the respective
last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as
required by law. If any such Conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day
of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender
such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.14.
4.17 Replacement of Lenders. If (a)(i)(A) any Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to or indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11 or (B) any Lender requests
compensation under Section 4.10, and (ii) in the case of Section 4.11, a Lender has declined to designate a
different Applicable Lending Office, (b) any Lender invokes Section 4.16, (c) any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, or (d) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or other
modification that, pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1, requires the consent of all the Lenders, or all
affected Lenders, and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then,
in each case, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Borrowers may, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with
and subject to the restrictions and obligations contained in Section 11.7), all of its interests, rights (other
than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.11) and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or all of its interests, rights and obligations in respect of the
Loans or Commitments that are the subject of the related amendment, waiver or other modification) to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations and become a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the transferring Lender shall have received payment of
an amount equal to (A) the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, and accrued fees
payable to it hereunder, from the Assignee and (B) any additional amounts (including indemnity
payments) payable to it hereunder from the Borrowers and (ii) in the case of a transferring Lender that is
also an Issuing Lender, the Letters of Credit issued by such transferring Lender shall have been cash
collateralized or backed by a letter of credit or other credit support from a Non-Defaulting Lender or other
bank reasonably acceptable to the transferring Lender, in each case, on terms and conditions reasonably
satisfactory to such transferring Lender; provided, further, that, if, upon such demand by the Borrowers,
such Lender elects to waive its request for additional compensation pursuant to Sections 4.10 or 4.11, or
consents to the proposed amendment, waiver or other modification, the demand by the Borrowers for
such Lender to so assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall thereupon be deemed
withdrawn. Nothing in this Section 4.17 shall affect or postpone any of the rights of any Lender or any of
the Obligations of the Borrowers under any of the foregoing provisions of Sections 4.10, 4.11 or 4.16 in
any manner. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney
(which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor,
any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lenderβs interest
hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 4.17.
4.18 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, if at any time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply so
long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) If any Defaulting Lender (or a Lender who would be a Defaulting Lender but for the
expiration of the relevant grace period) as a result of the exercise of a set-off shall have received a
payment in respect of its Loans or its participation interests in Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit
which results in its Extensions of Credit under any Facility being less than its Commitment Percentage of
the Total Extensions of Credit under such Facility, then payments (including principal, interest and fees)
to such Defaulting Lender will be suspended until such time as all amounts due and owing to the Lenders
Β
116
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
under such Facility have been equalized in accordance with such Lendersβ Commitment Percentages of
the Total Extensions of Credit under such Facility. Further, if at any time prior to the acceleration or
maturity of the Obligations under any Facility with respect to which a Defaulting Lender is a Lender at
such time, the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent shall receive any payment in respect of principal
of a Loan or a reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under such Facility, the Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall apply such payment first to the Loans and participations in Letters of
Credit and, if applicable, Swing Line Loans, under such Facility and for which such Defaulting Lender
shall have failed to fund its pro rata share to non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility until such time
as such Defaulting Lenderβs obligation to fund such Loans and/or participations is satisfied in full or each
Lender under such Facility is paid its Commitment Percentage of the Total Extensions of Credit under
such Facility. After acceleration or maturity of the Obligations under any Facility to which a Defaulting
Lender is a Lender, subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.18(a), all principal will be paid ratably as
provided in Section 4.9(a).
(b) 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:
(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the Available Commitments of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8; and
(ii) with respect to any L/C Participation Obligation, Refunded Swing Line
Loan or, Dollar Swing Line Participation Amount, or Multicurrency Swing Line
Participation Amount (collectively, βParticipation Obligationsβ) of such Defaulting
Lender that exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or thereafter:
(A) all or any part of such Defaulting Lenderβs pro rata portion of all
Participation Obligations under each Facility to which such Defaulting Lender is a
Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility in
accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to
such Defaulting Lenderβs Commitment under such Facility) but only to the extent that (x)
the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lendersβ Available Commitments under such Facility is
greater than zero and (y) each such Non-Defaulting Lenderβs Available Commitment
under such Facility is greater than zero;
(B) if the reallocation described in clause (ii)(A) above cannot, or
can only partially, be effected, then the Borrowers shall within three (3) Business Days
following notice by the Administrative Agent to the U.S. Borrower (1) Cash (100%)
Collateralize such Defaulting Lenderβs portion of the Letters of Credit under the
applicable Facility (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (ii)(A)
above) for so long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding and (2) after giving effect to
any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above, if such Defaulting Lender is (x)
a Dollar Working Capital Facility Lender, repay the non-reallocated amount of each
Dollar Swing Line Loan for so long as such Refunded Swing Line Loan and Dollar
Swing Line Participation Amount are outstanding and (y) a Multicurrency Working
Capital Facility Lender, repay the non-reallocated amount of each Multicurrency Swing
Line Loan for so long as such Refunded Swing Line Loan and Multicurrency Swing Line
Participation Amount are outstanding;
(C) if the Participation Obligations of the Non-Defaulting Lenders
under the relevant Facility are reallocated pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above or Cash
Β
117
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
(100%) Collateralized or repaid pursuant to clause (ii)(B), then the fees payable to the
Lenders under such Facility pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be adjusted or reduced, as
applicable, in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lendersβ Commitment Percentages
(calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lenderβs Commitment under such Facility);
and
(D) if any Defaulting Lenderβs portion of the Participation
Obligations under any Facility is neither Cash (100%) Collateralized nor reallocated
pursuant to this Section 4.18(b)(ii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies
hereunder of the Lenders and Issuing Lenders under such Facility and, in the case of any
Working Capital Facility, the Swing Line Lenders under such Facility, all commitment
and commission fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender
(solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lenderβs Commitment under such
Facility that was utilized by the Participation Obligations under such Facility) and letter
of credit fees payable under Section 3.5(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lenderβs
portion of the Letters of Credit under such Facility shall be payable to the Issuing
Lenders under such Facility and, in the case of any Working Capital Facility, the Swing
Line Lenders under such Facility, until such Participation Obligations are Cash (100%)
Collateralized, reallocated and/or repaid in full.
(c) So long as any Lender under any Facility is a Defaulting Lender (i) no Issuing Lender
under such Facility shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit under such Facility,
unless it is satisfied that the exposure of the L/C Participants in respect of such Letter of Credit will be
100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility and/or cash
collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 4.18(b), and participating
interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting
Lenders under such Facility in a manner consistent with Section 3.6 (and Defaulting Lenders shall not
participate therein), and (ii) if the Defaulting Lender is a Working Capital Facility Lender, no Swing Line
Lender under such Facility shall be required to advance any Swing Line Loan under such Facility, unless
it is satisfied that the exposure of the remaining Lenders under such Facility in respect of such Swing Line
Loan will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility.
(d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be a
Qualified Counterparty with respect to any Commodity OTC Agreements or Financial Hedging
Agreements, or a Qualified Cash Management Bank with respect to a Cash Management Bank
Agreement, entered into while such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Borrower and each Issuing Lender
under a Facility in which a Defaulting Lender is a Lender, and, in the case of any Working Capital
Facility, each Swing Line Lender under such Facility, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has
adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Participation
Obligations under such Facility shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Defaulting Lenderβs
Commitment under such Facility, and on such date each Lender under such Facility shall purchase at par
such of the Loans, funded Participation Obligations and Commitments under such Facility as the
Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans,
funded Participation Obligations and Commitments in accordance with its Commitment Percentage with
respect to such Facility.
(f) If any portion of a Defaulting Lenderβs Participation Obligations are reallocated to Non-
Defaulting Lenders, then defined terms (including Acquisition Facility Commitment Percentage, Dollar
Working Capital Facility Commitment Percentage, Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Commitment

Percentage, Acquisition Facility Extensions of Credit, Dollar Working Capital Facility Extensions of
Credit, and Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Extensions of Credit), shall, as necessary or advisable
(in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent) be read as used in this Agreement (other
than Section 10.7) to give effect to such reallocation.
4.19 Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act
(Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on
the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so
determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or
such other period of time, respectively.
4.20 Limitations on Interest. If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other
Loan Documents would obligate any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable
to the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a
receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code
(Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been
adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would
not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate, such
adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of
interest required to be paid to the Lenders under Section 4.2, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees,
commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute
βinterestβ for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and
after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lenders shall have received an amount
in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Loan Parties shall
be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Lenders in
an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an
amount payable by the Lenders to the Borrowers. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section
4.20 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an
effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the
assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of βinterestβ (as defined in the
Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of
time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Restatement Effective Date to the Maturity Date
and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by
the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination
4.21 Replacement Facility.
(a) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Borrowers may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent
shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Relevant Facility Lenders), request to replace a Facility with
a new revolving credit facility under this Agreement (a βReplacement Facilityβ); provided that (i) at the
time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Replacement Facility Amendment, no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom and (ii) the
Administrative Agent has consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned) in writing to the incurrence of such Replacement Facility. The amount of each Replacement
Facility shall not exceed the amount of the Facility being replaced.
(b) Any Replacement Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security
with the Obligations in respect of the other Facilities and the obligors in respect thereof shall be Loan
Parties. The interest on any outstanding Loans and Swing Line Loans under any replaced Facility,
Β
119
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
together with all fees owed by the Borrowers under such Facility, shall be paid in full, the principal of any
outstanding Loans and Swing Line Loans under any replaced Facility shall be paid in full, replaced,
converted or continued on terms satisfactory to the Lenders under such Facility and all outstanding
Letters of Credit under such Facility will be replaced or continued on terms satisfactory to the Lenders
under such Facility, in each case on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for such Facility. Any
Replacement Facility shall be on the terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the
Commitments in respect of the Facility being replaced (other than maturity date and pricing (interest rate
and fees)) or on such other terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers,
as set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment; provided that any Replacement Facility
shall not have a termination date that is earlier than the termination date of the Facility being replaced. In
addition, the terms and conditions applicable to any Replacement Facility may provide for additional or
different covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders under such
Replacement Facility and applicable only during periods after the latest final maturity date for all Loans
and Commitments (other than those under the Facility being replaced) in effect immediately prior to the
date such Replacement Facility is incurred or obtained or the date on which all non-replaced Obligations
(except indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and of which no Responsible
Person of any Loan Party has knowledge and Hedging and Bank Product Obligations) are paid in full.
(c) Each notice from the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall set forth the
requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Replacement Facility. Any financial institution that
elects to extend commitments under a Replacement Facility (a βReplacement Facility Lenderβ) shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and (unless such Replacement Facility Lender is already a
Lender or a Subsidiary, Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof) the Administrative Agent, and (i) if the
Replacement Facility is a replacement of the Acquisition Facility, the Acquisition Facility Issuing
Lenders, and (ii) if the Replacement Facility is a replacement of the Dollar Working Capital Facility or
the Multicurrency Working Capital Facility, the Relevant Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders and
the Relevant Swing Line Lenders. Each Replacement Facility Lender that is not already a Lender shall
become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to a Replacement Facility Amendment. Each
Replacement Facility shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, a βReplacement Facility
Amendmentβ) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the
Borrowers, such Replacement Facility Lender(s) and the Administrative Agent. No Replacement Facility
Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other than the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Replacement Facility Lenders with respect to such Replacement Facility
Amendment. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any commitment for any Replacement Facility,
unless it so agrees in its sole discretion. Commitments in respect of any Replacement Facility shall
become Commitments under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement (including Section 11.1), a Replacement Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any
other Lenders or any other Person, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary
or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of
this Section. The effectiveness of any Replacement Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to
by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Facility Lenders party thereto, be subject to the
satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof (each, a βReplacement Facility Closing Dateβ) of each of the
conditions set forth in Section 6.2 (it being understood that all references to the date of making any
extension of credit in Section 6.2 shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Facility Closing Date). To
the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the effectiveness of a Replacement Facility
Amendment may be conditioned on the Administrative Agentβs receipt of customary legal opinions with
respect thereto, board resolutions and officersβ certificates, additional filings or registrations, mortgage
amendments, filing amendments and/or reaffirmation agreements. No Replacement Facility may be
implemented unless such Replacement Facility has provisions reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent with respect to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans then outstanding under the
Facility being replaced.

SECTION 5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans
and provide other extensions of credit hereunder and, with respect to the Issuing Lenders, to issue the Letters
of Credit, the Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to each Agent and each Lender
as of the Restatement Effective Date and each Borrowing Date that:
5.1 Financial Condition. (a) Each of the financial statements delivered pursuant to
Section 6.1(r) and Section 7.1 (other than the Annual Budgets, the Operating Forecasts and the financial
statements delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1(r)(v) and (vi)) present fairly in all material respects the
financial condition of the Persons covered by such financial statements as at such date, and have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP or GAAP adjusted on an Economic Basis plus or minus any Allowed
Reserve, as applicable, in each case applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as
approved by such accountants and as disclosed therein and, with regard to the non-annual financial
statements, subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes).
(b) The Annual Budgets and the Operating Forecasts have been prepared in good faith under
the direction of a Responsible Person of the General Partner. The Annual Budgets and the Operating
Forecasts were based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Loan Parties to be
reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it
relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods
covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material
amount.
(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(c) hereto, neither the MLP nor any of its consolidated
Subsidiaries has, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to in Section 5.1(a), any material
Guarantee Obligation, contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any material long-term lease or unusual
forward or long-term commitment, including any material interest rate or foreign currency swap or
exchange transaction or other financial derivative which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in
the notes thereto.
(d) The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared giving effect (as if such events
had occurred on such date) to (i) the Extensions of Credit to be made on the Restatement Effective Date
and the use of proceeds thereof, (ii) the consummation of the Kildair Acquisition and (iii) the payment of
fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been
prepared based on the best information available to the U.S. Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof,
and present fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the U.S. Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2014, assuming that the events specified in the preceding
sentence had actually occurred at such date
(e) The Projections have been prepared based upon good faith estimates and assumptions
believed by management of the U.S. Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by
the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that
actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the
projected results set forth therein by a material amount.
(f) During the period from December 31, 2013 to and including the Restatement Effective
Date, there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by any Loan Party or any of their respective
consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of their respective business or property and no purchase or
other acquisition of any business or property (including any Capital Stock of any other Person) material in
relation to the consolidated financial condition of such Loan Party and its consolidated Subsidiaries at
Β
121
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
December 31, 2013, other than those sales, transfers, dispositions and acquisitions listed on Schedule
5.1(f).

to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c)
is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where such
qualification is required, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements
of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each of the Loan Parties has the
corporate (or analogous) power and authority, and the legal right, to execute, deliver and perform the
Loan Documents to which it is a party and, if applicable, to borrow hereunder, and, if applicable, has
taken all necessary corporate (or analogous) action to authorize the borrowings on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and any Notes and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Except for (a) the filing of Uniform Commercial Code and
PPSA financing statements, financing change statements and equivalent filings for foreign jurisdictions
and the taking of applicable actions referred to in Section 5.16 and (b) the filings or other actions listed on
Schedule 5.4 (and including such other authorizations, approvals, registrations, actions, notices or filings
as have already been obtained, made or taken and are in full force and effect), no consent or authorization
of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person,
including the FERC, to which any Borrower or other Loan Party is subject, is required in connection with
the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, validity or enforceability of the Loan
Documents to which the Loan Parties are a party; provided that approval by the FERC may be required
for the transfer of direct or indirect ownership or control of FERC Contract Collateral; provided, further,
that no approval of the FERC is required for the granting of the security interest in the FERC Contract
Collateral to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. As of the Restatement
Effective Date, the only contracts comprising FERC Contract Collateral of the Loan Parties and their
respective Subsidiaries as to which further consent of the FERC may be required in connection with the
exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents are contracts for the

Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of such
Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party when
executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party
thereto enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditorsβ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
5.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents
to which any of the Loan Parties is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof
(i) will not violate any Requirement of Law, including any rules or regulations promulgated by the FERC,
in any material respect or where a waiver has not been obtained, in each case to the extent applicable to or
binding upon such Loan Party or its Properties, (ii) will not violate a material Contractual Obligation
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, Governing Documents) of any of the Loan Parties, except where
Β
122
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) will not result
in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues
pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation (other than Liens created by the
Security Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent and Liens permitted by Section 8.3).
5.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation or proceeding to which a Loan Party is party
before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party,
threatened by or against any Loan Party or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with
respect to any of the Loan Documents, (b) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by or
occurring simultaneously with the entering into of any of the Loan Documents in which such litigation or
proceeding is material and has a reasonable basis in fact, or (c) which could, after giving effect to any
insurance, bond or reserve, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.7 No Default. No Loan Party is in default under or with respect to any Contractual
Obligation in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
5.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Except for matters disclosed on the title reports
and surveys, including minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as
currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where
the failure to have such title could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each
Loan Party has defensible title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and
good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its tangible personal property, and none of such property
is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 8.3.
5.9 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns, is licensed to use or has a common
law or contractual right to access and use, all material trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents,
industrial designs, technology, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as
currently conducted (the βIntellectual Propertyβ) except for those the failure to own or license which
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.9,
no claim has been asserted nor is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use by any such
Loan Party of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual
Property, nor does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any such claim, except any claim that
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property
by the Loan Parties does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and
infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.10 No Burdensome Restrictions. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation
of any Loan Party has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.11 Taxes. (a) Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or
caused to be filed all material Tax returns required to be filed and has timely paid all material Taxes due
and payable by it or imposed with respect to any of its property and all other material fees or other
charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any Taxes the
amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Loan
Parties). Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has withheld all employee withholdings and has
made all employer contributions required to be withheld and made by it pursuant to applicable law on
account of the Canada and Quebec pension plans, employment insurance and employee income taxes.
(b) There are no Liens for Taxes and no claim is being asserted with respect to Taxes, except
Β
123
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
for statutory liens for Taxes not yet due and payable or for Taxes the amount or validity of which are
currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and, in each case, with respect to
which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the MLP.
5.12 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will
be used for βpurchasingβ or βcarryingβ any βmargin stockβ within the respective meanings of each of the
quoted terms under Regulation U, or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with,
the provisions of the regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent,
the U.S. Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing
effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation
U.
5.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to satisfy the minimum funding
requirements of Section 412 or 430 of the Code has occurred during the six-year period prior to the date
on which this representation is made or deemed made or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to
any Single Employer Plan, no Plan is reasonably expected to be in βat riskβ status within the meaning of
Section 430 of the Code and each Plan (including, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, a Multiemployer
Plan or a multiemployer welfare plan maintained pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement) has
complied in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and the constituent documents
of such Plan, except for instances of non-compliance that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred
during such six-year period or is reasonably expected to occur (other than a termination described in
Section 4041(b) of ERISA), and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen during such six-year
period or is reasonably expected to arise. Except to the extent that any such excess could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single
Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual
valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of
the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits. Except to the extent that such liability could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) neither the Loan Parties nor any Commonly
Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and (ii) the
Loan Parties would not become subject to any liability under ERISA if a Loan Party or any Commonly
Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date
most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. To the knowledge
of the Loan Parties, no such Multiemployer Plan is Insolvent or terminating or is reasonably expected to
become Insolvent or be terminated or is, or is reasonably expected to be in endangered, seriously
endangered or critical status, in each case within the meaning of Section 432 of the Code. Except to the
extent that any such excess could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the
present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the
benefits provided and the employees participating) of the aggregate liabilities of the Loan Parties and
each Commonly Controlled Entity for the provision of post-retirement benefits to their current and former
employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) do not, in
the aggregate, exceed the total assets under all such Plans allocable to such benefits except as disclosed in
the financial statements of the Loan Parties. Neither the Loan Parties nor any Commonly Controlled
Entity has engaged in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the
Code in connection with any Plan that would subject any Loan Party to liability under ERISA and/or
Section 4975 of the Code that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as
could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (1)
each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable
determination letter from the IRS covering such planβs most recently completed five-year remedial
amendment cycle in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2007-44, I.R.B. 2007-28, indicating that such
Plan is so qualified and the trust related thereto has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to
Β
124
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code or an application for such a
determination is currently pending before the Internal Revenue Service and, to the knowledge of the
Borrowers, nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of the most recent determination letter which
would cause such Plan to lose its qualified status; (2) no liability to the PBGC (other than required
premium payments) or the IRS with respect to any Plan, any Plan or Single Employer Plan or any trust
established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by any Loan Party or any
Commonly Controlled Entity; (3) no Event of Default under Section 9.1(h) hereof has occurred and
neither the Borrowers nor any Commonly Controlled Entity is aware of any fact, event or circumstance
that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an Event of Default; and (4) each of the Loan
Partiesβ Commonly Controlled Entities have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA
with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in βdefaultβ (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of
ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.
5.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. None of the Loan Parties is
required to register as an βinvestment companyβ, or a company βcontrolledβ by an βinvestment
companyβ, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Loan Parties are not subject
to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board)
which limits their ability to incur Indebtedness.
5.15 Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.15 sets forth as of the Restatement Effective Date the
names of all direct or indirect Subsidiaries of the MLP, their respective forms of organization, their
respective jurisdictions of organization, the total number of issued and outstanding shares or other
interests of Capital Stock thereof, the classes and number of issued and outstanding shares or other
interests of Capital Stock of each such class, and with respect to the MLP, the name of each holder of
general partnership interests thereof and the number of general partnership interests held by each such
holder.
5.16 Security Documents. (a) The provisions of the Security Documents are effective
to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a legal, valid
and enforceable Lien in all right, title and interest of each Loan Party party thereto in the βCollateralβ
described therein, subject to any Liens permitted by Section 8.3.
(b) When any stock certificates representing Pledged Collateral are delivered to the
Administrative Agent, and proper financing statements or other applicable filings listed in Schedule 5.16
have been filed in the offices in the jurisdictions listed in Schedule 5.16, the U.S. Pledge Agreement shall

party thereto in the βPledged Collateralβ described therein, subject to any Liens permitted by Section 8.3.
(d) When the duly executed Dutch Security Documents in respect of the Pledged Collateral
are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and the proper registration of the Dutch Receivables Pledge
Agreement with the tax authorities in the Netherlands has been completed and the proper entries into the
members' register in respect of the Dutch Membership Pledge Agreement have been completed, the Dutch

Party thereto in the portion of the βCollateralβ described therein that consists of Pledged Accounts
consisting of Deposit Accounts maintained with a financial institution in Canada, prior and superior in

Anti-Corruption Laws, applicable Requirements of Law relating to money laundering and applicable
Sanctions in all material respects and are not knowingly engaged in any activity that would reasonably be
expected to result in the U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower being designated as a Sanctioned
Person. None of (a) the U.S. Borrower, any Subsidiary or to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower or such
Subsidiary any of their respective directors, officers, employees or Affiliates, or (b) to the knowledge of

withdrawals or applications of the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans
contrary to the terms of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans, respectively, or
applicable law. No promises of benefit improvements under the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian
Benefit Plans have been made except where such improvement could not be reasonably expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect and, in any event, no such improvements will result in a solvency deficiency or
going concern unfunded liability in the affected Canadian Pension Plans. The pension fund under each
Canadian Pension Plan is exempt from the payment of any income tax and there are no taxes, penalties or
interest owing in respect of any such pension fund. All material reports and disclosures relating to the
Canadian Pension Plans required by such plans and any Requirement of Law to be filed or distributed
have been filed or distributed. There has been no partial termination of any Canadian Pension Plan and no
facts or circumstances have occurred or existed that could result, or be reasonably anticipated to result, in

Requirements of Law. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.25, there are no outstanding disputes concerning
the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans. Except as set forth on Schedule
5.25, each of the Canadian Pension Plans is fully funded on both a going concern and on a solvency basis
(using actuarial methods and assumptions which are consistent with the valuations last filed with the

representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement

inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the U.S.
Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts
selected by such Agent with reasonable care. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the
owner thereof for all purposes unless a notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have

under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence

acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance

occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a
Lender, or any Borrower or any other Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a βnotice of defaultβ. In the event that the Administrative
Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The

acknowledges that none of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act
by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower or any other Credit
Party or any audit performed by the Administrative Agentβs internal auditor pursuant to Section 6.1(l),
shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender
represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger of
the Facilities, any Commitments or any amendment to this Agreement or any other Lender and their
respective Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and made its own decision to
extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that
it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger of the Facilities, any
Commitments or any amendment to this Agreement or any other Lender and their respective Related
Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to
the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers
and other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished
to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition
(financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party which
may come into the possession of such Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no
Agent shall have any duty to monitor the Collateral used to calculate the U.S. Borrowing Base or the
Kildair Borrowing Base or the reporting requirements or the contents of reports delivered by any
Borrower. Each Lender assumes the responsibility of keeping itself informed at all times.
10.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and each other
Agent-Related Person on an after-Tax basis in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their
respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought, from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time
following the payment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and the cash collateralization of the
L/C Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Agent-Related
Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with
any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting solely from such Agentβs or such Agent-Related Personβs gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans,
Reimbursement Obligations and all amounts payable hereunder and the cash collateralization of the L/C
Β

Obligations.
10.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates
as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to
the Loans and other extensions of credit made by it hereunder, each Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not an Agent, and the terms βLenderβ and βLendersβ shall include each Agent in its
individual capacity.
10.9 Successor Agents. (a) (i) The Administrative Agent may resign as the
Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) daysβ notice to the Canadian Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the
U.S. Borrower and the Lenders (or, if the Administrative Agent has become the subject of a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has
taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such
proceeding or appointment or has a parent company that has become the subject of a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has
taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such
proceeding or appointment, the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time thereafter by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
and signed by the Required Lenders). If the Administrative Agent shall resign (or be removed) as the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders
shall appoint from among the Lenders (unless no Lender is willing to act as the Administrative Agent, in
which case the Administrative Agent may be any Person approved by the Required Lenders) a successor
Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent shall be approved by the
U.S. Borrower and the Canadian Agent (which approval shall, in each case, not be unreasonably withheld
and shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), whereupon such successor
Administrative Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the
term βAdministrative Agentβ shall mean such successor Administrative Agent effective upon such
appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agentβs rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such
former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or other
Obligations. After any retiring Administrative Agentβs resignation (or removal) as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no
successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is
thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agentβs notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agentβs resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall
perform all of the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
(ii) The Canadian Agent may resign as the Canadian Agent upon thirty (30) daysβ
notice to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders (or, if
the Canadian Agent has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a
receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or
indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment or has a
parent company that has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a
receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or
indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment, the
Canadian Agent may be removed at any time thereafter by an instrument or concurrent instruments in
Β
171
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
writing delivered to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent and signed by the
Required Lenders). If the Canadian Agent shall resign (or be removed) as the Canadian Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders (unless no Lender is willing to act as the Canadian Agent, in which case the Canadian Agent may
be any Person approved by the Required Lenders) a successor Canadian Agent for the Lenders, which
successor Canadian Agent shall be approved by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which
approval, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required during the
continuance of an Event of Default), whereupon such successor Canadian Agent shall succeed to the
rights, powers and duties of the Canadian Agent and the term βCanadian Agentβ shall mean such
successor Canadian Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Canadian
Agentβs rights, powers and duties as Canadian Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act
or deed on the part of such former Canadian Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders
of the Loans or other Obligations. After any retiring Canadian Agentβs resignation (or removal) as
Canadian Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Canadian Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. If no successor Canadian Agent has accepted appointment as Canadian Agent by the date
which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Canadian Agentβs notice of resignation, the retiring
Canadian Agentβs resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall
perform all of the duties of such Canadian Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents until
such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
(b) Either or both Co-Collateral Agents may resign as a Co-Collateral Agent upon
thirty (30) daysβ notice to the Administrative Agent, the other Co-Collateral Agent (if any), the U.S.
Borrower and the Lenders. Upon any such resignation, the remaining Co-Collateral Agent (the βSole
Remaining Co-Collateral Agentβ) shall perform all of the functions of the Co-Collateral Agents and the
retiring Co-Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If both Co-
Collateral Agents shall resign substantially simultaneously or the Sole Remaining Co-Collateral Agent
shall resign, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (unless no Lender is
willing to act as a Co-Collateral Agent, in which case the Co-Collateral Agent may be any Person
approved by the Required Lenders) a successor Co-Collateral Agent for the Lenders, who shall be the
sole successor Co-Collateral Agent hereunder (the βSole Successor Co-Collateral Agentβ) and which Sole
Successor Co-Collateral Agent shall be approved by the U.S. Borrower (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default),
whereupon such Sole Successor Co-Collateral Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
Co-Collateral Agents and the term βCo-Collateral Agentsβ shall mean such Sole Successor Co-Collateral
Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Co-Collateral Agentsβ rights,
powers and duties as Co-Collateral Agents shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on
the part of such former Co-Collateral Agents or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the
Loans or other Obligations. After any retiring Co-Collateral Agentβs resignation as Co-Collateral Agent,
the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was Co-Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no successor
Co-Collateral Agent has accepted appointment as Co-Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30)
days following a retiring Sole Remaining Co-Collateral Agentβs notice of resignation or the substantially
simultaneous retiring of both Co-Collateral Agents, the resignation of the retiring Co-Collateral Agent(s)
shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Co-
Collateral Agent(s) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of any right of
pledge governed by Netherlands law, any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective with
respect to its rights under the Parallel Debt (as defined in the Guarantee) until such rights are assigned to
Β
172
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
the successor agent. The Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its rights under the
Parallel Debt to any such successor agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under
any security document governed by Netherlands law (as the case may be) to such successor agent.
10.10 Collateral Matters. (a) The Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of all
of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to
time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to
perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to
the Loan Documents.
(b) The Lenders, and each Qualified Counterparty and each Qualified Cash Management
Bank (pursuant to the terms of the applicable Hedging Agreement Qualification Notification and/or by
accepting the grant by the Loan Parties of the security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the Security
Documents), irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release
any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the
Commitments, and payment in full of all Loans and all other Obligations known to the Administrative
Agent and payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except indemnification
obligations for which no claim has been made and of which no Responsible Person of any Loan Party has
knowledge or any obligations owed under a Commodity OTC Agreement with a Qualified Counterparty,
any Financial Hedging Agreement with a Qualified Counterparty or any Cash Management Bank
Agreement with a Qualified Cash Management Bank); (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or
disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition permitted hereunder;
(iii) constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or
at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to any Loan Party under a lease which has expired
or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has
not been, and is not intended by a Loan Party to be, renewed or extended; (v) consisting of an instrument
evidencing Indebtedness or other debt instrument, if the indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in
full; or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the portion of the Lenders required by Section
11.1. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the
Administrative Agentβs authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section
10.10; provided that the absence of any such confirmation for whatever reason shall not affect the
Administrative Agentβs rights under this Section 10.10.
(c) The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.
10.11 The Co-Collateral Agents; Co-Documentation Agents and the Co-Syndication
Agents. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all determinations of the Co-
Collateral Agents under the Loan Documents shall be made jointly by the Co-Collateral Agents, provided
that, in the event that the Co-Collateral Agents cannot agree on any matter to be determined by the Co-
Collateral Agents, the determination shall be made by the individual Co-Collateral Agent asserting, in its
discretion exercised in good faith, the more conservative credit judgment or declining to permit the
requested action for which consent is being sought by the applicable Loan Party. This provision shall be
binding upon any successor to a Co-Collateral Agent.
(b) None of any Co-Documentation Agent or any Co-Syndication Agent, in their
respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall any such Person in such
Β
173
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
capacity incur any liability under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
10.12 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the
Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the
Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either
directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale
thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or
1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions, or (b) at any other sale,
foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction
of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable
law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties
shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required
Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving
contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such
claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in
allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt
instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In
connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more
acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii)
each of the Secured Partiesβ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed
without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose
of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for
the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative
Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or
equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall
provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of
this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case
may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on
actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 11.1 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative
Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured
Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity,
partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or
debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or
acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an
acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being
higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the
amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall
automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt
instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be
cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.
Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to
the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such
documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured
Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle,
the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
Β
174
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
such credit bid.

waiver or consent and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

such release is permitted or required under this Agreement; or
(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 4.7(d) or (e), Section

Β
175
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
Agreement, Section 8(b) of the Canadian Security Agreement, Section
14 of the Dutch Receivables Pledge Agreement or Section 14 of the

obligations of any Issuing Lenders, without the additional written
consent of any Issuing Lender directly affected thereby; or
(x) amend, modify or waive any provision affecting the rights, duties or
obligations of any Swing Line Lender, without the written consent of any
Swing Line Lender directly affected thereby.
Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply
equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all
future holders of the Loans and other Obligations. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders
and the Agents shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing,
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the
U.S. Borrower, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any
Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect
or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document and (b) any waiver,
amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms
affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require

to any Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of
any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrowerβs or any Agentβs

11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other
Β
178
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein and in the other Loan Documents provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.
11.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
made herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered
pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.
11.5 Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations. (a) Upon any sale or other
transfer of any Collateral that is permitted under the Loan Documents by any Loan Party or a sale of all of
the assets of, or all of the Capital Stock of, a Subsidiary in a transaction that is permitted under the Loan
Documents (other than a sale, transfer or other disposition to another Loan Party), or upon the

Obligations payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except indemnification

have been terminated, expired, Cash Collateralized or otherwise dealt with to the satisfaction of the
applicable Issuing Lender, the pledge and security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the
applicable Loan Party. Upon any such termination or pursuant to any termination or release as described
in Section 11.5(a), the Administrative Agent will, at the applicable Loan Partyβs expense, execute and
deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.
11.6 Payment of Costs and Expenses. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees (a)
to pay or reimburse each Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Amendment Arranger for all its reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the

6.1(l), and any other due diligence performed in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agents
(including the fees and expenses of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP), (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold
each Lender, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders, each Agent, the Lead Arranger and the
Amendment Arranger harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with
respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes (except to the

any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of,
or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment,
supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent (including the determination of whether or not
any such waiver or consent is required) under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and any such other documents, and (e) on a net after-Tax basis, to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender,
the Issuing Lenders, the Agents and the Arrangers, and each of their respective officers, employees,

judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the
reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a
whole, and if necessary, one regulatory counsel and a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate
jurisdiction for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of
interest, by another firm of counsel for the affected Indemnitee)) other than Taxes (as to which Section
4.10 and Section 4.11 shall govern) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any such other documents or the use or
proposed use of proceeds of the Facilities, including any of the foregoing relating to the violation of,
noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Loan
Parties and any of their Subsidiaries, or any of the Properties, or 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 (all the foregoing in this
clause (e), collectively, the βIndemnified Liabilitiesβ); provided that the Borrowers shall have no
obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such
Indemnified Liabilities (x) are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or any Related Person thereof, (y) are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from any material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or
any Related Person thereof or (z) result from any proceeding that is solely among Indemnitees (other than
any proceeding against any Agent or Arranger or Person fulfilling a similar role in respect of the Facilities
in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as such) and does not involve an act or omission by the U.S.
Borrower or any of its Affiliates. The agreements in this Section 11.6 shall survive repayment of the
Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
11.7 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Agents and their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any purported
such assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent of each Lender shall be null and void).
(b) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more
banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates or any natural person) (individually, a βParticipantβ and, collectively, the βParticipantsβ) (so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, only to a Person other than an
Ineligible Participant) participating interests in any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation owing to such
Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the
Β
180
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
other Loan Documents (a βParticipationβ). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating
interest to a Participant, such Lenderβs obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance
thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan, Reimbursement Obligation or other
interest for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrowers and the
Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenderβs rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except with respect to Section 4.10
and 4.11, under which the Participant has certain rights with respect thereto. In no event shall any
Participant under any such Participation have any right to approve any amendment to or waiver of any
provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to
the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or the stated rate of
interest on, the Loans, Reimbursement Obligation or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of
the final maturity of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, in each case to the extent subject to such
Participation (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each Borrower may exercise any rights granted to them in
Section 4.17 with respect to the Lender that sold a Participation to such Participant to the extent that the
direction by such Participant to such Lender to not consent to any such amendment would cause the
applicable Lender to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.17). The Borrowers agree that if amounts
outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid during an Event of Default, or shall have been
declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, be deemed to have the right of
setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as
if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement;
provided that in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to
share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 11.8(a) as fully as if it were a Lender
hereunder. The Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and be
bound by the obligations imposed on the Lenders in, Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 4.14 with respect to its
Participation in the Commitments and the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder outstanding
from time to time as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 4.11(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender); provided, that no Participant shall be
entitled to receive any greater payments under Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 4.14, with respect to its
participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such
entitlement to receive a greater payment results from change in Law that occurs after the Participant
acquired the applicable participation and the Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section
4.17, as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation
agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section
4.17 with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participantβs interest in
the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the βParticipant Registerβ); provided that no
Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participantβs interest in any commitments,
loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the
extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other
obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for
maintaining a Participant Register.
(c) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable Law, at any time and from time to time
Β
181
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
assign to any Lender or any Subsidiary, Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof, or, with the consent of the
Administrative Agent, and, in the case of an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the
Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an assignment of any Working Capital Facility
Commitment, the Relevant Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders and the Relevant Swing Line
Lenders, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any other Person (other than the U.S. Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, any natural person or any Defaulting Lender) (the βAssigneeβ), all
or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to
an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, appropriately completed (an
βAssignment and Acceptanceβ), executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an
Assignee that is not then a Lender or any Subsidiary, Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof, by the
Administrative Agent, and, in the case of an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the
Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an Assignment of any Working Capital Facility
Commitment, the Relevant Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders and the Relevant Swing Line
Lenders, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the U.S. Borrower is not
deemed to consent to such assignment, the U.S. Borrower) and attaching the Assigneeβs relevant tax
forms, administrative details and wiring instructions, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its
acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (i) each such assignment to an Assignee (other
than any Lender) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof (other than in the case of (A) an assignment of all of a Lenderβs interests
under this Agreement or (B) an assignment to another Lender, a Subsidiary, an Affiliate or an Approved
Fund of such assigning Lender), unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower (such amount to be aggregated in
respect of assignments by to any Lender and the affiliates or Approved Funds thereof), (ii) in the case of
an assignment by a Lender to a Bank CLO managed by such Lender or an affiliate of such Lender, unless
such assignment to such Bank CLO has been consented to by the Administrative Agent, and in the case of
an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in
the case of an Assignment of any Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Relevant Working Capital
Facility Issuing Lenders, and the Relevant Swing Line Lenders, and, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the U.S. Borrower is not deemed to consent to such assignment, the U.S.
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the assigning Lender shall retain the
sole right to approve any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document; provided that the Assignment and Acceptance between such Lender and such Bank CLO may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such Bank CLO, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to
Section 11.2, and (iii) each Assignee shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.11(e). Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to
such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with
Commitments as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case
of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lenderβs rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph (c) and paragraph (e) of this Section 11.7, (x) the consent
of the U.S. Borrower shall not be required, and, unless requested by the Assignee and/or the assigning
Lender, new Notes shall not be required to be executed and delivered by the Borrowers, for any
assignment which occurs at any time when any of the events described in Section 9.1(g) shall have
occurred and be continuing and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any
assignment that requires consent of the U.S. Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received
notice thereof. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
Β
182
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
does not comply with this Section 11.7 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 Section 11.7(b).
(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the address of
the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered
to it and a register (the βRegisterβ) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders
(including all Assignees and successors) and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated
interest) of the Loans and other Obligations owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries made in
the Register shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded (absent manifest error), and the Borrowers,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other Obligation
hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the
owner of a Loan or other Obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that the
failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register, or any error therein, shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans and other extensions of
credit hereunder made to any Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Any assignment of any Loan or other Obligation hereunder, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be
effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall
be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. The parties intend for the Loans or other Obligations to be in registered
form for tax purposes and this provision shall be construed in accordance with that intent.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and
an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender (or any Subsidiary, Affiliate or
Approved Fund thereof), by the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of an assignment of the
Acquisition Facility Commitments, the Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an
assignment of any Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Relevant Working Capital Facility Issuing
Lenders and the Relevant Swing Line Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the U.S. Borrower is not deemed to consent to such assignment, the U.S. Borrower),
together with payment to the Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender of a registration and
processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and
Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained
therein in the applicable Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and
the U.S. Borrower.
(f) Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a
βTransfereeβ) and any prospective Transferee (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, other than an Ineligible Participant) in each case, any and all financial information in such
Lenderβs possession concerning the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and
Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower or the other Loan
Parties pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any
Borrower or other Loan Parties in connection with such Lenderβs credit evaluation of the Borrowers, the
other the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement;
provided that such Transferee or prospective Transferee shall have agreed to be bound by the provisions
of Section 11.16 hereof.
(g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of
this Section 11.7 concerning assignments of Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and Notes
relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security
interests, including (i) any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve
Β
183
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
Bank (including the Bank of Canada) or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender in
accordance with applicable Law and (ii) any pledge or assignment by a Lender which is a fund to its
trustee for the benefit of such trustee and/or its investors to secure its obligations under any indenture or
Governing Documents to which it is a party; 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.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may, with notice to, but without consent of,
any Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and in accordance with the definition of βConduit Lenderβ
set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and the terms of this Section 11.7(h), designate a Conduit Lender and fund
any of the Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts which such Lender is obligated to make or pay hereunder by
causing such Conduit Lender to fund such Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts on behalf of such Lender.
Any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts it may have funded
hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent and
without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.7(c). Each Borrower, each Lender and each Agent
hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting
against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceeding under any state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law in connection with any obligation of
such Conduit Lender under the Loan Documents, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the
latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each
Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other
party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding
against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Conduit Lender may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, any
Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a
portion of its interests in any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations to any financial institutions (consented
to by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for
the account of such Conduit Lender to support the funding or maintenance of Loans or Reimbursement
Obligations by such Conduit Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information
relating to its Loans and its Reimbursement Obligations to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or
provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such Conduit Lender. This clause
(h) may not be amended without the written consent of any Conduit Lender directly affected thereby.
11.8 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a βBenefited Lenderβ) shall at any time
receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or Reimbursement Obligations with regards to either
Facility, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(g), or
otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender
under such Facility, if any, in respect of such other Lenderβs Loans or Reimbursement Obligations under
such Facility, or interest thereon, except to the extent specifically provided hereunder, such Benefited
Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders under such Facility a participating interest in such
portion of each such other Lenderβs Loans or Reimbursement Obligations under such Facility, or shall
provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or
proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders under such Facility; except that with respect to any Lender that
is a Defaulting Lender by virtue of such Lender failing to fund its Commitment Percentage of any Loan or
Participation Obligation, such Defaulting Lenderβs pro rata share of the excess payment shall be allocated
to the Lender (or the Lenders, pro rata) that funded such Defaulting Lenderβs Commitment Percentage
thereof; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and
benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided further, that to the extent
Β
184
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of βExcluded Swap Obligation,β no amounts
received from, or set off with respect to, any Loan Party shall be applied to any Excluded Swap
Obligations of such Loan Party. Each Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of
another Lenderβs Loans or Reimbursement Obligations may exercise all rights of payment (including
rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such
portion.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, each Lender shall
have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law, during the existence of an Event of Default, upon
any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits,
indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or
for the credit or the account of the applicable Borrower. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the U.S.
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender;
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off or application.
11.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission or electronic
mail transmission in portable document format of signature pages hereto), and all of said counterparts
taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed
signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in portable document
format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this
Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
11.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
11.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the
agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or
referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
11.12 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
11.13 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and

Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of
any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New

claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to the Loan Parties as the case may be, at their address set forth in Section 11.2 or at such other
address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other
manner permitted by Law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by Law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or

or an agent of, such Borrower or any other Person. Each Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim

with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, each Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that no Lender Party is advising such Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment,
accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. Each Borrower shall consult with its own
advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation

understanding, that each Lender Party is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities
trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In
the ordinary course of business, any Lender Party may provide investment banking and other financial

described herein and otherwise. No Lender Party will use confidential information obtained from the
Borrowers by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships
with the Borrowers in connection with the performance by such Lender Party of services for other
companies, and no Lender Party will furnish any such information to other companies. Each Borrower
also acknowledges that no Lender Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrowers, confidential information obtained
from other companies.

11.20 Joint and Several Liability. (a) All Loans, upon funding, shall be deemed to be
jointly funded to and received by the Borrower Parties, (b) each Borrower Party jointly and severally
agrees to pay, and shall be jointly and severally liable under this Agreement for, all Obligations,
regardless of the manner or amount in which proceeds of Loans are used, allocated, shared, or disbursed
by or among the Borrower Parties themselves, or the manner in which an Agent and/or any Lender
accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, (c) each Borrower Party
shall be liable for all amounts due to an Agent and/or any Lender under this Agreement, regardless of
which Borrower Party actually receives Loans or other Extensions of Credit hereunder or the amount of
such Loans and Extensions of Credit received or the manner in which such Agent and/or such Lender
accounts for such Loans or other Extensions of Credit on its books and records, and (d) each Borrower
Partyβs Obligations with respect to Loans and other Extensions of Credit made to it, and such Borrower
Partyβs Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower Party hereunder,
with respect to Loans and other Extensions of Credit made to the other Borrower Parties hereunder, shall
be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of such
Borrower Party. The Borrower Parties acknowledge and expressly agree with the Agents and each Lender
that the joint and several liability of each Borrower Party is required solely as a condition to, and is given
solely as inducement for and in consideration of, credit or accommodations extended or to be extended
under the Loan Documents to any or all of the other Borrower Parties and is not required or given as a
condition of Extensions of Credit to such Borrower Party. Each Borrower Partyβs obligations under this
Agreement shall be separate and distinct obligations. Each Borrower Partyβs obligations under this
Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or
enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower Party or of any Note
or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower Party, (ii) the
absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower Party, any other Loan Party, or
any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver,
consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by an Agent and/or any Lender with
respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower Party or any
other Loan Party, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other
Borrower Party or any other Loan Party and delivered to an Agent and/or any Lender, (iv) the failure by
an Agent and/or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve
its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower Party or any other Loan
Party, (v) an Agentβs and/or any Lenderβs election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy
Code or Insolvency Laws, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or
corresponding provisions of Insolvency Laws, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any
Β
190
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
other Borrower Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or under
Insolvency Laws, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of an Agentβs and/or any Lenderβs claim(s)
for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower Party under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy
Code or under Insolvency Laws, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower Party. With respect to any
Borrower Partyβs Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrower Parties
hereunder with respect to Loans or other Extensions of Credit made to any of the other Borrower Parties
hereunder, such Borrower Party waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this
Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which
an Agent and/or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower Party, any
endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to
participate in, any security or collateral given to an Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of the
Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower Party to an Agent and/or any Lender. Upon any Event
of Default, the Agents may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower Party to
collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any
other Borrower Party or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each
Borrower Party consents and agrees that the Agents shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in
favor of any Borrower Party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Each Borrower
Party further acknowledges that credit extended to each Borrower Party hereunder will directly or
indirectly benefit each other Borrower Party.
11.21 Contribution and Indemnification among the Borrower Parties; Subordination.
Each Borrower Party is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligor under this
Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower Party shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several
obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower Party hereunder or
other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower Party (an βAccommodation
Paymentβ), then the Borrower Party making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to
contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrower Parties in an
amount, for each of such other Borrower Parties, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment,
the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower Partyβs Allocable Amount (as defined below) and
the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrower Parties. As of any
date of determination, the βAllocable Amountβ of each Borrower Party shall be equal to the maximum
amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower Party
hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower Party βinsolventβ within the meaning of Section 101(31)
of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (βUFTAβ) or Section 2 of the
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (βUFCAβ), (b) leaving such Borrower Party with unreasonably
small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the
UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower Party unable to pay its debts as they
become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or
Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification, and reimbursement under
this Section 11.21 shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations.
The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any
Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.
11.22 Express Waivers by Borrower Parties in Respect of Cross Guaranties and Cross
Collateralization. Each Borrower Party agrees as follows:
(a) Each Borrower Party hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii)
notice of the making of any Loans, the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any other financial
accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any
Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Obligations, subject, however, to such Borrower Partyβs
Β
191
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent to ascertain the amount of the Obligations at any
reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower Party
or of any other fact that might increase such Borrower Partyβs risk with respect to such other Borrower
Party under the Loan Documents; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice
thereof as to any promissory notes or other instruments among the Loan Documents; and (vi) all other
notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Borrower Party hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower Party is a party) and demands to which
such Borrower Party might otherwise be entitled.
(b) Each Borrower Party hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require an Agent
or any other Secured Party to institute suit against any other Borrower Party or to exhaust any rights and
remedies which an Agent or any other Secured Party has or may have against any other Borrower Party.
Each Borrower Party further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of
any other Borrower Party (other than the defense that the Obligations shall have been fully and finally
performed and paid) or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any such
Borrower Party in respect thereof.
(c) Each Borrower Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert against an Agent or any
Lender: (i) any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Borrower Party
may now or at any time hereafter have against any other Borrower Party or any other party liable under
the Loan Documents; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim of any kind or nature available to
any other Borrower Party against an Agent or any Lender, arising directly or indirectly from the present
or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security
therefor; (iii) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of
remedies by an Agent or any Lender under any applicable law; and (iv) the benefit of any statute of
limitations affecting any other Borrower Partyβs liability hereunder.
(d) Each Borrower Party consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such Borrower
Party and without affecting or impairing the obligations of such Borrower Party hereunder, the Agents
may (subject to any requirement for consent of any of the Lenders to the extent required by this
Agreement), by action or inaction: (i) compromise, settle, extend the duration or the time for the payment
of, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to or otherwise not enforce the Loan Documents; (ii)
release all or any one or more parties to any one or more of the Loan Documents or grant other
indulgences to any other Borrower Party in respect thereof; (iii) amend or modify in any manner and at
any time (or from time to time) any of the Loan Documents; or (iv) release or substitute any Person liable
for payment of the Obligations, or enforce, exchange, release, or waive any security for the Obligations or
any Guarantee of the Obligations.
(e) Each Borrower Party represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that, as of the
date of entry of any Additional Borrower into this Agreement, such Borrower Party is currently informed
of the financial condition of all other Borrower Parties and all other circumstances which a diligent
inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower
Party further represents and warrants that, as of the date of entry of such Borrower Party into this
Agreement, such Borrower Party has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan
Documents. Each Borrower Party agrees that none of the Agents or any Lender has any responsibility to
inform any Borrower Party of the financial condition of any other Borrower Party or of any other
circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.
11.23 Limitation on Obligations of Borrower Parties. In the event that in any action or
proceeding involving any state, provincial, territorial or foreign corporate law, or any state, federal,
provincial, territorial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights
Β
192
509265-1804-0000000000-Active.18599927.1821183188.22
of creditors generally, the obligations of any Borrower Party, including for the obligations of any other
Borrower Party, under this Agreement shall be held or determined to be void, avoidable, invalid or
unenforceable (including because of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable Insolvency
Laws or any applicable state, provincial, territorial or federal Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or
transfers), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of
such liability of a Borrower Party shall, without any further action by any Loan Party, Agent or Lender,
be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable (such highest
amount determined hereunder being the relevant Borrowerβs βMaximum Liabilityβ); provided that
nothing contained in this Section 11.23 shall limit the liability of any Borrower Party to repay Loans
made directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of that Borrower Party or any Subsidiary of that Borrower
Party (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower Party and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred
to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries), Obligations relating to Letters of
Credit issued for the direct or indirect benefit of such Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and all
interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations under the Loan Documents with respect thereto, for
which such Borrower Party shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. This Section 11.23 with
respect to the Maximum Liability of each Borrower Party is intended solely to preserve the rights of the
Agents and the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable Law, and no
Loan Party nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 11.23 with
respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Borrower
Party hereunder shall not be rendered void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable under applicable Law.
11.24 [Reserved].

other Loan Documents to make payments in United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable,
shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or
converted into any currency other than United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, except to
the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent, as applicable, or the respective Lender or Issuing Lender of the full amount of United
States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or
the Canadian Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan

conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent or Canadian Dollar Equivalent, as applicable,

Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Loan Parties shall pay,
or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be
necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of
exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of United States Dollars or
Canadian Dollars, as applicable, which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment
Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment
Currency Conversion Date.
(c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or Canadian Dollar Equivalent
or any other rate of exchange for this Section 11.25, such amounts shall include any premium and costs
