(b) Each of the Canadian Borrowers hereby appoints the U.S. Borrower and each of its officers
to be its attorneys in fact (its “Attorneys”) and in its name and on its behalf and as its act and
deed or otherwise to sign all documents and carry out all such acts as are necessary or appropriate
in connection with executing any Borrowing Request, any Loan Documents or any other instruments,
certificates or documents delivered thereunder or in connection therewith (collectively, the
“Documents”). This Power of Attorney shall be valid for the duration of the term of this
Agreement. Each Canadian Borrower hereby ratifies any and all acts which any of its Attorneys
shall do in order to execute on its behalf, or in connection with, the Documents mentioned herein.
SECTION 1.04 Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans
may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “U.S. Revolving Credit Loan”) or by Type (e.g.,
a “Eurocurrency Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency U.S. Revolving Credit Loan”).
Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “U.S. Revolving Borrowing”) or
by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency U.S.
Revolving Borrowing”).
SECTION 1.05 Exchange Rate Calculations. On each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent
shall (a) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date and (b) give notice thereof to
the Borrowers and to each Lender that shall have requested such information. The Exchange Rates so
determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant
Calculation Date (each, a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset
Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than any other provision expressly
requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rate employed in converting amounts
between U.S. Dollars and Canadian dollars or any other Alternative Currency.
SECTION 1.06 Additional Alternative Currencies. The Borrowers may from time to time request
that Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the
definition of “Alternative Currency;” provided that such requested currency is a lawful
-37-
currency that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into U.S. dollars.
Such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Applicable
Issuing Bank. Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m.
(Standard Time), ten Business Days prior to the date of the requested Letter of Credit (or such
other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Issuing Bank, in
its or their sole discretion). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable
Issuing Bank thereof. The Applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later
than 12:00 p.m. (Standard Time), five Business Days after receipt of such request whether it
consents, in its sole discretion, to the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such
requested currency. Any failure by the Applicable Issuing Bank to respond to such request within
the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Issuing
Bank to issue the requested Letters of Credit in such requested currency at that time. If the
Administrative Agent and the Applicable Issuing Bank consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit
in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrowers and such
currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for
purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain
consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.06, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly so notify the Borrowers.
ARTICLE II

(a) each U.S. Revolving Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make U.S. Revolving
Credit Loans in U.S. dollars to the U.S. Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or after
the Effective Date, and until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the U.S.

(c) each U.S. Term Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a single U.S. Term Loan
in U.S. dollars to the U.S. Borrower on the Effective Date, in a principal amount not to exceed

(f) the Canadian Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Loans in Canadian dollars or U.S.

SECTION 2.02 Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans
made by the Applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their Applicable Pro Rata Percentages of
the applicable Facility; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall
not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood,
however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan
required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section
2.02(g), the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i)
in the case of ABR Loans or U.S. Base Rate Loans, an integral multiple of U.S.$100,000 and in a
minimum amount of U.S.$500,000, (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, an integral multiple of
U.S.$1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of U.S.$3,000,000, (iii) in the case of Canadian
dollar-denominated Loans, an integral multiple of C$100,000 and in a minimum amount of C$1,000,000

Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans as a Canadian Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03.
Each Lender may at its option make any Eurocurrency Loan or Canadian Loan denominated in U.S.
dollars by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;
provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay
such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or cause any Borrower to incur any cost
under Section 2.19 that would not have been incurred but for the exercise of such option.
Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the
Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than
ten Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time or more than ten B/A Borrowings
outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Eurocurrency Borrowings having
different Interest Periods and B/A Borrowings having different Contract Periods, regardless of
whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.
-39-
(c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(g), each U.S. Lender making
Loans denominated in U.S. dollars to the U.S. Borrower shall make each such Loan to be made by it
hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such
account as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m. (Standard Time) in the
case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, or 3:00 p.m. (Standard Time) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by
the U.S. Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. Except with respect to Loans made pursuant
to Section 2.02(g), each Canadian Lender making Loans to a Canadian Borrower shall make each
Canadian Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to such account in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, as the Canadian Administrative
Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m. (Standard Time) in the case of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing or a B/A Borrowing, or 3:00 p.m. (Standard Time) in the case of a Canadian Prime Rate
Borrowing or U.S. Base Rate Borrowing, and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly credit
the amounts so received to an account designated by such Canadian Borrower in the applicable
Borrowing Request.
(d) Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior
to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable
Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Percentage of such Borrowing, the Applicable
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Applicable
Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the
Applicable Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Applicable Administrative Agent
shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such
portion available to the Applicable Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Applicable Borrower
severally agree to repay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Applicable
Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of a Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate
applicable to Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a) or 2.06(c), as the case may be, and (ii) in the
case of such Lender, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by
the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Borrower and
such Lender shall pay such interest to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the same or an
overlapping period, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Applicable
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender shall
repay to the Applicable Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement; provided,
however, that the foregoing does not constitute a waiver by any Borrower of any claim for damages
permitted hereunder and attributable to such Lender. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without
prejudice to any claim any Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent.
(e) Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Applicable
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Administrative Agent for
the account of the Applicable Lenders, the Applicable Issuing Bank or
-40-
the Applicable Swing Line Lender hereunder that the Applicable Borrower will not make such
payment, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that the Applicable Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute
to the Applicable Lenders, the Applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Swing Line Lender, as the
case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Applicable Borrower has not in fact made such
payment, then each of the Applicable Lenders, the Applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Swing
Line Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing
Bank or the Applicable Swing Line Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by
the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled
to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period or Contract Period requested with respect thereto
would end after the Maturity Date.
(g) If an Issuing Bank shall not have received from the U.S. Borrower or the applicable
Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, the payment required to be made by Section 2.21(e) within
the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Applicable
Administrative Agent of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such L/C Disbursement and the Applicable
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each U.S. Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender,
as applicable, of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such L/C Disbursement and its U.S. Revolving Pro
Rata Percentage or Canadian Revolving Pro Rata Percentage, as applicable, thereof. Each such
Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Applicable
Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on such date (or, if such Revolving
Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on any day, not later
than 11:00 a.m. (Standard Time) on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such
Lender’s U.S. Revolving Pro Rata Percentage or Canadian Revolving Pro Rata Percentage, as
applicable, of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such
amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, of
such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the U.S. L/C Exposure or the Canadian
L/C Exposure, as applicable), and the Applicable Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such
Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from such Lenders. The Applicable Administrative Agent will
promptly pay to such Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from a Borrower pursuant to Section
2.21(e) prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (g); any
such amounts received by the Applicable Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted
by the Applicable Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made such payments and to
such Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Lender shall not have made its U.S.
Revolving Pro Rata Percentage or Canadian Revolving Pro Rata Percentage, as applicable, of such L/C
Disbursement available to the Applicable Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and
the Borrower for whose account such L/C Disbursement was made severally agree to pay interest on
such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in
accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Applicable
Administrative Agent for the account
-41-
of such Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of such Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate
applicable to Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a) or 2.06(c), as the case may be, and (ii) in the
case of such Lender, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by
the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error); provided, however,
that the foregoing does not constitute a waiver by any Borrower of any claim for damages permitted
hereunder and attributable to such Lender. In addition, if there is a change in the rate of
exchange prevailing between the Alternative Currency of such L/C Disbursement and the U.S. Dollar
Equivalent thereof as determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent on the date of the L/C
Disbursement and the date of actual payment of the amount due (whether by a U.S. Revolving Lender,
a Canadian Revolving Lender or the Borrower for whose account such L/C Disbursement was made), the
Borrower for whose account such L/C Disbursement was made covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to
be paid, such additional amounts, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in
U.S. Dollars, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will
produce the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such L/C Disbursement which could have been purchased with
the amount of the Alternative Currency of such L/C Disbursement at the rate of exchange prevailing
on the date of the L/C Disbursement. For purposes of determining the U.S. Dollar Equivalent or
rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in
connection with the purchase of the Alternative Currency.

as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be
an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing is specified in
any such notice, then the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Applicable Lenders of any
notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s
portion of the requested Borrowing.

2.02(g), as to which this Section 2.03(b) shall not apply), a Canadian Borrower (or the U.S.
Borrower on its behalf) shall hand deliver, fax or send by electronic communication (e-mail) (or by
telephone notice promptly confirmed by a written, fax or electronic communication (e-mail)) to the
Canadian Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (a) in the case of a B/A Borrowing
or a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Standard Time) three Business Days before
the proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or U.S. Base Rate
Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Standard Time) one Business Day before the proposed Borrowing.
Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by or on behalf of a Responsible

Section 2.02(c)); (vi) the amount of such Borrowing; and (vii) if such Borrowing is to be a B/A
Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Contract Period or Interest Period, respectively,
therefor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing
Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If
no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested
Borrowing shall be a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing (if denominated in Canadian dollars) or a U.S.
Base Rate Borrowing (if denominated in U.S. dollars). If no Contract Period or Interest Period
with respect to a B/A Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowing has been specified in any such notice,
then the applicable Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Contract Period or
Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly advise
the Applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) (and the contents
thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.
(a) The U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each U.S. Revolving Lender holding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans the then unpaid

thereof as set forth in Section 2.06.
(e) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such
Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid such
Lender from time to time under this Agreement, and the purchases and sales by such Lender of

(f) The Administrative Agents shall maintain accounts in which they will record (i) the amount
of each Loan made hereunder, the Class, Type and currency thereof and the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due
and payable from the Applicable Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum
received by the Applicable Administrative Agent hereunder from any Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.
(g) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (e) and (f) above shall
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agents to maintain such accounts or
any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the
Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(h) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note.
In such event, the Applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note
or promissory notes payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event
-44-
any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such
note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant
to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein
or its registered assigns.
SECTION 2.05 Fees. (a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to each U.S. Revolving Lender, through
the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each
year, a commitment fee (the “U.S. Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Percentage on the daily
unused amount of the U.S. Revolving Commitments of such U.S. Revolving Lender to make U.S.
Revolving Credit Loans to the U.S. Borrower during the preceding quarter. Each Canadian Borrower
agrees to pay, jointly and severally, to each Canadian Revolving Lender, through the Canadian
Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year,
a commitment fee (the “Canadian Commitment Fee”; together with the U.S. Commitment Fee, the
“Commitment Fees”) equal to the Applicable Percentage on the daily unused amount of the Canadian
Revolving Commitments of such Canadian Revolving Lender to make Canadian Revolving Credit Loans to
the Canadian Borrowers during the preceding quarter. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fees due to each
Revolving Lender shall commence to accrue on the Effective Date, and shall cease to accrue on the
date on which the applicable Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender shall expire or be
terminated as provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) U.S. Swing Line Loans are not
deducted from the U.S. Revolving Commitments when calculating the commitment fee under this Section
2.05(a) and (ii) Canadian Swing Line Loans are not deducted from the Canadian Revolving Commitments
when calculating the commitment fee under this Section 2.05(a).
(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent and each Lead Arranger,

by such Borrower and such Administrative Agent or such Lead Arranger, including, without
limitation, the fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letters (the “Administrative Agent
Fees”).
(c) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to each U.S. Revolving Lender, through the Administrative
Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing
with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the date on which the U.S.
Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (the
“U.S. L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of the
daily aggregate U.S. L/C Exposure (in each case excluding the portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed L/C Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit) during the preceding quarter (or
shorter period commencing with the Effective Date or ending with the Maturity Date or the date on
which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Commitments of all
Revolving Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Percentage from
time to time used to determine the interest rate on Borrowings comprised of Eurocurrency Loans
pursuant to Section 2.06. Each Canadian Borrower agrees to pay, jointly and severally, to each
Canadian Revolving Lender, through the Canadian Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of
March, June, September and December of each year, commencing with the first such date to occur
after the Effective Date, and on the date on which the Canadian Revolving Commitment of such
Revolving Lender
-45-
shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (the “Canadian L/C Participation Fee”; together
with the U.S. L/C Participation Fee, the “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s
Canadian Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate Canadian L/C Exposure (in each case
excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements in respect of Letters
of Credit) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Effective Date or
ending with the Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have
expired and the Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders shall have been terminated) at a
rate equal to the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on
Borrowings comprised of Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to Section 2.06. Each Borrower agrees to pay
to the Applicable Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued at the request of such
Borrower, (A) a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the greater of (1) 0.125% of the
initial stated amount of such Letter of Credit and (2) $600 (or, with respect to any subsequent
increase to the stated amount of any such Letter of Credit, such increase in the stated amount)
thereof, such fee to be payable on the date of such issuance, increase or extension and (B)
issuance, payment, amendment and transfer fees specified from time to time by such Issuing Bank
(collectively, the “Issuing Bank Fees”). All U.S. L/C Participation Fees and, unless otherwise
agreed by the Applicable Issuing Bank, Issuing Bank Fees, shall be computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. All Canadian L/C Participation Fees shall be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be.
(d) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the
Effective Date a ticking fee calculated on such Lender’s U.S. Commitments and Canadian Commitments
at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum for the period from and including December 28, 2010 until the
Effective Date.
(e) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available U.S. dollars (except
with respect to L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees in respect of Canadian Letters of
Credit, each of which shall be payable in immediately available Canadian dollars), to the
Applicable Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Revolving
Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the Applicable Issuing Bank.
Once paid, absent manifest error, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.06 Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.09, the Loans
comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is
determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times and
calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment
thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in
respect of ABR Loans in effect from time to time.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.09, the Loans comprising each Eurocurrency
Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a
year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in
effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in respect of Eurocurrency Loans in effect
from time to time.
-46-
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.09, the Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Rate
Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and calculated from and including the date of such
Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian
Prime Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in respect of the Canadian Prime Rate Loans in effect
from time to time.
(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.09, the Loans comprising each B/A Borrowing shall
be subject to an Acceptance Fee, payable by the applicable Canadian Borrower on the date of
acceptance of the relevant B/A and calculated as set forth in the definition of the term
“Acceptance Fee” in Section 1.01.
(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.09, the Loans comprising each U.S. Base Rate
Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and calculated from and including the date of such
Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the U.S.
Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in respect of U.S. Base Rate Loans in effect from time to
time.
(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.09, each U.S. Swing Line Loan shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a
year of 360 days at all other times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to
but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Percentage in respect of ABR Loans in effect from time to time.
(g) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.09, each Canadian Swing Line Loan shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366
days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate
and over a year of 360 days at all other times and calculated from and including the date of such
Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to (i) if such
Canadian Swing Line Loan is denominated in Canadian dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate plus the
Applicable Percentage in respect of the Canadian Prime Rate Loans in effect from time to time and
(ii) if such Canadian Swing Line Loan is denominated in U.S. dollars, the U.S. Base Rate plus the
Applicable Percentage in respect of U.S. Base Rate Loans in effect from time to time.
(h) Interest on each Loan shall be payable to the Applicable Administrative Agent on the
Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The
applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, U.S. Base Rate, B/A
Discount Rate, and Acceptance Fee shall be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent, and
such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(i) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any
interest or fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of
any period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate
-47-
used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of
days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360, 365 or 366, as
applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates
or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest
calculation under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.07 Default Interest. If a Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of
or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise,
or under any other Loan Document, such Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to
the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to but excluding the date of actual payment
(after as well as before judgment) (a) in the case of overdue principal, at the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum (subject to Section 9.09) and
(b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the
Prime Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the
rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan (or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, in the case of the
Canadian Borrower) plus 2.00% (subject to Section 9.09).
SECTION 2.08 Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that (a) on the
day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing
the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Adjusted LIBO Rate for Eurocurrency Loans
comprising any requested Borrowing, or (b) if the Applicable Required Lenders shall, by 11:00 a.m.
(Standard Time) at least one (1) Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify
the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for Eurocurrency Loans comprising such
Borrowing will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining
its Eurocurrency Loan during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as
practicable thereafter, give written, fax or electronic communication (e-mail) (or telephone notice
promptly confirmed by a written, fax or electronic communication (e-mail)) notice of such
determination to the Borrowers and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the
Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by a Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing
pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing (or, in the
case of a request by a Canadian Borrower, a U.S. Base Rate Borrowing). Each determination by the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Revolving Commitments and the
L/C Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) The Term Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Effective Date immediately
following the making of the U.S. Term Loan and Canadian Term Loans on such date.
(c) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written, fax or electronic
communication (e-mail) (or by telephone notice promptly confirmed by a written, fax or electronic
communication (e-mail)) notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent, the U.S.
-48-
Borrower or a Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, may at any time in whole permanently
terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, any Class of Commitments; provided,
however, that each partial reduction of any Class of Commitments shall be in an integral multiple
of U.S.$1,000,000, or C$1,000,000, as the case may be.
(d) Each reduction in any Class of Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class. The applicable Borrower
shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the
date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so
terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.
SECTION 2.10 Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrowers shall have the right at
any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent (a) not later than
1:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on the day of the proposed conversion, to convert any Eurocurrency
Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing under the Commitments, (b) not later than 3:00 p.m. (Standard Time)
one Business Day before the proposed conversion to convert any U.S. Base Rate Borrowing under the
Canadian Commitments or to convert any B/A Borrowing into a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, (c) not
later than 3:00 p.m. (Standard Time) three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to
convert any ABR Borrowing or U.S. Base Rate Borrowing into a Eurocurrency Borrowing or to continue
any Eurocurrency Borrowing as a Eurocurrency Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, (d) not
later than 3:00 p.m. (Standard Time) three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the
Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period
and (e) not later than 1:00 p.m. (Standard Time) three Business Days prior to conversion or
continuation, to convert any Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing to a B/A Borrowing or to continue any
B/A Borrowing as a B/A Borrowing for an additional Contract Period, subject in each case to the
following:
(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in
accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or
continued Borrowing;
(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be
converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations
specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) and, if applicable, Section 2.22, regarding the
principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;
(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Applicable
Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Type and/or
Interest Period or Contract Period for such Borrowing resulting from such conversion;
accrued interest on any Eurocurrency Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid
by the Applicable Borrower at the time of conversion;
(iv) if any Eurocurrency Borrowing or B/A Borrowing is converted at a time other than
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Applicable Borrower shall pay, upon
demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.15;
-49-
(v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month
may not be converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a B/A Borrowing;
(vi) any portion of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a B/A Borrowing that cannot be
converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a B/A Borrowing by reason of the
immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest
Period or Contract Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, a U.S. Base
Rate Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, as the case may be;
(vii) upon notice to the Borrowers from the Administrative Agent given at the request
of the Applicable Required Lenders after the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a
Eurocurrency Loan or a B/A Loan, respectively; and
(viii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be
converted to a Eurocurrency Loan.
Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable, shall be hand delivered, faxed
or sent by electronic communication (e-mail) (or by telephone notice promptly confirmed by a
written, fax or electronic communication (e-mail)) and shall refer to this Agreement and specify
(i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Applicable Borrower requests be converted or
continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, an ABR Borrowing, a B/A Borrowing, a U.S. Base Rate Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Rate
Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be
a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency
Borrowing or a B/A Borrowing, the Interest Period or Contract Period with respect thereto. If no
Interest Period or Contract Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion
to or continuation as a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a B/A Borrowing, the Applicable Borrower shall be
deemed to have selected an Interest Period or Contract Period of one month’s or 30 days’, as the
case may be, duration. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Applicable
Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any
converted or continued Borrowing. If a Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with
this Section 2.10 to continue any Eurocurrency or B/A Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period
or Contract Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10
to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR
Borrowing, a U.S. Base Rate Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, as applicable.
SECTION 2.11 Optional Prepayment. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from
time to time to prepay any Borrowing (other than Bankers’ Acceptances or B/A Equivalent Loans,
which may, however, be defeased as provided below), in whole or in part, upon written, fax or
electronic communication (e-mail) (or by telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, fax or
electronic communication (e-mail)) delivered to the Applicable Administrative Agent by (i) 3:00
p.m. (Standard Time) at least three Business Days prior to the
-50-
date designated for such prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, (ii) 1:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on the date designated for such prepayment in the case of
any prepayment of an ABR Borrowing under the U.S. Commitments, or (iii) 3:00 p.m. (Standard Time)
one Business Day prior to the date designated for such prepayment, in the case of an ABR Borrowing,
a U.S. Base Rate Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing under the Canadian Commitments;
provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is a minimum amount of
U.S.$500,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$100,000 in excess thereof (or C$500,000 and C$100,000,
respectively, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars); and provided further that
the Canadian Borrowers may defease any B/A or B/A Equivalent Loan by depositing with the Canadian
Administrative Agent an amount that, together with interest accruing on such amount to the end of
the Contract Period for such B/A or B/A Equivalent Loan is sufficient to pay such maturing Bankers’
Acceptances or B/A Equivalent Loans when due. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly
advise the Applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.11 and of each
Lender’s portion of such prepayment.
(b) The U.S. Borrower may, upon notice to the U.S. Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay U.S. Swing Line Loans
in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by
the U.S. Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on
the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of
$100,000.
(c) Either Canadian Borrower may, upon notice to the Canadian Swing Line Lender (with a copy
to the Canadian Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay
Canadian Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such
notice must be received by the Canadian Swing Line Lender and the Canadian Administrative Agent not
later than 1:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment
shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.
(d) Each notice of prepayment shall specify (i) the amount to be prepaid, (ii) the prepayment
date and (iii) the Class and Type of Loans to be repaid and shall commit the Applicable Borrower to
prepay such obligations by the amount specified therein on the date specified therein. All
prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.15, but shall otherwise be
without premium or penalty. Each prepayment of outstanding U.S. Term Loans or Canadian Term Loans,
respectively, pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to the principal repayment
installments thereof in inverse order of maturity.
SECTION 2.12 Mandatory Prepayments. In the event of any termination of all the U.S. Revolving
Commitments or Canadian Revolving Commitments, the Applicable Borrower shall, on the date of such
termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans or Canadian Revolving
Credit Loans, as applicable, and replace all outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount
equal to the sum of the U.S. L/C Exposure or the Canadian L/C Exposure, as applicable, in cash in a
cash collateral account established with the U.S. Collateral Agent for the benefit of the U.S.
Secured Parties or the Canadian Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Canadian Secured Parties.
In the event of any partial reduction of the U.S. Revolving Commitments or the Canadian Revolving
Commitments,
-51-
then (i) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Applicable Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure or
the aggregate Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure, as the case may be, after giving effect thereto,
and (ii) if the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure or the aggregate Canadian Revolving Credit
Exposure, as the case may be, would exceed the Total U.S. Revolving Commitment or Total Canadian
Revolving Commitment, respectively, after giving effect to such reduction, then the U.S. Borrower
or the Canadian Borrowers, as the case may be, shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or
prepay Revolving Borrowings (or defease B/A Borrowings as described in Section 2.11(a)) and/or
replace or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate
such excess. If on any Calculation Date, the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed
the Total U.S. Revolving Commitment, then on the immediately succeeding Reset Date the U.S.
Borrower shall repay or prepay U.S. Revolving Borrowings and/or replace or cash collateralize
outstanding U.S. Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. If on any
Calculation Date, the aggregate Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Canadian
Revolving Commitment, then on the immediately succeeding Reset Date the Canadian Borrowers shall
repay or prepay Canadian Revolving Borrowings (or defease B/A Borrowings as described in Section
2.11(a)) and/or replace or cash collateralize outstanding Canadian Letters of Credit in an amount
sufficient to eliminate such excess.
SECTION 2.13 Increased Costs; Capital Requirements. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of or credit extended or participated in by any Lender or Issuing
Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or B/A
Discount Rate), (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or Swing
Line Loan, or any Eurodollar Loan or B/A Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of
payments to such Lender or the Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes covered by Section 2.19 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank); or (iii) impose on any Lender or Issuing
Bank or the London interbank market or other relevant interbank market, any other condition, cost
or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or B/A Loans made by such Lender or any
Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or
B/A Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or increase the cost to any
Lender or Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining
a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case, by an amount
deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank (acting reasonably) to be material, then, the Applicable
Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand in accordance
with paragraph (c) below such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank (acting reasonably) shall have determined that any Change in
Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or
-52-
such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or
on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender pursuant hereto, or the Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank pursuant hereto, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender
or Issuing Bank (acting reasonably) to be material, then from time to time in accordance with
paragraph (c) below the Applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in
paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The Applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank the
amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the
same.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any
increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrowers shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or Issuing
Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to
any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender or Issuing Bank
knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for
increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the
foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the
retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120 day period. The protection of this
Section shall be available to each Lender and Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of
the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.
SECTION 2.14 Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency
Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurocurrency
Loan, then, by written notice to the Applicable Borrower and to the Applicable Administrative
Agent:
(i) such Lender may declare that Eurocurrency Loans will not thereafter (for the
duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for
additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans and U.S. Base Rate Loans will not thereafter (for
such duration) be converted into Eurocurrency Loans), whereupon any
-53-
request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurocurrency
Borrowing or to continue a Eurocurrency Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall,
as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan or a U.S. Base Rate Loan (or a
request to continue an ABR Loan or a U.S. Base Rate Loan as such or to convert a
Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan or a U.S. Base Rate Loan), unless such declaration shall
be subsequently withdrawn; and
(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans made by it be
converted to ABR Loans or U.S. Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, in which event all such
Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans or U.S. Base Rate Loans, as
the case may be, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.
In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and
prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurocurrency Loans
that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender shall
instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans or U.S. Base Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of,
or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurocurrency Loans.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2.14, a notice to the U.S. Borrower by any Lender shall be
effective as to each Eurocurrency Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the
Interest Period then applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be
effective on the date of receipt by such Borrower.
SECTION 2.15 Breakage Costs. The Borrowers hereby severally indemnify each Lender against any
loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than
a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such
Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any
Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, including, without
limitation, as a result of any prepayment, the acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or
for any other reason, (ii) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan to an ABR Loan or U.S. Base Rate
Loans or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan, in each case
other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (iii) any Eurocurrency Loan
or B/A Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurocurrency Loan or B/A Loan to be made
pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10 or 2.22, as applicable) not being made
after notice of such Loan shall have been given by a Borrower hereunder or (iv) other than with
respect to any Defaulting Lender, any assignment of a Eurocurrency Loan is made other than on the
last day of the Interest Period for such Loan as a result of a request by the Applicable Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.20 (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage
Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made
hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the
excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the
Eurocurrency Loan or B/A Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the
date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period or Contract Period in effect (or
that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be
realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such
Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of
-54-
any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Applicable Borrower and the Applicable
Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Applicable Borrower shall
pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days
after its receipt of the same.
SECTION 2.16 Pro Rata Treatment. (a) Except as required under Section 2.14, each Borrowing,
each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans,
each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any
Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro
rata among the Applicable Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Pro Rata Percentages.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Security Documents but
subject to Section 2.24, it is the intent of the Secured Parties that each of the Secured Parties
shall share in the aggregate proceeds of the Collateral on a pro rata basis as provided in
paragraph (a) above. Accordingly, if the proceeds in respect of one class of Collateral (i.e.,
U.S. Collateral or Canadian Collateral) are insufficient to repay the Obligations intended to be
secured by such class of Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents, the Agents, shall, to the
extent they deem necessary, allocate and reallocate the proceeds of the Collateral to ensure that
each Secured Party receives its Applicable Pro Rata Percentages of the proceeds of all the
Collateral. If after giving effect to the allocations described in the preceding sentence any
Secured Party shall have received less than its Applicable Pro Rata Percentages of the aggregate
proceeds of all the Collateral, each Secured Party that received more than its Applicable Pro Rata
Percentages of the aggregate proceeds of all the Collateral agrees to deliver to the Agents, for
reallocation to the Secured Parties that received less than their Applicable Pro Rata Percentages
of the proceeds of all the Collateral, the excess of the aggregate amount received by such Secured
Party over the amount that would have been such Secured Party’s Applicable Pro Rata Percentages of
the proceeds of all the Collateral.
SECTION 2.17 Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Each Canadian Lender agrees that if it shall, through
the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against a Borrower or any other
Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu
of, such secured claim, received by such Canadian Lender under any applicable Insolvency Law or
otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any
Canadian Loan as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Canadian Loans shall be
proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Canadian Loans of any other Canadian Lender of
the same Class, it shall (i) notify the Applicable Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) be
deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Canadian Lender at face value, and shall
promptly pay to such other Canadian Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Canadian
Loans of the same Class of such other Canadian Lender and, if applicable, subparticipations in
Canadian L/C Exposure and Canadian Swing Line Loans of such other Canadian Lender, or make such
other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the aggregate unpaid amount of the Canadian Loans
and participations in Canadian Loans, Canadian L/C Exposure and Canadian Swing Line Loans held by
each Canadian Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid amount of all Canadian
Loans, Canadian L/C Exposure and Canadian Swing Line Loans then outstanding of the same Class as
the amount of its
-00-
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx L/C Exposure and Canadian Swing Line Loans prior to such exercise of
banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the amount of all Canadian Loans,
Canadian L/C Exposure and Canadian Swing Line Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase,
purchases, subparticipations or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.17(a) and the
payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase, purchases,
subparticipations or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase
price or prices or adjustment restored without interest.
(b) Each U.S. Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim against a Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured
claim or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by
such U.S. Lender under any applicable Insolvency Law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain
payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any U.S. Loan as a result of which the unpaid
portion of its U.S. Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the U.S. Loans
of any other U.S. Lender of the same Class, it shall (i) notify the Applicable Administrative Agent
of such fact and (ii) be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other U.S. Lender at
face value, and shall promptly pay to such other U.S. Lender the purchase price for, a
participation in the U.S. Loans of the same Class of such other U.S. Lenders and, if applicable,
subparticipations in the U.S. L/C Exposure and U.S. Swing Line Loans of such other U.S. Lenders, or
make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the aggregate unpaid amount of the U.S.
Loans and participations in U.S. Loans, U.S. L/C Exposure and U.S. Swing Line Loans held by each
U.S. Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid amount of all U.S. Loans, U.S.
L/C Exposure and U.S. Swing Line Loans then outstanding of the same Class as the amount of its U.S.
Loans, U.S. L/C Exposure and U.S. Swing Line Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff
or counterclaim or other event was to the amount of all U.S. Loans, U.S. L/C Exposure and U.S.
Swing Line Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or
other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase, purchases, subparticipations or
adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.17(b) and the payment giving rise thereto
shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase, purchases, subparticipations or adjustments shall be
rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored
without interest.
(c) The provisions of Section 2.17(a) and (b) shall not be construed to apply to (i) any
payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Exposure or Swing Line Loans to any
assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the
provisions of Section 2.17(a) and (b) shall apply).
(d) Each Loan Party expressly consents to the arrangements set forth in Section 2.17(a) and
(b) above and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that
any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Exposure pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against each Loan Party any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan
Party in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.18 Payments. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment (including principal of or
interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under
any other Loan Document not later than 4:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on the date when due in
immediately available U.S. dollars (or Canadian dollars, in the case of payments relating to
Commitments, Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian dollars), without setoff, defense
or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to
the Applicable Issuing Bank) shall be made to the office of the Applicable Administrative Agent
designated by such Applicable Administrative Agent. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall
promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal,
interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent, the
Canadian Administrative Agent, a specific Issuing Bank, or a specific Lender pursuant to Section
2.05, 2.08, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.19, or 9.05, but after taking into account payments effected
pursuant to Section 9.05(a)) in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Percentage
thereof, to the Lenders for the account of their respective applicable lending offices, and like
funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender or Issuing Bank to such
Lender or Issuing Bank for the account of its applicable lending office, in each case to be applied
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal
of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such
payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.
SECTION 2.19 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrowers or any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear
of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if
a Borrower or any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section), such Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower or such Loan
Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Each Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, Lender and Issuing Bank, within 10 days after
written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such
Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on
account of any obligation of such Borrower or any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and
-57-
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Applicable
Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), or by
the Applicable Administrative Agent on its behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower
or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the applicable Loan Party shall deliver to the
Applicable Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent.
(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Applicable Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or
any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall, if such payment otherwise would be subject to a withholding Tax, deliver
to the Applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), at the time or
times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Applicable Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition,
any Lender, if requested by the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Applicable Borrower
or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements.
(f) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is resident
for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to such Borrower
and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on
or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if
such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility
for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,
(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that
such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Applicable Borrower within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
-58-
section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, or
(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from
or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Applicable
Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(g) If an Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or
with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay
to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent, Lender or
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the
request of such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank in the event such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be
construed to require any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other
person.
(h) If a payment made to an Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement would be
subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank
fails 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 Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank shall
deliver to the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law
and at such time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section
1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the U.S.
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the U.S. Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Agent,
Lender or Issuing Bank has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to
deduct and withhold from any such payments.
SECTION 2.20 Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In
the event (i) any Lender or Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to
Section 2.13, (ii) any Lender or Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.14, (iii) a
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental
Authority on account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.19, or (iv) any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, then the Applicable Borrower may, at
its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred
to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank and the Applicable
Administrative Agent, require such Lender or
-59-
Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such assignment shall not conflict
with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction, (B) the Applicable Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the
Applicable Administrative Agent and the Applicable Issuing Banks, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (C) the affected Lender or Issuing Bank shall have received in
immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to
the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of such
Lender or Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of
such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.13 and Section 2.15)
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and Fees) or
the Applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (D) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 2.19, such assignment is expected to result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments thereafter. A Lender or Issuing Bank shall not be required to make any
such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender, Issuing
Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling such Borrower to require such assignment and
delegation cease to apply.
(b) If (i) any Lender or Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.13, (ii) any
Lender or Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.14 or (iii) a Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount to any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on
account of any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.19, then such Agent, Lender or
Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(A) would eliminate or reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.13 or enable it to
withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.14 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
2.19, as the case may be, in the future and (B) would not subject such Agent, Lender or Issuing
Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action
inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions. Each Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in
connection with any such designation or assignment.
SECTION 2.21 Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Each Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in U.S.
dollars, Canadian dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies for its own account or for the
account of any of its Subsidiaries (in which case such Borrower and such Subsidiary shall be
co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the Revolving Commitments remain
in effect, but no later than five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. This Section shall not
be construed to impose an obligation upon any Issuing
-60-
Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In order to
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or an
Alternative Currency (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit issued in U.S.
dollars, Canadian dollars or an Alternative Currency), the Applicable Borrower shall hand deliver,
fax or send by electronic communication (e-mail) (or by telephone notice promptly confirmed by a
written, fax or electronic communication (e-mail)) to the Applicable Issuing Bank and the
Applicable Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall
comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount and currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and
address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such
Letter of Credit. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit in a currency other than
those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”, the Applicable Borrower
shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 1.06 hereof. A U.S. Letter of Credit shall be
issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
each Letter of Credit the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving
effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the U.S. L/C Exposure shall not exceed
U.S.$100,000,000, (ii) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total U.S.
Revolving Commitment, and (iv) the U.S. L/C Exposure related to U.S. Letters of Credit issued by an
Issuing Bank shall not exceed an amount agreed to in writing between the U.S. Borrower and such
Issuing Bank and notified to the Administrative Agent. A Canadian Letter of Credit shall be
issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
each Canadian Letter of Credit, such Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant
that after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the Canadian L/C
Exposure shall not exceed the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$10,000,000, and (ii) the aggregate
Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Canadian Revolving Commitment.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date not later than the
earlier of (y) three years after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (z) the date
that is 24 months after the Maturity Date; provided that 60 days prior to the Maturity Date the
Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the U.S. Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, for the benefit of the U.S. Revolving Lenders or Canadian Revolving
Lenders, as the case may be, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the U.S. L/C Exposure or the
Canadian L/C Exposure, respectively, as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the U.S.
Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent, as the case may be, as collateral for the
payment and performance of the Obligations. Such Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion
and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any
interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments
shall be made at the option and sole discretion of such Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not
bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.
The Applicable Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial
deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be
-61-
provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations. Moneys in
such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Applicable Administrative Agent to reimburse
the Applicable Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be
held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Applicable Borrower for the U.S.
L/C Exposure or the Canadian L/C Exposure, as applicable, at such time, (iii) if the maturity of
the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy the Obligations and (iv) provided that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be released to the Borrowers to the extent that
the funds on deposit exceed 105% of the U.S. L/C Exposure or the Canadian L/C Exposure,
respectively.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on
the part of an Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each U.S.
Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender, as the case may be, and each such Revolving Lender
hereby acquires from the Applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to
such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Pro Rata Percentage or Canadian Revolving Pro Rata Percentage, as
applicable, of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective
upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of the Rolled Letters of Credit,
effective upon the Effective Date). In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Applicable
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s U.S. Revolving
Pro Rata Percentage or Canadian Revolving Pro Rata Percentage, as applicable, of the U.S. Dollar
Equivalent of each L/C Disbursement (unless such Letter of Credit is a Canadian Letter of Credit
denominated in Canadian dollars in which case such payment shall be made in Canadian dollars), made
by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower (or, if applicable, another
party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as
provided in Section 2.02(g). Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter
of Credit, the Applicable Borrower shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent an amount equal
to such L/C Disbursement in the same currency in which such L/C Disbursement is denominated not
later than two hours after such Borrower shall have received notice from such Issuing Bank that
payment of such draft will be made, or, if such Borrower shall have received such notice later than
11:00 a.m. (Standard Time) on any Business Day, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Standard Time) on the
immediately following Business Day.
(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances
whatsoever, and irrespective of:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan
Document, or any term or provision therein;
-62-
(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the
provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;
(iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that
such Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, such Borrower, any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the
beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Applicable Issuing Bank, any Agent or any Lender
or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;
(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise
of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(v) any payment by the Applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit
to any person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to
any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in
connection with any proceeding under any Insolvency Law; and
(vi) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the
relevant Alternative Currency to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other person, or in the
relevant currency markets generally; or
(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Applicable Issuing
Bank, the Lenders, the Agents or any other person or 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 such Borrower’s
obligations hereunder.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the proviso in subsection (g)
below, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of each
Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Applicable Issuing Bank.
(g) Role of Issuing Bank. Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any
beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit.
None of the Issuing Banks, the Agents, any of their respective Related Parties or any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for:
(i) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any
beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith;
-63-
(ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement
thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or
(iii) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any
Letter of Credit (including the Issuing Bank’s own negligence),
provided, however, that a Borrower shall have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing
Bank shall be liable to, and shall promptly pay to, such Borrower, to the extent of any direct, as
opposed to consequential (claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such Borrower to the
extent permitted by applicable law), damages suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such
Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with its duties as an issuing bank under applicable law or gross
negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under
a Letter of Credit strictly comply with the terms thereof. It is understood that the Applicable
Issuing Bank 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, in making
any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) such Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents
presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including
reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the
amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any
document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if
such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any
other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any
statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any
noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with
the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross
negligence of the Applicable Issuing Bank. Each Revolving Lender and each Borrower agree that, in
paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Applicable Issuing Bank shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents
expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or
accuracy of any such document or the authority of the person executing or delivering any such
document.
(h) Disbursement Procedures. The Applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its
receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter
of Credit. The Applicable Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification,
confirmed by fax or by electronic communication (e-mail), to the Applicable Administrative Agent
and the Applicable Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Applicable Issuing Bank has
made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve the Applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the
Applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. The
Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Applicable Lender notice thereof.
(i) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, then, unless the Applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in
full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account
-64-
of the Applicable Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C
Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by such Borrower or the date on
which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(e), at the rate per
annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate
Loan, as the case may be.
(j) Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign at any time by
giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent, the Applicable Lenders
and the U.S. Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the U.S. Borrower by notice to such
Issuing Bank, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Applicable Lenders. Subject to the next
succeeding paragraph, upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a
Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank and the
retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of
Credit hereunder. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Applicable
Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid Issuing Bank Fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c). The
acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced
by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the
Applicable Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such
successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents
to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing
Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the
resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party
hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(k) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, other
than an event with respect to a Borrower described in Section 7.01(g) or (h) and a Borrower shall
receive notice from Applicable Administrative Agent or the Required U.S. Revolving Lenders or the
Required Canadian Revolving Lenders, as applicable, requesting that it deposit Cash Collateral and
specifying the amount to be deposited, or (ii) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing
with respect to a Borrower described in Section 7.01(g) or (h) then such Borrower shall, on the
Business Day it receives the notice referenced in clause (i) above or immediately upon the
occurrence of the Event of Default referenced in clause (ii) above, deposit in an account with the
U.S. Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for the benefit of the
U.S. Revolving Lenders or Canadian Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, an amount in cash equal
to 105% of the U.S. L/C Exposure or the Canadian L/C Exposure, respectively, as of such date. At
any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, after reallocation pursuant to Section
2.24(c), promptly upon the request of an Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank (which request may
be condition to issuance amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit), the Applicable
Borrower shall deliver to the U.S. Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent, as the case
may be, for the benefit of the U.S. Revolving Lenders or Canadian Revolving Lenders, as the case
may be, Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the Fronting Exposure at such time (determined for
the avoidance of doubt, after
-65-
giving effect to Section 2.24(a) and any Cash Collateral provided by any Defaulting Lender).
Such deposits shall be held by the U.S. Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. Such Collateral
Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over
such account. If a Borrower is required to Cash Collateralize the U.S. L/C Exposure, Canadian L/C
Exposure or Fronting Exposure pursuant to Section 2.22(c) or (k), then such Borrower and Collateral
Agent shall establish the L/C Cash Collateral Account and the Applicable Borrower shall execute any
documents and agreements that such Collateral Agent reasonably requests in connection therewith to
establish the L/C Cash Collateral Account and grant such Collateral Agent a first-priority security
interest in such account and the funds therein. Each Borrower hereby pledges to the Applicable
Collateral Agent and grants such Collateral Agent a security interest in the L/C Cash Collateral
Account, whenever established, all funds held in such L/C Cash Collateral Account from time to
time, and all proceeds thereof as security for the payment of the Obligations. Other than any
interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments
shall be made at the option and sole discretion of such Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not
bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.
The Applicable Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial
deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to
protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations. Moneys in such account shall (i)
automatically be applied by the Applicable Administrative Agent to reimburse the Applicable Issuing
Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction
of the reimbursement obligations of the Applicable Borrower for the U.S. L/C Exposure or the
Canadian L/C Exposure, as applicable, at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If a Borrower is required to provide an amount
of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to
the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days
after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion
thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure shall be released promptly following (A) the
elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including
by any Defaulting Lender ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender or ceasing to be a Revolving Lender) or
(B) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral;
provided, however, that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be
released during the continuance of an Event of Default and may be otherwise applied in accordance
with Section 7.06.
(l) Additional Issuing Banks. A Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the
consent of the Applicable Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and such Revolving Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing
bank under the terms of this Agreement. The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank
hereunder by a Revolving Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such Revolving
Lender, in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Applicable Administrative Agent, and, from
and after the effective date of such agreement, any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant
to this paragraph (l) shall be deemed (in addition to being a Lender) to be the Issuing Bank with
respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and all references herein and
in the other Loan Documents to the term
-66-
“Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such
Lender in its capacity as Issuing Bank.
(m) In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of
Credit Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(n) Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of
any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Borrower or any Subsidiary of such Borrower, each
Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all L/C
Disbursements under such Letter of Credit requested by such Borrower for its own account or for the
account of any of its Subsidiaries. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters
of Credit for the account of any of its Subsidiaries (other than, with respect to the U.S.
Borrower, a Canadian Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof) inures to the benefit of such Borrower,
and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such
Borrower’s Subsidiaries.
(o) Each Issuing Bank, the Revolving Lenders and the Borrowers agree that effective as of the
Effective Date, the Rolled Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued and maintained
under, and to be governed by the terms and conditions of, this Agreement.
SECTION 2.22 Bankers’ Acceptances. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
each Canadian Borrower may request a Borrowing denominated in Canadian dollars by presenting drafts
for acceptance and, if applicable, purchase as B/As by the Canadian Lenders.
(b) No Contract Period with respect to a B/A to be accepted and, if applicable, purchased as a
Loan shall extend beyond the Maturity Date. All B/A Loans shall be denominated in Canadian
dollars.
(c) To facilitate availment of the B/A Loans, each Canadian Borrower hereby appoints each
Canadian Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, in handwriting or by facsimile
or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Canadian Lender, blank forms of B/As
in the form requested by such Canadian Lender. Each Canadian Borrower recognizes and agrees that
all B/As signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Canadian Lender shall bind such Canadian
Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper
signing officers of such Canadian Borrower. Each Canadian Lender is hereby authorized to issue
such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Canadian Lender;
provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of B/As required to be
accepted and purchased by such Canadian Lender. No Canadian Lender shall be liable for any damage,
loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Canadian Lender or its officers, employees, agents
or representatives. Each Canadian Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (i) voided
by it for any reason, (ii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder and (iii) canceled at their
respective maturities. Each Canadian Lender further agrees to retain such records in the manner
and for the statutory periods provided in the various provincial or federal statutes and
regulations which apply to such Canadian Lender. On request by or on behalf of the Canadian
Borrower, a Canadian Lender
-67-
shall cancel all forms of B/A which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of a
Canadian Borrower and which are held by such Canadian Lender and are not required to be issued in
accordance with the Canadian Borrower’s irrevocable notice. At the discretion of a Lender,
Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by such Lender may be issued in the form of “Depository Bills”
within the meaning of the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada) and deposited with the Canadian
Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”) and may be made payable to “CDS & Co.” or in such other
name as may be acceptable to CDS and thereafter dealt with in accordance with the rules and
procedures of CDS, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. All Depository Bills so issued
shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 2.22.
(d) Drafts of a Canadian Borrower to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall be signed as set
forth in this Section 2.22. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any B/A may
no longer be an authorized signatory for any of the Canadian Lenders or the applicable Canadian
Borrower at the date of issuance of a B/A, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and
sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance
and any such B/A so signed shall be binding on such Canadian Borrower.
(e) Promptly following receipt of a notice of borrowing, continuation or conversion of B/As,
the Canadian Administrative Agent shall so advise the Canadian Lenders and shall advise each
Canadian Lender of the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted by it and the applicable
Contract Period (which shall be identical for all Canadian Lenders). The aggregate face amount of
the B/As to be accepted by a Canadian Lender shall be in an integral multiple of C$100,000 and such
face amount shall be in each Canadian Lender’s pro rata portion of such Canadian Borrowing;
provided, that the Canadian Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, increase or reduce
any Canadian Lender’s portion of such B/A to the nearest C$100,000.
(f) The applicable Canadian Borrower may specify in a notice of borrowing or conversion or
continuation pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.10, respectively, that it desires that any B/As
requested by such notice be purchased by the Canadian Lenders, in which case the Canadian Lenders
shall purchase, or arrange the purchase of, each B/A from such Canadian Borrower at the B/A
Discount Rate for such Canadian Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to the
Canadian Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds for the account of such Canadian Borrower. The
Acceptance Fee payable by such Canadian Borrower to a Canadian Lender under Section 2.06 in respect
of each B/A accepted by such Canadian Lender shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable
by such Canadian Lender under this Section 2.22.
(g) Each Canadian Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or
otherwise dispose of any or all B/As accepted and purchased by it.
(h) If a Canadian Lender notifies the Canadian Administrative Agent in writing that it is
unable to accept Bankers’ Acceptances, such Canadian Lender will, instead of accepting and, if
applicable, purchasing Bankers’ Acceptances, make an advance (a “B/A Equivalent Loan”) to the
applicable Canadian Borrower in the amount and for the same term as the draft that such Canadian
Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each
-68-
such Canadian Lender will provide to the Canadian Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds
of such B/A Equivalent Loan for the account of such Canadian Borrower. Each such B/A Equivalent
Loan will bear interest at the same rate that would result if such Lender had accepted (and been
paid an Acceptance Fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis at the B/A Discount Rate) a Bankers’
Acceptance for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such
B/A Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the Lenders and the Canadian
Borrowers as the Bankers’ Acceptance which such B/A Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest
shall be paid in advance on the date such B/A Equivalent Loan is made, and will be deducted from
the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Loan in the same manner in which the Discount Proceeds
of a Bankers’ Acceptance would be deducted from the face amount of the Bankers’ Acceptance. Each
B/A Equivalent Loan shall be evidenced by a non-interest bearing promissory note of the Canadian
Borrower, denominated in Canadian Dollars, executed and delivered by the applicable Canadian
Borrower to such Canadian Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit J.
(i) Each Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of
any amounts due to a Canadian Lender in respect of a B/A accepted and purchased by it pursuant to
this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of such B/A being held, at the maturity thereof,
by such Canadian Lender in its own right and each Canadian Borrower agrees not to claim any days of
grace if such Canadian Lender as holder sues such Canadian Borrower on the B/A for payment of the
amount payable by such Canadian Borrower thereunder. On the last day of the Contract Period of a
B/A, or such earlier date as may be required or permitted pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall pay the Canadian Lender that has accepted and
purchased such B/A the full face amount of such B/A and after such payment, such Canadian Borrower
shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Canadian Lender shall be entitled
to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.
(j) Except as required by any Canadian Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, no
B/A Loan may be repaid by a Canadian Borrower prior to the expiry date of the Contract Period
applicable to such B/A Loan; provided, however, that any B/A Loan may be defeased as provided in
the proviso to Section 2.11(a).
(k) With respect to any repayment of unmatured B/A’s pursuant to the proviso to Section
2.11(a) or otherwise hereunder, it is agreed that the applicable Canadian Borrower shall provide
for the funding in full of the unmatured B/A’s to be repaid by paying to and depositing with the
Canadian Administrative Agent Cash Collateral for each such unmatured B/A equal to the face amount
payable at maturity thereof. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall hold such Cash Collateral in
an interest bearing Cash Collateral account at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for similar
accounts with the Canadian Administrative Agent; such Cash Collateral, such Cash Collateral
account, any accounts receivable, claims, instruments or securities evidencing or relating to the
foregoing, and any proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Outstanding BAs
Collateral”) shall be assigned to the Canadian Administrative Agent as security for the
obligations of the applicable Canadian Borrower in relation to such B/A’s and the security interest
of the Canadian Administrative Agent created in such Outstanding BAs Collateral shall rank in
priority to all other security interests and adverse claims against such Outstanding BAs
Collateral. Such Outstanding BAs Collateral shall be applied to satisfy the
-69-
obligations of the applicable Canadian Borrower for such B/A’s as they mature and the Canadian
Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the applicable Canadian Borrower to apply
any such Outstanding BAs Collateral to such maturing B/A’s. The Outstanding BAs Collateral created
herein shall not be released to the applicable Canadian Borrower prior to the maturity of the
applicable B/As without the consent of the Canadian Lenders; however, interest on such deposited
amounts shall be for the account of the applicable Canadian Borrower and may be withdrawn by the
applicable Canadian Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing. If,
after maturity of the B/A’s for which such Outstanding BAs Collateral is held and application by
the Canadian Administrative Agent of the Outstanding BAs Collateral to satisfy the obligations of
the applicable Canadian Borrower hereunder with respect to the B/A’s being repaid, any interest or
other proceeds of the Outstanding BAs Collateral remains, such interest or other proceeds shall be
promptly paid and transferred by the Canadian Administrative Agent to the applicable Canadian
Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing.
SECTION 2.23 Swing Line Loans.
(a) Generally.
(i) The U.S. Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and if
an AutoBorrow Agreement is in effect, subject to the terms and conditions of such AutoBorrow
Agreement, the U.S. Swing Line Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion, in reliance
upon the agreements of the other U.S. Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.23, make
loans in U.S. Dollars (each such loan, a “U.S. Swing Line Loan”) to the U.S. Borrower from
time to time on or after the Effective Date until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the
termination of the Total U.S. Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed at
any time outstanding the amount of the U.S. Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact
that such U.S. Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure of
the Lender acting as U.S. Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s U.S.
Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any U.S. Swing Line
Loan, (i) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure of all U.S. Revolving Lenders shall
not exceed the Total U.S. Revolving Commitments at such time, and (ii) the U.S. Revolving
Credit Exposure of each U.S. Revolving Lender at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s
U.S. Revolving Commitment, and provided, further, that the U.S. Borrower shall not use the
proceeds of any U.S. Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding U.S. Swing Line Loan.
Within the foregoing limits, the U.S. Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.23(a), prepay
under Section 2.11, and reborrow under this Section 2.23(a). Immediately upon the making of
a U.S. Swing Line Loan, each U.S. Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the U.S. Swing Line Lender a risk
participation in such U.S. Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such U.S.
Revolving Lender’s U.S. Revolving Pro Rata Percentage times the amount of such U.S. Swing
Line Loan. Each U.S. Revolving Lender shall have the obligation to purchase and fund risk
participations in the U.S. Swing Line Loans and to refinance U.S. Swing Line Loans as
provided in this Agreement.
-70-
(ii) The Canadian Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and
if an AutoBorrow Agreement is in effect, subject to the terms and conditions of such
AutoBorrow Agreement, the Canadian Swing Line Lender may in its sole and absolute
discretion, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Canadian Revolving Lenders set
forth in this Section 2.23, make loans in Canadian dollars or U.S. Dollars (each such loan,
a “Canadian Swing Line Loan”) to either Canadian Borrower from time to time on or after the
Effective Date until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Total
Canadian Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding
the amount of the Canadian Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Canadian
Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lender
acting as Canadian Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Canadian
Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Canadian Swing Line
Loan, (i) the aggregate Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure of all Canadian Revolving Lenders
shall not exceed the Total Canadian Revolving Commitments at such time, and (ii) the
Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure of each Canadian Revolving Lender at such time shall not
exceed such Lender’s Canadian Revolving Commitment, and provided, further, that the Canadian
Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Canadian Swing Line Loan to refinance any
outstanding Canadian Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, the Canadian Borrower
may borrow under this Section 2.23(a), prepay under Section 2.11, and reborrow under this
Section 2.23(a). Immediately upon the making of a Canadian Swing Line Loan, each Canadian
Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from the Canadian Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Canadian Swing
Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Canadian Revolving Lender’s Canadian
Revolving Pro Rata Percentage times the amount of such Canadian Swing Line Loan. Each
Canadian Revolving Lender shall have the obligation to purchase and fund risk participations
in the Canadian Swing Line Loans and to refinance Canadian Swing Line Loans as provided in
this Agreement.
(b) Borrowing Procedures. If an AutoBorrow Agreement is in effect, each Swing Line Borrowing
shall be made as provided in such AutoBorrow Agreement. Otherwise, in order to request a Swing
Line Borrowing, the Applicable Borrower shall hand deliver, fax or send by electronic communication
(e-mail) (or by telephone notice promptly confirmed by a written, fax or electronic communication
(e-mail)) to the Applicable Swing Line Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent a duly
completed Borrowing Request not later than 2:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on the day of the proposed
Swing Line Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by or on
behalf of the Applicable Borrower and shall specify the following information: (i) the date of such
Swing Line Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); and (ii) the amount of such Swing Line
Borrowing, which shall be a minimum of U.S.$100,000, except as otherwise set forth in any
AutoBorrow Agreement. Promptly after receipt by the Applicable Swing Line Lender of any Borrowing
Request, the Applicable Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Applicable Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Applicable Administrative Agent has also received such Borrowing
Request and, if not, the Applicable Swing Line Lender will notify the Applicable Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Applicable Swing Line
Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Applicable Administrative Agent
(including at the request of any Applicable Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on the date
of the
-71-
proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Applicable Swing Line Lender not to make such
Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence
of either Section 2.23(a)(i) or Section 2.23(a)(ii), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Applicable Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on the
borrowing date specified in such Borrowing Request, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan
available to the Applicable Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Applicable
Borrower on the books of the Applicable Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. If an
AutoBorrow Agreement is in effect, such additional terms and conditions of such AutoBorrow
Agreement shall have been satisfied, and in the event that any of the terms of this Section 2.23
conflict with such AutoBorrow Agreement, the terms of the AutoBorrow Agreement shall govern and
control. No Applicable Lender shall have any rights or obligations under any AutoBorrow Agreement,
but each Applicable Lender shall have the obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in
the Swing Line Loans and to refinance Swing Line Loan as provided herein.
(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Applicable Swing Line Lender at any time in its
sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Applicable Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Applicable Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), or the
Applicable Borrower at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, that each
Applicable Lender make (A) with respect to U.S. Swing Line Loans, an ABR Loan in an amount equal to
such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of the amount of U.S. Swing Line Loans then
outstanding and (B)(1) with respect to Canadian Swing Line Loans denominated in Canadian dollars, a
Canadian Prime Rate Loan or (2) with respect to Canadian Swing Line Loans denominated in U.S.
Dollars, a U.S. Base Rate Loan, in each case in an amount equal to such Lender’s Canadian Revolving
Pro Rata Percentage of the amount of Canadian Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request
shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for
purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate
Loans or U.S. Base Rate Loans, as applicable, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total
U.S. Revolving Commitments or Total Canadian Revolving Commitments, as applicable, and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.01. The Applicable Swing Line Lender or the Applicable Borrower,
as applicable, shall furnish to the other a copy of the applicable Borrowing Request promptly after
delivering such notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent. Each Applicable Lender shall make
an amount equal to its Applicable Pro Rata Percentage of the amount specified in such Borrowing
Request available to the Applicable Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the
account of the Applicable Swing Line Lender at the office designated by the Applicable
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Standard Time) on the day specified in such
Borrowing Request, whereupon, subject to Section 2.23(c)(ii), each Applicable Lender that so makes
funds available shall be deemed to have made a ABR Loan, Canadian Prime Rate Loan or U.S. Base Rate
Loan, as applicable, to the Applicable Borrower in such amount. The Applicable Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Applicable Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a U.S.
Revolving Borrowing or a Canadian Revolving Borrowing, as applicable, in accordance with
Section 2.23(c)(i), the request for ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate
-72-
Loans or U.S. Base Rate Loans, as applicable, submitted by the Applicable Swing Line
Lender or the Applicable Borrower as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the
Applicable Swing Line Lender that each of the Applicable Lenders fund its risk participation
in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Applicable Lender’s payment to the Applicable
Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section
2.23(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii) If any Applicable Lender fails to make available to the Applicable Administrative
Agent for the account of the Applicable Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by
such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.23(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.23(c)(i), the Applicable Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender (acting through the Applicable Administrative Agent), on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to
the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Applicable Swing Line Lender
at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by
the Applicable Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Applicable Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such
amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Applicable Swing Line Lender
submitted to any Lender (through the Applicable Administrative Agent) with respect to any
amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.
(iv) Each Applicable Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase
and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.23(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
the Applicable Swing Line Lender, the Applicable Borrower or any other person for any reason
whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (C)
any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Applicable Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.23(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.01. No
such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the
Applicable Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any Applicable Lender has purchased
and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Applicable Swing Line Lender receives
any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Applicable Swing Line Lender will distribute to
such Applicable Lenders their Applicable Pro Rata Percentage thereof in the same funds as those
received by the Applicable Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Applicable Swing Line Lender in respect of
principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the
-73-
Applicable Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.19
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Applicable Swing Line Lender in
its discretion), each Applicable Lender shall pay to the Applicable Swing Line Lender its
Applicable Revolving Pro Rata Percentage thereof on demand of the Applicable Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Applicable
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Applicable Swing Line
Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full
of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Applicable Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Applicable Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each
Applicable Lender funds its Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.23 to refinance
such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Revolving Pro Rata Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest
in respect of such Applicable Revolving Pro Rata Percentage shall be solely for the account of the
Applicable Swing Line Lender.
(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Applicable Borrower shall make all payments
of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Applicable Swing Line

(g) Discretionary Nature of the Swing Line Facility. Notwithstanding any terms to the
contrary contained herein, the swing line facilities provided herein (i) are each an uncommitted
facility and the Swing Line Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make Swing Line Loans, and
(ii) may be terminated at any time by the Applicable Swing Line Lender or the Applicable Borrower
upon written notice by the terminating party to the non-terminating party.
SECTION 2.24 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a
Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set
forth in Section 9.08(b); and
(ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the
Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary
or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.12, or otherwise, and including any
amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 9.05), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Applicable
Administrative Agent as follows:
(A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Applicable Administrative Agent hereunder;
-74-
(B) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such
Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lenders hereunder;
(C) third, if so determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent or requested
by an Applicable Issuing Bank or a Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral
for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any
Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan;
(D) fourth, as the Applicable Borrower may request (so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this
Agreement, as determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent;
(E) fifth, if so determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent and the
Applicable Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and
released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans
under this Agreement;
(F) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Revolving Lenders, the
Applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Swing Line Lender as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Revolving Lender or an
Applicable Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
(G) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment
of any amounts owing to the Applicable Borrower as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Applicable Borrower against such
Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations
under this Agreement; and
(H) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of
competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Revolving Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which
that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) in the
case of such Revolving Loans, such Revolving Loans were made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be
applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans and L/C Disbursements of all
non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of
any Revolving Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Defaulting Lender.
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to any Defaulting Lender that are
applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by such Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral
pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such
Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents to the foregoing.
-75-
(b) Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee
pursuant to Section 2.05(a) or any L/C Participation Fee pursuant to Section 2.05(c) for any period
during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and, except as otherwise provided in Section
2.05(a), the Applicable Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would
have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).
(c) Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which
there is a Defaulting Lender, solely for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each
non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.21 and 2.23, the “U.S. Revolving Pro Rata Percentage” or
“Canadian Revolving Pro Rata Percentage”, as applicable, of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be
computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided,
that (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (B) the aggregate
obligation of any non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of
Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving
Commitments of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Revolving Credit Loans of such
non-Defaulting Lender.
(d) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Applicable Borrower, the Applicable Administrative Agent
and the Applicable Issuing Banks agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender
should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Applicable Administrative Agent will so
notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject
to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash
collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Lenders of the same Class or take such other actions
as the Applicable Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit
Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis
by the Revolving Lenders of the same Class in accordance with their “U.S. Revolving Pro Rata
Percentage” or “Canadian Revolving Pro Rata Percentage”, as applicable, (without giving effect to
clause (a)(ii) above), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no
adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on
behalf of the Applicable Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder
from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party
hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(e) Termination of Defaulting Lender Revolving Commitment. A Borrower may terminate the
unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3)
Business Days’ prior notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the
Revolving Lenders of the same Class thereof), provided that such termination will not be deemed to
be a waiver or release of any claim a Borrower, an Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any
Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

universal plans created by and to which the Canadian Borrowers are obligated to contribute by

on a timely basis. There are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets of the Canadian Pension
Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans. No promises of benefit improvements under the Canadian
Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans have been made except where such improvement could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All contributions or premiums required
to be made or paid by the Canadian Parent and the Canadian Subsidiaries to the Canadian Pension

employee benefit plan maintained or contributed to by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan
Party that is not subject to United States or Canadian law (a “Foreign Plan”):
(i) any employer and employee contributions required by law or by the terms of any
Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement or any Foreign Plan have been made, or, if
applicable, accrued, in accordance with normal accounting practices, except where the
failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(ii) the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of
each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established
for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or
provide for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the date hereof, with respect to all
current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions
and valuations most recently used to account for such obligations
-81-
in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles, except where
the failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except where the failure
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.17 Environmental Matters. (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17 and except with
respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries

permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law necessary for the ownership
and operation of their respective properties and the conduct of their respective businesses as
currently conducted, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received
notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any

increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

that it reasonably considers to be financially sound (including captive insurance companies, or
through self insurance), in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks and
liabilities are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar
properties in localities where the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries operate.
SECTION 3.19 Security Documents. (a) Each Pledge Agreement is effective to create in favor of
the Applicable Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties referred to
therein, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined in such
Pledge Agreement) and, when such Collateral (to the extent such Collateral constitutes an
instrument under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or Personal Property Security Act) is
delivered to such Collateral Agent, such Pledge Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected first
priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the pledgors
thereunder in such Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person.

1(A) to the Perfection Certificate, such Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien
on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in such
portion of the Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a
financing statement under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or Personal Property Security Act
(other than the Intellectual Property, as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement), in each case
prior and
-82-
superior in right to any other person, other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by

Borrowers, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrowers and the
Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable
federal, state, provincial, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, except where such
violation, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any
claim may be made against any Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health
and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of
such Borrower or such Subsidiary, except where the failure to do the same, either individually or
in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.22 Solvency. Immediately following the making of each Loan and the giving of each
of the Guarantee Agreements and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each
Loan, the U.S. Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be Solvent.

U.S. Borrower shall be secured by substantially all the material personal property of the U.S.

all such instruments and documents (including legal opinions and lien searches) as the Collateral
Agents shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with this Section. The Borrowers agree to
provide such evidence as the Collateral Agents shall reasonably request as to the perfection and
priority status of each such security interest and Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties agree that (i) recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office will not be required with
respect to registered trademarks, trademark applications and copyrights of any Loan Party and (ii)

SECTION 8.04 Reliance by the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lenders. Each
of the Agents, Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall
not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement,
instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the
Swing Line Lenders also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender
or an Issuing Bank, an Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or
Issuing Bank unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or
Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. An Agent,
Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Loan
Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or
experts.

their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any
such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as such Agent.
SECTION 8.06 Resignation of an Agent or a Swing Line Lender.
(a) An Agent may resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders
and the U.S. Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent
or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five (45) days after the retiring Agent gives
notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required U.S. Lenders shall have
the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the U.S. Lenders, a successor Administrative
Agent or U.S. Collateral Agent, which shall be a financial institution with an office in
New York
City. Upon any such resignation, the Required Canadian Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on
behalf of the Canadian Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Canadian Administrative Agent or
Canadian Collateral Agent, which shall be a financial institution with an office in
New York City.
If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Applicable Required Lenders within thirty
(30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning
Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If either the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Agent has
been appointed, the Applicable Required Lenders may perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder
and the Borrowers shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender
and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Required Lenders until such successor Agent
shall have been appointed as provided herein. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed
-109-
hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment or, in the case of a successor
U.S. or Canadian Collateral Agent, upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing
statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Security Documents,
and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Applicable
Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted
or purported to be granted by the Security Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
resigning Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of an Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder
and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Agent, the
provisions of this Article VIII shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents.
(b) Any resignation by Xxxxx Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall
also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank
and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from
all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c)
the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit,
if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the
retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with
respect to such Letters of Credit.
SECTION 8.07 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders; Certain Acknowledgments.
(a) Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder. In this regard, each party hereto acknowledges that (i) Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP is
acting in this transaction as special counsel to the Administrative Agent and U.S. Collateral Agent
only and (ii) XxXxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the
Canadian Administrative Agent and Canadian Collateral Agent only. Each other party hereto will
consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the
Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein.
(b) Each Lender shall be deemed by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and
making any Loan on the Effective Date to have consented to, approved or accepted each Loan Document
and each other document or other matter referred to in Section 4.01 or 4.02
-110-
required to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Agents, the Lead Arrangers or the
Lenders and to have been satisfied with the satisfaction of all other conditions precedent required
to be satisfied under Section 4.01 or 4.02.
SECTION 8.08 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify upon demand the
Agents, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lenders and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties), according to their respective ratable shares,
and hold harmless such Indemnitee from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities in all
cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of any
Related Party; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for (a) the payment to any
Indemnitee for any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final,
nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s
own gross negligence or willful misconduct and (b) claims made or legal proceedings commenced
against such Indemnitee by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based on
rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such; provided
further, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Applicable Required
Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this
Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agents, the
Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lenders and each Related Party promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including all fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm
or other external counsel) incurred by an Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Swing Line Lender in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the
extent that such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender is not reimbursed for such by the Loan
Parties. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment
of all other Obligations and the resignation of such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender.
SECTION 8.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
(a) Each Lender (as a Lender and in its capacity as a potential provider of Banking
Services or potential counterparty to a Hedging Agreement) and each other Secured Party (by their
acceptance of the benefits of any Lien encumbering Collateral) acknowledges and agrees that the
Collateral Agents have entered into the Security Documents on behalf of itself and the Secured
Parties, and the Secured Parties hereby agree to be bound by the terms of such Security Documents,
acknowledge receipt of copies of such Security Documents and consent to the rights, powers,
remedies, indemnities and exculpations given to such Collateral Agent thereunder. All rights,
powers and remedies available to the Collateral Agents and the Secured Parties with respect to the
Collateral, or otherwise pursuant to the Security Documents, shall be subject to the provisions of
such Security Documents.
(b) Each Lender (as a Lender and in its capacity as a potential provider of Banking
Services or potential counterparty to a Hedging Agreement) and each other Secured Party (by their
acceptance of the benefits of any Lien encumbering Collateral) hereby authorizes the Collateral
Agents, at their option and in their discretion, without the necessity of any notice to or further
consent from the Secured Parties:
-111-
(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent
under any Security Document (i) as provided in Section 6.03, Section 6.05, Section 9.20 or
any Security Document or (ii) subject to Section 9.08, if approved, authorized or ratified
in writing by the Required Lenders;
(ii) to take any actions with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which
may be necessary to perfect and maintain a first priority security interest in and Liens
upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents;
(iii) to take any action in exigent circumstances as may be reasonably necessary to
preserve any rights or privileges of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or
applicable law; and
(iv) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral
Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted
by Section 6.01(d), 6.01(f), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h).
(c) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time, the Secured Parties will confirm
in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral
pursuant to this Section 8.09.
(d) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints each Collateral Agent as such Loan Party’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, act for such Loan Party and in the name of such Loan Party to, in such Collateral
Agent’s discretion upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) file
one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any
part of the Collateral without the signature of such Loan Party where permitted by law, (ii) to
receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, and chattel paper which
are part of the Collateral, (iii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive,
and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of
the Collateral, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which such
Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of such Collateral Agent with respect to any of the
Collateral and (v) if any Loan Party fails to perform any covenant contained in this Agreement or
the other Security Documents relating to the Collateral after the expiration of any applicable
grace periods, such Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenant,
and such Loan Party shall pay for the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection
therewith in accordance with Section 9.05. The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable.
(e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agents under this Agreement and the other
Security Documents are solely to protect their respective interest in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Beyond the safe custody thereof, each
Collateral Agent and each Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to any Collateral in its
possession or control (or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee) or with respect to
any income thereon or the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto. Each Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
-112-
the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which such Collateral Agent accords its own property. None
of the Agents, any Lender or any other Secured Party shall be liable or responsible for any loss or
damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act
or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee, broker or other agent or
bailee selected by the U.S. Borrower or selected by an Agent in good faith.
SECTION 8.10 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners
listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent, a
Lender or an Issuing Bank.
SECTION 8.11 Agents May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding
under any Insolvency Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Disbursement shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether an Agent shall have made any demand on a Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Disbursements and all other Obligations (other than obligations
of the U.S. Borrower or its Subsidiaries owing to any Lender or Affiliate thereof party to any
Hedging Agreement or any Banking Services Obligations) that are owing and unpaid and to file such
other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the
Issuing Banks and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable expenses, disbursements and

Issuing Banks and the Agents under Sections 2.05 and 9.08) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same.
Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in
any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such
payments to such Agent and, if such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to such Agent any amount due for the reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances of such Agent, and any other amounts due such Agent under Sections 2.05
and 9.08.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize any Agent to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank to
authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank or in any such
proceeding.

Issuing Bank or any other person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind
(whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or any Agent’s transmission
of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any
Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other person for indirect, special, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).
-115-
(e) Reliance by Agents, Issuing Banks and Lenders. Each of the Agents, Issuing Banks and
the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic and
electronically communicated (e-mailed) Borrowing Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of a
Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or
were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms
thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof. The Borrowers shall
indemnify the Agents, the Issuing Banks, each Lender and their Related Parties from all losses,
costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such person on each notice
purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other
communications with any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender may be recorded by such Agent, Issuing Bank
or Lender, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
SECTION 9.02 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by a Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and shall survive the
making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks,
regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or on their behalf, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any
Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is
outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have
not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19, 9.05 and 9.16 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement,
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the
expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agents, any Lender
or any Issuing Bank.
SECTION 9.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have
been executed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the
other parties hereto.
SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Generally. The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly permitted hereunder without the
prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security
interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) or (h) of this Section or (iv) to an SPC in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section (and any
-116-
other attempted assignment
or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitments (including, for purposes of this Section 9.04(b), participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans) and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any
such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility or the Loans at the time owing to
it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of
a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade
Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not
be less than (1) $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the U.S.
Revolving Credit Facility or Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, or (2) $5,000,000,
in the case of any assignment in respect of the U.S. Term Loan Facility, or Canadian
Term Loan Facility unless each of the Applicable Administrative Agent and, so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower otherwise
consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to
an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single
assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned and shall be pro rata among
the separate Facilities of such Lender, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the
Applicable Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans.
-117-
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to
the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the U.S. Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of the U.S.
Revolving Credit Facility or Canadian Revolving Credit Facility if such assignment
is to a person that is not a Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility or Canadian
Revolving Credit Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or any Approved Fund with
respect to such Lender, provided that no such consent shall be required if an Event
of Default shall have occurred and is continuing;
(B) the consent of the Applicable Administrative Agent (such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required (1) for assignments in
respect of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility or Canadian Revolving Credit Facility
if such assignment is to a person that is not a Lender under the U.S. Revolving
Credit Facility or Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender
or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) for assignments of Term
Commitments to a person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund;
(C) the consent of each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the U.S.
Revolving Credit Facility or Canadian Revolving Credit Facility; and
(D) the consent of the Applicable Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of
the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility or the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, as
applicable.
(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that the Applicable
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and
recordation fee in the case of any assignment; and provided, further, that only one such fee
shall be payable in the event of contemporaneous assignments to members of an Assignee Group
and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee
(or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group). The assignee, if it is not
a Lender, shall deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the U.S.
Borrower or any of the U.S. Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural person.
-118-
(vii) Defaulting Lenders. No assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or
any of its Subsidiaries, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would
constitute any of the foregoing persons.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording thereof by the Applicable Administrative
Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto for
all purposes and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
and (B) such assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.13, and 9.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior
to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no
such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto
set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the
Applicable Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as
appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or
sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the U.S.
Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously
requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and
assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then
owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Applicable Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and
interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all
Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its
Applicable Pro Rata Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable
law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest
shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance
occurs.
(c) Register. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Applicable
Lending Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and each of the Loan Parties, the Agents, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders may treat each
person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. In addition, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register
information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a
-119-
Defaulting
Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the U.S. Borrower or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
U.S. Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent, sell participations to any person (other than
a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the U.S. Borrower or any of the U.S. Borrower’s or a
Defaulting Lender’s Affiliates or subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letter of Credit Obligations
and Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the U.S. Borrower, the Agents and
the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other
modification described in the first proviso to Section 9.08 that directly affects such Participant.
Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the U.S. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.19 and 9.05 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To
the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender.
(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.13 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the U.S. Borrower’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless the U.S. Borrower
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the U.S. Borrower, to comply with Section 2.19(e) and Section 2.19(f) as though it were
a Lender.
(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion
of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time
to time by the Granting Lender to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower (an
“SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if a SPC elects not to
-120-
exercise such
option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be
obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i)
neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or
expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement,
(ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement
for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including
the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document,
remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by a SPC hereunder shall utilize the
Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such
Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement
shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one
day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC,
it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of
the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the U.S. Borrower and the Applicable
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or any portion of
its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating
agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity
enhancement to such SPC.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund
may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the note, if any,
held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as
security for such obligations or securities, provided that unless and until such trustee actually
becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 9.04, (i) no such pledge
shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii)
such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan
Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged
interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
SECTION 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay (i) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agents, the
Collateral Agents, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel for the Agents), in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or
waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby
shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any
Lender or Issuing Bank (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for
any Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its
rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights
under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder,
including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
-121-
during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. The foregoing costs and expenses under
this Section 9.05 shall include all due diligence, search, filing, recording, title insurance,
printing, reproduction, document delivery, travel, CUSIP, electronic platform, communication costs
and appraisal charges and fees and Taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses
reasonably incurred by any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (including, in connection with any workout
or restructuring, the cost of financial advisors and other outside experts retained by any Agent).
All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 30 days after written demand
therefore unless such amounts are being contested in good faith by the U.S. Borrower. The
agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all
Obligations.
(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agents, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the
Related Parties of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements but
excluding any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense resulting from a claim or proceeding
brought by a Lender against any other Lender (other than any Agent in its capacity as such),
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of
their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans
or issuance of Letters of Credit (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not
strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Borrower or any other
Loan Party, and regardless of whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual
or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property owned or operated by a
Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to a
Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL EXPRESSLY INCLUDE ANY SUCH LOSSES,
LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES OR EXPENSE INCURRED BY REASON OF THE PERSON BEING INDEMNIFIED’S OWN
NEGLIGENCE but not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee or, with respect to any Environmental Liability, to the extent such Indemnitee,
after foreclosure or other remedial action, has caused such Environmental Liability.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, NO LOAN PARTY SHALL ASSERT,
AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT
OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR
-122-
ANY AGREEMENT
OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, ANY LOAN OR
LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF. NO INDEMNITEE SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES
ARISING FROM THE USE BY UNINTENDED RECIPIENTS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS DISTRIBUTED BY
IT THROUGH TELECOMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRONIC OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that a Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to
an Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), an Issuing Bank, a Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of
any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Applicable Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the Applicable Issuing Bank, the Applicable Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as
the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Percentage (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided
that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as
the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Applicable Agent (or any such sub-agent),
the Applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against
any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Applicable Agent (or any such sub-agent),
Applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity.
(d) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the
Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term
or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on
behalf of any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be
payable on written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.06 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in
whatever currency) at any time held and other Indebtedness (in whatever currency) at any time owing
by such Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any
other Loan Party to whom it has made Loans against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower
or Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such
Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such
obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or
Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
Indebtedness. The rights of each Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under
this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which such Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank or their respective
-123-
Affiliates may have. Each Agent, Lender
and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any
such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.
SECTION 9.07
Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.
SECTION 9.08 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of any Agent, any Lender or any
Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power,
or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies
of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by
the Borrowers or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be permitted by Section 9.08(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on a Borrower in
any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and
proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained
exclusively by, the Agents in accordance with Sections 7.02 and 7.03 for the benefit of all the
Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Agent from
exercising on their own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its
capacity as an Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Issuing Bank from
exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing
Bank) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Swing Line Lender from exercising the
rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Swing Line Lender)
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in
accordance with Section 9.06 (subject to the terms of Section 2.17), or (v) subject to Section
8.11, any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf
during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Insolvency Law.
(b) Any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(other than the Fee Letters or any Letter of Credit Document), and any consent to any departure by
a Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective if the same shall be in writing
and signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrowers (or by the Administrative Agent (with the
prior written consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers), provided that such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given; provided further that (x) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be
amended by an agreement in writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower to cure
any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have
received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written
-124-
notice thereof and the Administrative Agent
shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a
written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such
amendment, and (y) no amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(i) extend the Maturity Date of or increase the stated amount of any Commitment of
any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment of any Lender terminated pursuant to the terms
hereof) without the written consent of such Lender;
(ii) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement for any scheduled payment (but not
any prepayment) of principal, interest or fees due to any Lender hereunder without the
written consent of such Lender;
(iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any
Loan or L/C Disbursement or any interest or Fees payable hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that any
change in the definition of “Leverage Ratio”, or in the component definitions thereof, shall
not constitute a reduction of rate of interest or any interest or Fees payable hereunder);
provided, however, that (A) only the consent of the U.S. Required Revolving Lenders shall be
required to waive any obligation of the U.S. Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to
Section 2.07 with respect to the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, including with respect to
any amount payable thereunder or in connection therewith (B) only the consent of the
Canadian Required Revolving Lenders shall be required to waive any obligation of either
Canadian Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.07 with respect to the
Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, including with respect to any amount payable thereunder
or in connection therewith, (C) only the consent of the Required U.S. Term Lenders shall be
required to waive any obligation of the U.S. Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to
Section 2.07 with respect to the U.S. Term Loan Facility, including with respect to any
amount payable thereunder or in connection therewith, and (D) only the consent of the
Required Canadian Term Lenders shall be required to waive any obligation of either Canadian
Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.07 with respect to the Canadian Term
Loan Facility, including with respect to any amount payable thereunder or in connection
therewith;
(iv) change Section 2.16 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected
thereby or change the order of application, as among the Facilities, of any prepayment or
other amount specified in Section 7.05 from the order set forth in such Section in a manner
that materially and adversely affects the Lenders under any Facility without the prior
written consent of (A) if such Facility is the U.S. Term Loan Facility, the Required U.S.
Term Lenders, (B) if such Facility is the Canadian Term Loan Facility, the Required Canadian
Term Lenders, (C) if such Facility is the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, the Required U.S.
Revolving Lenders and (D) if such Facility is the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the
Required Canadian Revolving Lenders;
(v) change any provision of this Section, or the percentage specified in definition
of “Required Lenders,” “Required U.S. Revolving Lenders,” “Required U.S.
-125-
Term Lenders”,
“Required Canadian Revolving Lenders,” “Required Canadian Term Lenders”, “Required Revolving
Lenders,” or “Required Term Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby;
(vi) except as expressly permitted hereunder or under any Security Document, (A)
release the guaranty provided by the U.S. Borrower hereunder without the written consent of
each Canadian Lender, or (B) release all or substantially all of the value of the guaranties
provided by the other Guarantors hereunder or all or substantially all of the Collateral
without the written consent of each Lender;
(vii) change Section 9.04 in a manner that imposes additional restrictions on the
ability of any Lender under any Facility to assign any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of (A) if such Facility is the U.S. Term Loan
Facility, the Required U.S. Term Lenders, (B) if such Facility is the Canadian Term Loan
Facility, the Required Canadian Term Lenders, (C) if such Facility is the U.S. Revolving
Credit Facility, the Required U.S. Revolving Lenders and (D) if such Facility is the
Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the Required Canadian Revolving Lenders;
(viii) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms
adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding one Class of
Loans differently from the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding another
Class of Loans without the prior written consent of the Required U.S. Revolving Lenders (if
the U.S. Revolving Lenders are the adversely affected Class), Required U.S. Term Lenders (if
the U.S. Term Lenders are the adversely affected Class), Required Canadian Revolving Lenders
(if the Canadian Revolving Lenders are the adversely affected Class) or Required Canadian
Term Lenders (if the Canadian Term Lenders are the adversely affected Class); or
(ix) amend or modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions
of Section 9.04(g) without the written consent of such SPC,
provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights
or duties of an Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Swing Line Lender hereunder or under any other
Loan Document without the prior written consent of such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swing Line
Lender, respectively.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to
approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder or under any other Loan Document
(and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders, all
Lenders or a majority in interest of Lenders under any Facility or each affected Lender may be
effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lender); provided that
any such amendment, waiver or consent referred to in clause (b)(i), (ii) or (iii) above that, but
for this sentence, would require the prior written consent of such Defaulting Lender, will continue
to require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and provided further that any such amendment,
waiver or consent requiring the consent of all Lenders, such Lender or
-126-
each affected Lender that by
its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than any other Lender whose consent is so
required shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
No Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a
result of the existence of obligations owed to it under Hedging Agreements or Banking Services
Obligations.
SECTION 9.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Regardless of any provisions contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Documents, the Lenders shall never be deemed to have contracted for
or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on any Loan or participation in any L/C
Disbursement any amount in excess of the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”), and in the event
any Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest (whether termed interest herein or deemed
to be interest by operation of law or judicial determination) any such excess, or if an
acceleration of the maturities of the Loans or if any prepayment by any Borrower results in such
Borrower having paid any interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, such amount which would be
excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and applied to the
reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Loans for which such excess was received,
collected or applied, and, if the principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any
remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Applicable Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be
paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance or detention of the Obligations evidenced by this
Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and
spread, in equal or unequal parts, throughout the full term of such Obligations until payment in
full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the
Maximum Rate. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific
contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate of interest permitted by law, the Borrowers and the Lenders
shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal
payment as an expense, fee or premium, rather than as interest; and (ii) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effect thereof; and (iii) compare the total amount of interest contracted for,
charged or received with the total amount of interest which could be contracted for, charged or
received throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loans at the Maximum Rate.
SECTION 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Fee
Letters constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof.
SECTION 9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF,
UNDER OR IN ANY CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND WHETHER
FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT
ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY
COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE
-127-
CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS
APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.
SECTION 9.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein
and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect
the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the
foregoing provisions of this Section 9.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any
provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Insolvency Laws, as
determined in good faith by an Agent or Issuing Bank, as applicable, then such provisions shall be
deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
SECTION 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but
all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile
transmission or by electronic communication (e-mail) shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein
are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.15
Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Any legal action or
proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts
of the State of
New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan,
New York City or of the United States
for the Eastern District of such state, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of
the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect any right that an Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrowers
or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
-128-
(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents in any such
New York state or Federal court. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Each Borrower waives
personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made by any other means
permitted by the law of such state.
(d) Each Loan Party (other than the U.S. Borrower) hereby irrevocably appoints the U.S.
Borrower as its agent to receive on its behalf and on behalf of its property service of copies of
any summons or complaint or any other process which may be served in any action. Such service may
be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to such Loan Party in care of the U.S.
Borrower at the U.S. Borrower’s address set forth in Section 9.01, and each such Loan Party hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs the U.S. Borrower to accept such service on its behalf.
SECTION 9.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders
agrees to maintain, and cause their respective Affiliates to maintain, the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and
other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the
extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other
party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of, pledgee under Section
9.04(f) or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of, pledgee under Section 9.04(f) or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the
Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the U.S. Borrower or (h) to the extent
such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section
or (y) becomes available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis
from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means
all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to an Agent, an Issuing Bank or any
Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party, provided that, in the
case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to
-129-
have complied
with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord to its own confidential
information.
SECTION 9.17 Judgment Currency. (a) The obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan
Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in U.S. dollars or Canadian
dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery
pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation
Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the
Applicable Administrative Agent or a Lender or an Issuing Bank of the full amount of the Obligation
Currency expressed to be payable to such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment
against a Borrower or any other Loan Party or in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes
necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other
currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation
Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or U.S. Dollar Equivalent,
or, in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or
if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer
in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the date
immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter
referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).
(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each Borrower covenants and
agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any judgment, such
additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure
that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on
the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been
purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the
rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.
(c) For purposes of determining the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or U.S. Dollar Equivalent
or rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in
connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.
SECTION 9.18 Exculpation Provisions. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT
IT HAS A DUTY TO READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED
WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS
IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS,
CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL
OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY
-130-
IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE
TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY
HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY
EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY
HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.”
SECTION 9.19 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any
Loan Party is made to any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender, or any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender
exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof
is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Insolvency Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b)
each Lender and Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent upon
demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the
Applicable Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date
such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable overnight rate from time to time
in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full
of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.20 Termination. This Agreement and each other Loan Document, and the covenants
and agreements set forth herein and therein, and, in the case of any Security Document, all
security interests and other Liens created thereunder, shall terminate upon the payment in full of
all principal of and any accrued interest on any Loan and all Fees and other amounts payable under
this Agreement, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the termination or
expiration of the Commitments; provided that the provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19, and 9.05
and Article VIII, and any other provision set forth herein or therein that by its terms survives
the termination of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, shall survive and remain in full
force and effect.
SECTION 9.21 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to
the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the
Patriot Act.
SECTION 9.22 Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto have agreed that this
Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety
-131-
and the
terms and provisions hereof supersede the terms and provisions thereof, and this Agreement is not a
new or substitute credit agreement or novation of the Existing Credit Agreement. All the rights,
titles, liens, security interests, and assignments securing the Obligations (as defined in the
Existing Credit Agreement) shall secure the Obligations, insofar and only insofar as the same cover
the Collateral, and all liens, security interests, and assignments against the Collateral securing
the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) are hereby renewed, extended, and
modified to secure the Obligations.
[Remainder of this page intentionally left blank. Signature pages follow.]
-132-
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by
their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

AMENDED AND RESTATED U.S. PLEDGE AGREEMENT
AMENDED AND RESTATED U.S. PLEDGE AGREEMENT dated as of December 10, 2010 (the “Agreement”),
among OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “U.S. Borrower”), each Subsidiary
of the U.S. Borrower listed on Schedule I hereto (each such Subsidiary individually a “Subsidiary
Pledgor” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Pledgors”; the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiary Pledgors

as of December 10, 2010 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “U.S. Borrower
Guarantee Agreement” and, together with the U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, the “Guarantee
Agreements”), between the U.S. Borrower and the U.S. Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used
herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit
Agreement.
The Pledgors and the U.S. Collateral Agent are parties to that certain U.S. Pledge Agreement
dated as of October 30, 2003 (as heretofore amended, restated and otherwise modified, the “Existing
U.S. Pledge Agreement”).
The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers and the Issuing Banks have agreed to
issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, pursuant to, and upon the terms and
subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. The U.S. Subsidiary Guarantors have

Agreement. The U.S. Borrower has agreed to guarantee, among other things, all the obligations of
the Canadian Borrowers under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans
and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the
execution and delivery by the Pledgors of an Agreement in the form hereof to secure (a) the due and
punctual payment by the Borrowers of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest

other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 1
in such proceeding) on the Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon
one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by any
Borrower under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including
payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide
cash collateral, and (iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and
indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary
obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other
similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the
Borrowers to the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the
due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the
Borrowers under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the due and
punctual payment and performance of all the covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of
each other Loan Party under or pursuant to the Loan Documents, (d) the due and punctual payment and
performance of all obligations of the Borrowers under each Hedging Agreement entered into with any
counterparty that was a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) at the time such Hedging Agreement was
entered into and (e) the due and punctual performance of Banking Services Obligations provided to
the Borrowers or any Subsidiary by any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender (all the monetary and
other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (e) being referred to
collectively as the “Obligations”).
Accordingly, the Pledgors and the U.S. Collateral Agent, on behalf of themselves and each
Secured Party (and each of their respective successors or assigns), hereby (a) agree that the
Existing U.S. Pledge Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and (b)
further agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Pledge. As security for the payment and performance, as the case may be, in full
of the Obligations, each Pledgor hereby transfers, grants, bargains, sells, conveys, hypothecates,
pledges, sets over and delivers unto the U.S. Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, and
hereby grants to the U.S. Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of
the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all of such Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to
and under (a) the Equity Interests owned by it and listed on Schedule II hereto and any Equity
Interests obtained in the future by such Pledgor and the certificates representing all such Equity
Interests (the “Pledged Stock”); provided that the Pledged Stock shall not include (i) more than
65% of the issued and outstanding voting Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary (other than
3045843 Nova Scotia Company, a Nova Scotia corporation) owned directly by a Pledgor or (ii) to the
extent that applicable law requires that a Subsidiary of such Pledgor issue directors’ qualifying
shares, such qualifying shares and provided that the Pledged Stock shall not include any shares in
the share capital of PTI Premium issued to PTI Mars Holdco 1, LLC pursuant to (i) that certain
Forward Subscription Agreement (Principal) dated on or about the Effective Date, between PTI
Premium, as issuer, and PTI Mars Holdco 1, LLC, as subscriber, and (ii) that certain Forward
Subscription Agreement (Interest) dated on or about the Effective Date, between PTI Premium, as
issuer, and PTI Mars Holdco 1, LLC, as subscriber; (b) all other property that may be delivered to
and held by the U.S. Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof; (c) subject to Section 5
hereof, all payments of dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received,
receivable or otherwise distributed, in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of the
securities referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above; (d) subject to
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 2
Section 5 hereof, all rights and privileges of such Pledgor with respect to the securities and other
property referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above; and (e) all proceeds of any of the
foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (a) through (e) above being collectively referred to as
the “Collateral”). Upon delivery to the U.S. Collateral Agent, (a) any stock certificates, notes
or other securities now or hereafter included in the Collateral (the “Pledged Securities”) if
“certificated” (as defined in the UCC) shall be accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank
or other instruments of transfer satisfactory to the U.S. Collateral Agent and by such other
instruments and documents as the U.S. Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (b) all other
property comprising part of the Collateral shall be accompanied by proper instruments of assignment
or conveying to the Collateral Agent “Control” (as defined in the UCC) duly executed by the
applicable Pledgor and such other instruments or documents as the U.S. Collateral Agent may
reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule
describing the securities theretofore and then being pledged hereunder, which schedule shall be
attached hereto as Schedule II and made a part hereof. Each schedule so delivered shall supersede
any prior schedules so delivered.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Collateral, together with all right, title, interest, powers,
privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, unto the U.S. Collateral Agent, its
successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, forever; subject, however,
to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.
SECTION 2. Delivery of the Collateral. Each Pledgor agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be
delivered to the U.S. Collateral Agent any and all Pledged Securities, and any and all certificates
or other instruments or documents representing the Collateral.
SECTION 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each Pledgor hereby represents,
warrants and covenants, as to itself and the Collateral pledged by it hereunder, to and with the
U.S. Collateral Agent that:
(a) the Pledged Stock represents that percentage as set forth on Schedule II of the issued and
outstanding shares of each class of the Equity Interests of the issuer with respect thereto;
(b) except for the security interest granted hereunder and as permitted by the Credit
Agreement, such Pledgor (i) is and will at all times continue to be the direct owner, beneficially
and of record, of the Pledged Securities indicated on Schedule II, (ii) holds the same free and
clear of all Liens, (iii) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or create
or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Collateral, other than pursuant
hereto except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, and (iv) subject to Section 5 hereof, will
cause any and all Collateral, whether for value paid by such Pledgor or otherwise, to be forthwith
deposited with the U.S. Collateral Agent and pledged or assigned hereunder; and
(c) such Pledgor (i) has the power and authority to pledge the Collateral in the manner hereby
done or contemplated and (ii) will defend its title or interest thereto or therein against any and
all Liens (other than the Lien created by this Agreement or permitted by the Credit Agreement),
however arising, of all persons whomsoever.
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 3
SECTION 4. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. The U.S. Collateral Agent, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the
Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent)
or the name of the Pledgors, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the U.S. Collateral
Agent. Each Pledgor will promptly give to the U.S. Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other
communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of such
Pledgor. The U.S. Collateral Agent shall at all times have the right to exchange the certificates,
if any, representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any
purpose consistent with this Agreement.
SECTION 5. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, etc. (a) Unless and until an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other
consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof
for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not be entitled to exercise
any such right if the result thereof could materially and adversely affect the rights
inuring to a holder of the Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the
Secured Parties under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.
(ii) The U.S. Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each Pledgor, or cause to
be executed and delivered to each Pledgor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other
instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor
to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise
pursuant to subparagraph (i) above and to receive the cash dividends it is entitled to
receive pursuant to subparagraph (iii) below.
(iii) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all cash dividends
on the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such cash dividends are
permitted by, and otherwise paid in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable laws. All noncash dividends, and all
dividends paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total
liquidation or dissolution, return of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and all
other distributions (other than distributions referred to in the preceding sentence) made on
or in respect of the Pledged Securities, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise,
whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding
capital stock of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged
Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger,
consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party
or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Collateral, and, if received by any Pledgor,
shall not be commingled by such Pledgor with any of its other funds or property but shall be
held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the U.S.
Collateral Agent and shall be forthwith delivered to the U.S. Collateral Agent in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 4
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of any
Pledgor to dividends that such Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii)
above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the U.S. Collateral Agent,
which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends.
All dividends received by a Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 5 shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the U.S. Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or
funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the U.S. Collateral Agent upon demand in
the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property
paid over to or received by the U.S. Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph
(b) shall be retained by the U.S. Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the U.S.
Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the U.S.
Collateral Agent shall, within five Business Days after all such Events of Default have been cured
or waived, repay to each Pledgor all cash dividends (without interest), that such Pledgor would
otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) above and which remain
in such account.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of any
Pledgor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant
to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 5, and the obligations of the U.S. Collateral Agent under
paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 5, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested
in the U.S. Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to
exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers, provided that, unless otherwise directed by
the Required Lenders, the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following
and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgors to exercise such rights.
After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, such Pledgor will have the right to exercise
the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise
pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above.
SECTION 6. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the U.S. Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or
private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for
future delivery as the U.S. Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The U.S. Collateral Agent
shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the
prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale
thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have the right to
assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each
such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or
right on the part of any Pledgor, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgors
hereby waive all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal any Pledgor now has or may at
any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The U.S. Collateral Agent shall give a Pledgor 10 days’ prior written notice (which each
Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in the State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 5
intention to make any sale of such Pledgor’s Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public
sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and
the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board
or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business
hours and at such place or places as the U.S. Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice of
such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot
as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the U.S. Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute
discretion) determine. The U.S. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any
Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such
Collateral shall have been given. The U.S. Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part
of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained
by the U.S. Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers
thereof, but the U.S. Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such
failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 6, any Secured Party may
bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of any
Pledgor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released), the Collateral or any part thereof
offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to
it from such Pledgor as a credit against the purchase price, and it may, upon compliance with the
terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to such
Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, (a) a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any
portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof, (b) the U.S. Collateral Agent shall be free to
carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and (c) such Pledgor shall not be entitled to the
return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that
after the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default
shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the
power of sale herein conferred upon it, the U.S. Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at
law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to
a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6
shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
SECTION 7. Application of Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale of Collateral pursuant
to Section 6 hereof, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied by the U.S.
Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent
shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or
balances in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of the
Collateral by the U.S. Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute
or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the U.S. Collateral Agent or
of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 6
purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not
be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the U.S.
Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
SECTION 8. U.S. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the
U.S. Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the U.S.
Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which
appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the U.S. Collateral
Agent’s name or in the name of such Pledgor, to ask for, demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give
acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral, to
endorse checks, drafts, orders and other instruments for the payment of money payable to such
Pledgor representing any interest or dividend or other distribution payable in respect of the
Collateral or any part thereof or on account thereof and to give full discharge for the same, to
settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action, claim or proceeding with respect thereto, and
to sell, assign, endorse, pledge, transfer and to make any agreement respecting, or otherwise deal
with, the same; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or
obligating the U.S. Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature
or sufficiency of any payment received by the U.S. Collateral Agent, or to present or file any
claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the
moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The U.S.
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually
received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor
their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or
failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
SECTION 9. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the U.S. Collateral Agent in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the U.S. Collateral Agent hereunder and of
the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand
on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle such Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the U.S. Collateral Agent and the Pledgor or
Pledgors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any
consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 7
SECTION 10. Securities Act, etc. In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to the
Pledged Securities, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under
the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted
analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in
effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged
Securities permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal
Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the U.S. Collateral Agent if the
U.S. Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Securities, and
might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any
Pledged Securities could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or
limitations affecting the U.S. Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the
Pledged Securities under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws
analogous in purpose or effect. Each Pledgor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and
limitations the U.S. Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Securities,
limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged
Securities for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations,
the U.S. Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale
whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Securities or
part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and
negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and
agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than
if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the U.S.
Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the
Pledged Securities at a price that the U.S. Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion,
may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a
substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after
registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of
this Section 11 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which
the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the U.S. Collateral
Agent sells.
SECTION 11. [Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the U.S. Collateral Agent hereunder,
the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder,
shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of
the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations
or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time,
manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (c) any exchange,
release or nonperfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or
consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations or (d) any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor
in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this Agreement (other than the indefeasible payment
in full of all the Obligations).
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 8
SECTION 13. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement and the security interests granted
hereby shall terminate when all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders
have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the Aggregate L/C Exposure has been
reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under
the Credit Agreement.
(b) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Pledgor of any Collateral that is permitted under
the Credit Agreement to any person that is not a Pledgor, or, upon the effectiveness of any written
consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to
Section 9.08(b) of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be
automatically released.
(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b), the U.S.
Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents
that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution
and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by
the U.S. Collateral Agent.
SECTION 14. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given
as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to
any Subsidiary Pledgor shall be given to it in care of the U.S. Borrower.
SECTION 15. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and
to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the
U.S. Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and
enforcement of this Agreement or with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or in order
better to assure and confirm unto the U.S. Collateral Agent its rights and remedies hereunder.
SECTION 16. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of
the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and
assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Pledgor
that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and
assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Pledgor when a counterpart hereof
executed on behalf of such Pledgor shall have been delivered to the U.S. Collateral Agent and a
counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the U.S. Collateral Agent, and thereafter
shall be binding upon such Pledgor and the U.S. Collateral Agent and their respective successors
and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Pledgor, the U.S. Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Pledgor shall
have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any
such attempted assignment shall be void), except as expressly contemplated by, the Credit
Agreement, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If all of the capital stock of a Pledgor is
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is not a Subsidiary of the U.S.
Borrower pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement, such Pledgor
shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement without further action. This Agreement
shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Pledgor and may be amended,
modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 9
Pledgor without the approval of any other Pledgor and without affecting the obligations of any
other Pledgor hereunder.
SECTION 17. Survival of Agreement; Severability (a) All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by each Pledgor herein and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the U.S. Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of
the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks, regardless of any investigation made by the Secured
Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of
or any accrued interest on any Loan or any other fee or amount payable under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or the Aggregate L/C Exposure does not equal zero and
as long as the Commitments and the commitments of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit have
not been terminated.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it
being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties
shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a
single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 17. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 20. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02 of
the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement. Section headings used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
SECTION 21. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of
Manhattan, New York and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement
of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding
may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 10
extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents against any Pledgor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 15. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 22. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 23. Additional Pledgors. Pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement, each
Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that was not a Material Subsidiary on the date of the
Credit Agreement but subsequently becomes a Material Subsidiary is required to enter into this
Agreement as a Subsidiary Pledgor upon becoming a Material Subsidiary. Upon execution and delivery
after the date hereof by the U.S. Collateral Agent and such Domestic Subsidiary of an instrument in
the form of Annex 1, such Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Pledgor hereunder with the
same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Pledgor herein. The execution and
delivery of any instrument adding an additional Subsidiary Pledgor as a party to this Agreement
shall not require the consent of any other Subsidiary Pledgor hereunder. The rights and
obligations of each Subsidiary Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Pledgor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 24. Financing Statements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor
authorizes the U.S. Collateral Agent to file financing statements with respect to the Collateral
owned by it in such form and in such filing offices as the U.S. Collateral Agent reasonably
determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the U.S. Collateral Agent
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 11
under this Agreement. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be
sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction.
SECTION 25. Fraudulent Conveyance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
it is the intention of each Pledgor, the U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that
the amount of the Obligation secured by each Pledgor’s interests in any of its real or personal
property shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by fraudulent conveyance,
fraudulent transfer and other similar law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority
applicable to such Pledgor. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement in any other agreement or instrument executed in connection with the payment of any of
the Obligations, the amount of the Obligations secured by each Pledgor’s interests in any of its
real or personal property pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal
to the largest amount that would not render such Pledgor’s obligations hereunder or the liens and
security interest granted to the U.S. Collateral Agent hereunder subject to avoidance under Section
548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other applicable
Insolvency Law or other law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority.
SECTION 27. Amendment and Restatement. The Pledgors and the U.S. Collateral Agent have agreed
that this Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing U.S. Pledge Agreement in its
entirety and the terms and provisions hereof supersede the terms and provisions thereof, and this
Agreement is not a new or substitute agreement or novation of the Existing U.S. Pledge Agreement.

Amended and Restated
U.S. Pledge Agreement
SUPPLEMENT NO. [___] dated as of [______], 2010 (the “Supplement”), to the Amended and
Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010, (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “U.S. Pledge Agreement”), among OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the “U.S. Borrower”), each Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower listed on
Schedule I thereto (each such Subsidiary individually a “Subsidiary Pledgor” and collectively, the

herein as the “Pledgors”) and XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Xxxxx Fargo”), as collateral
agent (in such capacity, the “U.S. Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties.
A. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 10,
2010 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”),
among the U.S. Borrower, PTI Group Inc., (the “Canadian
Parent”) , PTI Premium Camp Services
Ltd. (“PTI Premium” and, together with the Canadian Parent, the “Canadian Borrowers” and, together
with the U.S. Borrower, the “Borrowers” the lenders from time to time party thereto (the

and Canadian Collateral Agent for the Canadian Lenders.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
C. The Subsidiary Pledgors have entered into the U.S. Pledge Agreement in order to induce the
Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit. Pursuant to Section 5.09
of the Credit Agreement, each Domestic Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary of the U.S.
Borrower that was not a Material Subsidiary on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to
enter into the U.S. Pledge Agreement as a Subsidiary Pledgor. Section 24 of the U.S. Pledge
Agreement provides that additional Domestic Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower may become Subsidiary
Pledgors under the U.S. Pledge Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of
this Supplement. The undersigned Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower (the “New Pledgor”) is
executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a
Subsidiary Pledgor under the U.S. Pledge Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make
additional Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration
for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.
Accordingly, the U.S. Collateral Agent and the New Pledgor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 24 of the U.S. Pledge Agreement, the New Pledgor by its
signature below becomes a Pledgor under the U.S. Pledge Agreement with the same force and effect as
if originally named therein as a Pledgor and the New Pledgor hereby agrees (a) to all the terms and
provisions of the U.S. Pledge Agreement applicable to it as a
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 18
Pledgor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties
made by it as a Pledgor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof in all
material respects. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Pledgor, as security for the payment
and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the U.S. Pledge Agreement), does hereby
create and grant to the U.S. Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New
Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the U.S. Pledge
Agreement) of the New Pledgor. Each reference to a “Subsidiary Pledgor” or a “Pledgor” in the U.S.
Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Pledgor. The U.S. Pledge Agreement is hereby
incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Pledgor represents and warrants to the U.S. Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of
general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law)).
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement
shall become effective when the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this
Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Pledgor and the U.S.
Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile
transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that set forth on Schedule I
attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of all its Pledged Securities.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the U.S. Pledge Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, neither party hereto shall be required to
comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and in the U.S. Pledge Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties
hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 15 of the Pledge Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to
Exhibit E-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement
Page 19
the New Pledgor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature hereto in
care of the U.S. Borrower.
SECTION 9. The New Pledgor agrees to reimburse the U.S. Collateral Agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other
charges and disbursements of counsel for the U.S. Collateral Agent.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Pledgor and the U.S. Collateral Agent have duly executed this
Supplement to the U.S. Pledge Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Province of Alberta (the “Canadian Parent”), PTI Premium Camp Services Ltd., a corporation

among other things, all the obligations of the Canadian Borrowers under the Credit Agreement. The
obligations of the Canadian Lenders to make Canadian Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue
Canadian Letters of Credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery by
the Pledgors of an Agreement in the form hereof to secure, as applicable (a) the due and punctual
payment by the Canadian Borrowers of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
(including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the
Canadian Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set
for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by the Canadian Borrowers under
the Credit Agreement in respect of any Canadian Letter of Credit, when and as due, including
payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide
cash collateral, and (iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and
indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary
obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other
similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Canadian
Borrowers to the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the
due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the
Canadian Borrowers under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the
due and punctual payment and performance of all the covenants, agreements, obligations and
liabilities of each other Canadian Loan Party under or pursuant to the Loan Documents, (d) the due
and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of the Canadian Borrowers under each
Hedging Agreement entered into with any counterparty that was a Canadian Lender (or an Affiliate of
a Canadian Lender) at the time such Hedging Agreement was entered into and (e) the due and punctual
performance of all Banking Services Obligations provided to the Canadian Borrowers or any
Subsidiary by any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender (all the monetary and other obligations
referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (e) being referred to collectively as the
“Obligations”).
Accordingly, the Pledgors and the Canadian Collateral Agent, on behalf of themselves and each
Canadian Secured Party (and each of their respective successors or assigns), hereby (a) agree that
the Existing Canadian Pledge Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement
and (b) further agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Pledge. As security for the payment and performance, as the case may be, in full
of the Obligations, each Pledgor hereby transfers, grants, bargains, sells, conveys, hypothecates,
pledges, sets over and delivers unto the Canadian Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, and
hereby grants to the Canadian Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit
of the Canadian Secured Parties, a security interest in all of such Pledgor’s right, title and
interest in, to and under (a) the Equity Interests owned by it and listed on Schedule II hereto and
any Equity Interests obtained in the future by such Pledgor and the certificates representing all
such Equity Interests (the “Pledged Stock”); provided that the Pledged Stock shall not include, to
the extent that applicable law requires that a Subsidiary of such Pledgor issue directors’
qualifying shares, such qualifying shares and provided that the Pledged Stock
Exhibit E-2 – Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement
Page 2
shall not include any shares in the share capital of PTI Premium issued to PTI Mars Holdco 1, LLC
pursuant to (i) that certain Forward Subscription Agreement (Principal) dated on or about the
Effective Date, between PTI Premium, as issuer, and PTI Mars Holdco 1, LLC, as subscriber, and (ii)
that certain Forward Subscription Agreement (Interest) dated on or about the Effective Date,
between PTI Premium, as issuer, and PTI Mars Holdco 1, LLC, as subscriber; (b) all other property
that may be delivered to and held by the Canadian Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof;

from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed, in respect of, in exchange for or
upon the conversion of the securities referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above; (d) subject to
Section 5 hereof, all rights and privileges of such Pledgor with respect to the securities and
other property referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above; and (e) all proceeds of any of
the foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (a) through (e) above being collectively referred
to as the “Collateral”). Upon delivery to the Canadian Collateral Agent, any share certificates,
notes or other securities now or hereafter included in the Collateral (the “Pledged Securities”)
shall be accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer
satisfactory to the Canadian Collateral Agent and by such other instruments and documents as the
Canadian Collateral Agent may reasonably request.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Collateral, together with all right, title, interest, powers, privileges
and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, unto the Canadian Collateral Agent, its
successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, forever; subject, however,
to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.
SECTION 2. Delivery of the Collateral. Each Pledgor agrees promptly to deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Canadian Collateral Agent any and all Pledged Securities, and any and all
certificates or other instruments or documents representing the Collateral.
SECTION 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each Pledgor hereby represents,
warrants and covenants, as to itself and the Collateral pledged by it hereunder, to and with the
Canadian Collateral Agent that:
(a) the Pledged Stock represents that percentage as set forth on Schedule II of the
issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Equity Interests of the issuer with
respect thereto;
(b) except for the security interest granted hereunder and as permitted by the Credit
Agreement, such Pledgor (i) is and will at all times continue to be the direct owner,
beneficially and of record, of the Pledged Securities indicated on Schedule II, (ii) holds
the same free and clear of all Liens, (iii) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation
or transfer of, or create or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the
Collateral, other than pursuant hereto except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, and (iv)
subject to Section 5 hereof, will cause any and all Collateral, whether for value paid by
such Pledgor or otherwise, to be forthwith deposited with the Canadian Collateral Agent and
pledged or assigned hereunder;
Exhibit E-2 – Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement
Page 3
(c) such Pledgor (i) has the power and authority to pledge the Collateral in the manner
hereby done or contemplated with full right and authority to create the security interest
and cause delivery of the Collateral to the Canadian Collateral Agent pursuant hereto and
(ii) will defend its title or interest thereto or therein against any and all Liens (other
than the Lien created by this Agreement or permitted by the Credit Agreement), however
arising, of all persons whomsoever;
SECTION 4. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. The Canadian Collateral Agent, on
behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold
the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as
sub-agent) or the name of the Pledgors, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Canadian
Collateral Agent. Each Pledgor will promptly give to the Canadian Collateral Agent copies of any
notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the
name of such Pledgor. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall at all times have the right to exchange
the certificates, if any, representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger
denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.
SECTION 5. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, etc. (a) Unless and until an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other
consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof
for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not be entitled to exercise
any such right without the prior written consent of the Canadian Collateral Agent if the
result thereof could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of the
Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the Secured Parties under this
Agreement or the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured
Parties to exercise the same.
(ii) The Canadian Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each Pledgor, or cause
to be executed and delivered to each Pledgor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other
instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor
to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise
pursuant to subparagraph (i) above and to receive the cash dividends it is entitled to
receive pursuant to subparagraph (iii) below.
(iii) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all cash dividends
on the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such cash dividends are
permitted by, and otherwise paid in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable laws. All noncash dividends, and all
dividends paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total
liquidation or dissolution, return of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and all
other distributions (other than distributions referred to in the preceding sentence) made on
or in respect of the Pledged Securities, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise,
whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification
Exhibit E-2 – Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement

|
of the outstanding capital stock of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in
exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a
result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such
issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Collateral, and, if
received by any Pledgor, shall not be commingled by such Pledgor with any of its other funds
or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Canadian Collateral Agent and shall be forthwith delivered to the Canadian
Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). |
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of any
Pledgor to dividends that such Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii)
above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Canadian Collateral
Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such
dividends. All dividends received by a Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 5 shall
be held in trust for the benefit of the Canadian Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other
property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Canadian Collateral Agent
upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and
other property paid over to or received by the Canadian Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions
of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Canadian Collateral Agent in an account to be
established by the Canadian Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall
be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 7. After all Events of Default have been
cured or waived, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall, within five Business Days after all such
Events of Default have been cured or waived, repay to each Pledgor all cash dividends (without
interest), that such Pledgor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of
paragraph (a)(iii) above and which remain in such account.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of any
Pledgor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant
to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 5, and the obligations of the Canadian Collateral Agent under
paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 5, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested
in the Canadian Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to
exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers, provided that, unless otherwise directed by
the Required Lenders, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time
following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgors to exercise such
rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, such Pledgor will have the right to
exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to
exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above.
SECTION 6. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the Canadian Collateral Agent may, in addition to any other remedies available at law
or equity or any other agreement (including the right to give entitlement orders, instructions or a
notice of exclusive control to a Securities Intermediary subject to an Account Control Agreement or
an issuer subject to an Issuer Control Agreement), sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at
public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery as the Canadian Collateral Agent shall deem
Exhibit E-2 – Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement
Page 5
appropriate. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it
advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent
and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with
a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Canadian
Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or
purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the
property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgors hereby waive all rights of redemption, stay,
valuation and appraisal any Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of
law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Canadian Collateral Agent shall give a Pledgor such prior written notice as may be
required under the Personal Property Security Act (Alberta) or other applicable law of the
Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of such Pledgor’s Collateral. Such notice, in the
case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a
broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is
to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale
at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Canadian Collateral Agent may fix and
state in the notice of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold
may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Canadian Collateral Agent may
(in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the
fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Canadian Collateral Agent
may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In
case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the
Collateral so sold may be retained by the Canadian Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid in
full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Canadian Collateral Agent shall not incur any
liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral
so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At
any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, private) sale made pursuant to this
Section 6, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay or
appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released), the
Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using
any claim then due and payable to it from such Pledgor as a credit against the purchase price, and
it may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without
further accountability to such Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, (a) a written agreement to
purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof, (b) the Canadian
Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and (c) such
Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject
thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have entered into
such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.
As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Canadian
Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the
Collateral and to
Exhibit E-2
— Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement
Page 6
sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts
having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
SECTION 7. Application of Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale of Collateral pursuant
to Section 6 hereof, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied by the Canadian
Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement. The Canadian Collateral
Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or
balances in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of the
Collateral by the Canadian Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by
statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Canadian
Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser
or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to
see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Canadian Collateral Agent
or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
SECTION 8. Canadian Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby
appoints the Canadian Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument
that the Canadian Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution
either in the Canadian Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Pledgor, to ask for, demand,
xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under
and by virtue of any Collateral, to endorse checks, drafts, orders and other instruments for the
payment of money payable to such Pledgor representing any interest or dividend or other
distribution payable in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof or on account thereof and to
give full discharge for the same, to settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action, claim or
proceeding with respect thereto, and to sell, assign, endorse, pledge, transfer and to make any
agreement respecting, or otherwise deal with, the same; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Canadian Collateral Agent to make any
commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the
Canadian Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with
respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof
or any property covered thereby. The Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall
be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted
to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct.
SECTION 9. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Canadian Collateral Agent in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Canadian Collateral Agent
Exhibit E-2
— Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement
Page 7
hereunder and of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any
provisions of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
No notice or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle such Pledgor to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Pledgor
or Pledgors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to
any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 10. Securities Act, etc. In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to the
Pledged Securities, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under
the Securities Act (Ontario) and the Securities Act (Alberta), as now or hereafter in effect, or
any similar statutes hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Acts and any such
similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Applicable Securities Laws”) with
respect to any disposition of the Pledged Securities permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands
that compliance with the Applicable Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of
conduct of the Canadian Collateral Agent if the Canadian Collateral Agent were to attempt to
dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Securities, and might also limit the extent to which or
the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Securities could dispose of the same.
Each Pledgor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Canadian Collateral
Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Securities, limit the purchasers to those who
will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Securities for their own account, for
investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges
and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Canadian Collateral Agent, in
its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a prospectus
for the purpose of qualifying for distribution and selling such Pledged Securities or part thereof
shall have been filed under the Applicable Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with
a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any
such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale
were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Canadian
Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the
Pledged Securities at a price that the Canadian Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the
possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred
until after the filing of a prospectus as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were
approached. The provisions of this Section 11 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public
or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at
which the Canadian Collateral Agent sells.
SECTION 11. [Intentionally Omitted].
Exhibit E-2
— Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement
Page 8
SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Canadian Collateral Agent
hereunder, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Pledgor
hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or
enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any
of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the
foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the
Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of, any Pledgor in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this Agreement (other
than the indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations).
SECTION 13. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement and the security interests granted
hereby shall terminate when all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the
Canadian Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the Canadian L/C
Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue
Canadian Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.
(b) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Pledgor of any Collateral that is permitted under
the Credit Agreement to any person that is not a Pledgor, or, upon the effectiveness of any written
consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to
Section 9.08(b) of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be
automatically released.
(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b), the
Canadian Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, all
documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any
execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without recourse to or
warranty by the Canadian Collateral Agent.
SECTION 14. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given
as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to
any Subsidiary Pledgor shall be given to it in care of the Canadian Parent.
SECTION 15. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and
to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the
Canadian Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration
and enforcement of this Agreement or with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or in order
better to assure and confirm unto the Canadian Collateral Agent its rights and remedies hereunder.
SECTION 16. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of
the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and
assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf
Exhibit E-2
— Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement
Page 9
of any Pledgor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of its
successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Pledgor when a counterpart
hereof executed on behalf of such Pledgor shall have been delivered to the Canadian Collateral
Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Canadian Collateral Agent,
and thereafter shall be binding upon such Pledgor and the Canadian Collateral Agent and their
respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Pledgor, the Canadian
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except
that no Pledgor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein or in
the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment shall be void), except as expressly contemplated
by, the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If all of the issued and
outstanding shares of a Pledgor are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is
not a Subsidiary of the Canadian Parent pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 of the
Credit Agreement, such Pledgor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement without
further action. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each
Pledgor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Pledgor
without the approval of any other Pledgor and without affecting the obligations of any other
Pledgor hereunder.
SECTION 17. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by each Pledgor herein and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Canadian Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Canadian Lenders of the Canadian Loans
and the issuance of the Canadian Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks, regardless of any
investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Canadian Loan or any other fee or
amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or the
Canadian L/C Exposure does not equal zero and as long as the Canadian Commitments and the
commitments of the Issuing Banks to issue Canadian Letters of Credit have not been terminated.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it
being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties
shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA, CANADA.
SECTION 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together,
Exhibit E-2
— Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement
Page 10
shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 17. Delivery
of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be
as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 20. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02
of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement. Section headings used herein are
for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
SECTION 21. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Pledgor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the Provinces of Ontario and Alberta, Canada, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Canadian
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Pledgor or its properties in the
courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents the courts of the Provinces of Ontario and Alberta, Canada. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 15. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 22. [Intentionally Omitted]
SECTION 23. Additional Pledgors. Pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement, each
Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary of the Canadian Parent that was not a Material Subsidiary
on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Agreement as a Subsidiary
Pledgor. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Canadian Collateral Agent and
such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary
Pledgor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Pledgor
herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Subsidiary Pledgor as a
party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Subsidiary Pledgor hereunder.
The rights and obligations of each Subsidiary Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Pledgor as a party to this Agreement.
Exhibit E-2
— Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement
Page 11
SECTION 24. Fraudulent Conveyance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
it is the intention of each Pledgor, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
that the amount of the Obligation secured by each Pledgor’s interests in any of its real or
personal property shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other similar law, rule or regulation of any Governmental
Authority or any Canadian authority applicable to such Pledgor. Accordingly, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement in any other agreement or instrument executed
in connection with the payment of any of the Obligations, the amount of the Obligations secured by
each Pledgor’s interests in any of its real or personal property pursuant to this Agreement shall
be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Pledgor’s
obligations hereunder or the liens and security interest granted to the Canadian Collateral Agent
hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any
comparable provision of any other applicable Insolvency Law or other law, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority or of any Canadian authority.
SECTION 25. Amendment and Restatement. The Pledgors and the Canadian Collateral Agent have
agreed that this Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Canadian Pledge
Agreement in its entirety and the terms and provisions hereof supersede the terms and provisions
thereof, and this Agreement is not a new or substitute agreement or novation of the Existing
Canadian Pledge Agreement.

affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of
general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law)).

Page 18
or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein and in the Canadian Pledge Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired.
The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the
U.S. Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take

respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the

against the U.S. Collateral Agent or any Secured Party. It is understood and agreed that the
appointment of the U.S. Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the
purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The provisions of this
Section shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its

the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale
thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have the right to
assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each
such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or
right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law)
all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
Exhibit F-1
— Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Security Agreement
Page 11
The U.S. Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor
agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the
State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the U.S. Collateral Agent’s
intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state
the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities
exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which
the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any
such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such
place or places as the U.S. Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.
At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an
entirety or in separate parcels, as the U.S. Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute
discretion) determine. The U.S. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any
Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such
Collateral shall have been given. The U.S. Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part
of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained
by the U.S. Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof,
but the U.S. Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such
failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent
permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid for or
purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or
appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the
extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment
on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor
as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms
of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor
therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion
thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the U.S. Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out
such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the
Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the U.S.
Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been
remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale
herein conferred upon it, the U.S. Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in
equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a
judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding
by a court-appointed receiver.
SECTION 6.02 Application of Proceeds. The U.S. Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of
any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, in
accordance with Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement. The U.S. Collateral Agent shall have
absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in
accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the
U.S. Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial
proceeding), the receipt of the U.S. Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale
Exhibit F-1
— Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Security Agreement
Page 12
shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and
such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the
purchase money paid over to the U.S. Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way
for the misapplication thereof.
SECTION 6.03 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the
U.S. Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article at such time as the U.S.
Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor
hereby grants to the U.S. Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable
without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sub-license
any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to
all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software
and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the U.S.
Collateral Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the U.S. Collateral Agent, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license,
sub-license or other transaction entered into by the U.S. Collateral Agent in accordance herewith
shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
ARTICLE VII
Miscellaneous
SECTION 7.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit
Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it at its
address or telecopy number set forth on Schedule I, with a copy to the U.S. Borrower.
SECTION 7.02 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the U.S. Collateral Agent hereunder,
the Security Interest and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement,
any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other
agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or
place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment
or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other
collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any
guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect
of the Obligations or this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by any Grantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, and
Exhibit F-1
— Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Security Agreement
Page 13
the execution and delivery to the Lenders of any notes evidencing such Loans, regardless of
any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and
effect until this Agreement shall terminate.
SECTION 7.04 Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to
any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered
to the U.S. Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the
U.S. Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the U.S. Collateral
Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor,
the U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and
assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or
transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement
or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with
respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect
to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of
any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 7.05 Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is
referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party;
and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the U.S. Collateral
Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
successors and assigns.
SECTION 7.06 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED
BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7.07 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the U.S. Collateral Agent in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the U.S. Collateral Agent hereunder and of
the U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure
by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case
shall entitle such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the U.S. Collateral Agent and the
Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply,
subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.
Exhibit F-1
— Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Security Agreement
Page 14
SECTION 7.08 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF
ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE
OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.09.
SECTION 7.09 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other
jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as
close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one
contract and shall become effective as provided in Section 7.04. Delivery of an executed signature
page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart hereof.
SECTION 7.11 Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for the purpose of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be
taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 7.12 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting
in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each
of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the U.S. Collateral
Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Grantor or
its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
Exhibit F-1
— Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Security Agreement
Page 15
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 7.13 Termination. This Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate when all
the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Lenders have no further commitment to
lend, the Aggregate L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have no further
commitment to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, at which time the U.S. Collateral
Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors’ expense, all Uniform Commercial
Code termination statements and similar documents which the Grantors shall reasonably request to
evidence such termination. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents
pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the U.S. Collateral
Agent. A Grantor (other than the U.S. Borrower) shall automatically be released from its
obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be
automatically released in the event that all the capital stock of such Grantor shall be sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is not a Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided that the Required Lenders shall have
consented to such sale, transfer or other disposition (to the extent required by the Credit
Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise.
SECTION 7.14 Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement, each
Domestic Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that was not a Material
Subsidiary on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Agreement as a
Subsidiary Grantor. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the U.S. Collateral Agent
and such Domestic Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 2 hereto, such Domestic
Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named
as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as
a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights
and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.15 Fraudulent Conveyance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, it is the intention of each Grantor, the U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties that the amount of the Obligation secured by each Grantor’s interests in any of its real or
personal property shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other similar law, rule or regulation of any Governmental
Authority applicable to such Grantor. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement in any other agreement or instrument executed in
Exhibit F-1
— Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Security Agreement
Page 16
connection with the payment of any of the Obligations, the amount of the Obligations secured
by each Grantor’s interests in any of its real or personal property pursuant to this Agreement
shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such
Grantor’s obligations hereunder or the liens and security interest granted to the U.S. Collateral
Agent hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any
comparable provision of any other applicable Insolvency Law or other law, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority.
SECTION 7.16 Amendment and Restatement. The Grantors and Xxxxx Fargo have agreed that this
Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Security Agreement in its entirety and
the terms and provisions hereof supersede the terms and provisions thereof, and this Agreement is
not a new or substitute agreement or novation of the Existing Security Agreement. All the rights,
titles, liens, security interests, and assignments securing the Obligations (as defined in the
Existing Security Agreement) shall secure the Obligations, insofar and only insofar as the same
cover the Collateral, and all liens, security interests, and assignments against the Collateral
securing the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Security Agreement) are hereby renewed,
extended, and modified to secure the Obligations.

Annex 2 to the
Amended and Restated
U.S. Security Agreement
SUPPLEMENT NO. __ dated as of [____________] (the “Supplement”) to the Amended and Restated U.S.
Security Agreement dated as of [______], 2010 (the “Security Agreement”), among OIL STATES
INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “U.S. Borrower”), each subsidiary of the U.S.
Borrower listed on Schedule I thereto (each such subsidiary individually a “Subsidiary Guarantor”
and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Subsidiary Guarantors and the U.S. Borrower are
referred to collectively herein as the “Grantors”) and XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
(“Xxxxx Fargo”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “U.S. Collateral Agent”) for the
Secured Parties (as defined herein).
A. Reference is made to (a) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of [______ ],
2010 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”),
among the U.S. Borrower, PTI Group Inc. (the “Canadian Parent”), PTI Premium Camp Services Ltd.
(“PTI Premium” and, together with the Canadian
Parent, the “Canadian Borrowers” and, together
with the U.S. Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the
“Lenders”), Xxxxx Fargo, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and
U.S. Collateral Agent, and Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), as administrative agent and Canadian
Collateral Agent for the Canadian Lenders, and (b) the Security Agreement.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to
make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit. Section 7.15 of Security Agreement
provides that additional Domestic Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower may become Grantors under the
Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The
undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the
requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement in order to
induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue additional Letters of
Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.
Accordingly, the U.S. Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.15 of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its
signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if
originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and
provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents
and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true
and correct on and as of the date hereof in all material respects. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations
(as defined in the Security Agreement), does hereby create and grant to
Exhibit F-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Security Agreement
Page 32
the U.S. Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Grantor’s right,
title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New
Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the
New Grantor.
SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the U.S. Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of
general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law)).
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the U.S.
Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together,
bear the signatures of the New Grantor and the U.S. Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed
signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that Schedule I attached hereto is
true and correct.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any
other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 7.01 of the Security Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New
Grantor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature below.
SECTION 9. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the U.S. Collateral Agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other
charges and disbursements of counsel for the U.S. Collateral Agent.

any person acquiring such interest of such Grantor. To the extent that the creation of the

nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any

Exhibit F-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Security Agreement
Page 9
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the
Canadian Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the purposes set
forth above is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall
in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan
Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the
Canadian Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to proceed in any particular manner with respect to
the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Canadian Collateral
Agent or any Secured Party of any other or further right which it may have on the date of this

ARTICLE VI
Remedies
SECTION 6.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Canadian Collateral
Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right to take
any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any
Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become
an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Grantors
to the Canadian Collateral Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or
otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the
world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Canadian Collateral Agent shall
determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that
waivers cannot be obtained), and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable laws, with or without
legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the
Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be
located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral and, generally, to
exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the PPSA or other applicable law.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Canadian Collateral
Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the
Canadian Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall be
authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders
or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for
their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon
consummation of any such sale the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign,
transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on
the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby
Exhibit F-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Security Agreement
Page 10
waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such
Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing
or hereafter enacted.
The Canadian Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors such prior written notice as may be
required under the PPSA or other applicable law of the Canadian Collateral Agent’s intention to
make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and
place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange,
shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the
Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such
public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or
places as the Canadian Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At
any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety
or in separate parcels, as the Canadian Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion)
determine. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral
if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral
shall have been given. The Canadian Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn
any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at
the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time
and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the
Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the
Canadian Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but
the Canadian Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such
failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent
permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid for or
purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or
appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the
extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment
on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor
as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms
of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor
therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion
thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be free to carry
out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the
Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Canadian
Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been
remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale
herein conferred upon it, the Canadian Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in
equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a
judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding
by a court-appointed receiver.
Each Grantor agrees that the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise the following remedies in addition
Exhibit F-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Security Agreement
Page 11
to any other remedies available at law or equity or contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, all of which remedies shall be independent and cumulative:

|

premises and the Equipment and other Collateral located thereon; |
|
(b) |
|
take such steps and expend such monies as it considers necessary or desirable
in its sole discretion to maintain, preserve and protect the Collateral, including
payments on account of other security interests affecting the Collateral; provided that
the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any such actions or make
any such expenditures; but any such amounts paid by the Canadian Collateral Agent shall
be added to the Obligations and shall be secured hereby; |
|
(c) |
|
collect any rents, income, and profits received in connection with the business
of any Grantor or the Collateral, without carrying on such business; |
|
(d) |
|
carry on the business of any Grantor or any portion thereof; |
|
(e) |
|
borrow money for the maintenance, preservation or protection of the Collateral
or for the carrying on of the business of any Grantor, and charge and grant further
security interests in the Collateral in priority to the Security Interest, as security
for the money so borrowed; |
|
(f) |
|
appoint by instrument in writing a receiver, or a receiver and manager (each of
which is herein called a “Receiver”) in respect of any Grantor and/or the Collateral or
any portion thereof; |
|
(g) |
|
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver
or a receiver and manager in respect of any Grantor and/or the Collateral or any
portion thereof; and |
|
(h) |
|
file proofs of claim and other documents in order to have the claims of the
Secured Parties lodged in any bankruptcy, winding-up, or other judicial proceeding
relating to any Grantor or the Collateral. |
Any Receiver appointed by the Canadian Collateral Agent may be any person or persons, and the
Canadian Collateral Agent may remove any Receiver so appointed and appoint another or others
instead. The Receiver may exercise all powers of the Canadian Collateral Agent as provided in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Receiver shall act as agent for the Canadian Collateral
Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral, and (except as provided below) as
agent for the applicable Grantor for all other purposes, including without limitation the
occupation of any premises of such Guarantor and in carrying on such Grantor’s business. For the
purposes of realizing upon the Security Interest, the Receiver may sell, lease, or otherwise
dispose of Collateral as agent for any Grantor or as agent for the Canadian Collateral Agent as it
may determine in its discretion. Each Grantor agrees to ratify and confirm all actions of the
Exhibit F-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Security Agreement
Page 12
Receiver acting as agent for such Grantor, and to release and indemnify the Receiver in respect of
all such actions.
SECTION 6.02. Application of Proceeds. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall apply the
proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash,
in accordance with Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall have
absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in
accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the
Canadian Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a
judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Canadian Collateral Agent or of the officer making the
sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and
such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the
purchase money paid over to the Canadian Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any
way for the misapplication thereof.
SECTION 6.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the
Canadian Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article at such time as the
Canadian Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each
Grantor hereby grants to the Canadian Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or
sub-license any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license
reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to
all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such
license by the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Canadian
Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided
that any license, sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Canadian Collateral Agent in
accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an
Event of Default.
ARTICLE VII

Page 13
amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any
Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure
from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor
in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by any Grantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied
upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Canadian Lenders of the Canadian
Loans, and the execution and delivery to the Canadian Lenders of any notes evidencing such Canadian
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Canadian Lenders or on their behalf, and shall
continue in full force and effect until this Agreement shall terminate.
SECTION 7.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to
any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered
to the Canadian Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the
Canadian Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Canadian
Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
such Grantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its
rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such
assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the
Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate
agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or
released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without
affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 7.05. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto
is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party;
and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Canadian
Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 7.06. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA, CANADA.
SECTION 7.07. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Canadian Collateral Agent
in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder and
of the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
Exhibit F-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Security Agreement
Page 14
that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or
demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Canadian Collateral
Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is
to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7.08. [Intentionally Omitted]
SECTION 7.09. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other
jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as
close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one
contract and shall become effective as provided in Section 7.04. Delivery of an executed signature
page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart hereof.
SECTION 7.11. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for the purpose of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be
taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 7.12. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the Provinces of Ontario and Alberta, Canada, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Canadian
Collateral Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks which issue Canadian Letters
of Credit or any Canadian Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of
any jurisdiction.
Exhibit F-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Security Agreement
Page 15
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents in the courts of the Provinces of Ontario and Alberta, Canada. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 7.13. Termination. This Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate when all
the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Canadian Lenders have no further
commitment to lend, the Canadian L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have
no further commitment to issue Canadian Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, at which time
the Canadian Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors’ expense,
all PPSA financing change statements, discharges and similar documents which the Grantors shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination. Any execution and delivery of discharges or
documents pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Canadian
Collateral Agent. A Grantor (other than the Canadian Borrower) shall automatically be released
from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be
automatically released in the event that all the issued and outstanding shares of such Grantor
shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is not a Subsidiary of the
Canadian Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided that the Required
Lenders shall have consented to such sale, transfer or other disposition (to the extent required by
the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise.
SECTION 7.14. Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement, each
Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary of the Canadian Parent that was not a Material Subsidiary
on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Agreement as a Subsidiary
Grantor. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Canadian Collateral Agent and
such Canadian Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 2 hereto, such Canadian Subsidiary
shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor
herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to
this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and
obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.15. Collateral. Collateral shall not include any property or assets the granting of
a Lien on, or a security interest in, which would result in adverse tax consequences to the U.S.
Borrower or any Subsidiary including, without limitation, (1) that certain Forward Subscription
Agreement (Principal), dated on or about the Effective Date, between PTI Premium, as issuer, and
PTI Mars Holdco 1, LLC, as subscriber, (2) that certain Forward Subscription Agreement (Interest),
dated on or about the Effective Date, between PTI Premium, as issuer, and PTI Mars Holdco 1, LLC,
as subscriber, (3) that certain Assignment of Forward
Exhibit F-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Security Agreement
Page 16
Subscription Agreement (Principal), dated on or about the Effective Date, between PTI Premium, as
assignor, and the U.S. Borrower, as assignee, and (4) that certain Loan Agreement, dated on or
about the Effective Date, between the U.S. Borrower, as lender, and PTI Premium, as borrower, and
any rights under or interests in any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any “assigned
rights” as defined in the agreement listed in clause (3) above).
SECTION 7.16. Fraudulent Conveyance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, it is the intention of each Grantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties that the amount of the Obligation secured by each Grantor’s interests in any of its real or
personal property shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other similar law, rule or regulation of any Governmental
Authority or any Canadian authority applicable to such Grantor. Accordingly, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement in any other agreement or instrument executed
in connection with the payment of any of the Obligations, the amount of the Obligations secured by
each Grantor’s interests in any of its real or personal property pursuant to this Agreement shall
be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Grantor’s
obligations hereunder or the liens and security interest granted to the Canadian Collateral Agent
hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any
comparable provision of any other applicable Insolvency Law or other law, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority or any Canadian authority.
SECTION 7.17. Amendment and Restatement. The Grantors and Royal Bank of Canada have agreed
that this Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Security Agreement in its
entirety and the terms and provisions hereof supersede the terms and provisions thereof, and this
Agreement is not a new or substitute agreement or novation of the Existing Security Agreement. All
the rights, titles, liens, security interests, and assignments securing the Obligations (as defined
in the Existing Security Agreement) shall secure the Obligations, insofar and only insofar as the
same cover the Collateral, and all liens, security interests, and assignments against the
Collateral securing the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Security Agreement) are hereby
renewed, extended, and modified to secure the Obligations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and
year first above written.

Page 26
Annex 2 to the
Amended and Restated
Canadian Security Agreement
SUPPLEMENT NO. __ dated as of [_____________] (the “Supplement”), to the Amended and Restated
Canadian Security Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010 (the “Security Agreement”), among PTI
GROUP INC., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, (the “Canadian
Parent”), PTI PREMIUM CAMP SERVICES LTD., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of the Province
of Alberta (“PTI Premium” and, together with the Canadian Parent, the “Canadian Borrowers”), each
subsidiary of the Canadian Borrowers listed on Schedule I thereto (each such subsidiary
individually a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Canadian Borrowers are referred to collectively herein as the
“Grantors”) and ROYAL BANK OF CANADA (“RBC”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Canadian
Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined herein).
A. Reference is made to (a) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December
10, 2010 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), among the Canadian Borrowers, Oil States International Inc. (the “U.S. Borrower” and,
together with the Canadian Borrowers, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto
(the “Lenders”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity,
the “Administrative Agent”) and U.S. Collateral Agent, and Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative
agent and Canadian Collateral Agent for the Canadian Lenders, and (b) the Security Agreement.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Canadian
Lenders to make Canadian Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Canadian Letters of Credit. Section
7.15 of Security Agreement provides that additional Canadian Subsidiaries of the Canadian Borrowers
may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the
form of this Supplement. The undersigned Canadian Subsidiary (the “New Grantor”) is executing this
Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under
the Security Agreement in order to induce the Canadian Lenders to make additional Canadian Loans
and the Issuing Banks to issue additional Canadian Letters of Credit and as consideration for
Canadian Loans previously made and Canadian Letters of Credit previously issued.

general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law)).

other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the

Page 13
|
(vii) |
|
in respect of an item of Secured Property, when any
Security Interest over any of the Secured Property is enforced or any floating
Security Interest over any of the Secured Property crystallises or otherwise
becomes a fixed Security Interest; |
|
(b) |
|
in respect of the proceeds of any book debt or other debt or other moneys
now or in the future payable to that Chargor and which are the subject of the floating
charge, when notice in respect of those proceeds or moneys is given to the Chargor by
the Chargee at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is subsisting; or |
|
(c) |
|
in respect of any asset forming part of the Secured Property when the
Chargee gives notice in respect of that asset to the Chargor upon or any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default which is subsisting. |
|
(a) |
|
Where an asset has become subject to a fixed charge under clause 2.4, the
Chargee may release the asset from that fixed charge by notice in writing to the
Chargor as of the date specified in the notice. |
|

|
The Chargee may from time to time lodge a notice under section 268(2) of
the Corporations Act on behalf of the Chargor specifying an increase in the maximum
amount of the prospective liability referred to in clause 2.6(a) and from the date of
lodgement the amount specified in clause 2.6(a) is to be regarded as varied to the
amount specified in that notice. |
|
(c) |
|
Neither clause 2.6(a) nor clause 2.6(b) in any way affects or limits the
actual amount of Secured Moneys which may in fact be secured by the Charge. |
|
(d) |
|
Clauses 2.6(a), 2.6(b) and 2.6(c) are to be construed independently of each

2.4 Crystallisation
|

|
without the Chargee giving any notice to the Chargor: |
|

fixed charge; |
|

or enforce any distress, attachment, execution, statutory assignment, statutory
charge or other similar right or process against or upon the Secured Property; |
|
(vii) |
|
in respect of an item of Secured Property, when any
Security Interest over any of the Secured Property is enforced or any floating

becomes a fixed Security Interest; |
|
(b) |
|
in respect of the proceeds of any book debt or other debt or other moneys
now or in the future payable to that Chargor and which are the subject of the floating
charge, when notice in respect of those proceeds or moneys is given to the Chargor by
the Chargee at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is subsisting; or |
|
(c) |
|
in respect of any asset forming part of the Secured Property when the
Chargee gives notice in respect of that asset to the Chargor upon or any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default which is subsisting. |

|
When an asset is released from the fixed charge under clause 2.5(a), the

|
The Chargee may from time to time lodge a notice under section 268(2) of
the Corporations Act on behalf of the Chargor specifying an increase in the maximum
amount of the prospective liability referred to in clause 2.6(a) and from the date of
lodgement the amount specified in clause 2.6(a) is to be regarded as varied to the
amount specified in that notice. |
|
(c) |
|
Neither clause 2.6(a) nor clause 2.6(b) in any way affects or limits the
actual amount of Secured Moneys which may in fact be secured by the Charge. |
|
(d) |
|
Clauses 2.6(a), 2.6(b) and 2.6(c) are to be construed independently of each

giving notice to any person, exercise any Power of the Receiver in addition to any
Power of the Chargee. |
|
(b) |
|
The exercise of any Power by any Enforcing Party does not cause or deem
such Enforcing Party: |
|
(i) |
|
to be a mortgagee in possession; |

9.2 Amounts contingently due
|

of the Secured Moneys is contingently owing, the Enforcing Party may retain an amount
equal to the amount contingently owing or any part of it. |
|
(b) |
|
If an Enforcing Party retains any amount under clause 9.2(a), it must place

EXHIBIT G-1
[Form of]
AMENDED AND RESTATED U.S. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
AMENDED AND RESTATED U.S. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (as supplemented from time to time,
this “Agreement”) dated as of December 10, 2010, among each of the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule
I hereto (each such subsidiary individually, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively, the
“Subsidiary Guarantors”) of OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “U.S.
Borrower”), and XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as collateral agent (in such capacity, the
“U.S. Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the U.S. Security Agreement).
Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among
the U.S. Borrower, PTI Group Inc. (the “Canadian Parent”), PTI Premium Camp Services Ltd. (“PTI
Premium” and, together with the Canadian Parent, the “Canadian Borrowers” and, together with
the U.S. Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”),
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders and U.S. Collateral Agent, and Royal Bank of Canada
(“RBC”), as administrative agent and Canadian Collateral Agent for the Canadian Lenders.
Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms
in the Credit Agreement.
The Subsidiary Guarantors and the U.S. Collateral Agent are parties to that certain U.S.
Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement dated as of October 30, 2003 (as heretofore amended, restated and
otherwise modified, the “Existing U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement”).
The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers, and the Issuing Banks have agreed to
issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, pursuant to, and upon the terms and
subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is
a Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit
from the making of the Loans by the Lenders, and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the
Issuing Banks. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue
Letters of Credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery by the
Subsidiary Guarantors of a Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement in the form hereof. As consideration
therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of
Credit, the Subsidiary Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties hereto (a) agree that the Existing U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee
Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and (b) further agree as
follows:
SECTION 1. Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees,
jointly with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as
a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment by the Borrowers of (i) the principal of
Exhibit G-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 1
and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or
allowable in such proceeding) on the Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by
the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due,
including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations
to provide cash collateral and (iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs,
expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise
(including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such
proceeding), of the Borrowers to the Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements,
obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, (c) the due and punctual payment and performance of all covenants,
agreements, obligations and liabilities of each Loan Party under or pursuant to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, (d) the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of
either Borrower, monetary or otherwise, under each Hedging Agreement entered into with a
counterparty that was a Lender (or an affiliate of a Lender) at the time such Hedging Agreement was
entered into and (e) the due and punctual performance of all Banking Services Obligations provided
to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary by any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender (all the monetary and
other obligations referred to in the preceding lettered clauses of this paragraph being referred to
collectively as the “Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations
may be extended, renewed or increased, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent
from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension, renewal or
increase of any Obligation.
SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each
Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrowers of
any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest
for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the U.S. Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right
or remedy against the Borrowers or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the provisions of the Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or
modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Subsidiary
Guarantor under this Agreement, (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release
of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party, or (d) any other defenses that might otherwise be available to a surety or a guarantor
(other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations).
SECTION 3. Security. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors authorizes the U.S. Collateral Agent
to (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Guarantee and the Obligations and exchange,
enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or
manner of sale thereof as it in its sole discretion may determine and (c) release or substitute any
one or more endorsees, other guarantors or other obligors.
Exhibit G-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 2
SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its
guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right
to require that any resort be had by the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any of
the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit
on the books of the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of any Borrower or
any other person.
SECTION 5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination
for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including
any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and
shall not be subject to any defense (other than a defense of payment) or setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of
the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by
the failure of the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand
or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or
delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission
that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or that
would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity
(other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, it is the intention of each Subsidiary Guarantor, the
U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that the amount of the Obligations guaranteed
by each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by
fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other similar law, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority applicable to such Subsidiary Guarantor. Accordingly, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement or instrument
executed in connection with the payment of any of the Obligations, the amount of the Obligations
guaranteed by each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement shall be limited to an aggregate
amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any
comparable provision of any other applicable Insolvency Law or other law, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority.
SECTION 6. Defenses of Borrowers Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the
Borrowers or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the
cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrowers, other than the final and indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or
more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of
foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with
the Borrowers or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them
against the Borrowers or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in
any way the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the
Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law,
each of the
Exhibit G-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 3
Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election even though
such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Subsidiary Guarantor against a
Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.
There are no conditions precedent to the enforcement of this Agreement, except as expressly
contained herein. It shall not be necessary for the U.S. Collateral Agent or the other Secured
Parties, in order to enforce payment by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, to show any
proof of a Borrower’s default, to exhaust the U.S. Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties’
remedies against the Borrowers, any other guarantor, or any other Person liable for the payment or
performance of the Obligations or to enforce any other means of obtaining payment or performance of
the Obligations. The U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not be required to
mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect, or enforce the Obligations.
SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any
other right that the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity
against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of a Borrower or any other Loan
Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to
and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the U.S. Collateral Agent or such other Secured
Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations.
SECTION 8. Indemnity, Subrogation, Contribution and Subordination. (a) In addition to all
such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under applicable law
(but subject to paragraph (c) below), the Borrowers agree that (i) in the event a payment shall be
made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrowers shall indemnify such
Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of
such payment and (ii) in the event any assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to
any Security Document to satisfy a claim of any Secured Party, the Borrowers shall indemnify such
Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value
of the assets so sold.
(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to paragraph (c)
below) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor under the U.S.
Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or assets of any other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant
to any Security Document to satisfy a claim of any Secured Party and such other Subsidiary
Guarantor (the “Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the
Borrowers as provided in paragraph (a) above, the Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor shall indemnify
the Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater
of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing
Subsidiary Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all
the Subsidiary Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming
a party hereto pursuant to Section 21, the date of the
Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Subsidiary Guarantor). Any Contributing
Subsidiary Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this
Exhibit G-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 4
paragraph (b) shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor under
paragraph (a) above to the extent of such payment.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the
Subsidiary Guarantors under paragraphs (a) and (b) above and all other rights of indemnity,
contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrowers
or any Subsidiary Guarantor to make the payments required by paragraphs (a) and (b) above (or any
other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder,
and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of its obligations hereunder.
In addition, any indebtedness of the Borrowers now or hereafter held by any Subsidiary Guarantor
is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. If any
amount shall erroneously be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of (i) any subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of the
Borrowers while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such amount shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the U.S. Collateral
Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 9. Information. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors assumes all responsibility for
being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all
other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope
and extent of the risks that such Subsidiary Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees
that none of the U.S. Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise
any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such
circumstances or risks.
SECTION 10. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors represents and
warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it contained in the
Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent such
representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date. Each Subsidiary Guarantor has
determined that its guarantee hereunder is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and
attainment of the business of such Subsidiary Guarantor and each Borrower.
SECTION 11. Termination. The Guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the
Obligations (other than wholly contingent indemnification obligations) then due and owing have been
indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit
Agreement, the Aggregate L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have no
further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any Subsidiary
Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or
otherwise.
SECTION 12. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of
the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
Exhibit G-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 5
successors and
assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Subsidiary
Guarantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party
hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to
any Subsidiary Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor
shall have been delivered to the U.S. Collateral Agent, and a counterpart hereof shall have been
executed on behalf of the U.S. Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such
Subsidiary Guarantor and the U.S. Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of such Subsidiary Guarantor, the U.S. Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Subsidiary Guarantor
shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any
such attempted assignment shall be void). If all of the capital stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor is
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 of
the Credit Agreement, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this
Agreement without further action. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with
respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released
with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor without the approval of any other Subsidiary Guarantor and
without affecting the obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 13. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the U.S. Collateral Agent in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the U.S. Collateral Agent hereunder and of
the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to
which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the U.S. Collateral Agent, with the prior
written consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement).
SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 15. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given
as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to
each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the U.S. Borrower.
Exhibit G-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 6
SECTION 16. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Subsidiary Guarantors herein and in the certificates or
other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the U.S. Collateral Agent and
the other Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance
of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks regardless of any investigation made by the Secured
Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of
or any accrued interest on any Loan or any other fee or amount payable under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or the Aggregate L/C Exposure does not equal zero and
as long as the Commitments and the commitment of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit have
not been terminated.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other
Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect
of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract,
and shall become effective as provided in Section 12. Delivery of an executed signature page to
this Agreement by fax transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 18. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02 of
the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.
SECTION 19. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting
in the Borough of Manhattan, New York and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each
of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the U.S. Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Subsidiary Guarantor or its properties in
the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have
Exhibit G-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 7
to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 15. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 20. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE,
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 20.
SECTION 21. Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit
Agreement, each Domestic Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that was not
a Material Subsidiary on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Agreement
as a Subsidiary Guarantor. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the U.S.
Collateral Agent and such Domestic Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1, such
Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as
if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument
adding an additional Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the

Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new
Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured
Party to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary Guarantor against any or all the
obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 22 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party
may have.

(a) Fraudulent Transfer Laws. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement on any date

under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any applicable provisions of
comparable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization, or relief of debtors.

Delaware corporation (the “U.S. Borrower”), and XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
collateral agent (the “U.S. Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the U.S.
Security Agreement).
A. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 10,

assigned to such terms in the U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and the Credit Agreement.
C. The Subsidiary Guarantors have entered into the U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement in
order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit.
Pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement, each Domestic Subsidiary that is a Material

Agreement is required to enter into the U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement as a Subsidiary
Guarantor. Section 21 of the U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement provides that additional Domestic

Exhibit G-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 12
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 21 of the U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, the New
Subsidiary Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor under the U.S.
Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a
Subsidiary Guarantor and the New Subsidiary Guarantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and
provisions of the U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Guarantor
thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a
Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date
hereof. Each reference to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” in the U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary Guarantor. The U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants to the U.S. Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable
principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law)).
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement
shall become effective when the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this
Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Subsidiary Guarantor and the
U.S. Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by fax
transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this

held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions contained herein and in the U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision hereof in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of
such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 15 of the U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement. All communications and
Exhibit G-1 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement

EXHIBIT G-2
[Form of]
AMENDED AND RESTATED
CANADIAN SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
AMENDED AND RESTATED CANADIAN SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of
December 10, 2010, among each of the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule I hereto (each such subsidiary
individually, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) of PTI GROUP
INC., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Alberta (the “Canadian Parent”),
PTI Premium Camp Services Ltd., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Alberta
(“PTI Premium” and, together with the Canadian Parent, the “Canadian Borrowers”) and ROYAL BANK OF
CANADA (“RBC”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Canadian Collateral Agent”) for the
Secured Parties (as defined in the Canadian Security Agreement).
Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among
the Canadian Borrowers, Oil States International, Inc. (the “U.S. Borrower” and, together with the
Canadian Borrowers, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”),
Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders and U.S. Collateral Agent, and Royal Bank of Canada, as
administrative agent and Canadian Collateral Agent for the Canadian Lenders. Capitalized terms
used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit
Agreement.
The Subsidiary Guarantors and The Bank of Nova Scotia, in its capacity as former Canadian
collateral agent, are parties to that certain Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement dated as of
October 30, 2003 (as heretofore amended, restated and otherwise modified, the “Existing Canadian
Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement”).
The Canadian Lenders have agreed to make Canadian Loans to the Canadian Borrowers, and the
Issuing Banks have agreed to issue Canadian Letters of Credit for the account of the Canadian
Borrowers, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit
Agreement. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is a Subsidiary of the Canadian Borrowers and
acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Canadian Loans by the
Canadian Lenders, and the issuance of the Canadian Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks. The
obligations of the Canadian Lenders to make Canadian Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue
Canadian Letters of Credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery by
the Subsidiary Guarantors of a Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement in the form hereof. As consideration
therefor and in order to induce the Canadian Lenders to make Canadian Loans and the Issuing Banks
to issue Canadian Letters of Credit, the Subsidiary Guarantors are willing to execute this
Agreement.
Exhibit G-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 1
Accordingly, the parties hereto (a) agree that the Existing Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee
Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and (b) further agree as
follows:
SECTION 1. Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees,
jointly with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as
a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment by each of the Canadian Borrowers of (i) the principal
of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or
allowable in such proceeding) on the Canadian Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to
be made by the Canadian Borrowers under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Canadian Letter of
Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest
thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral and (iii) all other monetary obligations,
including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent,
fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in
such proceeding), of the Canadian Borrowers to the Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual performance of all covenants,
agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Canadian Borrowers under or pursuant to the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the due and punctual payment and performance of all
covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of each Canadian Loan Party under or pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the due and punctual payment and performance of
all obligations of the Canadian Borrowers, monetary or otherwise, under each Hedging Agreement
entered into with a counterparty that was a Canadian Lender (or an affiliate of a Canadian Lender)
at the time such Hedging Agreement was entered into and (e) the due and punctual performance of
all Banking Services Obligations provided to the Canadian Borrowers or any Subsidiary by any Lender
or any Affiliate of a Lender (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding
lettered clauses of this paragraph being referred to collectively as the “Obligations”). Each
Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended, renewed or increased, in
whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon
its guarantee notwithstanding any extension, renewal or increase of any Obligation. If any or all
of the Obligations are not duly paid or performed by the Canadian Borrowers and are not recoverable
under the guarantee provided for in this Agreement for any reason, each Grantor will, as a separate
and distinct obligation, indemnify and save harmless the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties from and against all losses resulting from the failure of the Canadian Borrowers to pay and
perform such Obligations.
SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each
Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Canadian
Borrowers of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and
notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the
Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or
exercise any right or remedy against the Canadian Borrowers or any
Exhibit G-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 2
Subsidiary Guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or
otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the
terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other
agreement, including with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, (c) the
failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on
behalf of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, or (d) any other defenses that
might otherwise be available to a surety or a guarantor (other than the indefeasible payment in
full in cash of the Obligations).
SECTION 3. Security. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors authorizes the Canadian Collateral
Agent to (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Guarantee and the Obligations and
exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the
order or manner of sale thereof as it in its sole discretion may determine and (c) release or
substitute any one or more endorsees, other guarantors or other obligors.
SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee
constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require
that any resort be had by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the
security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on
the books of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Canadian
Borrowers or any other person.
SECTION 5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination
for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including
any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and
shall not be subject to any defense (other than a defense of payment) or setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of
the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by
the failure of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or
demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or
delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission
that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or that
would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity
(other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).
SECTION 6. Defenses of Canadian Borrower Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any
defense of the Canadian Borrowers or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof
from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Canadian Borrowers, other
than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The Canadian
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security
held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an
Exhibit G-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 3
assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the
Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Canadian Borrowers or any other guarantor or
exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Canadian Borrowers or any other
guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor
hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in
cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense arising out
of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or
to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Subsidiary
Guarantor against the Canadian Borrowers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor, as the
case may be, or any security.
SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any
other right that the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity
against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Canadian Borrowers or
any other Canadian Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether
at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Canadian Collateral Agent or
such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations.
SECTION 8. Indemnity, Subrogation, Contribution and Subordination. (a) In addition to all
such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under applicable law
(but subject to paragraph (c) below), the Canadian Borrowers agree that (i) in the event a payment
shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Canadian Borrowers shall
indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made
to the extent of such payment and (ii) in the event any assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy a claim of any Secured Party, the Canadian
Borrowers shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book
value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.
(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to paragraph (c)
below) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor under the
Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or assets of any other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold
pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy a claim of any Secured Party and such other Subsidiary
Guarantor (the “Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the
Canadian Borrowers as provided in paragraph (a) above, the Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor shall
indemnify the Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the
greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing
Subsidiary Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all
the Subsidiary Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming
a party hereto pursuant to Section 21, the date of the Supplement hereto executed and delivered by
such Subsidiary Guarantor). Any Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming
Subsidiary
Exhibit G-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 4
Guarantor pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming
Subsidiary Guarantor under paragraph (a) above to the extent of such payment.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the
Subsidiary Guarantors under paragraphs (a) and (b) above and all other rights of indemnity,
contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Canadian
Borrowers or any Subsidiary Guarantor to make the payments required by paragraphs (a) and (b) above
(or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder,
and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of its obligations hereunder.
In addition, any indebtedness of the Canadian Borrowers now or hereafter held by any Subsidiary
Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the
Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of (i)
any subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such
indebtedness of the Canadian Borrowers while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be
paid to the Canadian Collateral Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 9. Information. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors assumes all responsibility for
being and keeping itself informed of the Canadian Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of
all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature,
scope and extent of the risks that such Subsidiary Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and
agrees that none of the Canadian Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty
to advise any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such
circumstances or risks.
SECTION 10. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors represents and
warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it contained in the
Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent such
representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date. Each Subsidiary Guarantor has
determined that its guarantee hereunder is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and
attainment of the business of such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Canadian Borrowers.
SECTION 11. Termination. The Guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the
Obligations (other than wholly contingent indemnification obligations) then due and owing have been
indefeasibly paid in full and the Canadian Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the
Credit Agreement, the Canadian L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have no
further obligation to issue Canadian Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part
thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any
Subsidiary Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Canadian Borrowers, any
Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise.
Exhibit G-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 5
SECTION 12. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any
of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and
assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Subsidiary
Guarantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party
hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to
any Subsidiary Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor
shall have been delivered to the Canadian Collateral Agent, and a counterpart hereof shall have
been executed on behalf of the Canadian Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such
Subsidiary Guarantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns,
and shall inure to the benefit of such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Subsidiary
Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein
(and any such attempted assignment shall be void). If all of the issued and outstanding shares of
a Subsidiary Guarantor are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction
permitted by Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from
its obligations under this Agreement without further action. This Agreement shall be construed as
a separate agreement with respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor and may be amended, modified,
supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor without the approval of
any other Subsidiary Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 13. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Canadian Collateral Agent in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder and
of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to
which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Canadian Collateral Agent, with the
prior written consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Credit
Agreement).
SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA.
Exhibit G-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 6
SECTION 15. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given
as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to
each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Canadian Parent.
SECTION 16. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Subsidiary Guarantors herein and in the certificates or
other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Canadian Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Canadian Lenders of the Canadian
Loans and the issuance of the Canadian Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks regardless of any
investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Canadian Loan or any other fee or
amount payable under this Agreement or any other Canadian Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid
or the Canadian L/C Exposure does not equal zero and as long as the Canadian Commitments and the
commitment of the Issuing Banks to issue Canadian Letters of Credit have not been terminated.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect
of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 12. Delivery of an executed signature
page to this Agreement by fax transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 18. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02
of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
and determined in Alberta or Ontario. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect any right that the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the
Exhibit G-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 7
other Loan Documents against any Subsidiary Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any

laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents in any Alberta or Ontario court. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner

PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE,
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 20.
SECTION 21. Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit
Agreement, each Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary of the Canadian Parent that was not a
Material Subsidiary on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Agreement as
a Subsidiary Guarantor. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Canadian
Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1, such Subsidiary shall
become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a
Subsidiary Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional
Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Guarantor
as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 22. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured
Party to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary Guarantor against any or all the
obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement
Exhibit G-2 — Form of Amended and Restated Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement
Page 8
and the other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such
Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 22
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured
Party may have.
(a) SECTION 23. Fraudulent Transfer Laws. Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement on any
date shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not, on
such date, render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any applicable
provisions of comparable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization, or relief of
debtors.
SECTION 24. Amendment and Restatement. The Subsidiary Guarantors and the Canadian Collateral
Agent have agreed that this Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Canadian
Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement in its entirety and the terms and provisions hereof supersede the
terms and provisions thereof, and this Agreement is not a new or substitute agreement or novation
of the Existing Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement.

EXHIBIT G-3
[Form of]
AMENDED AND RESTATED
U.S. BORROWER GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
AMENDED AND RESTATED U.S. BORROWER GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of December 10, 2010, (this
“Agreement”) between OIL STATES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), and
ROYAL BANK OF CANADA (“RBC”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Canadian Collateral
Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Canadian Security Agreement).
Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among
the U.S. Borrower, PTI Group Inc. (the “Canadian Parent”), PTI Premium Camp Services Ltd. (“PTI
Premium” and, together with the Canadian Parent, the “Canadian Borrowers” and, together
with the U.S. Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto
(the “Lenders”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity,
the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders and U.S. Collateral Agent, and Royal Bank of Canada, as
administrative agent and Canadian Collateral Agent for the Canadian Lenders. Capitalized terms
used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit
Agreement.
The Guarantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent are parties to that certain U.S. Borrower
Guarantee Agreement dated as of October 30, 2003 (as heretofore amended, restated and otherwise
modified, the “Existing U.S. Borrower Guarantee Agreement”).
The Canadian Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Canadian Borrowers, and the Issuing Bank
has agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the accounts of the Canadian Borrowers, pursuant to, and
upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. The Canadian
Borrowers are wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Guarantor, and the Guarantor acknowledges that it
will derive substantial benefit from the making of Loans by the Canadian Lenders to the Canadian
Borrowers, and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks for the accounts of the
Canadian Borrowers. The obligations of the Canadian Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks
to issue Letters of Credit for the accounts of the Canadian Borrowers are conditioned upon, among
other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantor of a U.S. Borrower Guarantee Agreement in
the form hereof. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Canadian Lenders to make
Loans to the Canadian Borrowers and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit for the accounts
of the Canadian Borrowers, the Guarantor is willing to execute this Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties hereto (a) agree that the Existing U.S. Borrower Guarantee Agreement
is amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and (b) further agree as follows:
Exhibit G-3 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Borrower Guarantee Agreement
Page 1
SECTION 1. Guarantee. The Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary
obligor and not merely as a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment by the Canadian Borrowers of
(i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the
pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of
whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers, when
and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or
otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by the Canadian Borrowers under the Credit
Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of
reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral, and
(iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether
primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred
during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding,
regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Canadian Borrowers to the
Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual
performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Canadian Borrowers
under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the due and punctual
payment and performance of all the covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of each other
Loan Party under or pursuant to the Loan Documents, (d) the due and punctual payment and
performance of all obligations of the Canadian Borrowers, monetary or otherwise, under each Hedging
Agreement entered into with any counterparty that was a Lender (or an affiliate of a Lender) at the
time such Hedging Agreement was entered into and (e) the due and punctual performance of all
Banking Services Obligations provided to the Canadian Borrowers or any Subsidiary by any Lender or
any Affiliate of a Lender (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding
lettered clauses of this paragraph being referred to collectively as the “Obligations”).
SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Canadian Borrowers of
any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest
for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Canadian Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy
against the Canadian Borrowers under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release
from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or
any other agreement or (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any
of the security held by or on behalf of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.
SECTION 3. Security. The Guarantor authorizes the Canadian Collateral Agent and each of the
other Secured Parties to (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Agreement and the
Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and
direct the order or manner of sale thereof as it in its sole discretion may determine and (c)
release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other guarantors or other obligors.
SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment. The Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee constitutes
a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to
Exhibit G-3 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Borrower Guarantee Agreement
Page 2
require that any resort be had by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to
any of the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or
credit on the books of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the
Canadian Borrowers or any other person.
SECTION 5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any
reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any
claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall
not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by
reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any
provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the
Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary
the risk of the Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a
matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the
Obligations).
SECTION 6. Defenses of Canadian Borrowers Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the
Canadian Borrowers or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause,
or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Canadian Borrowers, other than the final
and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The Canadian Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them
by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of
foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with
the Canadian Borrowers or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to
them against the Canadian Borrowers or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any
way the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully,
finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, the Guarantor waives any
defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable
law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy
of the Guarantor against the Canadian Borrowers or any other guarantor, as the case may be, or any
security. There are no conditions precedent to the enforcement of this Agreement, except as
expressly contained herein. It shall not be necessary for the Canadian Collateral Agent or the
other Secured Parties, in order to enforce payment by the Guarantor under this Agreement, to show
any proof of a Borrower’s default, to exhaust the Canadian Collateral Agent or the other Secured
Parties’ remedies against the Borrowers, any other guarantor, or any other Person liable for the
payment or performance of the Obligations or to enforce any other means of obtaining payment or
performance of the Obligations. The Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall
not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect, or enforce the
Obligations.
Exhibit G-3 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Borrower Guarantee Agreement
Page 3
SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right that the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at
law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Canadian Borrowers
or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Guarantor hereby promises
to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Canadian Collateral Agent or such other
Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations. Upon payment by
the Guarantor of any sums to the Canadian Collateral Agent or any Secured Party as provided above,
all rights of the Guarantor against the Canadian Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of
right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all
the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of the Canadian Borrowers now or hereafter held by
the Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the
Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to the Guarantor on account of (i) such
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness
of the Canadian Borrowers while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such amount
shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the
Canadian Collateral Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 8. Information. The Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself
informed of the Canadian Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances
bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the
risks that the Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Canadian
Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise the Guarantor of
information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants that all
representations and warranties relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement are true and
correct in all material respects, except to the extent such representations and warranties
expressly relate to an earlier date. The Guarantor has determined that its guarantee hereunder is
necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of the business of the Guarantor
and the Canadian Borrowers.
SECTION 10. Termination. The guarantee made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Canadian Lenders have no further commitment
to lend under the Credit Agreement, the Canadian L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero and the
Canadian Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit
Agreement and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by
any Secured Party or the Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Canadian Borrowers,
the Guarantor or otherwise.
SECTION 11. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of
the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and
assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf
Exhibit G-3 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Borrower Guarantee Agreement
Page 4
of the Guarantor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become
effective when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the Guarantor shall have been delivered
to the Canadian Collateral Agent, and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of
the Canadian Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon the Guarantor and the Canadian
Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Guarantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Guarantor shall not have the right to assign its rights or
obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be void).
SECTION 12. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Canadian Collateral Agent in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder and
of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand
on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Guarantor and the Canadian Collateral
Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the
Credit Agreement).
SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 14. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given
as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 15. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Guarantor herein and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Canadian Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of
the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks regardless of any investigation made by the Secured
Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of
or any accrued interest on any Loan or any other fee or amount payable under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or the Aggregate L/C Exposure does not equal zero and
as long as the Commitments and the commitment of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit have
not been terminated.

Page 5
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other
Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect
of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract,
and shall become effective as provided in Section 11. Delivery of an executed signature page to
this Agreement by fax transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 17. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02 of
the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.
SECTION 18. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Guarantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting
in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.
Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Canadian
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Guarantor or its properties in
the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION

Exhibit G-3 — Form of Amended and Restated U.S. Borrower Guarantee Agreement
Page 6
OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE,
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19.

each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured
Party to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any or all the obligations of
the Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by
such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.
The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 20 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.
(a) Fraudulent Transfer Laws. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement on any date shall be limited
to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not, on such date, render its
obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548
of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any applicable provisions of comparable laws
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization, or relief of debtors.
SECTION 21. Amendment and Restatement. The Guarantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent have
agreed that this Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing U.S. Borrower Guarantee

AMENDED AND RESTATED PTI HOLDCO SUB GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
AMENDED AND RESTATED PTI HOLDCO SUB GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of December 10, 2010 (the
“Agreement”), between 000000 XXXXXXX INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
Alberta (the “Guarantor”), and ROYAL BANK OF CANADA (“RBC”), a bank organized under the laws of
Canada, as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Canadian Collateral Agent”) for the Secured
Parties (as defined in the Amended and Restated Canadian Security Agreement).
Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among
the U.S. Borrower, PTI Group Inc. (the “Canadian Parent”), PTI Premium Camp Services Ltd. (“PTI
Premium” and, together with the Canadian Parent, the “Canadian Borrowers” and, together
with the U.S. Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto
(the “Lenders”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity,
the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders and U.S Collateral Agent, and Royal Bank of Canada
(“RBC”), as administrative agent and Canadian Collateral Agent for the Canadian Lenders.
Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms
in the Credit Agreement.
The Guarantor and The Bank of Nova Scotia, in its capacity as the former Canadian collateral
agent, are parties to that certain PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement dated as of October 30, 2003
(as heretofore amended, restated and otherwise modified, the “Existing PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee
Agreement”).
The Canadian Lenders have agreed to make Canadian Loans to the Canadian Borrowers, and the
Issuing Bank has agreed to issue Canadian Letters of Credit for the accounts of the Canadian
Borrowers, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit
Agreement. The Canadian Borrowers are wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Guarantor, and the
Guarantor acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the making of Canadian Loans by
the Canadian Lenders to the Canadian Borrowers, and the issuance of Canadian Letters of Credit by
the Issuing Banks for the accounts of the Canadian Borrowers. The obligations of the Canadian
Lenders to make Canadian Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Canadian Letters of Credit for the
accounts of the Canadian Borrowers are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and
delivery by the Guarantor of a PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement in the form hereof. As
consideration therefor and in order to induce the Canadian Lenders to make Canadian Loans to the
Canadian Borrowers and the Issuing Banks to issue Canadian Letters of Credit for the accounts of
the Canadian Borrowers, the Guarantor is willing to execute this Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties hereto (a) agree that the Existing PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement
is amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and (b) further agree as follows:
Exhibit G-4 — Form of Amended and Restated PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement
Page 1
SECTION 1. Guarantee. The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not
merely as a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment by the Canadian Borrowers of (i) the principal
of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or
allowable in such proceeding) on the Canadian Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers, when and as
due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise,
(ii) each payment required to be made by the Canadian Borrowers under the Credit Agreement in
respect of any Canadian Letter of Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of
reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral, and
(iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether
primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred
during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding,
regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Canadian Borrowers to the
Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual
performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Canadian Borrowers
under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (c) the due and punctual
payment and performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of each Canadian
Loan Party under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the due and
punctual payment and performance of all obligations of the Canadian Borrowers, monetary or
otherwise, under each Hedging Agreement entered into with any counterparty that was a Canadian
Lender (or an affiliate of a Canadian Lender) at the time such Hedging Agreement was entered into
and (e) the due and punctual performance of all Banking Services Obligations provided to the
Canadian Borrowers or any Subsidiary by any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender (all the monetary
and other obligations referred to in the preceding lettered clauses of this paragraph being
referred to collectively as the “Obligations”).
SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Canadian Borrowers of
any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest
for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Canadian Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy
against the Canadian Borrowers under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release
from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or
any other agreement or (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any
of the security held by or on behalf of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.
SECTION 3. Security. The Guarantor authorizes the Canadian Collateral Agent and each of the
other Secured Parties to (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Guarantee and the
Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and
direct the order or manner of sale thereof as it in its sole discretion may determine and (c)
release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other guarantors or other obligors.
Exhibit G-4 — Form of Amended and Restated PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement
Page 2
SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment. The Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee constitutes
a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any
resort be had by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the security
held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books
of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Canadian Borrowers or
any other person.
SECTION 5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any
reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any
claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall
not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by
reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any
provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the
Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary
the risk of the Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a
matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the
Obligations).
SECTION 6. Defenses of Canadian Borrowers Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the
Canadian Borrowers or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause,
or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Canadian Borrowers, other than the final
and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The Canadian Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them
by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of
foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with
the Canadian Borrowers or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to
them against the Canadian Borrowers or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any
way the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully,
finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, the Guarantor waives any
defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable
law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy
of the Guarantor against the Canadian Borrowers or any other guarantor, as the case may be, or any
security.
SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right that the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at
law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Canadian Borrowers
or any other Canadian Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the
Exhibit G-4 — Form of Amended and Restated PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement
Page 3
Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Canadian
Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such
unpaid Obligations. Upon payment by the Guarantor of any sums to the Canadian Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party as provided above, all rights of the Guarantor against the Canadian Borrower
arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity
or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of the
Canadian Borrowers now or hereafter held by the Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid
to the Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or
similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of the Canadian Borrowers while an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Canadian Collateral Agent to be credited against the
payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents.
SECTION 8. Information. The Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of the Canadian Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and
extent of the risks that the Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the
Canadian Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise the Guarantor
of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants that all
representations and warranties relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement are true and
correct in all material respects. The Guarantor has determined that its guarantee hereunder is
necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of the business of the Guarantor
and the Canadian Borrowers.
SECTION 10. Termination. The Guarantee made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Canadian Lenders have no further commitment
to lend under the Credit Agreement, the Canadian L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero and the
Issuing Banks have no further obligation to issue Canadian Letters of Credit under the Credit
Agreement and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by
any Secured Party or the Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Canadian Borrowers,
the Guarantor or otherwise.
SECTION 11. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any
of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and
assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantor
that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective when a counterpart
hereof executed on behalf of the Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Canadian Collateral
Agent, and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Canadian Collateral
Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon the Guarantor and the Canadian
Exhibit G-4 — Form of Amended and Restated PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement
Page 4
Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Guarantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Guarantor shall not have the right to assign its rights or
obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be void).
SECTION 12. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Canadian Collateral Agent in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder and
of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand
on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Guarantor and the Canadian Collateral
Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the
Credit Agreement).
SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA.
SECTION 14. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given
as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 15. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Guarantor herein and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Canadian Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Canadian Lenders of the Canadian Loans
and the issuance of the Canadian Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks regardless of any
investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Canadian Loan or any other fee or
amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or the
Canadian L/C Exposure does not equal zero and as long as the Canadian Commitments and the
commitment of the Issuing Banks to issue Canadian Letters of Credit have not been terminated.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in
Exhibit G-4 — Form of Amended and Restated PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement
Page 5
any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect
of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 11. Delivery of an executed signature
page to this Agreement by fax transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 17. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02
of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.
SECTION 18. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Guarantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any Alberta or Ontario court, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
and determined in such Alberta or Ontario court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents against the Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents in any Alberta or Ontario court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
Exhibit G-4 — Form of Amended and Restated PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement
Page 6
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER
AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19.
SECTION 20. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured
Party to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any or all the obligations of
the Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by
such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.
The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 20 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.
(b) SECTION 21. Fraudulent Transfer Laws. Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement on any date shall
be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not, on such date,
render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any applicable provisions of comparable
laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization, or relief of debtors.
SECTION 22. Amendment and Restatement. The Guarantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent have
agreed that this Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee
Agreement in its entirety and the terms and provisions hereof supersede the terms and provisions
thereof, and this Agreement is not a new or substitute agreement or novation of the Existing PTI
Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement.

|
Recovery of irrecoverable moneys |
8.1 |
|
Survival of obligation to pay |
|
(a) |
|
a Canadian Borrower is, becomes, or is held or found not to be bound or no
longer to be bound by the provisions of a Loan Document to which it is a party; or |
Exhibit G-5 — Form of Australian Guarantee
Page 12
|
(b) |
|
liabilities of a Canadian Borrower under a Loan Document to which it is a party
or any other obligation of that Canadian Borrower whatsoever, is or are abrogated,
suspended, reduced, diminished, disclaimed or modified in any way, |
|
|
whether by operation of law (including but not limited to incapacity, disability, voidness,
unenforceability, illegality or any invalidating cause whatsoever under any law) or for any
other reason whatsoever. |
8.2 |
|
Recovery of irrecoverable Moneys |
|
|
If this clause 8.2 applies, the Guarantors: |
|
(a) |
|
as a separate, independent and additional liability under this Deed, agree to
indemnify and keep indemnified the Collateral Agent in respect of all Claims and Costs
which the Collateral Agent or other Canadian Secured Parties may suffer or incur by
reason of or in respect of all claims caused or contributed to by the irrecoverability
of that part of the Secured Moneys; and |
|
(b) |
|
as principal debtors, agree to pay to the Collateral Agent on demand in writing
made from time to time and at any time a sum equal to the amount of such of the Secured
Moneys owed by the Canadian Borrowers which are so irrecoverable and the terms of this
Deed shall, mutatis mutandis, apply as far as possible as if the sums of money covered
by this indemnity were defined in this Deed to be part of the Secured Moneys. |
|
|
If any payment that has been made to a Canadian Secured Party by or on behalf of any Obligor
is subsequently avoided by reason of or pursuant to any law or otherwise, then: |
|
(a) |
|
the payment shall be deemed not to have discharged or affected the liability of
the Guarantors under this Deed; and |
|
(b) |
|
that Canadian Secured Party and each Obligor shall be restored to the position
each would have been in and that Canadian Secured Party shall be entitled to exercise
all the powers, rights and remedies which that Canadian Secured Party would have had if
the payment had not been made. |

|
Guarantor’s representations and warranties |
9.1 |
|
Representations and warranties |
|
|
Each Guarantor represents and warrants that as at the date of this Deed: |
|
(a) |
|
all the representations and warranties relating to it in the Credit Agreement
are true and correct in all material respects (provided that to the extent any
representation and warranty is qualified as to “Material Adverse Effect” or otherwise
as to “materiality”, such representation and warranty is true and correct in all
respects); |
|
(b) |
|
it has the power to enter into this Deed and has taken all necessary action to
authorise the execution, deliver and performance of this Deed; |
Exhibit G-5 — Form of Australian Guarantee
Page 13
|
(c) |
|
this Deed constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Guarantors
enforceable in accordance with its terms; and |
|
(d) |
|
the execution, delivery and performance of this Deed will not violate any
provision of: |
|
(i) |
|
any law or regulation or any order or decree of any
Governmental Agency of the Commonwealth of Australia or any state or territory;
and |
|
(ii) |
|
except in respect of a Loan Document, any security agreement,
deed, contract, undertaking or other instrument to which the Guarantors are a
party or which is binding on the Guarantors and does not and will not result in
the creation or imposition of any security over any of its assets pursuant to
the provision of any such security agreement, deed, contract, undertaking or
other instrument. |
|
|
The Guarantors acknowledge that in continuing to provide financial accommodation pursuant to
a Loan Document the relevant Canadian Secured Party has relied on the representations and
warranties (including but not limited to those in clauses 9.1) given by the Guarantors in
this Deed. |
10 |
|
No rights of subrogation |
|
|
Until the Canadian Secured Parties have been irrevocably paid and have unconditionally
received all the Secured Moneys owing to the Canadian Secured Parties and each Obligor has
complied with all the provisions and obligations under each Loan Document to be performed
and observed by that Obligor, the Guarantors shall not be entitled on any ground whatsoever
to: |
|
(a) |
|
assert any right of contribution or to be subrogated in respect of any moneys
paid to the Canadian Secured Parties; or |
|
(b) |
|
to marshal or claim the benefit of any Lien held by the Canadian Secured
Parties; and |
|
(c) |
|
in the event of the administration of the affairs of a Canadian Borrower,
either directly or indirectly to receive the benefit of any dividend or payment
resulting from that administration without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent or to lodge any proof or to make any claim in respect thereof in competition with
the Canadian Secured Parties so as to diminish any amount that but for such dividend
payment proof or claim, the Canadian Secured Parties would be entitled to receive. The
receipt by the Canadian Secured Parties of any dividend or other payment in any such
circumstances shall not prejudice the right of the Collateral Agent to recover from the
Guarantors so much of the Secured Moneys as have not been paid to the Collateral Agent. |
Exhibit G-5 — Form of Australian Guarantee
Page 14
|
|
The Guarantors authorise any Canadian Secured Party to prove in the dissolution of any
person for all moneys which the Guarantors shall have paid under this Deed and to retain and
to carry into a suspense account and to appropriate at the discretion of the Canadian
Secured Parties any dividends received in the dissolution of any such person and all other
moneys received in respect of the Secured Moneys (including, without limitation, received
under this Deed) until the Canadian Secured Parties have been paid in full in respect of the
Secured Moneys. |

which may materially affect a Guarantors’ ability to perform any of its obligations

|
|

or other securities or instruments, whether negotiable or otherwise, held by a Canadian

OPINION OF XXXXXX & XXXXXX L.L.P.
December 10, 2010
Each of the Addressees Listed in
the Attached Schedule I
Re: $1,050,000,000 Credit Facility
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Oil States International, Inc., a corporation organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware (the “U.S. Borrower”), in connection with certain aspects of
the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December
10, 2010 (the “Agreement”), among the U.S. Borrower, PTI Group, Inc., a corporation
amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Alberta (the “Canadian Parent”), PTI Premium
Camp Services Ltd., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Alberta (“PTI
Premium” and collectively with the Canadian Parent, the “Canadian Borrowers”), the
lenders party thereto, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative
Agent”) and as U.S. collateral agent (the “U.S. Collateral Agent”), and Royal Bank of
Canada, as Canadian administrative agent (the “Canadian Administrative Agent”) and as
Canadian collateral agent (the “Canadian Collateral Agent”). This opinion letter is
furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(iii) of the Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in
the body of this opinion letter, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the Agreement. Other terms that are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in the State of New York (the “NY UCC”) have the same meaning when used herein
unless otherwise indicated by the context in which such terms are so used.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have reviewed an execution copy of the following
documents and instruments:
(i) the Agreement;
(ii) each U.S. Revolving Note, dated as of December 10, 2010 by the U.S. Borrower in
favor of a U.S. Lender;
(iii) each U.S. Term Note, dated as of December 10, 2010 by the U.S. Borrower in favor
of a U.S. Lender;
Exhibit H-1 — Form of Opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P.
Page 1
(iv) the Amended and Restated U.S. Pledge Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2010 (the
“U.S. Pledge Agreement”), among the U.S. Borrower, the Subsidiary Pledgors party
thereto and the U.S. Collateral Agent;
(v) the Amended and Restated U.S. Security Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2010
(the “U.S. Security Agreement”), among the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Subsidiary
Guarantors party thereto and the U.S. Collateral Agent;
(vi) the Amended and Restated U.S. Borrower Guarantee Agreement, dated as of December
10, 2010 (the “U.S. Borrower Guarantee Agreement”), among the U.S. Borrower and the
Canadian Collateral Agent;
(vii) the Amended and Restated U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, dated as of
December 10, 2010 (the “U.S. Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement”), among the U.S.
Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto and the U.S. Collateral Agent;
(viii) each of the agreements listed on Schedule II hereto (“Applicable
Contracts”);
(ix) the Designated Companies’ constitutive documents listed on Schedule III hereto
(the “Organizational Documents”); and
(x) unfiled copies of the UCC-1 Financing Statements listed on Schedule IV hereto (the
“UCC Financing Statements”).
The documents listed in clause (i) through (vii) above are referred to herein as the
“Opinion Documents”. Additionally, in rendering the opinions set forth below, we have
reviewed such other records, certificates and documents as we have deemed appropriate for the
purposes of such opinions. As to any facts material to our opinion, we have made no independent
investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon
statements of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Designated Companies
and on the representations and warranties relating to factual matters set forth in the Opinion
Documents. As used herein, the term “Designated Subsidiary” means, collectively, the
entities referred to on Schedule V hereto. As used herein, the term “Designated Companies”
means, collectively, the U.S. Borrower and the Designated Subsidiaries.
In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural
persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as
copies, which assumptions we have not independently verified. In addition, with your permission
and without independent investigation, we have made the following assumptions:
(i) Each party to the Opinion Documents other than the Designated Companies (each such
party a “Transaction Party”) is a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization;
Exhibit H-1 — Form of Opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P.
Page 2
(ii) Each Transaction Party has full power and authority (corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
under the Opinion Documents to which it is a party;
(iii) Each Opinion Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Transaction
Party that is a party thereto;
(iv) The execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party of the Opinion
Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary entity action
(corporate, partnership, limited liability company or otherwise) and do not contravene the
constituent documents of such Transaction Party;
(v) The execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party and the
Designated Companies of the Opinion Documents to which it is a party do not result in the
breach of any document or instrument binding on it, except that we have not made such
assumption with respect to (a) the Organizational Documents, as to which we express our
opinion in paragraph 5(a) below, and (b) the Applicable Contracts, as to which we express
our opinion in paragraph 5(c) below;
(vi) The execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party and each
Designated Company of the Opinion Documents to which it is a party do not contravene any
provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, validation, writ, judgment, injunction,
decree, determination or award applicable to any of them, except that we have not made such
assumption with respect to Applicable Laws (as defined in paragraph 5 below) and Applicable
Orders (as defined in paragraph 5 below), in each case applicable to Designated Companies
and the Canadian Borrowers, as to which we express our opinion in paragraphs 5(b) and 5(d)
below;
(vii) No authorization, approval, consent, order, validation, license, franchise,
permit or other action by, and no notice to or filing, recording or registration with, any
Governmental Authority or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery
and performance by each Transaction Party and each Designated Company of the Opinion
Documents to which it is a party that has not been duly obtained or made and that is not in
full force and effect, except that we have not made such assumption with respect to
Governmental Approvals (as defined in paragraph 6 below) required to be obtained or taken by
any Designated Company or any Canadian Borrower as to which we express our opinion in
paragraph 6 below;
(viii) The Opinion Documents constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations
of each party thereto (other than each Designated Company and each Canadian Borrower); and
(ix) The laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws that are the subject of this
opinion letter do not affect the terms of the Opinion Documents or the opinion rendered
herein.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and
limitations set forth herein, it is our opinion that:

the part of such Delaware Corporation. |
|
|
|
(b) Each Delaware Limited Liability Company has the limited liability company power and
authority to execute and deliver each Opinion Document to which it is a party and to

Each Opinion Document to which each Designated Company is a party has been duly
executed and delivered by such Designated Company. |
|
4. |
|
Each Opinion Document to which a Designated Company or a Canadian Borrower is a
party constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Designated Company or
Canadian Borrower enforceable against such Designated Company or Canadian Borrower in
accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of New York. |
|
5. |
|
The execution and delivery by each Designated Company and each Canadian
Borrower of each Opinion Document to which it is a party do not, and the performance by
such Designated Company and such Canadian Borrower of its obligations thereunder will
not: (a) with respect to any Designated Company, violate such Designated Company’s
Organizational Documents; (b) result in any violation by the Designated Company or any
Canadian Borrower of any Applicable Law (as defined below); (c) breach or result in a

|
|
“Applicable Laws” means those laws of the State of New York and the United States of
America and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder that, in our experience, are
normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Opinion Documents.
Furthermore, the term “Applicable Laws” does not include, and we express no opinion with
regard to (a) any state or federal laws, rules or regulations relating to: (i) pollution or
protection of the environment; (ii) zoning, land use, building or construction; (iii)
occupational, safety and health or other similar matters; (iv) labor and employee rights and
benefits, including, without limitation, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended; (v) the regulation of utilities, including without limitation, the Federal
Power Act, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 and the Public Utility Regulatory

(b) any laws, rules or regulations of any county, municipality or similar political
subdivision or any agency or instrumentality thereof. |
|
6. |
|
No Governmental Approval (as defined below) that has not been obtained or taken
and is not in full force and effect, is required to be obtained or taken by any
Designated Company or any Canadian Borrower to authorize, or is required in connection
with, the execution and delivery by such Designated Company or any Canadian Borrower of
each Opinion Document to which it is a party or the performance by such Designated
Company or any Canadian Borrower of its obligations thereunder except: (a) the filing
of the UCC Financing Statements in the filing offices set forth in paragraph 8 below;
and (b) Governmental Approvals not required to consummate the transactions occurring on
the date hereof but required to be obtained or made after the date of this opinion
letter to enable each Designated Company or each Canadian Borrower to comply with
requirements of Applicable Law including those required to maintain existence and good
standing of such Designated Company or such Canadian Borrower. |
|
|
|
“Governmental Approvals” means any consent, approval, license or authorization of,
or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority pursuant to any
Applicable Laws (as defined in paragraph 5 above). |
|
7. |
|
The provisions of the U.S. Security Agreement and the U.S. Pledge Agreement are
effective to create in favor of the U.S. Collateral Agent to secure the Obligations (as
defined therein), a valid security interest in all of the applicable Designated
Company’s right, title and interest in and to that portion of the Collateral (as
defined therein) in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the NY
UCC without giving effect to the laws referred to in Section 9-201 thereof (the
“Article 9 Collateral”). |
|
8. |
|
To the extent that the filing of a financing statement can be effective to
perfect a security interest in the Article 9 Collateral under the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware UCC”), or the Uniform
Commercial |
Exhibit H-1
— Form of Opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P.
Page 5
|
|
|
Code as in effect in the State of Texas (the “Texas UCC”), the security interest
in favor of the U.S. Collateral Agent in that portion of the Article 9 Collateral
described in the UCC Financing Statements will be perfected upon the proper filing of
the UCC Financing Statements in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware (with respect to the Delaware Corporations and the Delaware Limited Liability
Companies) and the Secretary of State of the State of Texas (with respect to the Texas
Corporations). For purposes of our opinion set forth in this paragraph 8 as to the
Delaware UCC, we have based such opinion solely on our review of the generally available
compilations of Article 9 of the Delaware UCC as in effect on the date hereof and we
have not reviewed any other laws of the State of Delaware in connection with such
opinion or retained or relied on any opinion or advice of Delaware counsel. |
|
9. |
|
With respect to that portion of the Article 9 Collateral consisting of the
Certificated Securities described on Schedule VII hereto, upon the U.S. Collateral
Agent taking possession in the State of New York of the certificates evidencing such
Certificated Securities which are accompanied by undated stock powers with respect
thereto duly indorsed in blank by an effective endorsement, the security interest of
the U.S. Collateral Agent therein is perfected by “control” (within the meaning of
Section 8-106 of the NY UCC). |
|
10. |
|
No Designated Company is an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. |
|
11. |
|
We call your attention to the fact that the Opinion Documents select the
internal laws of the State of New York as the governing law except, with respect to the
U.S. Security Agreement and U.S. Pledge Agreement, where the laws of another
jurisdiction govern perfection and the effect of perfection or non-perfection. It is
our opinion that a federal or state court sitting in the State of New York should honor
the parties’ choice of the internal laws of the State of New York as the law applicable
to the Opinion Documents (to the extent set forth in such Opinion Documents). |
|
12. |
|
Assuming that the Designated Companies and the Canadian Borrowers will comply
with the provisions of the Agreement relating to the use of proceeds, the execution and
delivery of the Agreement by the Designated Companies and the Canadian Borrowers and
the making of the Loans thereunder and the application of the proceeds thereof does not
violate Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. |
In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have also assumed, with your permission, and without
independent investigation on our part, the following:
A. With respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs 7 through 9 above, we have assumed
that each Designated Company has, or has the power to transfer, rights in the properties in which
it is purporting to grant a security interest sufficient for attachment of such security interest
within the meaning of Section 9-203 of the NY UCC and the Delaware UCC and Section 9.203 of the
Texas UCC.
Exhibit H-1
— Form of Opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P.
Page 6
B. With respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs 7 through 9 above, we have assumed
that the U.S. Collateral Agent has acquired its interests in the Article 9 Collateral for value
within the meaning of Section 9-203 of the NY UCC and the Delaware UCC and Section 9.203 of the
Texas UCC.
C. With respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs 7 through 9 above, we have assumed the
descriptions of collateral contained in or attached as schedules to, the U.S. Security Agreement,
the U.S. Pledge Agreement and the UCC Financing Statements sufficiently describe (for the purposes
of the attachment and perfection of security interests) the collateral intended to be covered
thereby.
D. With respect to our opinion set forth in paragraph 8 above, we have relied on the
Designated Company’s Organizational Documents as the basis for determining that (i) the correct
legal name of the U.S. Borrower is Oil States International, Inc; (ii) the correct legal name of
each Designated Subsidiary is as set forth on Schedule V hereto; (iii) the correct organizational
identification number of each Designated Company is as set forth on the Financing Statements; (iv)
each Delaware Corporation and each Delaware Limited Liability Company is solely organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware; and (v) each Texas Corporation is solely organized under the laws of
the State of Texas.
E. With respect to our opinions set forth in paragraph 9 above, we have assumed that the
certificates evidencing the Certificated Securities will at all times be held by the U.S.
Collateral Agent in the State of New York.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and exceptions:
(a) The opinions in paragraphs 1 through 3 above, to the extent they relate to the Delaware
Corporations and Delaware Limited Liability Companies, are limited in all respects to the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware General Corporation Law”), and the
Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware LLC Act” and,
together with the Delaware General Corporation law, the “Delaware Entity Statutes”). The
opinions in paragraph 1 above to the extent they relate to the existence and good standing of the
Designated Companies in the State of Delaware are based solely on the Good Standing Certificate as
to such Designated Companies, dated on or about December 3, 2010, issued by the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware. The opinions in paragraph 1 above to the extent they relate to the
existence and good standing of such Designated Companies in the State of Texas are based solely on
the Certificate of Account Status as to such Designated Companies, dated on or about December 2,
2010, issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and the Certificate of Fact as to such
Designated Companies, dated December 2, 2010, issued by the Secretary of State of the State of
Texas. Our opinions contained herein to the extent they relate to matters regarding the Delaware
Entity Statutes are based on our review of the Delaware Entity Statutes. We have not reviewed any
other laws of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware UCC and the Delaware Entity Statutes),
including, without limitation, any interpretations of such statutes, or retained or relied on any
opinion or advice of Delaware counsel.
(b) The enforceability of each Opinion Document and the provisions thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other laws
Exhibit H-1
— Form of Opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P.
Page 7
now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
and by general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality,
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless of whether such enforcement is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(c) With respect to our opinion set forth in paragraph 4, we express no opinion with respect
to the validity or enforceability of the following provisions to the extent that they are contained
in the Opinion Documents: (i) provisions purporting to release, exculpate, hold harmless, or
exempt any person or entity from, or to require indemnification or contribution of or by any person
or entity for, liability for any matter to the extent that the same are inconsistent with
applicable law (including case law) or with public policy; (ii) provisions purporting to waive,
subordinate or not give effect to rights to notice, demands, legal defenses or other rights or
benefits that cannot be waived, subordinated or rendered ineffective under applicable law; (iii)
provisions purporting to provide remedies inconsistent with applicable law; (iv) provisions
purporting to render void and of no effect any transfers of any Designated Company’s and Canadian
Borrower’s rights in any collateral in violation of the terms of the Opinion Documents; (v) other
than with respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs 7 through 9 above, provisions relating to
the creation, attachment, perfection or enforceability of any security interest; (vi) provisions
relating to powers of attorney, severability or set-offs; (vii) provisions stating that a guarantee
will not be affected by a modification of the obligation guaranteed in cases in which that
modification materially changes the nature or amount of such obligation; (viii) provisions that
limit the obligation of a guarantor, co-borrower or co-obligor (or provide for any rights of
contribution as against another guarantor or co-borrower or co-obligor or any other party) based
upon the potential unenforceability, invalidity, or voidability of a guarantee or joint obligation
under any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state or federal fraudulent transfer
or fraudulent conveyance laws; (ix) provisions restricting access to courts or purporting to affect
the jurisdiction or venue of courts (other than the courts of the State of New York with respect to
Opinion Documents governed by the laws of the State of New York); (x) provisions setting out
methods for service of process; (xi) provisions purporting to exclude all conflicts of law rules;
(xii) provisions pursuant to which a party agrees that a judgment rendered by a court or other
tribunal in one jurisdiction may be enforced in any other jurisdiction; (xiii) provisions providing
that decisions by a party are conclusive or may be made in its sole discretion; (xiv) provisions
providing for liquidated damages or any “make whole”, “yield maintenance”, or “premium amount” to
the extent that they may be deemed a penalty; (xv) provisions that require any Designated Company
to indemnify any other party to such Opinion Document against loss in obtaining the currency due
under such Opinion Document from a court judgment in another currency; or (xvi) provisions
providing for voting of claims in bankruptcy. Additionally, with respect to our opinion set forth
in paragraph 4 above, such opinion is subject to possible judicial action giving effect to
governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights. Our opinions are based solely on
our reading of the Opinion Documents. We note that enforceability of the Opinion Documents may be
affected by the parties course of dealing, or by waivers, modifications or amendments (whether made
in writing, orally, or by course of conduct), and we express no opinion on the effect of the
foregoing on the enforceability of the Opinion Documents.
(d) Insofar as our opinions set forth in paragraphs 4 and 11 above relate to the
enforceability under New York law of the provisions of the Opinion Documents choosing New
Exhibit H-1
— Form of Opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P.
Page 8
York law as the governing law thereof, such opinion is rendered solely in reliance upon the
Act of July 19, 1984, ch. 421, 1984 XxXxxxxx’x Sess. Law of N.Y. 1406 (codified at N.Y. Gen. Oblig.
Law §§5-1401 (XxXxxxxx 1989)) (the “Act”) and is subject to the qualifications that such
enforceability (i) as specified in the Act, does not apply to the extent provided to the contrary
in subsection two of Section 1-105 of the NY UCC, (ii) may be limited by public policy
considerations of any jurisdiction in which enforcement of such provisions is sought, and (iii) is
subject to any U.S. Constitutional requirement under the Full Faith and Credit Clause or the Due
Process Clause thereof or the exercise of any applicable judicial discretion in favor of another
jurisdiction.
(e) Certain of the remedial provisions with respect to the Article 9 Collateral (including
waivers with respect to the exercise of remedies against the collateral) contained in the U.S.
Security Agreement and the U.S. Pledge Agreement may be unenforceable in whole or in part, but the
inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of the U.S. Security Agreement and the
U.S. Pledge Agreement, taken as a whole, and the U.S. Security Agreement and the U.S. Pledge
Agreement, taken as a whole, together with applicable law, contains adequate provisions for the
practical realization of the benefits intended to be provided thereby (it being understood that we
express no opinion as to the adequacy of such provisions to the extent it is necessary to seek
execution or enforcement of rights or remedies under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the State
of New York). Additionally, we note that the remedies under the U.S. Security Agreement and U.S.
Pledge Agreement to sell or offer for sale Article 9 Collateral constituting securities are subject
to compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. We call to your attention that
some of the Pledgors under the U.S. Pledge Agreement are organized in jurisdictions other than
Delaware and Texas (including outside of the United States), and we express no opinion as to the
effect of the laws of such other jurisdictions on the opinions herein stated. Our opinion with
respect to the security interests of the U.S. Collateral Agent in the Certificated Securities is
limited to the NY UCC and the laws of the jurisdiction of an issuer of pledged securities may
affect, among other things, whether the securities are characterized as certificated securities,
the exercise of remedies with respect to such securities and the exercise of voting or other rights
with respect to such securities.
(f) In the case of property which becomes Article 9 Collateral after the date hereof, our
opinion in paragraph 7 above, as to the creation and validity of the security interests therein
described, is subject to the effect of Section 552 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, which limits the
extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code may be subject to such security interest arising from a security agreement entered
into by the debtor before the commencement of such case.
(g) We express no opinion as to Article 9 Collateral that is subject to a state statute or a
statute, regulation or treaty of the United States referred to in Section 9-311(a) of the NY UCC,
Section 9-311(a) of the Delaware UCC or Section 9.311(a) of the Texas UCC.
(h) With respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs 7 and 8 above, we express no opinion
as to Article 9 Collateral consisting of commercial tort claims.
Exhibit H-1
— Form of Opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P.
Page 9
(i) With respect to our opinion in paragraph 8 above, we express no opinion as to the
perfection of a security interest in any items of collateral that are or are to become fixtures, as
extracted collateral or timber to be cut.
(j) Other than the filing of the UCC Financing Statements in the filing offices set forth in
our opinion in paragraph 8 above, we express no opinion as to any other actions (including any
filings or registrations) that may be necessary under any applicable law in connection with
perfection of a security interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of patents, trademarks,
copyrights or other intellectual property rights.
(k) With respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs 7 through 9, we express no opinion as
to the priority of any security interest.
(l) We express no opinion herein regarding the enforceability of any provision in an Opinion
Document that purports to prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of any Designated
Company’s rights or obligations under such Opinion Document to the extent that such restriction on
assignability is governed by Sections 9-406 through 9-409 of the NY UCC.
(m) With respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs 7 through 9 above, the attachment and
perfection of the Agent’s security interest in proceeds is limited to the extent set forth in
Section 9-315 of the NY UCC, Section 9-315 of the Delaware UCC or Section 9.315 of the Texas UCC.
(n) We express no opinion as to any actions that may be required to be taken periodically
under the NY UCC, the Delaware UCC, the Texas UCC or under any other applicable law in order for
the effectiveness of the Financing Statements or perfection of any security interest to be
maintained.
We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than: (i) the laws of the State
of New York, (ii) the federal laws of the United States of America; (iii) with respect to our
opinions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 5(a), the Delaware Entity Statutes and the laws of the
State of Texas and (iv) as indicated in paragraph 8 above, the Delaware UCC and the Texas UCC. We
note that the Canadian Borrowers are organized and existing under the laws of the Province of
Alberta, Canada. We express no opinion as to (a) the laws of the Province of Alberta or the
federal laws of Canada, or (b) the effect that such laws may have on the opinions rendered herein.

regularly give and lawyers who regularly advise recipients regarding opinions of this kind.

obligation to update this letter after such date.

Each of the Canadian Lenders listed on Annex I hereto and each other person that becomes party to
the Credit Agreement referenced below as a Canadian Lender
Re: PTI Group Inc. and PTI Premium Camp Services Ltd. and certain of their
Subsidiaries
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to PTI Group Inc. (the “Canadian Parent”) and PTI Premium
Camp Services Ltd. (“PTI Premium”), each a corporation amalgamated under the laws of the
Province of Alberta (the “Canadian Borrowers”), and each of the persons listed on Annex II
hereto (such persons, together with the Canadian Borrowers, collectively being the “Canadian
Obligors”), in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
“Credit Agreement”) dated as of December 10, 2010, among Oil States International, Inc.
(the “U.S. Borrower”), the Canadian Borrowers, the lenders signatory thereto (the
“Lenders”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as U.S. Administrative Agent for the Lenders, Royal
Bank of Canada, as Canadian Administrative Agent and Canadian Collateral Agent for the Canadian
Lenders (the “Canadian Collateral Agent”), and JPMorgan Chase, N.A., as Syndication Agent
for the Lenders, and The Toronto-Dominion Bank and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Co-Documentation
Agents for the Lenders. This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(iii)(2)
of the Credit Agreement. Each capitalized term not defined herein or in Annex I, Annex II or Annex
III hereto shall have the meaning ascribed such term in the Credit Agreement.
I — OPINION
In our capacity as counsel, we have examined copies of the Credit Agreement and the documents
listed on Annex III hereto (such documents collectively being the “Loan Documents”). Based
upon that examination, on the post-registration search results applicable to the amendments to the
security registrations described in Annex IV hereto and on such investigation of the laws of the
Province of Alberta as we have deemed necessary, and subject to the exceptions, limitations,
qualifications and assumptions herein contained, we are of the opinion that:
Exhibit H-2 — Form of Opinion of Fraser Xxxxxx Casgrain LLP
Page 1
1. Each Canadian Obligor is a corporation amalgamated or incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the Province of Alberta. The Canadian Obligors have the requisite
corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under
the Loan Documents to which each is a party and each Canadian Borrower has the requisite power and
authority to borrow Canadian Loans under the Credit Agreement. Each of the Loan Documents to which
any Canadian Obligor is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such person,
respectively.
2. Each of the Canadian Obligors has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the
execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents
to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance by each Canadian Obligor of its
obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party will not result in a violation of such
person’s respective Certificates or Articles of Amalgamation or Incorporation or By-laws, as
applicable. The execution, delivery and performance by each Canadian Obligor of its obligations
under the Loan Documents to which it is a party will not (i) result in a violation of any laws of
the Province of Alberta, (ii) to our knowledge, result in a violation of or constitute a breach or
default under any material agreement, instrument or judicial or regulatory order binding upon it or
its properties, or (iii) to our knowledge, result in the creation or imposition of any Lien or any
of its properties pursuant to any such material agreement, instrument or judicial or regulatory
order.
3. Each of the Loan Documents to which each Canadian Obligor is a party constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of such person party thereto, enforceable against such person in
accordance with its terms to the extent that the laws of the Province of Alberta are applicable.
4. Except for the filings described in paragraph I(8) below, no authorization, consent, approval,
license or exemption of, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority of Canada or
the Province of Alberta is necessary for either the due execution and delivery by any Canadian
Obligor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or the repayment by the Canadian Borrowers of
the Canadian Loans.
5. Except as disclosed pursuant to the Credit Agreement, there are, to our knowledge, no actions,
suits or proceedings pending or threatened against any Canadian Obligor which involves the
possibility of any judgment or liability against such Canadian Obligor which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
6. Each of the Amended and Restated Canadian Security Agreement (the “Canadian Security
Agreement”) and the Amended and Restated Canadian Pledge Agreement (the “Canadian Pledge
Agreement”) creates in favour of the Canadian Collateral Agent a security interest in the
collateral described therein in which a security interest may be created under the Personal
Property Security Act (Alberta) (the “PPSA”) as security for the obligations described
therein.
7. Assuming delivery in Ontario to, and continued possession in Ontario by, the Canadian Collateral
Agent of all share certificates for the securities listed on Schedule II to the Canadian Pledge
Agreement, together with the Stock Powers therefor with respect to the pledged shares identified as
such in the Canadian Pledge Agreement (the “Pledged Shares”), the execution and delivery of
the Canadian Pledge Agreement and the Stock Powers with the share certificates attached perfects
the security interest created in the Pledged Shares as security for the obligations described
therein. All necessary corporate action has been taken by the Canadian Borrowers and each of the
Canadian Subsidiaries to authorize
Exhibit H-2 — Form of Opinion of Fraser Xxxxxx Casgrain LLP
Page 2
the transfer of the Pledged Shares contemplated by the Canadian Pledge Agreement including any
subsequent transfer of the Pledged Shares by the Canadian Collateral Agent upon enforcement of the
Canadian Pledge Agreement. PTI Holdco Sub is the registered owner of all the issued and
outstanding shares in the capital of the Canadian Parent. The Canadian Parent is the registered
owner of all the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of each of PTI Premium, Crown Camp
Services Ltd., PTI Camp Installations Ltd., PTI International Ltd., PTI Travco Modular Structures
Ltd., PTI International Inc., PTI Noble Structures Inc., Norwel Developments Limited, PTI Atlantic
Ltd. and Ek’Ati Services Ltd. PTI Premium is the registered owner of all of the issued and
outstanding shares in the capital of Xxxxxxxxx Lake Enterprises Ltd.
8. Registrations have been made by us in all public offices provided for under the laws of the
Province of Alberta where such registrations are necessary to preserve, perfect or protect the
security interest (the “Security Interest”) created by each of the Canadian Security
Agreement and the Canadian Pledge Agreement (the “Canadian Security Agreements”) in favour
of the Canadian Collateral Agent in the collateral described therein (the “Collateral”).
The particulars of such registrations are listed in Annex IV hereto.
9. A court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Alberta, if properly presented with a
choice of law issue, will honor the choice of New York law to govern the Credit Agreement.
10. A court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Alberta would uphold the choice of the
laws of the State of New York as the proper law governing the Credit Agreement provided that such
choice of law is:
a) bona fide (in the sense that it was not made with a view to avoiding the consequences of
the laws of any other jurisdiction); and
b) not contrary to public policy, as that term is understood under the laws of the Province of
Alberta.
As at the date hereof, we are not aware of any reason why the choice of the laws of the State of
New York would be found not to be bona fide or to be contrary to public policy under the laws of
the Province of Alberta.
11. In an action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Alberta with
regard to the Credit Agreement, the laws of the State of New York would, subject to the foregoing,
to the extent specifically pleaded and proved as a fact by expert evidence, be recognized and
applied by such court to all issues which, under conflict of laws rules in effect in the Province
of Alberta, are to be determined in accordance with the proper or governing law of the contract,
provided however, that a court in the Province of Alberta:
a) would not enforce provisions of the Credit Agreement or the applicable provisions of the
laws of the State of New York which such court would characterize as procedural, penal, revenue, or
expropriatory in nature or as contrary to public policy;
b) would retain discretion to decline to hear such action if it is contrary to public policy
for such court to do so, or if such court is not the proper forum to hear such action, or if
concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere; and
Exhibit H-2 — Form of Opinion of Fraser Xxxxxx Casgrain LLP
Page 3
c) may not enforce an obligation enforceable under the laws of the State of New York where
performance of the obligation would be illegal by the law of the place of performance.
12. The laws of the Province of Alberta would permit an action to be brought in a court of
competent jurisdiction in the Province of Alberta on any final, conclusive, subsisting and
unsatisfied judgment in personam of the foreign jurisdiction, which is not impeachable as void or
voidable under the internal laws of that foreign jurisdiction, for a sum certain if:
a) the court rendering that judgment had jurisdiction over the judgment debtor and such court
acted within its jurisdiction, as recognized by the courts of the Province of Alberta;
b) that judgment was not obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to natural justice and the
enforcement thereof would not be inconsistent with public policy as such term is understood under
the laws of the Province of Alberta and is not contrary to any order made under the Foreign
Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada);
c) the granting of that judgment was not contrary to an agreement between the parties under
which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the court
rendering that judgment;
d) the enforcement of that judgment does not constitute, directly or indirectly, the
enforcement of foreign revenue, expropriatory or penal laws;
e) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is discovered prior to the rendering of
the judgment by the courts in the Province of Alberta;
f) no manifest error occurred in the granting of that judgment, in the case where that
judgment was obtained by default;
g) the defendant had attorned to the jurisdiction, and was duly served with the process, of
the court rendering that judgment, or appeared; and
h) there has been compliance with the applicable limitation of actions legislation
in the Province of Alberta.
II — QUALIFICATIONS
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exceptions, limitations, qualifications
and assumptions:
1. We have assumed that:
a) the Pledged Shares evidenced by the applicable share certificates will be delivered to the
Canadian Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Canadian Lenders, in Ontario and will henceforth remain
in the continuous possession of the Canadian Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Canadian Lenders,
in Ontario; and
Exhibit H-2 — Form of Opinion of Fraser Xxxxxx Casgrain LLP
Page 4
b) the Canadian Collateral Agent, in connection with the Canadian Pledge Agreement, has had no
notice of an adverse claim within the meaning of Section 1(1)(a) of the Securities Transfer Act
(Alberta).
2. Under the present laws of the Province of Alberta, the validity, perfection and effect of
perfection or non-perfection of a security interest in an investment property in the form of a
certificated security is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the share certificate is
located at the time the security interest attaches and, as a result, if the Pledged Shares are
located in Ontario at the time that the Security Interest created by the Canadian Pledge Agreement
attaches, then the laws of the Province of Ontario (not the laws of the Province of Alberta) will
govern the validity, perfection and effect of perfection or non-perfection of such Security
Interest.
3. To the extent that the Collateral is comprised of motor vehicles, trailers, mobile homes, boats,
outboard motors or aircraft, the Security Interest in that type of personal property can be more
effectively perfected if the Canadian Security Agreement and the filings described in paragraph
I(8) above set out the serial numbers of such personal property. Further, to the extent that the
Collateral is comprised of trademarks, patents, copyrights, industrial designs or other
intellectual property, the Security Interest in that type of personal property can be more
effectively perfected if the Canadian Security Agreement is registered under the appropriate
federal laws of the Canada.
4. Our opinion expressed in paragraph I(1) above as to the validity and subsistence of the Canadian
Obligors is based solely on our review of the certificates of status dated December 6, 2010 issued
by the Registrar of Corporations (Alberta).
5. Our opinions set forth above are limited to the laws of the Province of Alberta and the laws of
Canada applicable therein and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
6. The validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which any of the Canadian Obligors is a
party may be subject to or affected or limited by:
a) the interests of those persons described in section 20 of the PPSA except to the extent
that the Security Interest was perfected at the time that those persons’ interests arose;
b) the duty of the Canadian Collateral Agent to exercise remedies on default in good faith and
in a commercially reasonable manner;
c) terms of the Canadian Security Documents which purport to limit liability for failure to
discharge duties imposed by the PPSA, which terms may be void;
d) the possibility that the PPSA may affect the enforcement of certain remedies contained in
the Canadian Security Documents to the extent that such remedies are inconsistent or contrary to
the PPSA provided that, in our opinion, the provisions of the PPSA will not make the remedies
provided under the Canadian Security Documents inadequate for the practical realization in the
Province of Alberta of the benefit of the security constituted thereby in accordance with
applicable law;
e) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent preference and conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation, public policy or other laws generally affecting the enforceability of the
rights of creditors. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we
express no opinion on the enforceability of the provisions of Section 7.16 of the Canadian Security
Agreement,
Exhibit H-2 — Form of Opinion of Fraser Xxxxxx Casgrain LLP
Page 5
Section 23 of the Amended and Restated Canadian Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or Section 21
of the Amended and Restated PTI Holdco Sub Guarantee Agreement;
f) general principles of equity and equitable remedies which are only available in the
discretion of the courts;
g) the rights and privileges of the Crown and its agents; and
h) applicable laws regarding limitations of actions.
7. No opinion is expressed as to the validity or enforceability of the Security Interest in any
portion of the Collateral:
a) to which the PPSA does not apply;
b) which is not identifiable or traceable; or
c) which constitutes proceeds of the Collateral and which is not identifiable or traceable.
8. No opinion is expressed as to the priority of the Canadian Security Documents or the Security
Interest or any other mortgage, charge, assignment, security interest or other right or claim of
the Canadian Collateral Agent in or to the Collateral.
9. The Security Interest in proceeds must be perfected by registration or possession within 15 days
after the Security Interest in the original Collateral attaches to those proceeds unless:
a) the proceeds consist of money, cheques or deposit accounts; or
b) the proceeds are of a kind that are within the description of the original Collateral or
are sufficiently described in the financing statements (the “Financing Statements”)
evidencing the filings described in paragraph I(8) above under the PPSA.
10. No opinion is expressed as to the title of the Canadian Obligors to the Collateral and, as a
result, no opinion is expressed as to the effectiveness of the Security Interest in the Collateral
where effectiveness depends on the title of the Collateral and, without restricting the generality
of the foregoing, the Security Interest in property, assets or rights not yet acquired by the
Canadian Obligors may not be effective until that property, assets or rights have been acquired by
the Canadian Obligors.
11. The continuing effectiveness of the registrations of the Financing Statements is subject to the
following:
a) the registrations described in the Financing Statements are valid for finite time periods
and must be renewed by the registration of financing change statements under the PPSA prior to the
expiry dates applicable to such registrations (with the exception of the land charges which are
valid for infinity and need not be renewed); and
b) if the Canadian Collateral Agent discovers that any Canadian Obligor has changed or is
about to change its name or that any Canadian Obligor has transferred or is about to transfer any
portion of its interest in the Collateral to a third party, then the Canadian Collateral Agent must
file a
Exhibit H-2 — Form of Opinion of Fraser Xxxxxx Casgrain LLP
Page 6
financing change statement under the PPSA within 15 days after discovering that the change or
the transfer has or is about to occur in order to protect the Security Interest;
and we take no responsibility for the registration of the financing change statements in the
circumstances described above.
12. No opinion is expressed as to the enforceability of the provisions of the Loan Documents to
which any Canadian Obligor is a party which do any of the following:
a) restrict access to legal or equitable remedies or defences;
b) purport to establish evidentiary standards;
c) purport to waive or affect any rights to notices;
d) provide for non-judicial foreclosure or self-help remedies;
e) relate to delay or omission of enforcement of remedies; or
f) relate to time periods for complying with demands or determinations made by the Canadian
Collateral Agent or other parties in the exercise of a discretion purported to be given by them if
made in an unreasonable or arbitrary fashion.
13. In giving our opinions set forth herein we have assumed (a) the legal capacity of all natural
persons, (b) the genuineness of all signatures of the persons signing each of the Loan Documents on
behalf of the parties thereto, (c) the validity, binding effect and enforceability of each of the
Loan Documents against each of the parties thereto (other than the Canadian Obligors), (d) the
conformity to original authentic documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such documents, (e) that each party to the Loan Documents (other
than the Canadian Obligors) (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has full power, authority, and legal right to
execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party,
(iii) has duly authorized by all requisite action its execution, delivery, and performance thereof,
and (iv) has duly executed and delivered such documents by its duly authorized officers, (f) that
the Security Interest in the Pledged Shares has been validly perfected in accordance with the laws
of the jurisdiction in which the certificates were situated at the time the Security Interest
attached to the Pledged Shares, and (g) that the corporate minute books of the Canadian Obligors
which we have examined contain complete and accurate copies of the resolutions of the directors and
shareholders of the Canadian Obligors. As to questions of fact material to such opinions we have,
to the extent we deemed appropriate, relied upon the representations set forth in the Loan
Documents (other than statements, directly or in effect, of any legal conclusion expressed herein)
and upon an officer’s certificate of the Canadian Obligors, dated the date hereof.
14. The opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof, and we make no undertaking to
supplement such opinions as facts and circumstances come to our attention (including, without
limitation, amendments to any of the Loan Documents) or changes in the law occur which could affect
such opinions.
15. When used herein, the phrases “to our knowledge” and “of which we are aware” mean or refer to
the actual knowledge of the matters herein referred to on the part of those lawyers presently with
Exhibit H-2 — Form of Opinion of Fraser Xxxxxx Casgrain LLP
Page 7
our firm who have given substantive attention to the transactions described in this opinion and
such phrases do not include constructive knowledge or knowledge imputed to this firm under common
law principles of agency or otherwise.
16. The opinions rendered herein are for the sole benefit of, and may only be relied upon by, the
Agents and the Canadian Lenders and their successors and assigns in accordance with the Credit
Agreement and the opinions herein expressed are not to be used, circulated or otherwise referred to
in connection with any transaction other than those contemplated by the Loan Documents. We have
not been asked to, and we do not, render any opinion as to any matter except as specifically set
forth herein.
