2.04. Disbursement of Funds. No later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(e)), each Lender with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts will be made available in Dollars (in the case of U.S. Dollar Denominated Loans) or Canadian Dollars (in the case of Canadian Dollar Denominated Loans), as the case may be, and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders under the respective Tranche (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof); provided that, if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (other than a Mandatory Borrowing), there are Unpaid Drawings or Swingline Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit, second, to the payment in full of any such Swingline Loans, and third, to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers as otherwise provided above; provided that in no event shall any proceeds attributable to a Canadian Borrower Loan, Letter of Credit, Unpaid Drawing or similar obligation be applied towards payment of a U.S. Borrower Loan, Letter of Credit, Unpaid Drawing or similar obligation or any proceeds attributable to a U.S. Borrower Loan, Letter of Credit, Unpaid Drawing or similar obligation be applied towards payment of a Canadian Borrower Loan, Letter of Credit, Unpaid Drawing or similar obligation; provided further that nothing in the foregoing proviso shall be deemed to constitute a release of a Guarantor from any Guaranty. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower or Borrowers and the relevant Borrower or Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in the applicable Available Currency. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the relevant Borrower or Borrowers , as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the relevant Borrower or Borrowers, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the relevant Borrower or Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

2.05. Notes. (a) Each Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in the case of A Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the U.S. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, an “A Term

Note” and, collectively, the “A Term Notes”), (ii) in the case of B Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the U.S. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “B Term Note” and, collectively, the “B Term Notes”), (iii) in the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3-A (in the case of 2016 Revolving Loans) or B-3-B (in the case of 2017 Revolving Loans), with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), and (iv) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect any Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to any Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrowers to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by such Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the respective Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06. Conversions. Each Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to this Section 2.06) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same Tranche) of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Loan, provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, (iii) Canadian CDOR Rate Loans may be converted into Canadian Prime Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Canadian CDOR Rate Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Canadian CDOR Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (iv) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Canadian Prime Rate Loans may not be converted into Canadian CDOR Rate Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, and (v) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the applicable Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least (x) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans and Canadian Prime Loans in Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the

case of conversions of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans and Canadian CDOR Rate Loans into Canadian Prime Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of A Term Loans, B Term Loans and Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their A Term Loan Commitments, B Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments (without regard to whether such Revolving Loan Commitments are 2016 Revolving Loan Commitments or 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments), respectively, provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the RL Lenders pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.08. Interest. (a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each of the U.S. Borrower Loans and each Canadian Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each of its respective Canadian Borrower Loans, in each case:

(i) Maintained as a Base Rate Loan, in each case, from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(ii) Maintained as a LIBOR Loan, in each case, from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period.

(iii) Maintained as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, in each case, from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Canadian Prime Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(iv) Maintained as a Canadian CDOR Rate Loan, in each case, from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Canadian CDOR Rate Loan to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Canadian CDOR Rate for such Interest Period.

(b) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess

of the rate then borne by such Loans, and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for amounts denominated in U.S. Dollars or maintained as Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loans for amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, in each case from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(b) shall be payable on demand.

(c) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Canadian Prime Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (iii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (iv) in respect of each Canadian CDOR Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (v) in respect of each Loan, (x) on the date of any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount prepaid or repaid) (except that repayments and prepayments of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in each case, under a Tranche shall not be required to be accompanied by a payment of accrued, and theretofore unpaid, interest thereon, unless either all outstanding Loans of such Type under such Tranche are being repaid or prepaid or the Total Commitment under such Tranche has terminated or will be terminated concurrently with such repayment or prepayment) and (y) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(d) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBO Rate and Canadian CDOR Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, as the case may be, and shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09. Interest Periods. (a) At the time a Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), such Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the such Borrower, be (x) a one, two, three or six month period or (y) a seven, fourteen or twenty-one day period if agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, provided that (in each case):

(i) all LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of

such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence; and

(vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans.

If by 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan, the relevant Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan as provided above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan into LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Loans, as applicable, with a same Interest Period, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBO Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loan because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of any of the Lender’s loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves or other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (except for taxes indemnified by the Borrower under Sections 5.04 or 13.01(or that would be so indemnified but for the application of an exclusion under such section) and the imposition of, and any change in the rate of, any taxes payable by such Lender described in any of Section 5.04(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v)) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the LIBO Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market (including that the LIBO Rate with respect to such LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such LIBOR Loan); or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the London interbank market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrowers with respect to LIBOR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrowers, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Borrowers may, and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrowers shall, either (x) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrowers was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant

to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall be deemed to be a change after the Effective Date in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10 and Section 3.06).

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180-days prior to the date that such Lender notifies such Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.11. Compensation. (a) The Borrowers agree to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the relevant Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrowers to repay LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

(b) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any such compensation incurred more than 180-days prior to the date that such Lender notifies such Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this

Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrowers increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrowers shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or, in the case of a replacement as provided in Section 13.12(b) where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, to replace the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender; provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Borrowers (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrowers and the Replacement Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings and/or (b) the outstanding Term Loans of any Tranche, the outstanding Term Loans of the respective Tranche or Tranches with respect to which such Lender is being replaced) of, and in each case (except for the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of any or all Tranches of Term Loans of the respective Lender) all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender under each Tranche with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there are no Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche, in the case of the replacement of less than all Tranches of Loans then held by the respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 4.01, (y) except in the case of the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of one or more Tranches of a Replaced Lender, each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) in the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrowers then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those (a) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase

price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11 or (b) relating to any Tranche of Loans and/or Commitments of the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04; provided that in the case of a Defaulting Lender, such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment, notwithstanding execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on such Lender’s behalf by the Administrative Agent. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrowers, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans and/or a Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (y) except in the case of the replacement of only outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13, the RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.

2.14. Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a) The U.S. Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Syndication Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Available Incremental Amount (such amount not to include loans which constitute Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness of the Loans hereunder) (x) one or more additional tranches or additions to the A Term Loans or B Term Loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or (y) one or more additional tranches or increases in the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments on similar terms to the terms of the Revolving Loan Commitments and any other Extended Revolving Commitments (unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent (except for (x) the tenor of such additional tranches or increases (which shall have a scheduled expiration date no earlier than the 2017 Revolving Loan Maturity Date) and (y) the applicable interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, premiums, funding discounts and fees payable (other the Commitment Commission and any similar fee) with respect to such additional tranches or increases (in each case which shall be as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment) (the “Revolving Commitment Increase”, and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, collectively, the “Incremental Loans”); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.14(a), the Borrower shall always have the right to add additional tranches or increase the Revolving Loan Commitments so that after giving effect thereto the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is $375,000,000 (subject to (x) satisfaction of the requirements of the immediately succeeding proviso (y) treating any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness of Revolving Loan Commitments as Revolving Loan Commitments for purposes hereof); and provided further that (i) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (ii) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, all of the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in Section 8 and in each other Credit Document shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such time (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly

relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date), (iii) all Incremental Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Agreement secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under the Guaranty, (iv) the U.S. Borrower shall be in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.08 (whether or not then in effect) determined on a Pro Forma Basis as of the date of the most recently ended Test Period (or, if no Test Period cited in Section 10.08 has passed, the covenant in Section 10.08 for the first Test Period cited in such Sections shall be satisfied as of the last four quarters ended), in each case, as if such Incremental Term Loans or Loans pursuant to the Revolving Loan Commitment Increase, as applicable, had been outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter of the U.S. Borrower for testing compliance therewith and (v) at no time shall there be more than five separate tranches of Revolving Loan Commitments.

(b) (i) Incremental Term Loans that are added to the existing tranche of A Term Loans or B Term Loans, as applicable, shall have identical terms to such existing tranche of Term Loans. All other Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Loans; provided, however, that (i) the interest rate applicable to the Incremental Term Loans may differ from that applicable to the existing Loans, but if the “effective yield” applicable to a given tranche of Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to take account of any interest rate benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the weighted average life of such loans and (y) four years) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and the effect of any LIBO Rate or Base Rate floors, in each case as determined by the Administrative Agent, but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans) determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Term Loans exceeds the “effective yield” then applicable to any Loans or any other tranche of Incremental Term Loans (determined on the same basis as provided in the preceding parenthetical) by more than 0.50% (the amount of such excess being the “Yield Differential”), the Applicable Margin for such existing Loans subject to a Yield Differential shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential effective upon the making of the applicable Incremental Term Loans, (ii) the final stated maturity date for a given tranche of Incremental Term Loans may be later (but not sooner) than the latest of the A Term Loan Maturity Date, B Term Loan Maturity Date and 2017 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (iii) the amortization requirements for a given tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ, so long as the average weighted life to maturity of such Incremental Term Loans is no shorter than the average weighted life to maturity applicable to the then outstanding B Term Loans, and (iv) the other terms of a given tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ if reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If the interest rate margins (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing an additional tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments and any LIBOR floor applicable to such additional tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments) or commitment fee relating to any additional tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments exceeds the Applicable Margin (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments and any LIBO or Base Rate floor applicable to the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments) or Commitment Commission relating to the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Extension by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin and Commitment Commission, as applicable, relating to the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments shall be adjusted to be equal to the interest rate margins (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such additional tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments and any LIBOR floor applicable to such additional

tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments) relating to such additional tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments minus 0.50% and the Applicable Margin relating to any Extended Revolving Commitments (other than the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments) (if any) and any additional tranches of Revolving Loan Commitments added pursuant to Section 2.14 which were added pursuant to one or more prior incurrences of Revolving Loan Commitments (if any) shall be adjusted so that the difference between the Applicable Margin relating to the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to the foregoing adjustment) and the Applicable Margin relating such Extended Revolving Commitments (other than the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments) (if any) and additional tranches of Revolving Loan Commitments added pursuant to one or more prior incurrences remains the same as immediately prior to the incurrence of such recent additional tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments.

(c) Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and shall be in an increment of $5,000,000 and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and shall be in an increment of $5,000,000 (provided that in each case such amount may be less if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.14(a)).

(d) Each notice from the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan or any portion of any Revolving Commitment Increase) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 13.04 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 7 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Event” or similar language in such Section 7 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases unless it so agrees.

(e) Upon each increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, (a) each RL Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”), and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such RL Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after

giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each RL Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments of all RL Lenders represented by such RL Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and (b) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.11. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(f) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.06 or 13.12 to the contrary.

2.15. Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the U.S. Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the later to occur of the Effective Date and the Syndication Date, conduct reverse Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans (each, an “Auction”) (each such Auction to be managed exclusively by MS&Co. or another investment bank of recognized standing selected by the U.S. Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”)), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 and Schedule 2.15;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice and at the time of purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Auction;

(iii) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in any such Auction shall be no less than $25,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent);

(iv) after giving effect to any purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.15, the sum of (x) the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment and (y) the aggregate amount of all cash and Cash Equivalents of the U.S. Borrower and the other Credit Parties, shall not be less than $100,000,000;

(v) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by the U.S. Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the U.S. Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);

(vi) no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time;

(vii) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans purchased pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not exceed $250,000,000;

(viii) each Auction shall be open and offered to all Lenders of the relevant Tranche on a pro rata basis; and

(ix) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, the U.S. Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager an officer’s certificate of an Authorized Officer certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (iv) and (vii).

(b) The U.S. Borrower must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction. If the U.S. Borrower commences any Auction (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of the respective Auction have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the U.S. Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then the U.S. Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (x) the U.S. Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the U.S. Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 13.06.

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 13.06 (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by the U.S. Borrower contemplated by this Section 2.15 shall not constitute Investments by the U.S. Borrower)) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 12 and Section 13.01 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.

(d) Each Lender participating in any Auction hereby acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such Auction, (1) the U.S. Borrower may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding the Term Loans or the Credit Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to participate in such Auction (such information, the “Excluded Information”), (2) such Lender has independently, without reliance on the U.S. Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to participate in such Auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (3) none of the U.S. Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against the U.S. Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, and their respective Affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender participating in any Auction further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

2.16. Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the U.S. Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like maturity date or Revolving Loan Commitments with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the U.S. Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Loan Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Revolving Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Loan Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) in amounts, and with terms, as may be agreed between the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extended Revolving Lender (including, but not limited, with respect to interest rates, fees, final maturity, quantum and covenants); provided that at no time shall there be Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Loan Commitments); provided that (x) subject to the provisions of Sections 2.01(f) and 3.01(c) to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with their RL Percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitments (and except as provided in Section 2.01(f) and 3.01(c), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings under Revolving Loan Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Loan Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Loan Commitments) which have more than five different maturity dates, (iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined between the U.S. Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, (iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then latest maturity date hereunder and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.02(b) for periods prior to the B Term Loan Maturity Date may not be increased, (v) the weighted average life of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the

remaining weighted average life of the Term Loans extended thereby, (vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer, (viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (ix) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the U.S. Borrower and (x) the Minimum Tranche Amount (as defined below) shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if the interest rate margins (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing Extended Term Loans and any LIBOR floor applicable to such Extended Term Loans) relating to any Extended Term Loan exceeds the Applicable Margin (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing the B Term Loans and any LIBO or Base Rate floor applicable to the B Term Loans) relating to the B Term Loans immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Extension by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin relating to the B Term Loans, as applicable, shall be adjusted to be equal to the interest rate margins (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans and any LIBOR floor applicable to such Extended Term Loans) relating to such Extended Term Loans minus 0.50% and the Applicable Margin relating to any Incremental Term Loans (if any) and any Extended Term Loans which were extended pursuant to one or more prior Extensions (if any) shall be adjusted so that the difference between the Applicable Margin relating to the B Term Loans (after giving effect to the foregoing adjustment) and the Applicable Margin relating to such Incremental Term Loans and prior Extended Term Loans remains the same as immediately prior to the Extension and (B) if the interest rate margins (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing Extended Revolving Commitments (other than the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments) and any LIBOR floor applicable to such Extended Revolving Commitments (other than the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments)) or commitment fee relating to any Extended Revolving Commitments (other than the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments) exceeds the Applicable Margin (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments and any LIBO or Base Rate floor applicable to the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments) or Commitment Commission relating to the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Extension by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin and Commitment Commission, as applicable, relating to the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments shall be adjusted to be equal to the interest rate margins (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments (other than the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments) and any LIBOR floor applicable to such Extended Revolving Commitments (other than the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments)) relating to such Extended Revolving Commitments minus 0.50% and the Applicable Margin relating to any additional tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments added pursuant to Section 2.14 and any Extended Revolving Commitments which were extended pursuant to one or more prior Extensions (other than the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments) (if any) shall be adjusted so that the difference between the Applicable Margin relating to

the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to the foregoing adjustment) and the Applicable Margin relating such additional tranche of Extended Revolving Loan Commitments and prior Extended Revolving Commitments (other than the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments) remains the same as immediately prior to the Extension.

(c) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 5.01 or 5.02 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that (x) the U.S. Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the U.S. Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the U.S. Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered and (y) no tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $100,000,000 (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on the such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.11 and 2.17) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

(d) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Lender that also constitutes an Extending Revolving Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the U.S. Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Loan Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.16. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then latest maturity date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest maturity date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(e) In connection with any Extension, the U.S. Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 5 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section.

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

(a) if any Swingline Loan Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders in accordance with their respective RL Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all RL Lenders’ that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders Individual Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of all Non-Defaulting RL Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments, (y) immediately following the reallocation to a RL Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Individual Exposure of such RL Lender does not exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment at such time and (z) the conditions set forth in Section 7 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Loan Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding (the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”);

(iii) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure;

(iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.17(a), then the Fees payable to the RL Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentages; and

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.17(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any RL Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to each Issuing Lender until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.01(d) or Section 3, so long as any RL Lender is a Defaulting Lender (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral has been provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(a), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

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

SECTION 3. Letters of Credit.

3.01. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, a Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 5th day prior to (x) with respect to 2016 Revolving Lenders, the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (y) with respect to the 2017 Revolving Lenders, the 2017 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars and shall be issued on a sight basis only. The Existing Letters of Credit which are outstanding as of the Effective Date shall be deemed to be issued by an Issuing Lender under this Agreement as of the Effective Date for all purposes hereof (other than Section 3.03) and the other Credit Documents.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 5th day prior to the 2017 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for account of such Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default, provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

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

(ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from any Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

(c) Except to the extent set forth in Section 3.04(g) and 5.02(a)(ii), if the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Loan Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall

automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.04) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Loan Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3.04. If, for any reason, such cash collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a maturity date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such maturity date. Commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended tranches.

3.02. Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued (or required to be issued) if the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed $150,000,000, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued (or required to be issued) at any time the Aggregate Exposure exceeds (or would after giving effect to such issuance exceed) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, (iii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued at the request of any Canadian Borrower (or required to be issued at the request of any Canadian Borrower) at any time the Aggregate Canadian Borrower Exposure exceeds (or would after giving effect to such issuance exceed) $275,000,000, (iv) no Letter of Credit in Canadian Dollars shall be issued (or required to be issued) at any time the Aggregate Canadian Dollar Denominated Exposure exceeds (or would after giving effect to such issuance exceed) $275,000,000, and (v) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the 2017 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender) and (B) five Business Days prior to the 2017 Revolving Loan Maturity Date; provided that, no Letter of Credit may have an expiration date occurring later than the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date if on such date of issuance, the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit having expiration dates after the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date (including such newly issued Letter of Credit), when added to the Aggregate Exposure of all 2017 Revolving Lenders (exclusive of Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Letters of Credit) as of such date, would exceed the Total 2017 Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect.

3.03. Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such requesting Borrowers to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from any Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 are not

then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrowers in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers to be named as account party therein and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week.

(c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $5,000 (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued in a currency other than Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent thereof) or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

3.04. Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each RL Lender, and each such RL Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall an issuance of a Letter of Credit with respect to or for the benefit of any Canadian Borrower be deemed to result in a sale of a participation of any obligation of the U.S. Borrower or shall the issuance of a Letter of Credit with respect to or for the benefit of the U.S. Borrower be deemed to result in a sale of a participation of any obligation of any Canadian Borrower.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the U.S. Borrower or any Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New

York City time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any 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;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

(g) On the 2014 Revolving Loan Commitment Extension Effective Date, the participations in any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated so that after giving effect thereto the 2017 Revolving Lenders and the 2016 Revolving Lenders shall share ratably in such participations in accordance with the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments (including both the 2016 Revolving Loan Commitments and the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time in effect). Thereafter, until the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, participations in any newly-issued Letters of Credit shall be allocated in accordance with the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments (including both the 2016 Revolving Loan Commitments and the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time in effect). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, unless an Event of Default under Section 11.01 or Section 11.05 then exists, on the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the interests and participations of the 2016 Revolving Lenders in the Letters of Credit (if any) outstanding as at such day shall automatically terminate at the close of business on such date and (i) from and after the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the 2016 Revolving Lenders shall have no liability arising from, relating to, in connection with or otherwise in respect of, such interests and participations or Letter of Credit, and (ii) such interests and participations in outstanding Letters of Credit shall thereupon automatically and without further action be re-allocated to the extent necessary such that the interests and participations in such Credit Letters of Credit shall be held by the 2017 Revolving Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective 2017 Revolving Loan Commitments.

3.05. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) Each Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Borrower (each such amount (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, as the case may be), so paid until reimbursed by such Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than the same Business Day on which such Borrower shall have received notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by such Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day following the receipt by the Borrowers of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrowers) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the relevant Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing for which payment has been made under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Borrower, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the obligations of any such Borrower hereunder.

(b) The obligations of any Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it to such Borrower (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant),

including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

3.06. Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit, then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrowers by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers agree to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrowers by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not apply with respect to any cost or condition relating to taxes.

SECTION 4. Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

4.01. Fees. (a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) to the Administrative Agent for distribution to (i) each Non-Defaulting RL Lender with a 2016 Revolving Loan Commitment, for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date applicable to the 2016 Revolving Loans of such Non-Defaulting RL Lender (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to ½ of 1% of the Unutilized 2016 Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting RL Lender as in effect from time to time and (ii) each Non-Defaulting RL Lender with a 2017 Revolving Loan Commitment (A) from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the 2014 Revolving Loan Commitment Extension Effective Date computed at a rate per annum equal to ½ of 1% of the Unutilized 2017 Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting RL Lender as in effect from time to time and (B) from and including the 2014 Revolving Loan Commitment Extension Effective Date to and including the 2017 Revolving Loan Maturity Date applicable to the 2017 Revolving Loans of such Non-Defaulting RL Lender (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to 5/8 of 1% of the Unutilized 2017 Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting RL Lender as in effect

from time to time. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

(b) The (x) U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each RL Lender (based on each such RL Lender’s respective RL Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower (the “U.S. Letter of Credit Fee”) and (y) each Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each RL Lender (based on each such RL Lender’s respective RL Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Canadian Borrower (the “Canadian Letter of Credit Fee”, and together with the U.S. Letter of Credit Fee, the “Letter of Credit Fee”), in each case, for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such period with respect to Revolving Loans that are maintained as LIBOR Loans on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(c) Each Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee (the “Facing Fee”) in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Borrower for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal (x) in the case of any Issuing Lender that is 2016 Revolving Lender, to 1/8 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit and (y) the case of any Issuing Lender that is 2017 Revolving Lender, to 1/5 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(d) Each Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Borrower, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.

(e) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent.

(f) At the time of (x) any voluntary prepayment of B Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.01(a), (y) any mandatory repayment of B Term Loans required pursuant to Section 5.02(c)(z) and/or (z) any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Event, in each case prior to the two year anniversary of the Sixth Amendment Completion Date, the U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with B Term Loans (including, with respect to clause (z) above, each Lender that withholds its consent to such Repricing Event and is replaced as a Replaced Lender under Section 2.13), a prepayment fee (I) in the case of clauses (x) and (y) above, on the principal amount so prepaid or repaid and (II) in the case of clause (z), on the principal amount of such B Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment, in each case, equal to as follows:

(A) 2.0%, if such prepayment, repayment or amendment occurs on or after the Sixth Amendment Effective but on or prior to the one year anniversary of the Sixth Amendment Completion Date; and

(B) 1.0% if such prepayment, repayment or amendment occurs after the one year anniversary of the Sixth Amendment Completion Date but prior to the two year anniversary of the Sixth Amendment Completion Date.

Such prepayment fees shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of the (x) prepayment or repayment or (y) the effectiveness of the amendment, as applicable.

4.02. Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments. (a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrowers shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part, pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in the case of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment, provided that each such reduction shall be applied to reduce any tranche of Revolving Loan Commitment as selected by the Borrowers, applied proportionately to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each RL Lender within such tranche.

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b) and/or with respect to Defaulting RL Lenders, the Borrowers shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees (except in the case of Defaulting RL Lenders) and all other amounts (except in the case of Defaulting RL Lenders), owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11 but excluding the payment of amounts owing in respect of Loans of any Tranche maintained by such Lender, if such Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 13.12(b)) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

4.03. Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) [Reserved].

(b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total A Term Loan Commitment (and the A Term Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Initial Borrowing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of A Term Loans on such date).

(c) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total B Term Loan Commitment (and the B Term Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Initial Borrowing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of B Term Loans on such date).

(d) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total 2016 Revolving Loan Commitment shall terminate in its entirety upon the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date and the Total 2017 Revolving Loan Commitment shall terminate in its entirety upon the 2017 Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(e) Each reduction to, or termination of, the Total 2016 Revolving Loan Commitment or the Total 2017 Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be applied to proportionately reduce or terminate, as the case may be, the 2016 Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender with a 2016 Revolving Loan Commitment or the 2017 Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender with a 2017 Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be.

SECTION 5. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

5.01. Voluntary Prepayments.

Canadian Borrower shall be applied pro rata among such Loans of the U.S. Borrower or any Canadian Borrower, respectively, provided that at the relevant Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of 2016 Revolving Loans or 2017 Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), such prepayment shall not, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be applied to any 2016 Revolving Loan 2017 Revolving Loan, as applicable, of a Defaulting Lender; (iv) each voluntary prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be applied to the A Term Loans and B Term Loans as directed by the U.S. Borrower; (v) each prepayment of A Term Loans and B Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans as directed by the U.S. Borrower; and (vi) any prepayment of B Term Loans made during the period commencing on the Sixth Amendment Completion Date and ending on the date occurring two years following the Sixth Amendment Completion Date shall be accompanied by the payment of the fee described in Section 4.01(f). For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the amount of any prepayment of Revolving Loans elected to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be allocated among the Revolving Loans of each Lender pro rata based on each such Lender’s RL Percentage without regard to the tranche of the Revolving Loan Commitments held by such Lender.

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrowers may, upon three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11), together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender (or owing to such Lender with respect to each Tranche which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 13.12(b), so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (b), (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (y) such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders and (B) the consents, if any, required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained. Each prepayment of A Term Loans and B Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

5.02. Mandatory Repayments. (a) (i) On any day on which the Aggregate Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (including as a result of the termination of the 2016 Revolving Loan Commitments on the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date),, the Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of their respective Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of their respective excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent. All payments made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.02(a)(i) shall be made as directed by the U.S. Borrower.

(ii) If at any time prior to the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding that has an expiration date after the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date and the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit having expiration dates after the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, when added to the Aggregate Exposure of all 2017 Revolving Lenders (exclusive of Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Letters of Credit) as of such date, exceeds the Total 2017 Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect, the Borrowers shall forthwith repay on such date the principal amount of any Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been paid in full, the Revolving Loans in an amount necessary to eliminate such deficiency. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit having expiration dates after the 2016 Revolving Loan Maturity Date, when added to the Aggregate Exposure of all 2017 Revolving Lenders (exclusive of Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Letters of Credit) as of such date, exceeds the Total 2017 Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of their respective excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the accounts of the Canadian Borrowers), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent. All payments made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.02(a)(ii) shall be made as directed by the U.S. Borrower.

(iii) On any day on which the Aggregate Canadian Borrower Exposure exceeds $154,500,000, the Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of their respective Canadian Borrower Swingline Loans and, after all Canadian Borrower Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Canadian Borrower Swingline Loans are outstanding, Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans in the amount by which the Aggregate Canadian Borrower Exposure exceeds $150,000,000. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Canadian Borrower Swingline Loans and Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of amounts not denominated in Dollars) at such time in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the accounts of the Canadian Borrowers exceeds $150,000,000 at such time, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of their respective excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the accounts of the Canadian Borrowers), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent. All payments made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.02(a)(iii) shall be made as directed by the U.S. Borrower.

(iv) On any day on which the Aggregate Canadian Dollar Denominated Exposure exceeds $283,250,000, the Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of their respective Canadian Dollar Denominated Swingline Loans and, after all Canadian Dollar Denominated Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Canadian Dollar Denominated Swingline Loans are outstanding, Canadian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans in the amount by which the Aggregate Canadian Dollar Denominated Exposure exceeds $275,000,000. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Canadian Dollar Denominated Swingline Loans and Canadian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts) at such time in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars exceeds $150,000,000 at such time, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of their respective excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral

account to be established by the Administrative Agent. All payments made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 5.02(a)(iv) shall be made as directed by the U.S. Borrower.

(b) (i) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date set forth below (each, a “Scheduled A Term Loan Repayment Date”), the U.S. Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of its A Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, as is set forth opposite each such date below (each such repayment, as the same may be reduced as provided in Section 5.01(a), 5.01(b) or 5.02(g), a “Scheduled A Term Loan Repayment”):

(ii) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (x) on each Quarterly Payment Date, beginning with the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in June, 2011, the U.S. Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of its B Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, as is equal to ¼ of 1% of the aggregate initial principal amounts of all B Term Loans theretofore borrowed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, and (y) on the B Term Loan Maturity Date (the B Term Loan Maturity Date and each Quarterly Payment Date described in preceding clause (x), each a “Scheduled B Term Loan Repayment Date”), the U.S. Borrower shall be required to repay in full the entire principal amount of its B Term Loans then outstanding (with each such repayment pursuant to this Section 5.02(b), as the same may be reduced as provided in Section 5.01(a) or 5.02(g), a “Scheduled B Term Loan Repayment”).

(c) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date upon which the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from (x) any issuance or incurrence by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness for borrowed money permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness, (y) any issuance or incurrence by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.04(xxi), an amount equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness, in each case shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h) and/or (z) any issuance or incurrence by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.04(xviii), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness; provided, that the mandatory repayment requirement set forth in this clause (z) shall not apply to the first $250,000,000 of such Indebtedness incurred by the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 10.04(xviii) after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date.

(d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date upon which the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied within three Business Days of such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).

(e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).

(f) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 5.02, within three Business Days of each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date upon which the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event in excess of $10,000,000, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided, however, that such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no Event of Default then exists and the U.S. Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used to replace or restore any properties or assets or reimbursements for business interruption expenses in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid within 365 days following the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the Net Cash Proceeds to be so expended), and provided further, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to be so applied pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within 365 days after the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or such earlier date, if any, as the U.S. Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 5.02(f) without regard to the immediately preceding proviso.

(g) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e), and (f) in accordance with this Section 5.02(g) shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans. The amount of each principal repayment of Term Loans made as required by Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be applied (i) pro rata to each Tranche of Term Loans (based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Tranches of Term Loans); provided that any payments required pursuant to Section 5.02(e) shall be required to be applied (x) first, to then outstanding principal of B Term Loans until they are paid in full and (y) second, to the extent in excess thereof, to repay then outstanding principal of A Term Loans and (ii) to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

(h) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrowers may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which such LIBOR Loans were made, provided that: (i) repayments of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all LIBOR Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such

Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the U.S. Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(i) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) all then outstanding Loans of a respective Tranche (other than Swingline Loans) shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans, and (ii) outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (x) the tenth Business Day following the date of the incurrence of such Swingline Loans and (y) the Swingline Expiry Date.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in Section 13.12), at any time that A Term Loans are outstanding, each Lender with outstanding B Term Loans (each a “B Term Loan Lender” and collectively, the “B Term Loan Lenders”) shall have the option, in its sole discretion (which election to waive prepayment shall be received by the Administrative Agent within two Business Days of Administrative Agent’s notice to the B Term Loan Lenders of a Waivable Mandatory Repayment (such date, the “Offer Response Date”)), to waive its pro rata share of a mandatory repayment of B Term Loans which is to be made pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and/or (f) (each such repayment, a “Waivable Mandatory Repayment”) upon the terms and provisions set forth in this Section 5.02(j); provided that if the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Repayment would exceed the aggregate principal amount of A Term Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to the application of its pro rata share of the respective mandatory repayment), then the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Repayment shall be limited to such aggregate principal amount of A Term Loans then outstanding and the remainder of the pro rata share of the respective mandatory repayment otherwise applicable to the B Term Loans shall be immediately applied to the repayment of such outstanding B Term Loans. In the event that any such B Term Loan Lender waives all or part of its share of any such Waivable Mandatory Repayment, the Administrative Agent shall apply 100% of the amount so waived by such B Term Loan Lender to the A Term Loans in accordance with Sections 5.02(g) and (h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, if one or more B Term Loan Lenders waives its right to receive all or any part of any Waivable Mandatory Repayment, but less than all the B Term Loan Lenders waive in full their right to receive 100% of the total payment otherwise required with respect to the B Term Loans, then of the amount actually applied to the repayment of B Term Loans of the B Term Loan Lenders which have waived all or any of part their right to receive 100% of such repayment, such amount shall be applied to each then outstanding Borrowing of B Term Loans on a pro rata basis (so that each B Term Loan Lender shall, after giving effect to the application of the respective repayment, maintain the same percentage (as determined for such B Term Loan Lender, but not the same percentage as the other B Term Loan Lenders hold and not the same percentage held by such B Term Loan Lender prior to repayment) of each Borrowing of B Term Loans which remains outstanding after giving effect to such application).

5.03. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in the relevant Available Currency in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

5.04. Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Borrowers hereunder and under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, unless so provided under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. Except as provided in Section 5.04(b), 13.04(a) and (b) or as required by applicable law or regulation or the administration or interpretation thereof, all payments made by the Borrowers hereunder will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding (i) any tax (x) imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or capital of the recipient pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which its principal office or, in the case of a Lender, applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein, or (y) imposed by reason of the recipient being a resident, domiciliary or national of, being engaged in business in or maintaining a permanent establishment or other physical presence in, or otherwise having some connection with the jurisdiction imposing the tax unless such connection results solely from such recipient’s executing, enforcing, delivering, becoming a party to, or performing its obligations or receiving a payment under or enforcing this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) any Canadian federal withholding tax that would not have been imposed if such recipient had been dealing at arm’s length at the time of making such payment with the Borrowers or Guarantors for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”), (iii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar taxes imposed by Canada, (iv) any withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure by such recipient (or any financial institution through which any payment is made to such recipient) to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA or is attributable to such recipient’s failure to comply with Section 5.04(b) and (v) other than a Lender that becomes a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13, any withholding tax resulting from any law in effect (including FATCA) on the date such recipient becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office, except to the extent such recipient (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 5.04(a) hereto, and all interest or penalties with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”)). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed in connection with any payment made by a Borrower hereunder, the respective Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority, and shall pay to the relevant person such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such payment, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Taxes, will not be less than the amount such person would have received absent such withholding or deduction. The respective Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts issued by the applicable taxing authority evidencing such payment by such Borrower, or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, such request stating the amount of Taxes so paid in connection with any payment made by a Borrower hereunder and describing, in reasonable detail, the basis for such indemnification claim, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed in connection with any payment made by a Borrower hereunder and paid by such Lender (including penalties and interest). Such indemnity shall survive indefinitely following the termination of this Agreement or the settlement of the Notes, as applicable. Such payment shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender makes a written demand therefor.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (each, a “Foreign Lender”) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms)

certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under any Credit Document, (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is not delivering forms pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under any Credit Document, or (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under any Credit Document (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or the relevant forms pursuant to FATCA, as applicable, that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate on behalf of such partners. In addition, if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and 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) to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. If a Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax. Furthermore, any recipient that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable non-United States withholding tax with respect to any payments under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, such non-United States withholding. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender will deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8IMY, Form W-9 and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement, or such Lender shall immediately notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.04(a), but subject to Section 13.04(a) and (b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, each Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law or the administration or official interpretation thereof, to deduct or withhold taxes imposed by any relevant taxing authority from interest, Fees or other amounts payable under any Credit Document to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrowers the relevant documentation and certification to establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding.

(c) If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other recipient of a payment under any Credit Document determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as

to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the relevant Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the relevant recipient, 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 the relevant recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the recipient in the event the recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require any such recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(b) On and as of the date of the Initial Borrowing Date, and after giving effect to the Transaction and to all Indebtedness (including the Loans) being incurred or assumed on such date, the U.S. Borrower on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries will be Solvent.

(c) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.05(a), and except for the Indebtedness incurred under this Agreement, there were as of the Initial Borrowing Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(d) The Projections delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the Effective Date have been prepared in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions, and there are no statements or conclusions in the Projections which are based upon or include information known to either Borrower to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account material information known to either Borrower regarding the matters reported therein. On the Effective Date, the Borrowers believe that the Projections are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results included in such Projections.

(e) In the case of representations and warranties made after the Initial Borrowing Date only, since March 31, 2010, but for this purpose treating the Transaction as if same had been consummated prior thereto, there has been no change in the business, assets, operations or financial condition of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) On the Initial Borrowing Date, there has been no Company Material Adverse Effect.

8.06. Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened (i) on the Initial Borrowing Date with respect to the Transaction or any Document or (ii) that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

8.07. True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Documents) for purposes of, or in connection with, this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided, it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 8.07, such factual information shall not include the Projections, any estimates (including financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information) or any pro forma financial information or information of a general economic or general industry nature.

8.08. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) All proceeds of the Term Loans will be used by the Borrowers to finance the Acquisition and the Refinancing and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction.

(b) All proceeds of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans will be used for the working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries; provided that (x) not more than an amount acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion of the proceeds from Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans may be used for the purposes described in Section 8.08(a) and (y) the proceeds of Swingline Loans shall not be used to refinance then outstanding Swingline Loans.

(c) No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

8.09. Tax Returns and Payments. The U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all U.S. Federal tax returns, and all other material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by the U.S. Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for the periods covered thereby. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due, other than those that are being contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and provided for on the financial statements of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. There is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of each Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

8.10. Compliance with ERISA. (a) Each Plan is in compliance in form and operation with its terms and with ERISA and the Code (including without limitation the Code provisions compliance with which is necessary for any intended favorable tax treatment) and all other applicable laws and regulations, except where any failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (x) has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) of the Code and that the applicable trust qualifies for exemption from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code or an application for such a letter has been filed within the remedial amendment period and is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto, or (y) is comprised of a master or prototype plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the IRS, and to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, nothing has occurred since the date of such determination that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect such determination (or, in the case of a Plan with no determination, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, nothing has occurred that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the issuance of a favorable determination letter or otherwise materially adversely affect such qualification). No ERISA Event has occurred other than as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) There exists no Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to any Plan that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) To the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, no Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization under Title IV of ERISA. None of the U.S. Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability with respect to a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and, if each of the U.S. Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate were to withdraw in a complete withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan as of the date this assurance is given or deemed given, the aggregate withdrawal liability that would be incurred would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) To the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, there are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) or, which would reasonably be expected to be asserted successfully against any Plan and, if so asserted successfully, would reasonably be expected either singly or in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) The U.S. Borrower, and to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, any ERISA Affiliate have made all material contributions to or under each Plan and Multiemployer Plan required by law within the applicable time limits prescribed thereby, the terms of such Plan or Multiemployer Plan, respectively, or any contract or agreement requiring contributions to a Plan or Multiemployer Plan save where any failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Except as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, (x) neither the U.S. Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4062(e) of ERISA or withdrawn as a “substantial employer” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(2) of ERISA) from a Plan so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA, and (y) neither the U.S. Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability under Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

(g) Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, and all contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made. No Foreign Pension Plan is a “registered pension plan” as such term is defined under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

8.11. Security Documents. (a) The provisions of the U.S. Guaranty and Collateral Agreement are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties in the U.S. GCA Collateral described therein. In the case of pledged capital interest described in the U.S. Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, when Stock Certificates representing such pledged capital interest are delivered to the Collateral Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the U.S. Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements specified in Schedule 8.11(a) in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified in Schedule 8.11(a), the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors will have a fully perfected lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest in all of the UCC Financing Collateral, subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens. The recordation of (x) the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. patents and (y) the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. trademarks in the respective form attached to the U.S. Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, in each case in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, will create, as may be perfected by such recordation, a perfected security interest in the United States trademarks and patents covered by the U.S. Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, and the recordation of the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. Copyrights in the form attached to the U.S. Guaranty and Collateral Agreement with the United States Copyright Office, together with filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the U.S. Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, will create, as may be perfected by such filings and recordation, a perfected security interest in the United States copyrights covered by the U.S. Guaranty and Collateral Agreement.

(b) The provisions of the Canadian Guaranty and Collateral Agreement are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties in the Canadian GCA Collateral described therein, and upon filing PPSA financing statements in the appropriate jurisdictions the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, will have a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest in all of the PPSA Filing Collateral and IP Rights that constitute Canadian GCA Collateral, subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens.

(c) Each Mortgage, when executed and delivered, and for Mortgaged Property located in British Columbia, registered in the applicable land title office in British Columbia, will create, as security for the obligations purported to be secured thereby, a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in and mortgage lien on the respective Mortgaged Property in favor of the Collateral Agent (or such other trustee as may be required or desired under local law) for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, superior and prior to any Person (except Permitted Encumbrances related thereto).

8.12. Properties. All Real Property owned or leased by the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries as of the Initial Borrowing Date with a fair market value of at least $10,000,000,

and the nature of the interest therein, is correctly set forth in Schedule 8.12. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to or valid leasehold interests, as applicable, in (i) all properties that are necessary or used in the ordinary course of business, except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and (ii) all Real Property listed on Schedule 8.12, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

8.13. Subsidiaries. On and as of the Initial Borrowing Date, the U.S. Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 8.13. Schedule 8.13 sets forth, as of the Initial Borrowing Date, the percentage ownership (direct and indirect) of the U.S. Borrower in each class of capital stock or other Equity Interests of each of its Subsidiaries and also identifies the direct owner thereof.

8.14. Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property, except such non-compliances as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.15. Investment Company Act. Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

8.16. Environmental Matters. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and except as set forth on Schedule 8.16: (a) each of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and has obtained and is in compliance with the terms of any permits required under such Environmental Laws; (b) there are no Environmental Claims pending or to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened, against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries; (c) no Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, has been recorded or to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened under any Environmental Law with respect to any Real Property owned by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries; (d) neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Material Subsidiaries has contractually agreed to assume or accept responsibility, for any liability of any other Person under any Environmental Law; and (e) there are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences with respect to the past or present business, operations, properties or facilities of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective predecessors, that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Environmental Claim against the U.S. Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any liability of the U.S. Borrower or its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law. This Section 8.16 sets forth the sole representations and warranties of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries with respect to environmental matters.

8.17. Employment and Labor Relations. Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (i) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, threatened against any of them, before the National Labor Relations Board or similar agency or entity governing labor relations of any Subsidiary, and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so pending against the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, threatened against any of them, (ii) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, threatened against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) no union representation question exists with respect to the employees of the U.S. Borrower or any of its

Subsidiaries, (iv) no equal employment opportunity charges or other claims of employment discrimination are pending or, to the Borrowers’ knowledge, threatened against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (v) no wage and hour department investigation has been made of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except (with respect to any matter specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.18. Intellectual Property, etc. Each of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns or has the right to use all the patents, trademarks, domain names, service marks, trade names, copyrights, inventions, trade secrets, proprietary information and know-how of any type, whether or not written (including, but not limited to, rights in computer programs and databases) and formulas, or rights with respect to the foregoing, (collectively, the “IP Rights”) that are necessary for the operation of their respective businesses without any known conflict with the IP Rights of any other Person, except to the extent any rights of others which, or the failure to so own or have which, as the case may be, could reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.19. Representations and Warranties in Acquisition Agreement. On the Initial Borrowing Date, all representations and warranties made by the Target in the Acquisition Agreement that are material to the interests of the Lenders are true and correct, but only to the extent that U.S. Borrower has the right (without regard to any notice requirement) to terminate its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement (or would be permitted to decline to consummate the Acquisition) as a result of a breach of such representation and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement.

8.20. Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Etc. Neither of the advance of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., as amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Patriot Act. Furthermore, none of the Borrowers or their Affiliates (a) is or will become a “blocked person” as described in the Executive Order, the Trading With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or (b) engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked person” or in any manner violative of any such order. Each Credit Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Credit Parties, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.20, the provisions of this Section shall apply to the Canadian Credit Parties only to the extent it does not violate the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act.

SECTION 9. Affirmative Covenants. Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that on and after the Effective Date and until the Total Commitment and all Letters of Credit have terminated and the Loans, Notes and Unpaid Drawings (in each case together with interest thereon), Fees and all other Obligations (other than indemnities described in Section 13.13 and reimbursement obligations under Section 13.01 which, in either case, are not then due and payable) incurred hereunder and thereunder, are paid in full:

102

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.01(a), (b) or (g) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the U.S. Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Borrower’s website on the Internet; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the U.S. Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that: (i) the U.S. Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or any Lender that requests the U.S. Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and (ii) the U.S. Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent and each Lender of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents.

(d) The Borrowers agree that each action required by clauses (b) through (d) of this Section 9.11 shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 60 days after such action is requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (as such date me be extended at the sole discretion of the Administration Agent); provided that, in no event will U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries be required to take any action, other than using its best efforts, to obtain consents from third parties with respect to its compliance with this Section 9.11.

SECTION 12. The Administrative Agent.

12.01. Appointment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint MSSF as Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 12 and Section 13.01, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include MSSF in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Agents or any other Person acting as an agent, attorney-in-fact or mandatary for the Agents under this Agreement or under any of the Credit Documents, each Lender (for itself and for all other Secured Creditors that are Affiliates of such Lender) and each Agent hereby (i) irrevocably appoints and constitutes (to the extent necessary) and confirms the constitution of (to the extent necessary), the Collateral Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (in such capacity, the “fondé de pouvoir”) within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec for the purposes of entering and holding on their behalf, and for their benefit, any Liens, including hypothecs (“Hypothecs”), granted or to be granted by any Credit Party on movable or immovable property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec to secure obligations of any Credit Party under any bond issued by any Credit Party and exercising such powers and duties which are conferred upon the Collateral Agent in its capacity as fondé de pouvoir under any of the Hypothecs; and (ii) appoints (and confirms the appointment of) and agrees that the Collateral Agent, acting as agent for the applicable Secured Creditors, may act as the custodian, registered holder and mandatary (in such capacity, the “Custodian”) with respect to any bond that may be issued and pledged from time to time for the benefit of the applicable Secured Creditors. Each applicable Secured Creditor shall be entitled to the benefits of any charged property covered by any of the Hypothecs and will participate in the proceeds of realization of any such charged property, the whole in accordance with the terms thereof.

The said constitution of the Collateral Agent as fondé de pouvoir (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) and as Custodian with respect to any bond that may be issued and pledged by any Credit Party from time to time for the benefit of the applicable Secured Creditors shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by any assignee (for itself and any Affiliates of such assignee) by the execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act Respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons (Québec), each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may purchase, acquire and be the holder of any bond issued by any Credit Party. Each of the Credit Parties hereby acknowledges that any such bond shall constitute a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec.

127

The Collateral Agent herein appointed as fondé de pouvoir and as Custodian shall have the same rights, powers and immunities as the Agents as stipulated in this Section 12 of the Credit Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. Without limiting the effect of the preceding provisions of this clause, the provisions of Section 12.09 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the resignation and appointment of a successor to the Collateral Agent acting as fondé de pouvoir and as Custodian

12.02. Nature of Duties. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, the Lead Arrangers and the Documentation Agents are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that the Lead Arrangers and the Documentation Agents shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 12.06 and 13.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Lead Arrangers and the Documentation Agents shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

12.03. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

12.04. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled

128

to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

12.05. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

12.06. Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

12.07. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Majority Lenders”, “Required Lenders,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

12.08. Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

129

Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 then exists, the U.S. Borrower. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the U.S. Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the U.S. Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the U.S. Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

12.10. Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors. In addition, each Lender, for the benefit of all parties to this Agreement, authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the intercreditor agreements required in connection with the issuance of Permitted First Lien Notes and Permitted Second Lien Notes (which interecreditor agreements shall be deemed to constitute Security Documents for all purposes of this Agreement) and any amendments to the Security Documents that may be necessary in connection therewith for the benefit of the Lenders and the Secured Creditors. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain

130

perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 10.02, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 13.12) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents or the last sentence of each of Sections 10.01 and 10.02. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10; provided that any Lender that does not respond to such request within fifteen days of it being made by the Collateral Agent shall have deemed to have confirmed the Collateral Agent’s authority to release the Collateral.

(c) Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agents and each Secured Creditor hereby agree that (i) no Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Creditors in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised by the Collateral Agent and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent or on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for, and representative of, the Secured Creditors (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 12.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

12.11. Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a

131

specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.

13.01. Payment of Expenses, etc. (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally hereby agree to: (i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (x) the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent, one counsel in each relevant local jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel) incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with its or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement, (y) the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in connection with the Back-Stop Arrangements entered into by such Persons and (z) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that in the absence of conflicts, reimbursement of legal fees and disbursements shall be limited to the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel (and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel, if applicable) for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, such counsel to be selected by the Administrative Agent; (ii) pay and hold the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, excise and other similar documentary taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)) to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, affiliates (including, without limitation, controlling persons), successors, partners, representatives, trustees and assignees (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages (including, without limitation, consequential damages), penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including documented fees, disbursements, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel and one local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction to such Indemnified Persons (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses in which case each such Person may retain its own counsel)) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the U.S. Borrower or

132

any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law (including applicable permits thereunder), or any Environmental Claim asserted against the U.S. Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that no Credit Party shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person; provided further that the liabilities arising solely pursuant to clause (iii)(b) of this Section 13.01(a), shall not include any liabilities that would not have arisen but for the execution of this Agreement or any other Credit Document. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(b) To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person 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 Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

13.02. Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.04(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

13.03. Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier or other electronic cable communication) and mailed, telecopied or electronic transmission or delivered: if to any Credit Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents; if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule 1.01(b); and if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as

133

shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telecopied, e-mailed or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the overnight courier or sent by telecopier or electronic transmission, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Borrower, as the case may be.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. Each of the Administrative Agent, and the U.S. Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

13.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, neither Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may, without consent or notice, grant participations to Eligible Transferees in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the 2017 Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or a mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of (x) the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under all the Security Documents or (y) the guarantees under the U.S. Guaranty and the Canadian Guaranty supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. To the extent that a participation would at the time of participation directly cause increased costs under Sections 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such participation, then the Borrowers shall not be obliged to pay such increased costs.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related outstanding

134

Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to any existing Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund, provided, that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default then exists and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower may otherwise agree) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees, each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the applicable Borrowers for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ joint and several expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and the Syndication Date has theretofore occurred, the U.S. Borrower, shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); (iv) the consent of each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be required in connection with any such assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Obligations) (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (v) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of one or more concurrent assignments by or to investment funds managed or advised by the same investment advisor or an affiliated investment advisor). To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the U.S. Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) and such other documentation described in Section 5.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) The U.S. Borrower shall also be entitled to purchase (from Lenders) outstanding principal of Term Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15, which purchases shall be evidenced by assignment from the respective Lender to the U.S. Borrower. All Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.15 shall be immediately and automatically cancelled and retired, and the U.S. Borrower shall in no event become a Lender hereunder. To the extent of any assignment to the U.S. Borrower as described in this clause (c), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to the assigned Term Loans.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank in support of borrowings made

135

by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank or central bank, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (d) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(e) Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitments and/or Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 13.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

13.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06. Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that (i) if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations pursuant to Section 13.04, other than, except as permitted pursuant to Section 2.15, to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall apply).

136

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

13.07. Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP and Canadian GAAP, as applicable, consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the U.S. Borrower to the Lenders); provided that, (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all such financial statements shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein or in any other Credit Document shall be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC 825 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof and (ii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis.

(b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees (other than Drawing Fees) hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to the Prime Lending Rate or clause (i) of the definition of Canadian Prime Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable.

(c) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or Fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

13.08. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY MORTGAGE, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, EACH OF THE BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWERS IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b) EACH OF THE BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof without the consent of the other Credit Parties party thereto or the Required Lenders), provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than, except with respect to following clause (i), a Defaulting Lender) (with Obligations being directly affected in the case of following clauses (i)(y) and (vi) or whose Obligations are being extended in the case of following clause (i)(x)), (i)(x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend beyond the 2017 Revolving Loan Maturity Date the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit, (y) or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) release all or substantially all of (x) the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under all the Security Documents or (y) the guarantees under the U.S. Guaranty and the Canadian Guaranty, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.12(a) (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Term Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments on the Effective Date), (iv) reduce the “majority” voting threshold specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Effective Date) or (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by either Borrower of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or a mandatory repayment of Loans shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of each Issuing Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (3) without the consent of the Swingline Lender, alter the Swingline Lender’s rights or obligations with respect to Swingline Loans, (4) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the then Administrative Agent, (5) without the consent of the then Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent, (6) except as permitted pursuant to Section 2.16 and in cases where additional extensions of term loans and/or revolving loans are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the A Term Loans, B Term Loans, the 2016 Revolving Loans and the 2017 Revolving Loans pursuant to this Agreement on the Effective Date, without the consent of the Majority Lenders of each Tranche which is being allocated a lesser prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction as a result of the actions described below, alter the required application of any prepayments or repayments (or commitment reduction), as between the various Tranches, pursuant to Section 5.02(h) (it being understood, however, that (x) the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction, so long as the application, as amongst the various Tranches, of any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not altered and (y) any conversion of any Tranche of Loans into another Tranche of Loans hereunder in like principal amount shall not be considered a “prepayment” or “repayment” for purposes of this clause (6)), or (7) without the consent of the Required Extended Revolving Lenders, the Required Non-Extending Revolving Lenders or the Majority Lenders of the respective Tranche affected thereby, amend the definition of Required Extended Revolving Lenders, the Required Non-Extending Revolving Lenders or Majority Lenders, respectively (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Majority Lenders on substantially the same

139

basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Effective Date), or (8) reduce the amount of, or extend the date of, any Scheduled Repayment without the consent of the Majority Lenders of the respective Tranche of Term Loans.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrowers shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below and/or in connection with a Defaulting RL Lender, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the Borrowers, if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Tranches of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s or Defaulting RL Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment) and/or repay each Tranche of outstanding Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent and/or cash collateralize its applicable RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit of Outstandings, in accordance with Sections 4.02(b) and/or 5.01(b), provided that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that the Borrowers shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by each Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.04) in full of this principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement and (y) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(d) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement A Term Loans or Replacement B Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all outstanding A Term Loans (the “Refinanced A Term Loans”) or B Term Loans (the “Refinanced B Term Loans”), as the case may be, with a replacement “A” term loan tranche denominated in Dollars (the

140

“Replacement A Term Loans”) or a replacement “B” term loan tranche denominated in Dollars (the “Replacement B Term Loans”), respectively, hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement A Term Loans or Replacement B Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced A Term Loans or Refinanced B Term Loans, as the case may be, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement A Term Loans or Replacement B Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced A Term Loans or Refinanced B Term Loans, as the case may be, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement A Term Loans or Replacement B Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced A Term Loans or Refinanced B Term Loans, as the case may be, at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans), and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement A Term Loans or Replacement B Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement A Term Loans or Replacement B Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced A Term Loans or Refinanced B Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.12, (x) Security Documents (including any Additional Security Documents) and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the relevant Borrower or Borrowers without the need to obtain the consent of any other Person if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such Security Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (y) if following the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and any Credit Party shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit Documents (other than the Security Documents), then the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clauses (a) or (e) above of this Section 13.12, (i) the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Additional Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14, enter into an Incremental Amendment, provided that after the execution and delivery by the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Additional Lender of such Incremental Amendment, such Incremental Amendment may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of clause (a) above of this Section 13.12.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, only the Required Extended Revolving Lenders shall have the ability to waive, amend, supplement or modify the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.08 (or the defined terms to the extent used therein but not as used in any other Section of this Agreement) or Article 11 (solely as it relates to Section 10.08).

13.13. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

13.14. Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

141

contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

13.15. Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans, except under Section 5.04(a). With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall allow the Borrowers to inspect the Register at any time upon reasonable prior notice to the extent such inspection is reasonably determined by the Borrowers to be necessary to establish the relevant Commitments, Loans or other obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The Administrative Agent shall allow the Borrowers to inspect the Register at any time upon reasonable notice. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. Without duplication with Section 13.01, the Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15.

13.16. Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the U.S. Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body or self-regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors or in connection with pledges or assignments in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank permitted under Section 13.04(d), (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such

142

Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16 and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16.

(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

13.17. Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act, Pub. L. 109-177 (signed into law March 9, 2009) (as amended from time to time, the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Act.

13.18. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the relevant Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

13.19. Judgment Currency. (a) The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in the respective Available Currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the respective Issuing Lender or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as 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 day on which the judgment is given (such 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

143

and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

13.20. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Lenders and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 13.20, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. The Borrowers agree that nothing in this Agreement or other Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Party, on the one hand, and such Borrowers, their stockholders or their Affiliates, on the other. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Parties have assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrowers, their stockholders or their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Parties have advised, are currently advising or will advise the Borrowers, their stockholders or their Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrowers except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and other Credit Documents and (y) each Lender Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrowers, their management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that they have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate and that they are responsible for making their own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrowers agree that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Borrowers, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
