“2.17 Reallocation of Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may request that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and the Lenders in their individual sole discretion may agree to) change the then current allocation of the Revolving Loan Commitment between the U.S. Commitment and the Canadian Commitment to increase or decrease the Canadian Commitment (with any such increase or decrease to be accompanied by a concurrent and equal decrease or increase, respectively, in the U.S. Commitment) (a “Canadian Commitment Reallocation”). In addition to the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.17, any such Canadian Commitment Reallocation shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the Company shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written request (in reasonable detail) at least ten (10) days prior to the requested effective date therefor (which must be a Business Day, the “Reallocation Date”) setting forth the proposed Reallocation Date and the amounts of the proposed reallocations to be effected, (ii) any such Canadian Revolver Commitment Reallocation shall increase or decrease the Canadian Commitment (and separately, the U.S. Commitment) in a respective amount equal to $2,500,000 or in increments of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received Reallocation Consents from Lenders having Canadian Commitments and U.S. Commitments being increased sufficient to effectuate such requested Canadian Commitment Reallocation, (iv) no more than two Canadian Commitment Reallocations may be requested in any twelve month period, (v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either as of the date of such request or on the Reallocation Date (both immediately before and after giving effect to such Canadian Commitment Reallocation), (vi) any increase in the Canadian Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall result in a dollar-for-dollar decrease in the U.S. Commitment, and any decrease in the Canadian Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall result in a dollar-for-dollar increase to the U.S. Commitment, (vii) in no event shall the Canadian Commitment plus the U.S. Commitment, at any time, exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, (viii) the Canadian Commitment shall at no time exceed $25,000,000, and (ix) upon giving effect to such Canadian Commitment Reallocation, no Overadvance would exist or would result therefrom which will not be prepaid concurrently with or prior to such Canadian Commitment Reallocation. The Company’s written request for a Canadian Commitment Reallocation shall be a deemed representation and certification by the Company to the Administrative Agent as to the Credit Parties’ compliance with preceding clauses (v) and (ix) above, which certification shall be deemed recertified to the Administrative Agent by the Company on and as of the Reallocation Date. If, at any time, as a result of a Canadian Commitment Reallocation, the Canadian Commitment will be greater than $20,000,000, as a further condition precedent to such Canadian Commitment Reallocation, the Administrative Agent shall have received from Canadian counsel to the Canadian Credit Parties an opinion addressed to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Canadian Lenders to be dated as of such Reallocation Date and to be issued by counsel and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Lenders of any request for a Canadian Commitment Reallocation made by the Borrowers. Each Lender electing to increase or decrease its U.S. Commitment or Canadian Commitment, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent within seven (7) days after its receipt of such notice of its election and the maximum amount of the respective Revolving Commitment reallocations to which it would agree (each a “Reallocation Consent”); it being acknowledged and agreed that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to agree to any such reallocation of its Revolving Loan Commitment (and no consent by any Lender to any such reallocation on one occasion shall be deemed require consent to any future reallocation), (ii) other than the Lenders consenting to such Canadian Commitment Reallocation, no consent of any other Lender shall be required; (iii) the failure of any Lender to affirmatively consent to participate in any such reallocation on or prior to the seventh day after its receipt of such notice thereof shall be deemed to constitute an election by such Lender to not participate in any such reallocation. The Administrative Agent shall not effect any Canadian Commitment Reallocation unless and until it has received Reallocation Consents from Lenders with U.S. Commitments and Canadian Commitments, as applicable, in an aggregate amount equal to the requested Canadian Commitment Reallocation and executed Assignment and Assumption Agreements, as and to the extent applicable, from the relevant Lenders. If at the end of such seven day period, (1) the Administrative Agent receives Reallocation Consents of Lenders in an aggregate amount of more than the requested reallocation amounts, each such consenting Lender’s U.S. Commitment or Canadian Commitment, as applicable, shall be increased or decreased on a pro rata basis based on the respective U.S. Commitment or Canadian Commitment, as applicable, of the participating Lenders or (2) the Administrative Agent receives Reallocation Consents of Lenders in an aggregate amount of less than the requested reallocation amounts the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower which will advise the Administrative Agent if it wishes to consummate the reallocation of such lesser amount or, alternatively, withdraw its reallocation request. If the conditions set forth in this Section 2.17 are not satisfied on the applicable Reallocation Date (or, to the extent such conditions relate to an earlier date, such earlier date), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company in writing that the requested Canadian Commitment Reallocation will not be effectuated. On each Reallocation Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the consenting Lenders and the Company, on or before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), by telecopier, e-mail or telex, of the occurrence of the Canadian Commitment Reallocation to be effected on such Reallocation Date, the amount of Revolving Loans held by each consenting Lender as a result thereof, the amount of the U.S. Commitment of each consenting U.S. Lender and the amount of the Canadian Commitment of each consenting Canadian Lender as a result thereof. The respective ratable and pro rata shares of the Lenders shall thereafter, to the extent applicable, be determined based on such amounts (subject to any subsequent changes thereto).”

1.4 Section 2.18 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement immediately following Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement to read as follows:

2.18 Defaulting Lender.

(a) Reallocation of RL Percentage; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or participate in Loans or Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent may exclude the Commitments and Loans of any Defaulting Lender(s) from the calculation of the RL Percentage. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Credit Document, except as provided in Section 13.12.

(b) Payments; Fees. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Credit Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Administrative Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent, Non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. The Administrative Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings, or readvance the amounts to the Borrowers hereunder. No Lender shall be entitled to receive or accrue any fees under Section 4.01(a) for and with respect to the period of time during which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fees on the unfunded portion of the U.S. Commitment and/or Canadian Commitment, as applicable, of any such Lender which would have otherwise accrued for and with respect to the period of time during which it is a Defaulting Lender. While any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Lender’s unfunded portion of its U.S. Commitment and/or Canadian Commitment, as applicable, shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 4.01(a). If any Letter of Credit Outstandings owing to a Defaulted Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be paid to such Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to Letter of Credit Outstandings that are not reallocated.

(c) Cure. The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, the RL Percentage shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and Loans, and all outstanding Loans, Letters of Credit and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted RL Percentage. Unless expressly agreed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of a Letter of Credit or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

1.5 Section 3.06 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows

“3.06 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR) or Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Lender or Issuing Lender to any Taxes with respect to any Loan, Credit Document, Letter of Credit or participation in any Letter of Credit (except for Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Lender, Issuing Lender or interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting any Loan, Credit Document, Letter of Credit, participation in any Letter of Credit, or Commitment;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or Commitment, or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Company by any Lender or Issuing Lender (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers will, jointly and severally, pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered in connection therewith. Any Lender or Issuing Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06(a), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Company, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Company by such Lender or Issuing Lender (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06(a) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

(b) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in any Letter of Credit, to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s and holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Company by any Lender or Issuing Lender (a copy of which certificate shall be

sent by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered. Any Lender or Issuing Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06(b), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Company, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Company by such Lender or Issuing Lender (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06(b) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

(c) Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that the Lender or Issuing Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

1.6 Section 5.04(d)(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated such that the first sentence reads as follows:

“(d) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.”

1.7 Section 5.04(d)(ii)(3) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the reference to “W-BEN” appearing therein and to substitute “W-8BEN” therefor.

1.8 Section 5.04(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following paragraph so that it immediately precedes the final paragraph of the section:

shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.”

1.9 Section 5.04(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(e) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Credit Party or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04, it shall pay to the Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Party under this Section 5.04 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, 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 the Credit Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, notwithstanding any change in GAAP after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date which would have the effect of treating leases properly accounted for as an operating lease prior to such accounting change as a capital lease after giving effect to any such accounting change, for all purposes of calculating Indebtedness for any purpose under this Agreement, the Credit Parties shall continue to make such determinations and calculations with respect to all leases (whether then in existence or thereafter entered into) in accordance with GAAP (as it relates to such issue) as in effect prior to such change and consistent with their past practices; provided further that if Holdings notifies the Administrative Agent that Holdings requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies Holdings that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.”
