Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the sum of the Aggregate Total Exposure would exceed the total Commitments.
(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
(d) If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.
Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions (a) If any Capital Stock shall be issued by the US Borrower (other than as set forth below with respect to Excluded Proceeds) or (ii) if any Indebtedness shall be incurred by any Group Member, excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2 as in effect on the Closing Date (except Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.2(g)(i)(x)), then on the date of such issuance or incurrence, the Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid, by an amount equal to, in the case of an issuance of Capital Stock, 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, or in the case of Indebtedness, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds, other than any Excluded Proceeds, of such issuance or incurrence, as set forth in Section 2.13(d). The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the issuance of any equity securities by any entity whose equity securities are pledged pursuant to the Guarantee and US Collateral Agreement or the Canadian Collateral Agreement, or a consent to the incurrence of any Indebtedness by any Group Member.
(b) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, Purchase Price Refund or Recovery Event then, except as provided in the following sentence, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, on the date of receipt by such Group Member of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid, by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, as set forth in Section 2.13(d); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales and Recovery Events that may be excluded from the foregoing requirement pursuant to one or more Reinvestment Notices and pending reinvestment at any given time shall not exceed $40,000,000 and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date the Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid, by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event, as set forth in Section 2.13(d).

Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the US Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in clause (b) above with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received from dispositions permitted by Section 7.5(e), amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and Commitment reductions made pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans and, second, to the repayment of the Revolving Credit Loans, as provided in Section 2.19. Any repayment of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not result in a reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments.
(e) If at any time the Dollar Equivalent of the total aggregate amount of the Revolving US/CA Extensions of Credit exceeds the Total Revolving Credit US/CA Commitments, the Borrowers shall repay Revolving Credit US/CA Loans and/or Swing Line Loans to such extent; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit US/CA Loans and Swing Line Loans is less than such excess (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrowers shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If at any time the total aggregate amount of the Revolving CA Extensions of Credit exceeds the Total Revolving Credit CA Commitments, the Canadian Borrower shall repay Revolving Credit CA Loans and/or Swing Line Loans to such extent; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit CA Loans and Swing Line Loans to the Canadian Borrower is less than such excess (because L/C Obligations of the Canadian Borrower constitute a portion thereof), the Canadian Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace its outstanding Letters or Credit and/or deposit an amount in a cash collateral account established with the Canadian Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Canadian Agent.
(f) If at any time the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of the Total Extensions of Credit exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrowers shall repay Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swing Line Loans to such extent; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans is less than such excess (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrowers shall to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Termination and Reduction of Commitments (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Swingline Commitments of one or more Swingline Lenders without any reduction or termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of any Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $25,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Swingline Commitment of any Swingline Lender if, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the sum of the outstanding Swingline Loans of such Swingline Lender would exceed its Swingline Commitment.
(c) The Borrower shall notify the Managing Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Managing Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Managing Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control with respect to CFC, the Managing Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, may, by notice to the Borrower, terminate the Commitments, such termination to be effective as of the date set forth in such notice for the termination of the Commitments but in no event earlier than one Business Day following the date such notice was delivered to the Borrower.

Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit 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 Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Term Loans or any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the 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 Credit Commitments of the applicable Class and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit 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 Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans and/or modifying any prepayment premium or call protection in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined below) shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted, it being understood that an Extension may be in the form of an increase in the amount of any outstanding Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments otherwise satisfying the criteria set forth below), so long as the following terms are satisfied:
(i) except as to interest rates, fees and final and extended maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates;
(ii) 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 (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer;
(iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, and the maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall not be shorter than the maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby;
(iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate (x) on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata or a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary repayments or prepayments hereunder and (y) on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer;
(v) if the aggregate principal amount of the Class of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Credit 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 Credit Commitments of such Class, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Credit 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 Credit Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer;
(vi) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing; and
(vii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and no Lender shall be obligated to extend its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments unless it so agrees.
(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the 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 Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit 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 2.05, 2.12 and 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15.
(c) 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 Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of the relevant L/C Issuer (if such L/C Issuer is being requested to issue letters of credit with respect to the Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments). All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes in respect of Revolving Credit 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 Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15 (and to the extent any such amendment is consistent with the terms of this Section 2.15 (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to such amendment, and no such consent of the Administrative Agent shall be necessary to have such amendment become effective).
(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (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 2.15; provided that, failure to give such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any amendment entered into to effectuate such Extension in accordance with this Section 2.15.
