Each U.S. Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the U.S. Borrowing Base or the U.S. Commitment at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any U.S. Borrower), then each U.S. Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from any Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the

- 61 -

purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing U.S. Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01(a) or (b), Section 7.03 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against any Borrowing Base (which reserves shall reduce such then existing Borrowing Base in an amount equal to such reserves).

(e) In the event that the Borrowers are unable to comply with the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans set forth in Section 7 (including, without limitation, the respective Borrowing Base limitations set forth in Section 7.03), the Lenders, subject to the immediately succeeding proviso, hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, for the account of the U.S. Lenders, to make U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) or, for the account of the Canadian Lenders, to make Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrower, in either case, solely in the event that the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations, or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Credit Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, expenses and Fees, which U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans and Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans may only be made as Base Rate Loans, in the case of such Loans to any U.S. Borrower, and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in the case of such Loans made to the Canadian Borrower, respectively (each, an “Agent Advance”), for a period commencing on the date the Administrative Agent first receives a Notice of Borrowing requesting an Agent Advance until the earliest of (x) the twentieth Business Day after such date, (y) the date the respective Borrowers are again able to comply with the respective Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans, or obtains an amendment or waiver with respect thereto and (z) the date the Required Lenders instruct the Administrative Agent to cease making Agent Advances; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at the time of the making of such Agent Advance, the amount of such Agent Advance (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to (x) the U.S. Borrowers at such time, would exceed 5% of the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (y) the Canadian Borrower at such time, would exceed 5% of the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), or (II) when added to the Aggregate Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed (a) in the case of such Agent Advances to the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Commitment at such time or (b) in the case of such Agent Advances to the U.S. Borrowers, the U.S. Commitment at such time, or (III) the making of such Agent Advance would cause the aggregate amount of Agent Advances and Overadvance Loans

- 62 -

outstanding at any time to exceed the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of $15,000,000. Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and the Borrowers shall have no right whatsoever to require that any Agent Advances be made. Agent Advances will be subject to periodic settlement with the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(b).

(f) In the event that the Borrowers are unable to request a Revolving Loan because an Overadvance would result therefrom, the Lenders, subject to the immediately succeeding proviso, hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, for the account of the U.S. Lenders, to nevertheless make U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) or, for the account of the Canadian Lenders, to make Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrower (each an “Overadvance Loan”), which Overadvance Loan or any such Overadvance shall be repayable by the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, on demand by the Administrative Agent, but all such Overadvance Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Credit Documents. Unless its authority has been revoked in writing by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may require the applicable U.S. Lenders or Canadian Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the applicable Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to the Administrative Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance Loan with respect to the U.S. Borrowers, in the first instance, or the Canadian Borrowers, in the second instance, may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before any further Overadvance Loan to any of the U.S. Borrowers, in the first instance, or the Canadian Borrowers, in the second instance, is required), and (ii) the Overadvance Loan is not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed $10,000,000, in the case of the U.S. Borrowers or $2,000,000 in the case of the Canadian Borrowers, or, in any event, an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 in the case of all Borrowers; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (i) is not increased to an amount more than $10,000,000 in the case of the U.S. Borrowers and $2,000,000 in the case of the Canadian Borrower, in each instance, and (ii) does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall any Overadvance Loan be required that would cause (x) the Aggregate U.S. Borrower Exposure to exceed the U.S. Commitment, minus the LC Reserve, minus the U.S. Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement Reserve, minus the U.S. Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement Reserve, minus the Canadian Borrower’s U.S. Borrowing Base Usage, minus the U.S. Rent Reserve, minus such additional commitment reserves as may then be in effect, (y) the Aggregate Canadian Borrower Exposure to exceed the Canadian Commitment, minus the Canadian Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement Reserve, minus the Canadian Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement Reserve, minus the Canadian Priority Payables Reserve, minus the Canadian Rent Reserve, minus such additional commitment reserves as may then be in effect, or (z) the aggregate amount of Agent Advances and Overadvance Loans outstanding at any time to exceed the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of $15,000,000. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or applicable Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Credit Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

- 63 -

2.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto; provided that there is no minimum borrowing amount for Swingline Loans. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than eight (8) Borrowings of Interest Period Loans (or such greater number of Borrowings of Interest Period Loans as may be agreed to from time to time by the Administrative Agent).

2.03 Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Whenever a Borrower desires to borrow (i) Interest Period Loans hereunder, the Company, on behalf of such Borrower, shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office by no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least three Business Days’ prior to the requested date of borrowing for such Interest Period Loan or (ii) Base Rate Loans (including Agent Advances, but excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (including Agent Advances) hereunder, the Company on behalf of such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office by no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of borrowing for such Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan; provided that any such notice given later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any date shall be deemed to have been given on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing as aforesaid, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, signed by an Authorized Officer of the Company to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in the Available Currency), (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Revolving Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing constitute Agent Advances (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to make such Agent Advance), (iv) in the case of U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans, whether the Revolving Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, LIBOR Loans, (v) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto (which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.09, and (vi) in the case of Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans, whether the Revolving Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing shall consist of Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans and, if Canadian BA Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. Except in the case of Agent Advances, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) (i) Whenever a U.S. Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Company, for and on behalf of such Borrower, shall give the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing.

- 64 -

(ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.01(c), with each U.S. Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.01(c).

(c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, such Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

2.04 Disbursement of Funds.

(a) No later than 1:00 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 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b) 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(c)), each U.S. Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, 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. All such amounts will be made available in U.S. Dollars (in the case of U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans) or in Canadian Dollars (in the case of Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans), as the case may be, and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by such Lenders (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). 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 or Borrowers 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 U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally) or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and the relevant Borrower or Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the relevant U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally) or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, as the case may be but without duplication, 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

- 65 -

annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans, the cost to the Administrative Agent of acquiring overnight funds in Canadian Dollars) 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 any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

(b) Agent Advances and Overadvance Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(e) or Section 2.01(f) shall be subject to periodic settlement as follows:

(i) The amount of each U.S. Lender’s or Canadian Lender’s RL Percentage of U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans or Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans, respectively, shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of such outstanding Revolving Loans as of 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on the last Business Day of each week, or such other period specified by the Administrative Agent (each such date, a “Settlement Date”). Such Lenders shall transfer to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to such Lenders, such amounts as are necessary so that (after giving effect to all such transfers) the amount of U.S. Lender’s or Canadian Lender’s RL Percentage of U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans or Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans, respectively, made by each such Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s RL Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If a notice from the Administrative Agent of any such necessary transfer is received by a Lender on or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, then such Lender shall make transfers described above in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the day such notice was received; and if such notice is received by a Lender after 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make such transfers no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day. The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to, or without representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent, and without regard as to whether the conditions set forth in Section 7 shall then be satisfied. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees and the Lenders agree to ▇▇▇▇ their respective books and records on each Settlement Date to show at all times the dollar amount of their respective RL Percentage of all such outstanding Revolving Loans on such date.

(ii) To the extent that the settlement described in preceding clause (i) shall not yet have occurred with respect to any particular Settlement Date, upon any repayment of Revolving Loans by any Credit Party prior to such settlement, the Administrative Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to the amounts that would otherwise be made available by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(b).

- 66 -

(iii) Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Revolving Loans prior to the time when the Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid Revolving Loans, interest with respect to Revolving Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent to each Lender and the Administrative Agent in accordance with the amount of Revolving Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Revolving Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Revolving Loans are either repaid by the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or actually settled by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender as described in this Section 2.04(b).

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 U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each U.S. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “U.S. Borrower Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “U.S. Borrower Revolving Notes”), (ii) in the case of Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Canadian Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Canadian Borrower Revolving Note”), and (iii) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each U.S. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “U.S. Borrower 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, obtain, maintain or produce a Note evidencing its Loans to any Borrower shall affect, or in any manner impair, the obligations of any applicable Borrower 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 any Credit Document. 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 applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

- 67 -

2.06 Conversions.

(a) Each U.S. 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 U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of U.S. Borrower Revolving Loan; provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b) or upon payment of any costs required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11, LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the LIBOR 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) following notice by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the Company during the continuation of any Default or Event of Default (although no such notice shall be required following any Default or Event of Default under Section 11.05), Base Rate Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Interest Period Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the respective U.S. Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least (i) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (ii) in the case of conversions of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into LIBOR 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 U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans.

(b) The Canadian Borrower shall have the option to convert on any Business Day occurring on or after the Effective Date, all or a portion at least equal to the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans; provided that (i) unless accompanied by payment of any costs required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11, Canadian BA Rate Loans may be converted into Canadian Prime Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Canadian BA Rate Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Canadian BA Rate Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Canadian BA Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) Canadian Prime Rate Loans may not be converted into Canadian BA Rate Loans if a Default or an Event of Default is in existence on the date of such conversion and (iii) Borrowings of Canadian BA Rate Loans resulting from this Section 2.06 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Canadian Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time), at least three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed conversion, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation specifying the Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans to be so converted into Canadian BA Rate Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans were made and the

- 68 -

term of the proposed Borrowing of Canadian BA Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans maintained as Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Revolving Loans (including U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans and Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans) under this Agreement shall be incurred from the U.S. Lenders or the Canadian Lenders, respectively, pro rata on the basis of their U.S. Commitments or Canadian Commitments, provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from such Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective 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. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the repayment in full thereof 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 as in effect from time to time with respect to Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b) The U.S. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the repayment in full thereof 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 with respect to LIBOR Loans from time to time during such Interest Period plus LIBOR for such Interest Period.

(c) The Canadian Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Prime Rate Loan (including with respect to any Canadian BA Rate Loan converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan) from the date of Borrowing thereof (or, in the circumstances described in the immediately preceding parenthetical, from the date of conversion of the respective Canadian BA Rate Loan into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan) until the earlier of (i) the repayment in full thereof and (ii) the conversion of such Canadian Prime Rate Loan to a Canadian BA Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time with respect to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Canadian Prime Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(d) The Canadian Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Canadian BA Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the repayment in full thereof and (ii) the conversion of such Canadian BA Rate Loan to a Canadian Prime 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 for Canadian BA Rate Loans plus the Canadian BA Rate for such Interest Period.

- 69 -

(e) If so elected by the Required Lenders following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Loans and other Obligations will bear interest at a rate 200 basis points in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest (the “Default Rate”) for so long as such Event of Default remains outstanding; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 11.01 or Section 11.05, the Default Rate shall be implemented automatically without any action or vote of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Each Credit Party acknowledges that the cost and expense to Administrative Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Administrative Agent and Lenders.

(f) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the first day of each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇▇), (▇▇) in respect of each Canadian Prime Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter (commencing October 1, 2009), (iii) in respect of each Interest Period 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 (iv) 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 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 are being repaid or prepaid or the U.S. Commitment (in the case of Base Rate Loans) or the Canadian Commitment (in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans) has terminated or will be terminated concurrently with such repayment or prepayment), (y) on the Facility Termination Date (in the case of all Loans) or the Canadian Revolving Commitment Termination Date (in the case of Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans) and (z) after the Facility Termination Date (in the case of all Loans) or the Canadian Revolving Commitment Termination Date (in the case of Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans), on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

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

(h) 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 (“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 Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Administrative Agent or a the 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.

2.09 Interest Periods. At the time any Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Interest Period Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Interest Period 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 Interest Period Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period; provided that (in each case):

(a) all Interest Period Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(b) the initial Interest Period for any Interest Period Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Interest Period Loan (including, in the case of U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans, the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Interest Period Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(c) if any Interest Period for a Interest Period 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;

(d) if any Interest Period for a Interest Period 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 Interest Period 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;

(e) if the Administrative Agent so determines or if the Required Lenders so notify the Administrative Agent, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence; and

(f) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing shall be selected which extends beyond the Final Maturity Date.

If by 11:00 A.M.

2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that, with respect to clauses (i) and (iv) below, Administrative Agent shall have determined, or, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender shall have determined:

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR or Canadian BA Rate, as applicable; 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 Interest Period Loan because of (A) 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 (other than with respect to any Tax, which shall be governed solely by Section 5.04), such as, but not limited to, 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 LIBOR and/or (B) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Interest Period Loan has been made unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to such Lender adopted or changed after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the applicable eurodollar market; or

(iv) at any time that there is no market for Bankers’ Acceptances by reason of circumstances affecting the Canadian money market generally or the relevant Available Currency (other than U.S. Dollars) is not available in sufficient amounts, in either case as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clauses (i) and (iv) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the affected Borrowers and, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iv) above, to the Administrative Agent, of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other affected Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, in the event that LIBOR Loans are so affected, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the U.S. Borrowers and the U.S. 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 any Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally) or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, agree to pay to such affected Lender, upon such affected Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such affected Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such affected Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the respective affected Borrowers by such affected Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final

- 72 -

and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto), (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective affected Borrower or 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 and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above, Canadian BA Rate Loans (exclusive of any such Canadian BA Rate Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing given by the Canadian Borrower with respect to such Canadian BA Rate Loans which have not been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Canadian Borrower.

(b) At any time that any Interest Period Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the affected Lender may cause any affected Borrower to, whereupon such affected Borrower shall, either (i) if the affected Interest Period 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 such Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) or (ii) if the affected Interest Period Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, require the affected Borrower(s) to convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such LIBOR Loan or such earlier day as shall be required by applicable law) and (B) in the case of any Canadian BA Rate Loan, repay all outstanding Borrowings which include such affected Canadian BA Rate Loans in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.01.

(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, has or will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s U.S. Commitment or Canadian Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the respective U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally) or the Canadian Borrower agree to pay to such U.S. Lender or Canadian Lender, respectively, 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 applicable Borrower or Borrowers, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the applicable Borrower’s or Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

- 73 -

(d) 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 the affected Borrower or Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or 2.10(c) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the event 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.

2.11 Compensation. The U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally) agree to compensate each U.S. Lender, and the Canadian Borrower agrees to compensate each Canadian 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 Interest Period Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Interest Period 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 respective Borrower or Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (b) 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 Interest Period Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period or maturity date, as applicable, with respect thereto; (c) without limiting clause (b) above, if any prepayment of any of its Interest Period Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the respective Borrowers; or (d) as a consequence of (i) any other default by the respective Borrowers to repay Interest Period Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (ii) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate or change, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule 13.03, one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Loans made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender (including, without limitation, by designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act as such with respect to U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings and Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans); provided that, for designations made after the Effective Date, to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although if such designation results in increased costs, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the costs which would have applied in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder).

- 74 -

(b) Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, 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(b) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.13 Replacement of Lenders. (a) (i) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (ii) 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 the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender charging to any Borrower increased costs thereunder or (iii) 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 would require the unanimous approval of the Lenders and which has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Company shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), the Company shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender with respect to all, but not less than all, of its Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees (none of which may then be subject to the conditions giving rise to a right to seek compensation under any of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 or shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement and, if replaced pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (iii), such Eligible Transferee consents to such proposed change) (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; 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 Borrowers or if otherwise agreed, the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the entire Revolving Loan Commitment and all outstanding Revolving Loans of, and all participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, as applicable, by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (i) 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 Revolving Loans of the respective Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings 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 pursuant to Section 4.01, (ii) each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of

- 75 -

Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was theretofore funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender and (iii) the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was theretofore funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrowers then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) 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) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

(b) 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 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.

2.14 Increase of Revolving Loan Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date and up to 20 days prior to the Final Maturity Date, provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, may request one or more increases in the U.S. Commitment or the Canadian Commitment, respectively (each such commitment increase, a “Commitment Increase”), by notifying the Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender) of the amount of the proposed Commitment Increase. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, no Commitment Increase shall require the approval of any Lender other than any Lender (if any) providing all or part of the Commitment Increase; no Lender shall be required to provide all or part of any Commitment Increase unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion; no Commitment Increase shall (as determined separately for each of the U.S. Commitment and the Canadian Commitment) be in an amount less than $25,000,000; and the aggregate amount of all Commitment Increases pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed $160,000,000. On the date of any Commitment Increase, the Company shall certify to Administrative Agent in writing that the aggregate amount of Commitment Increases is permitted under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the Existing Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture.

- 76 -

(b) Any Commitment Increase shall be requested by the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, to the U.S. Lenders or the Canadian Lenders, respectively, in accordance with their RL Percentages in respect of the U.S. Commitment or the Canadian Commitment, as applicable, on the date that the Commitment Increase is requested. The U.S. Lenders or the Canadian Lenders, as applicable, shall have 20 Business Days to respond to any request for a Commitment Increase (by notice to the affected Borrowers and Administrative Agent) and may elect to accept all, a portion or none of their respective RL Percentages of the proposed Commitment Increase. Any applicable Lender that fails to respond to a request for a Commitment Increase by the end of such 20 Business Day period will be deemed to have declined the request for its share of the requested Commitment Increase. If any portion of a requested Commitment Increase is not provided by an applicable Lender, then the applicable Borrowers may offer any such portion to the other applicable Lenders and/or request that one or more Eligible Transferees provide such Commitment Increase. In any such case, each Person providing a portion of the requested Commitment Increase shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower(s) all such documentation as may be reasonably required by Administrative Agent to evidence such Commitment Increase.

(c) If any requested Commitment Increase is agreed to in accordance with this Section 2.14, Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall determine the effective date of such Commitment Increase (the “Commitment Increase Effective Date”). Administrative Agent, with the consent and approval of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers, shall promptly confirm in writing to the participating Lenders and/or Eligible Transferees the final allocation of such Commitment Increase and the Commitment Increase Effective Date. On the Commitment Increase Effective Date: (i) Schedule 1.01(a) shall be amended to reflect the reallocated U.S. Commitments or Canadian Commitments, as applicable; (ii) upon execution of a supplement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, each Person added as a new U.S. Lender pursuant to a Commitment Increase (a “New U.S. Lender”) shall become a U.S. Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with a U.S. Commitment as set forth on amended Schedule 1.01(a) and each Person added as a new Canadian Lender pursuant to a Commitment Increase (a “New Canadian Lender”) shall become a Canadian Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with a Canadian Commitment as set forth on amended Schedule 1.01(a); (iii) the U.S. Commitment of each existing U.S. Lender that increases its Commitment pursuant to a Commitment Increase (an “Increasing U.S. Lender”) shall be increased as reflected on such amended Schedule 1.01(a) and the Canadian Commitment of each existing Canadian Lender that increases its Commitment pursuant to a Commitment Increase (an “Increasing Canadian Lender”) shall be increased as reflected on such amended Schedule 1.01(a); and (iv) on the Commitment Increase Effective Date the applicable Lenders will settle with the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof such that, after giving effect to such settlement, each U.S. Lender (including each New U.S. Lender) will hold a portion of the U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, in each case, equal to its respective RL Percentage and each Canadian Lender (including each New Canadian Lender) will hold a portion of the Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans equal to its respective RL Percentage. If, on the date of such Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such Commitment Increase), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs

- 77 -

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. Any New U.S. Lender or New Canadian Lender shall be required to have a Commitment of not less than $5,000,000. The increase of the U.S. Commitment or Canadian Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.14 shall not require any further consent under Section 13.12 hereof, and Administrative Agent, Borrowers and Lenders shall execute any amendments to give effect to the terms of this Section 2.14 if deemed necessary by Administrative Agent.

(d) As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such Commitment Increase, the Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate signed by an two Authorized Officers of the Company upon execution of a supplement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, dated as of the Commitment Increase Effective Date, certifying that as of the Commitment Increase Effective Date (i) no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the Commitment Increase Effective Date (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date), and (iii) such Commitment Increase does not violate the terms of the Existing Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture. Borrowers agree to execute and deliver to Agent new Notes evidencing such Commitment Increase at Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s request.

2.15 Interest Act (Canada); Criminal Rate of Interest; Nominal Rate of Interest.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, solely to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that the calculation or determination of interest or any fee payable by the Canadian Borrower in respect of the Canadian Borrower Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be governed by the laws of any province of Canada or the federal laws of Canada, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, as the same shall be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time) payable by the Canadian Borrower on the Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans to any Canadian Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advances” (as defined in that section) under this Agreement or such other Credit Document lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Canadian Borrower and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lenders to the Canadian Borrower. For the purposes of this Agreement and each other Credit Document to which the Canadian Borrowers is a party, the effective annual rate of interest payable by the Canadian Borrower shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the loans on the basis of annual compounding for the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the for the account of the Canadian Borrower will be conclusive for the purpose of such determination in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

- 78 -

(b) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and with respect to Canadian Borrower only:

(i) whenever any interest or fee payable by the Canadian Borrower 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 such rate is to be ascertained and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be; and

(ii) all calculations of interest payable by the Canadian Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document are to be made on the basis of the nominal interest rate described herein and therein and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or on any other basis which gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest. The parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material difference between the stated nominal interest rates and the effective yearly rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations required to determine such effective yearly rates of interest.

2.16 Company as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes under this Agreement and each other Credit Document, and the Company hereby accepts such appointment. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Company (i) to provide the Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii) to take such action as the Company deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. It is understood that the handling of the Credit Account and the Collateral of the U.S. Borrowers, in the first case, and the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors, in the second case, in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to such Credit Parties in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of such Credit Parties in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that the Lenders shall not incur liability to any Credit Party as a result hereof. Each Credit Party expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Credit Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion as described above since the successful operation of each Credit Party is dependent on the continued successful performance of the consolidated group. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Credit Party hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Credit Party or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Credit Account and Collateral of the Borrowers as provided in this Section 2.16 or (b) the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ relying on any instructions of the Company.

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 ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it and for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise entitled to reimbursement or indemnification hereunder and has not received a satisfactory assurance that it will be paid; or

(ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from such U.S. 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).

3.02 Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) no Letter of Credit shall be issued (or required to be issued) if the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (but excluding any 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 $40,000,000 (the “Maximum Letter of Credit Amount”), (b) no Letter of Credit shall be issued (or required to be issued) at any time when the Aggregate U.S. Borrower Exposure exceeds (or would after giving effect to such issuance exceed) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time, (c) the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 6 and Section 7), (d) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and (e) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (i) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any standby Letter of Credit shall be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Final Maturity Date) and (ii) five Business Days prior to the Final Maturity Date.

3.03 Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount.

(a) Whenever the Company, for and on behalf of any U.S. Borrower, desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for the joint and several account of the U.S. Borrowers, the Company 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit C, (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 the Company to the U.S. 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 the Company, any U.S. 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

- 81 -

respective U.S. Borrower 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 Company 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 Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Lender Default exists with respect to a Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Company to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by the Defaulting Lender or Lenders, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings.

(c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 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 U.S. Lender, and each such U.S. 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 U.S. Borrowers 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 U.S. 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.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other U.S. 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 be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person and 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 U.S. Borrower, any other Credit Party, any U.S. Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The Issuing Lender may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

- 82 -

(c) The U.S. Credit Parties assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, none of Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any related documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any related documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any related documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or the related documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Credit Party (or an Affiliate thereof); errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of the Issuing Lender under the Credit Documents shall be cumulative. The Issuing Lender shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against the Credit Parties are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

(d) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the U.S. Borrowers 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 U.S. Dollars in immediately available 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 U.S. Dollars such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the 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 U.S. Borrower 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.

- 83 -

(e) 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 U.S. Dollars 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.

(f) 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.

(g) 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 Holdings 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 Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings 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.

3.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) Each U.S. Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars 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 (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by a U.S. Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by any U.S. Borrower of 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 U.S. Borrowers)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00

- 84 -

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 a U.S. Borrower 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 U.S. Borrower 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 third Business Day following the receipt by any U.S. Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence and during the continuance 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 U.S. Borrowers) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for U.S. Borrower 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 U.S. Borrowers prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it; provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the U.S. Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

(b) The joint and several obligations of the U.S. Borrowers 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 (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which any U.S. Borrower, any other Subsidiary of any U.S. Borrower or Holdings 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 U.S. 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 gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith 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. (a) 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 (a) 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 (b) 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 (except with respect to any Tax, which shall be governed solely by Section 5.04), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Company 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),

- 85 -

the U.S. Borrowers jointly and severally 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 Company, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Company 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 U.S. Borrowers.

(b) Failure or delay on the part of any Issuing Lender or Participant to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall not constitute a waiver of such Issuing Lender’s or Participant’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate an Issuing Lender or Participant pursuant to this Section 3.06 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Issuing Lender or such Participant notifies the Company of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Issuing Lender’s or Participant’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the event 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.

3.07 Cash Collateralization. If any Letter of Credit Outstanding, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that the Aggregate U.S. Borrower Exposure exceeds the U.S. Borrowing Base, (c) after the Facility Termination Date, or (d) within 30 days prior to the Final Maturity Date, then the U.S. Borrowers shall, at the Issuing Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and pay to Issuing Lender the amount of all other Letter of Credit Outstandings. If the Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, the Lenders may (and shall upon direction of the Administrative Agent) advance, as U.S. Revolving Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Facility Termination Date shall have occurred or the conditions in Section 7 are not are satisfied, including any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.03).

SECTION 4. Fees; Reductions of Commitment

4.01 Fees. (a) U.S. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of U.S. Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender for the period during which a Lender Default is in effect with respect to such Lender) in accordance with their respective RL Percentages (as determined pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof), a fee equal to the Applicable Unused Line Fee Margin times the average daily amount by which the aggregate U.S. Commitment of all U.S. Lenders exceed the sum of the principal balance of U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans and Stated Amount of Letters of Credit outstanding during any Fiscal Quarter. Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Canadian Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender for the period during which a Lender Default is in effect with respect to such Lender) in accordance with their respective RL Percentages (as

Such fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter (commencing October 1, 2009), on the Facility Termination Date, and on the Canadian Revolving Commitment Termination Date (in the case of such fees payable to the Canadian Lenders).

(b) Borrowers shall pay (i) to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective RL Percentages (as determined pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof), a fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Loans times the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit outstanding during each month, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month commencing on September 1, 2009; (ii) to Administrative Agent, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding during each month, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month commencing on September 1, 2009; and (iii) to Issuing Lender, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Fee”). During an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (i) shall be increased by 2% per annum.

4.02 Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Commitments.

4.03 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety upon the Facility Termination Date.

Any prepayment of Loans under the respective commitments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Interest Period Loans outstanding thereunder.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that no Event of Default then exists, then, subject to Section 5.02, all voluntary payments and all proceeds of Collateral to be applied to the Obligations shall be collected and applied by the

- 88 -

Administrative Agent in accordance with the instructions of the Credit Parties. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all payments and all proceeds of Collateral to be applied to the Obligations shall be applied, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, in accordance with Section 17 of the U.S. Security Agreement (with respect to payments on and Collateral securing the Obligations of the U.S. Credit Parties) and Section 10.12 of the Canadian Security Agreement (with respect to payments on and Collateral securing the Obligations of the Canadian Credit Parties).

In addition, (i) on any day on which any one or more of the following conditions shall exist, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in accordance with Section 2.01(e) or Section 2.01(f), the U.S. Borrowers (in the case of clauses (1), (3) and (4) below) and the Canadian Borrower (in the case of clause (2) below) shall repay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (ii) below in such amount as may be required to cause such conditions to cease to exist on such day:

(1) the Aggregate U.S. Borrower Exposure exceeds 100% of the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time;

(1) in the case of a repayment and/or Cash Collateralization required pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(i)(1), the U.S. Borrowers shall on such day prepay the principal of outstanding Swingline Loans, then U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans and if such condition has not then been fully remedied, Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, in each case, in such amount as may be required to cause the conditions set forth giving rise to such mandatory repayment or Cash Collateralization requirement to cease to exist on such day,

- 89 -

(2) in the case of a repayment required pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(i)(2), the Canadian Borrowers shall on such day prepay the principal of outstanding Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans, in such amount as may be required to cause the conditions giving rise to such mandatory repayment requirement to cease to exist on such day,

(3) in the case of a repayment required pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(i)(3), the U.S. Borrowers shall on such day prepay the principal of outstanding Swingline Loans in such amount as may be required to cause the conditions giving rise to such mandatory repayment requirement to cease to exist on such day, and

(4) in the case of a Cash Collateralization required pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(i)(4), the U.S. Borrowers shall on such day Cash Collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit in such amount as may be required to cause the conditions giving rise to such mandatory Cash Collateralization requirement to cease to exist on such day.

(iii) If, after giving effect to the prepayment of the applicable outstanding Loans and/or Cash Collateralization of the Letters of Credit, as applicable, any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02(b)(i) continues to exist, the U.S. Borrowers (if such condition relates to the U.S. Borrower Obligations), or the Canadian Borrowers (if such condition relates to the Canadian Borrower Obligations) shall on such day Cash Collateralize such amount of outstanding Obligations of the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, as shall be required so that the conditions giving rise to such mandatory repayment requirement cease to exist on such day.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, the ledger balance in the main U.S. Dominion Account and in the main Canadian Dominion Account, in each case, as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations (but not to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit and Qualified Secured Hedging Agreements unless an Event of Default is continuing) owing by the U.S. Credit Parties and the Canadian Credit Parties, respectively, at the beginning of the next Business Day during any Dominion Period. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists in favor of either the U.S. Credit Parties or the Canadian Credit Parties, the balance shall not accrue interest and shall be made available to the Company, for the benefit of the U.S. Borrowers, or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) during a Dominion Period, and agrees that the Administrative Agent, subject to Section 5.01(c), shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Obligations, in such manner as the Administrative Agent deems advisable; provided that absent the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent will not apply any payments or proceeds of Collateral (i) to the repayments of any LIBOR Loan if US Base Rate Loans are outstanding or (ii) to the repayment of any BA Rate Loan if Canadian Prime Rate Loans are outstanding.

- 90 -

(g) Without limiting the provisions set forth in Section 13.15, the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts on its books in the name of each Borrower (collectively, the “Credit Account”) in which each Borrower will be charged with all loans and advances made by the Lenders to the respective Borrower for the respective Borrower’s account, including the Loans, the Letter of Credit Outstandings, and the Fees, expenses and any other Obligations relating thereto. Each Borrower will be credited, in accordance with this Section 5.02 and this Section 5.03, with all amounts received by the Lenders from such Borrower or from others for its account, including, as set forth above, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied to the Obligations. In no event shall prior recourse to any Accounts or other Collateral be a prerequisite to the Administrative Agent’s right to demand payment of any Obligation upon its maturity. Further, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to perform in any respect any of the Credit Parties’ contracts or obligations relating to the Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of the Administrative Agent to record anything in the Credit Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise effect the obligations of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties to pay any amount owing by them hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. Entries made in the Credit Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Credit Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies the Administrative Agent in writing within 60 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.04 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any and all Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. If, however, a Credit Party is required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.04), each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had such deductions not been made, (ii) the Credit Party shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

- 93 -

(c) The applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.04) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority)). Payment under this Section 5.04(c) shall be made within 15 days of the date the Administrative Agent or Lender makes written demand therefor, which demand shall include a certificate setting out the calculation as to the amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification is being sought. Such certificate as to the amount of the payment or liability shall be conclusive absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) (i) Any Foreign 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 Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any such previously delivered documentation to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 5.04(d) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its Tax returns or its calculations).

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to Loans to the U.S. Borrowers, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of a Foreign Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b) (unless the respective Foreign Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and already provided the required documentation under this Section 5.04(d), which documentation remains valid), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Foreign Lender, two accurate and complete original signed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(2) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party, or

- 94 -

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest, both (x) Internal Revenue Service Form W-BEN and (y) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, or

(4) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction (if any) required to be made.

In addition, each Lender shall deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall have any obligation under this Section 5.04(d) to deliver any forms or documentation that it is not legally entitled to deliver (including without limitation, as a result of any change in treaty, law or regulation).

(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 Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04, it shall pay to the 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 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 Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (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. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(f) If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including

- 95 -

Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 5.04(g) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

5.05 Excess Resulting From Exchange Rate Change. If at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar, the Aggregate Canadian Borrower Exposure exceeds the limit of the Canadian Borrowing Base of the Canadian Borrower or any other limitations hereunder based on U.S. Dollars, the Canadian Borrower shall (x) if such excess is in an aggregate amount that is greater than or equal to $2,000,000, within two (2) Business Days of notice from the Administrative Agent, (y) if such excess is an aggregate amount that is less than $2,000,000 and such excess continues to exist in an aggregate amount less than $2,000,000 for at least five (5) Business Days, within two (2) Business Days of notice from the Administrative Agent or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, immediately (i) make the necessary payments or repayments to reduce such Canadian Borrower Obligations to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (ii) maintain or cause to be maintained with the Administrative Agent deposits as continuing collateral security for the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in such form and upon such terms as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent shall, weekly or more frequently in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, make the necessary exchange rate calculations to determine whether any such excess exists on such date and advise the Borrowers if such excess exists.

SECTION 12. The Administrative Agent.

12.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) The Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Bank of America as Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 12 and Section 13.01, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include Bank of America in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant hereto and to the Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender (including the Issuing 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, including the entry into all Credit Documents to which the Administrative Agent is intended to be a party and to accept all Security Document for the Administrative Agent’s benefit and for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through their officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) and no Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Credit Documents; (ii) execute and deliver as Administrative Agent each Credit Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Credit Document from any Credit Party or other Person; (iii) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Credit Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (iv) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (v) take any enforcement action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Credit Documents, applicable law or otherwise. Administrative Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, or whether to impose or release any reserve, and to exercise its Permitted Discretion in connection therewith, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Administrative Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.

- 148 -

(b) Without limiting the generality of paragraph (a) above, for the purposes of creating a solidarité active in accordance with Article 1541 of the Civil Code, between each Lender, taken individually, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, each Credit Party, each such Lender and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree with the Administrative Agent that each such Lender and the Administrative Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of each Credit Party in respect of all Obligations, present and future, owed by each such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent and each such Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Solidary Claim”). Each Credit Party which is not a signatory of this Agreement but is or may become a signatory to any other Credit Documents shall be deemed to have accepted the provisions contained in this paragraph by its execution of such other Credit Documents. Accordingly, but subject (for the avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code, each such Credit Party is irrevocably bound towards the Administrative Agent and each Lender in respect of the entire Solidary Claim of the Administrative Agent and such Lender. As a result of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Solidary Claim of the Administrative Agent and such Lender and the right to give full acquittance for same. The parties further agree and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral under the Security Documents shall be granted to the Administrative Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth.

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 and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, express 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. The conferral upon Administrative Agent of any right shall not imply a duty on Administrative Agent’s part to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties In respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law; and

- 149 -

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Indemnitees”) shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 13.12 and 11.02) or (ii) unless caused by its or their own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). In the event that any of the Secured Parties shall be obligated, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to make any payment to or to reimburse the Noteholder Collateral Agent or the trustee under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture for any liability, cost, expense, loss or damages, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, that are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall reimburse such Secured Party for the payment of such liability, cost, expense, loss or damages. In addition, any such Secured Party shall be entitled to reimbursement from all other Secured Parties hereunder pro rata in proportion to the relationship that their outstanding Obligations bore to the total outstanding Obligations on the Facility Termination Date regardless of whether any such reimbursement is required to be made or made by the Collateral Agent.

(c) Administrative Agent shall not be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Credit Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Credit Party or Lender of any obligations under the Credit Documents. Administrative Agent does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Credit Documents or Credit Party. No Administrative Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Lenders for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Credit Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Credit Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Credit Party or Account Debtor.

- 150 -

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, the Lead Arrangers, the Documentation Agents and the Syndication 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, the Documentation Agents and the Syndication 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, the Documentation Agents and the Syndication 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 or any other Lender, each Lender (including the Issuing Lender) and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (a) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and issuance of the Letters of Credit and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (b) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings 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 (including the Issuing 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 (including the Issuing 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, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of Holdings 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 Holdings 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. The rights and remedies conferred upon Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by applicable law. Administrative Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Credit Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.06 against all claims that could be incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any act. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders, and no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of all Lenders shall be required in the

- 151 -

circumstances described in Section 13.12, and in no event shall Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct Administrative Agent to accelerate and demand payment of Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans, nor to terminate the Commitments of one Lender without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders. In no event shall Administrative Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to applicable law or any Credit Documents or could subject any Administrative Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

12.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order, electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or document or telephone message signed, sent or otherwise made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person and upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Credit Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

12.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Credit Parties (but without limiting the indemnification obligations of the Credit Parties under any other Credit Document), the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any Agent Indemnitee) in proportion to their respective RL Percentage (as calculated pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof) (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 respective 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 Agent Indemnitees) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). In Administrative Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any such claims made against an Administrative Agent Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to Lenders. If Administrative Agent is sued by any receiver, bankruptcy trustee, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Administrative Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Administrative Agent by each Lender to the extent of its RL Percentage.

- 152 -

12.07 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacities. 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,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes” 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 respective 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.

(c) In the case of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, 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 Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Company’s consent shall not be required if a Default or 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.

- 153 -

(d) In the case of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, 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 (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.

(f) Upon a resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, the provisions of this Article (including the indemnification provisions herein) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its sub-agents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(g) Any resignation by or removal of Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, (ii) the resigning or removed Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender 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 or removal (iii) the retiring or removed Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, in such capacities with respect to any new Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans and (iv) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

- 154 -

(i) It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any applicable law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction.

If Administrative Agent so appoints a collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. Every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such agent shall run to and be enforceable by it as well as Administrative Agent. Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents as Administrative Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until appointment of a new agent.

Each Lender (including the Issuing Lender and each Lender is its capacity as the provider of a Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement) 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 (including the Issuing Lender and each Lender is its capacity as the provider of a Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement), 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 perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders (including the Issuing Lender and each Lender is its capacity as the provider of a Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement) hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to (i) release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (A) upon termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and all Letters of Credit) 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, (B) that is the subject of a sale or other disposition which the Company certifies in writing to the Administrative Agent is in compliance with Section 10.02 or a Lien which the Company certifies in writing to the Administrative Agent is a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over the Collateral Agent’s Lien (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry), (C) that does not constitute a material portion of the

- 155 -

(c) Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty. In each case as specified in this Section, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this Section 12.10.

(d) 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, in any of the Security Documents or in the Intercreditor Agreement, 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, willful misconduct or bad faith (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(e) Administrative Agent and Lenders appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If any Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

(f) Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to each Lender, when complete, copies of any field audit, examination or appraisal report prepared by or for Administrative Agent with respect to any Credit Party or Collateral (“Report”). Each Lender agrees (a) that neither Bank of America nor Administrative Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (b) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Administrative Agent or any other Person

- 156 -

performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon the Credit Parties’ books and records as well as upon representations of the Credit Parties’ officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Obligations. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of Administrative Agent furnishing a Report to such Lender.

(g) The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents, trustees or third parties appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent (and any such sub-agent, trustee or third party) may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory and indemnification provisions of this Section 12 and Section 13.01 shall apply to any such sub-agent, trustee or third party and to their respective Affiliates to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Collateral Agent.

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 thereof, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (a) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (b) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a 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.

12.12 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.01 and 13.01 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

- 157 -

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.01 and 13.01.

12.13 Action Upon Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless it has received written notice from a Lender or Credit Party specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Credit Documents or with the written consent of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate Obligations under any Credit Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against an Credit Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of proofs of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding.

12.14 Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation, determined on a pro rata basis or in accordance with Section 17 of the U.S. Security Agreement or Section 10.12 of the Canadian Security Agreement, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender and the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a pro rata basis or in accordance with Section 17 of the U.S. Security Agreement or Section 10.12 of the Canadian Security Agreement, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. No Lender shall set off against any Deposit Account without the prior consent of Administrative Agent.

12.15 Remittance of Payments and Collections.

(a) Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Administrative Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Administrative Agent and request for payment is made by Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 12:00 p.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Administrative Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such Lender under the Credit Documents.

- 158 -

(b) Failure to Pay. If any Lender fails to pay any amount when due by it to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by Administrative Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Lender to Administrative Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.13.

(c) Recovery of Payments. If Administrative Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Administrative Agent from an Credit Party and such related payment is not received, then Administrative Agent may recover such amount from each Lender that received it. If Administrative Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Credit Document must be returned to an Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to applicable law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Credit Document, Administrative Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by Administrative Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by Administrative Agent pursuant to applicable law, each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, such Lender’s pro rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the Issuing Lender or in any such proceeding.

In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which this indemnity applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries, equity holders or creditors, a third party or an Indemnified Party and whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of any other Credit Document, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems.

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, that, except to the extent expressly permitted hereby pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by Section 10.02, no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of their rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations 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 Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no participant shall have direct 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 Final 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 Revolving Loan Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Loan 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 Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent expressly permitted hereby pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by Section 10.02, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) 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.

- 163 -

(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 Revolving Loan Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i) (A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned or is managed or administered by such Lender or its parent company, directly or indirectly, or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned or is managed or administered by such other Lender or its parent company, directly or indirectly (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the Lender or by an Affiliate of such Lender or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitments have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (u) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (v) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes (or, if lost, an affidavit of loss thereof together with a customary lost note indemnification agreement in favor of the Credit Parties) by the assigning Lender 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 Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans, as the case may be, (w) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default under Section 11.01 or 11.05 or any Event of Default then exists, the Company, 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), (x) 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 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion), (y) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15 and (z) any assignments of all or a portion of a Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment or other rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be made to a Canadian Lender. 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 Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Company and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, other documentation) described in Section 5.04(d). In addition, at the time of each assignment

- 164 -

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, file any certificate or document or to furnish to the relevant non-U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such certificate or document that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction of, any Taxes, as described in Section 5.04(d). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment 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 or a gross-up under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 in excess of those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs or gross-up (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) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Company), 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 (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(d) Any Lender which assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitment 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, and 13.01), 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 Company 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.

- 165 -

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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Section 13.06(a) 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) Other than information contained in Internal Management Reports and other financial information delivered hereunder not expressly required to be prepared in accordance with GAAP by the terms of this Agreement, the financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by Holdings to the Lenders) and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time, provided 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.

(b) All computations of interest (except for interest determined based on the Canadian Prime Rate or the Canadian BA Rate, which shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days), and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days 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, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, or Fees are payable.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

13.09 Counterparts. Any Credit Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of a signature page hereto or to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement by telecopy or in “pdf” or similar format by electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

13.10 Effectiveness.

13.12 Amendment or Waiver; etc.

(a) No modification of any Credit Document, including any extension or amendment of a Credit Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders and each Credit Party party to such Credit Document; provided, however, that:

(i) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any provision in a Credit Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of the Administrative Agent;

(ii) without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any provision in a Credit Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of the Collateral Agent;

(iii) without the prior written consent of Issuing Lender, no modification shall be effective with respect to any Letter of Credit, Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit or Section 3 that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of the Issuing Lender;

(iv) without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, no modification shall be effective that would (1) increase the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender; (2) reduce the amount of, or waive or delay payment of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender or (3) extend the Final Maturity Date;

(v) without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except a Defaulting Lender), no modification shall be effective that would (1) alter Sections 1 (except to add Collateral) or 17 of the U.S. Security Agreement or Sections 2.1 (except to add Collateral) or 10.12 of the Canadian Security Agreement or this Section 13.12; (2) amend the definitions of RL Percentage, Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, modify the allocations pursuant to Section 12.14 or Section 13.06 to be other than on a pro rata basis as set forth therein; (3) increase the advance rates used in calculation of the U.S. Inventory Formula Amount, the Canadian Inventory Formula Amount, the U.S. Accounts Formula Amount or Canadian Accounts Formula Amount; (4) release all or substantially all of the Collateral except as currently contemplated by the Credit Documents; or (5) release any Credit Party from liability for any Obligations other than pursuant to a consolidation, merger, amalgamation or liquidation of such Credit Party otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 10.02(g); and

- 168 -

(vi) without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, no modification shall be effective that would amend or expand any of the following definitions, the effect of which would be to increase the amounts available for borrowing hereunder: Applicable Seasonal Percentage, Borrowing Base, Canadian Accounts Formula Amount, Canadian Inventory Formula Amount, Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory, Eligible Canadian Accounts, Eligible Canadian Inventory, Eligible U.S. Accounts, Eligible U.S. Inventory, U.S. Accounts Formula Amount or U.S. Inventory Formula Amount (including, in each case, the defined terms used therein).

(b) [Reserved].

(c) The agreement of the Credit Parties shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Credit Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Administrative Agent and/or Issuing Lender as among themselves, but the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Credit Parties of each such modification (but shall have no liability for failure to do so). Only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letters or any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedging Agreement shall be required for any modification of such agreement, and any non-Lender that is party to a Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedging Agreement shall have no right to participate in any manner in modification of any other Credit Document. Any waiver or consent granted by Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.

(d) No Credit Party will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Credit Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a pro rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

13.13 Survival. All indemnities and obligations to pay expenses and costs set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 9.02(b), 12.06, 13.01 and 13.24 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 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 jointly and severally 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 Revolving Loan 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. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the

- 169 -

principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). 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) (or deliver an affidavit of loss thereof and customary loss note indemnification agreement in favor of the Credit Parties) 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.

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 Company (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 non-public information with respect to Holdings 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 having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (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 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 assignee, pledgee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer, pledge or participation of any of the Notes or Revolving Loan Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee, pledgee or participant agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16.

(b) The Credit Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Holdings 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 Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in the United States. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the various Security Documents executed and delivered by the Credit Parties require that, among other things, all promissory notes (including, without limitation, Intercompany Notes) executed by, and capital stock and other Equity Interests in, various Persons owned by the respective Credit Party be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that each Credit Party shall be required to take all actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Credit Party is organized to create and perfect all security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents and to take all actions under the laws of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and The Netherlands to perfect the security interests in the capital stock and other Equity Interests of, and promissory notes (including, without limitation, Intercompany Notes) issued by, any Person organized under the laws of said jurisdictions (in each case, to the extent said capital stock, other Equity Interests or promissory notes are owned by any Credit Party). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent any Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes (including, without limitation, Intercompany Notes) issued by, or capital stock or other Equity Interests in, any Foreign Subsidiary of the Company or any other Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than those specified in the immediately preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that, as of the Effective Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose capital stock or other Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. The Credit Parties hereby agree that, following any reasonable request by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to do so, each Credit Party will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are determined by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to be necessary or desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such jurisdictions. If requested to do so pursuant to this Section 13.17, all such actions shall be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.17 and Section 9.10 and within the time periods set forth therein.

13.18 Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings, the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Holdings, the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

13.19 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(a) Each Credit Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Credit Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Credit Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Credit Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting

- 171 -

documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Credit Party or any authorized signatories of the Credit Parties for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii) shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Credit Parties or any authorized signatories of the Credit Parties on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Credit Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

13.20 OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT; ETC. (a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE SENIOR SECURED NOTES DOCUMENTS, WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE LIEN SUBORDINATION AND INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF AUGUST 13, 2009, AMONG BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., AS COLLATERAL AGENT FOR THE REVOLVING FACILITY SECURED PARTIES REFERRED TO THEREIN; WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, AS TRUSTEE AND AS NOTEHOLDER COLLATERAL AGENT; AFFINIA GROUP INC.; AFFINIA GROUP INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS INC.; AND THE OTHER SUBSIDIARIES OF AFFINIA GROUP INC. FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY THERETO (THE “INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT”). EACH LENDER HEREUNDER (i) CONSENTS TO THE SUBORDINATION OF LIENS PROVIDED FOR IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (ii) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY AND WILL TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND (iii) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDERS

- 172 -

UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT TO EXTEND CREDIT AND SUCH LENDERS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.21 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORMS OF WHICH ARE ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER IS FURTHER AWARE THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS ALSO ACTING IN AN ADMINISTRATIVE AND COLLATERAL AGENCY CAPACITY UNDER, AND AS DEFINED IN THE SENIOR SECURED NOTES DOCUMENTS, AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THERETO OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING THEREFROM.

13.21 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 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.

- 173 -

(c) 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.

13.22 Qualified Secured Hedging Agreements and Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreements. At any time prior to or after any Credit Party shall enter into any Hedging Agreement or any Cash Management Agreement, the applicable Credit Party and the Lender (or Affiliate thereof) party thereto shall, if it wishes that the respective Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Agreement be treated as an Obligation with respect to the priority of payment of proceeds of the Collateral in accordance with the waterfall provisions set forth in the respective Security Documents, notify the Administrative Agent in writing (to be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent) that (x) such Hedging Agreement is to be a “Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement” or (y) such Cash Management Agreement is to be a “Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement”. Until such time as the applicable Credit Party and Lender (or Affiliate thereof) delivers (and the Administrative Agent acknowledges) such notice as described above, such Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Agreement shall not constitute a Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be. The parties hereto understand and agree that the provisions of this Section 13.22 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their affiliates which become parties to Qualified Secured Hedging Agreements or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreements, and agree that any amendments or modifications to the provisions of this Section 13.22 shall not be effective with respect to any Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, entered into prior to the date of respective amendment or modification of this Section 13.22 (without the written consent of the relevant parties thereto). Notwithstanding any such designation of a Secured Hedging Agreement as a Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or a Secured Cash Management Agreement as a Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement, no provider or holder of any such Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider of such agreements or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall their consent be required (other than in their capacities as a Lender to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Documents, including without limitation, as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or guarantors. The Administrative Agent accepts no responsibility and shall have no liability for the calculation of the exposure owing by the Credit Parties under any such Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement and/or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement or the amount of Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement Reserve or of any Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement Reserve and/or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement Reserve, and shall be entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable Lender (or Affiliate thereof) and the applicable Credit Party party to such agreement for the calculation thereof. Such Lender (or Affiliate thereof) and the applicable Credit Party party to any such agreement each agrees to provide the Administrative Agent with the calculations of all such exposures and reserves, if any, at such times as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, and in any event, not less than monthly (unless other agreed to by the Administrative Agent).

- 174 -

13.23 Waivers by Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Credit Party waives (a) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by the Agents on which a Credit Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything the Agents may do in this regard; (b) subject to the terms of the Security Documents, notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (c) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing the Agents to exercise any rights or remedies; (d) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (e) any claim, suit or cause or action against any Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Lender or their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives arising out of or in connection with, or related to any aspect of, this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder (including the extensions of credit hereunder and any enforcement actions hereunder or thereunder) (i) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages or any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort, or otherwise) or (ii) any losses, costs, damages, indemnities or other compensation, except to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith and (g) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Credit Party acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to the Agents and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that Agents and the Lenders are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with the Credit Parties. Each Credit Party has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel.

13.24 Performance of Credit Parties’ Obligations. Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at the Credit Parties’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of a Credit Party under any Credit Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (a) enforce any Credit Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of the Collateral Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. The Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give the Credit Parties notice prior to taking any of the actions described in the preceding sentence provided no Event of Default is then in existence. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to the Administrative Agent by the Credit Parties, on demand, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or action taken by the Administrative Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Credit Documents.

- 175 -

SECTION 14. Nature of Borrower Obligations.

14.01 Nature of Borrower Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that:

(a) all U.S. Borrowers Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Letters of Credit and all other U.S. Borrower Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Credit Document (including, without limitation, all fees, indemnities, Taxes and other U.S. Borrower Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Revolving Loan Commitments) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each of the U.S. Borrowers. In addition to the direct (and joint and several) obligations of the U.S. Borrowers with respect to U.S. Borrower Obligations as described above, all such U.S. Borrower Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Holdings Guaranty and the U.S. Subsidiaries Guaranty and shall therefore constitute the joint and several obligations of all of the U.S. Credit Parties; and

(b) all Canadian Borrower Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans and all other Canadian Borrower Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Credit Document (including, without limitation, all fees, indemnities, Taxes and other Canadian Borrower Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Revolving Loan Commitments) shall constitute the obligations of the Canadian Borrower. In addition to the direct obligations of the Canadian Borrower with respect to Canadian Borrower Obligations as described above, all such Canadian Borrower Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Holdings Guaranty, the Canadian Subsidiaries Guarantee and the U.S. Subsidiaries Guaranty and shall therefore constitute the joint and several obligations of all of the Credit Parties.

14.02 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Credit Party with respect to its respective Obligations are independent of the obligations of each other Credit Party or any Guarantor under its Guaranty of such Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Credit Party, whether or not any other Credit Party or any Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. Each Credit Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Credit Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Credit Party shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Credit Party.

14.03 Authorization. Each of the Credit Parties authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Credit Party or any Guarantor or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(b) release or substitute any other Credit Party, endorsers, Guarantors or other obligors;

- 176 -

(c) settle or compromise any of the Obligations of any other Credit Party, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;

(d) apply any sums paid by any other Credit Party or any other Person, howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of such other Credit Party or other Person regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other Credit Party or other Person remain unpaid; and/or

(e) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other Credit Party or any other Person.

14.04 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the respective Credit Parties hereunder.

14.05 Contribution; Subrogation. No Credit Party shall have any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any other Credit Party as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and until (i) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, and in the case of a U.S. Borrower, all Letters of Credit have been terminated and (ii) all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

14.06 Waiver. Each Credit Party waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders to (i) proceed against any other Credit Party or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Credit Party or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s, any Issuing Lender’s or Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Credit Party waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship or any impairment of security held from any Credit Party or any other party or on or arising out of any defense of any other Credit Party or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the its Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any other Credit Party or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Credit Party, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

14.07 Limitation on Canadian Borrower Obligations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document (including provisions that may override any other provision, but in all cases subject to Section 14.07(b)), in no event shall the Canadian Borrower, any other Canadian Credit Party or any Canadian Credit Party’s Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes guarantee or be deemed to have guaranteed or become liable or obligated on a joint and several basis or otherwise for, or to have pledged any of its assets to secure, any U.S. Borrower Obligation under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents. All provisions contained in any

Credit Document shall be interpreted consistently with this Section 14.07 to the extent possible, and where such other provisions conflict with the provisions of this Section 14.07, the provisions of this Section 14.07 shall govern.

- 177 -

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document (including provisions that may override any other provision), to the extent the Equity Interests of any Credit Party which is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes are transferred to a Person which is a Foreign Subsidiary of the Company, such Credit Party shall not be released from its obligations under any Credit Document unless such transfer was permitted pursuant to this Agreement and substantially simultaneously with such release, such Credit Party is also released from its obligations under any guarantee of the Senior Secured Notes and any Liens on such Credit Party’s assets securing the Senior Secured Notes are released.

14.08 Extent of Liability; Contribution.

(a) Extent of Joint and Several Liability of U.S. Credit Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary, each U.S. Credit Party’s joint and several liability for the Obligations of the other U.S. Credit Parties and the Canadian Credit Parties shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such U.S. Credit Party is primarily liable, as described below and (ii) such U.S. Credit Party’s Allocable Amount (as defined in Section 14.08(b)).

(b) Allocable Amount. If any U.S. Credit Party makes a payment of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such U.S. Credit Party is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other U.S. Credit Parties, exceeds the amount that such U.S. Credit Party would otherwise have paid if each Credit Party had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such U.S. Credit Party’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Credit Parties, then such U.S. Credit Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Credit Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Credit Party shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Credit Party without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Direct Liability. Nothing contained in this Section 14.08 shall limit the liability of any Credit Party to pay Loans and other extensions of Credit made directly or indirectly to that Credit Party (including Loans and other extensions of credit advanced to any other Credit Party and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Credit Party), Letter of Credit Outstandings relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Credit Party’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Credit Party shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time in its discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Credit Party and to restrict the disbursement and use of such Loans and Letters of Credit to such Credit Party.

- 178 -

(d) Joint Enterprise. Each U.S. Credit Party has requested that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender make this credit facility available to the Credit Parties on a combined basis, in order to finance the Credit Parties’ business most efficiently and economically. The Credit Parties’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the U.S. Credit Parties believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Credit Party and ease the administration of their relationship with the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, all to the mutual advantage of the U.S. Credit Parties. The U.S. Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent’s, the Lenders’ and the Issuing Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to the Credit Parties and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the U.S. Credit Parties at their request.

(e) Subordination. Each Credit Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Credit Party, howsoever arising, to full and final payment in full, in cash, of all Obligations following the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.

SECTION 15. Holdings Guaranty.

15.01 Guaranty. In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, and to induce the other Guaranteed Creditors to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements, Qualified Secured Hedging Agreements and Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreements and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by Holdings from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the entering into of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements, Qualified Secured Hedging Agreements and Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreements, Holdings hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors as follows: Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, Holdings, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Obligations. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Borrowers and any other Guaranteed Party), then and in such event Holdings agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Holdings, notwithstanding any revocation of this Holdings Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Guaranteed Party, and Holdings shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

- 179 -

15.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 11.05, and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

15.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of Holdings hereunder is primary, absolute and unconditional, exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Holdings hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Guaranteed Party or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Guaranteed Party, or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Holdings waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction by the Guaranteed Creditors as contemplated in Section 15.05, or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or enforceability of all or any part of the Obligations or of any security therefor.

15.04 Independent Obligation. The guaranty of Holdings hereunder is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and cannot be revoked by Holdings. The obligations of Holdings hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party be joined in any such action or actions. Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Guaranteed Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Holdings.

15.05 Authorization. Holdings authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Holdings Guaranty shall apply to the Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

- 180 -

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Guaranteed Party, any other Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Guaranteed Party, other Credit Parties or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Guaranteed Party to its creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or any Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or any Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Holdings from its liabilities under this Holdings Guaranty.

15.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

15.07 Subordination. Any indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to Holdings is hereby subordinated to the Obligations owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party to Holdings shall be collected, enforced and received by Holdings for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Obligations of such Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of Holdings under the other provisions of this Holdings Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by Holdings of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any such indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party to Holdings, Holdings shall ▇▇▇▇ such note or negotiable instrument

- 181 -

with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

15.08 Waiver. (a) Holdings waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Holdings waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Guaranteed Party, Holdings, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Guaranteed Party other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Holdings hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Holdings waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against any Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

(b) Holdings waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Holdings Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations. Holdings assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guaranteed Creditors shall have any duty to advise Holdings of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, Holdings hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty.

- 182 -

(d) Holdings hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, Holdings shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing Holdings’ or any Guaranteed Creditor’s right to proceed against any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Obligations. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Holdings hereby waives until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full in cash:

(i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Holdings by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;

(ii) all rights and defenses that Holdings may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from Holdings without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Borrower or any other Credit Party, and (B) if the Guaranteed Creditors foreclose on any Real Property collateral pledged by any Borrower or any other Credit Party, (1) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from Holdings even if the Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral, have destroyed any right Holdings may have to collect from any Guaranteed Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Holdings may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure); and

(iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Obligations, has destroyed Holdings’ rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Guaranteed Party by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(e) Holdings warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15.09 Payments. All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this Section 15 shall be made in the respective Available Currency in which the applicable Obligations are then due and payable and will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 5.03 and 5.04.

- 183 -

15.10 Maximum Liability. It is the desire and intent of Holdings and the Guaranteed Creditors that this Holdings Guaranty shall be enforced against Holdings to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of Holdings under this Holdings Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of Holdings’ obligations under this Holdings Guaranty shall be deemed to be reduced and Holdings shall pay the maximum amount of the Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.

SECTION 16. Lender Loss Sharing Agreement.

16.01 Definitions. As used in this Section 16, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) CAM: the mechanism for the allocation and exchange of interests in the Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and collections thereunder established under Section 16.02.

(b) CAM Exchange: the exchange of the U.S. Lenders’ interests and the Canadian Lenders’ interests provided for in Section 16.02.

(c) CAM Exchange Date: the first date after the Effective Date on which there shall occur (i) any event described in Section 11.05 with respect to any Borrower, or (ii) an acceleration of Loans and termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 11.

(d) CAM Percentage: as to each Lender, such Lender’s RL Percentage (as determined in accordance with clause (c) of the definition thereof) of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date and the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment.

(e) Designated Obligations: all Obligations of the Borrowers with respect to (i) principal and interest under the Loans, (ii) Unpaid Drawings under Letters of Credit and interest thereon, and (iii) fees under Sections 4.01(a) and (b)(i).

(f) Revolver Facilities: the facility established under the U.S. Commitments and the Canadian Commitments, and “Revolver Facility” means any one of such Revolver Facilities.

16.02 CAM Exchange.

(a) On the CAM Exchange Date:

(i) the U.S. Commitments and the Canadian Commitments shall have terminated in accordance with Section 11,

- 184 -

(ii) each U.S. Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Swingline Loans and Agent Advances in accordance with Sections 2.01(b) and (e), and each Canadian Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Agent Advances or Overadvance Loans in accordance with Sections 2.01(e) and Section 2.01(f), respectively,

(iii) each U.S. Lender shall fund its participation in any Unpaid Drawings made under the applicable Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.04, and

(iv) the Lenders shall purchase, at the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of par, interests in the Designated Obligations under each Revolver Facility (and shall make payments in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent for reallocation to other Lenders to the extent necessary to give effect to such purchases) and shall assume the obligations to reimburse Issuing Lender for unreimbursed drawings under outstanding Letters of Credit under such Revolver Facility such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations under the U.S. Commitments and the Canadian Commitments in which it shall participate immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in each component of the Designated Obligations immediately following the CAM Exchange.

(b) Each Lender and each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 13.04 hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. Each Borrower agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to Lenders all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of any Lender to deliver or accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

(c) As a result of the CAM Exchange, from and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Credit Document in respect of any of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages.

(d) In the event that on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of a disbursement under a Letter of Credit by Issuing Lender that is not reimbursed by U.S. Borrowers, then each Lender shall promptly reimburse Issuing Lender for its CAM Percentage of such unreimbursed payment.

16.03 Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 16, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that if the Administrative Agent or a Lender is required under applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes or other amounts from payments

- 185 -

made by it hereunder or as a result hereof to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, such Person shall be entitled to withhold or deduct such amounts and pay over such Taxes or other amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority imposing such Tax without any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to such amounts and without any other obligation of gross up or offset with respect thereto and there shall be no recourse whatsoever by Agent or any Lender subject to such withholding to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender making such withholding and paying over such amounts, but without diminution of the rights of the Administrative Agent or such Lender subject to such withholding as against Borrowers and the other Credit Parties to the extent (if any) provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Any amounts so withheld or deducted shall be treated as, for the purpose of this Section 16, having been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Lender with respect to which such withholding or deduction was made.
