W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested that Agent and Lenders enter into financing arrangements with Borrowers pursuant to which Lenders may make loans and provide other financial accommodations to Borrowers; and

WHEREAS, each Lender is willing to agree (severally and not jointly) to make such loans and provide such financial accommodations to Borrowers on a pro rata basis according to its Commitment (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth therein and Agent is willing to act as agent for Lenders on the terms and conditions set forth herein and the other Loan Documents;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

“ABL Priority Collateral” shall have the meaning given to such term in the Intercreditor Agreement.

“Accounts” shall mean, as to each Loan Party, all present and future Accounts of such Loan Party, as defined in the UCC.

“Acquisition” shall mean any transaction or series of related transactions for the purpose of resulting, directly or indirectly, in (a) the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Person, or all or substantially all of any business or division of any person, (b) the acquisition in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Capital Stock of any Person, or otherwise causing any Person to become a Subsidiary or (c) a merger or consolidation or any other combination with another Person (other than a Person that is already a Subsidiary).

“Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” shall mean, with respect to each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan comprising part of the same borrowing (including conversions, extensions and renewals), the rate per annum determined by dividing (a) the London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period by (b) a percentage equal to: (i) one (1) minus (ii) the Reserve Percentage. For purposes hereof, “Reserve Percentage” shall mean for any day, that percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect from time to time under Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), as such regulation may be amended from time to time or any successor regulation, as the maximum reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any basic, supplemental, emergency, special, or marginal reserves) applicable with respect to Eurocurrency liabilities as that term is defined in Regulation D (or against any other category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate of Eurodollar Rate Loans is determined), whether or not any Lender has any Eurocurrency liabilities subject to such reserve requirement at that time. Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be deemed to constitute Eurocurrency liabilities and as such shall be deemed subject to reserve requirements without benefits of credits for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be available from time to time to a Lender. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage.

“Adjusted Total Excess Availability” shall mean the amount, calculated at any date, equal to: (a) Total Excess Availability plus (b) the lesser of (i) the amount (if positive) by which the total of (A) the U.S. Borrowing Base plus (B) the Canadian Borrowing Base exceeds (C) the Maximum Credit and (ii) $20,000,000.

“Administrative Borrower” shall mean the Company, in its capacity as the Administrative Borrower on behalf of itself and the other Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.8 hereof and its successors and assigns in such capacity.

“Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to a specified Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such Person.

“Agent” shall mean Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent on behalf of Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof and any replacement or successor agent hereunder.

“Agent Payment Account” shall mean Agent’s account at Bank of America set forth on Schedule 1.1(g), or such other account of Agent as Agent may from time to time designate to the Administrative Borrower as the Agent Payment Account for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Applicable Designee” shall mean any office, branch or Affiliate of a Lender designated thereby from time to time with the consent of Agent (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to fund all or any portion of such Lender’s Commitment to fund Canadian Revolving Loans (including purchasing participations in Canadian Letters of Credit) under this Agreement (which such designation may be in the form of a participation or assignment of all or a portion of such Lender’s Commitment to fund Canadian Revolving Loans); provided that, except after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Applicable Designee shall be, or shall be controlled by, a competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, the Applicable Designees of each Lender are set forth on Schedule 1.1(b) (which schedule may be updated from time to time upon written notice by any Lender to Agent). Any assignment by a Lender of all or a portion of its Commitment to fund Canadian Revolving Loans to an Applicable Designee shall be effected by delivering to Agent an addendum executed by such Lender and its Applicable Designee, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. For all purposes of this Agreement, any designation of an Applicable Designee by a Lender shall not affect such Lender’s rights and obligations with

respect to its Commitment and the Loan Parties, the other Lenders and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement or in the applicable addendum.

Except as set forth above, each Applicable Percentage shall be effective from one Calculation Date until the next Calculation Date. Upon any increase in the Maximum Credit pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, each of the dollar amounts set forth in the grid above shall be increased by the proportionate percentage amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit.

(ii) In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent contained in Section 4 hereof and the other terms and conditions contained herein, no Canadian Letter of Credit shall be available unless each of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied in a manner satisfactory to Agent: (A) the Administrative Borrower requesting such Canadian Letter of Credit on behalf of such Canadian Borrower) shall have delivered to Issuing Bank at such times and in such manner as Issuing Bank may reasonably require, an application, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Issuing Bank and Agent, for the issuance of the Canadian Letter of Credit and such other Letter of Credit Documents as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the form and terms of the proposed Canadian Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to Agent and Issuing Bank, (B) as of the date of issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator or other Governmental Authority shall purport

(d) Limitation of Amounts. After giving effect to any issuance of a Letter of Credit, except in Agent’s discretion, with the consent of all Lenders, or as otherwise provided herein: (i) the Aggregate Outstandings at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Credit; (ii) the U.S. Borrower Outstandings at any time shall not exceed the lesser of: (A) the U.S. Borrowing Base; and (B) Maximum Credit, minus the Canadian Borrower Outstandings; (iii) the Canadian Borrower Outstandings at any time shall not exceed the least of (A) the Canadian Borrowing Base; (B) the Canadian Credit Limit; and (C) the Maximum Credit, minus the U.S. Borrower Outstandings.

Each drawing under any Letter of Credit or other amount payable in connection therewith when due shall constitute a request by the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued to Agent for a Base Rate Loan in the amount of such drawing or other amount then due, and shall be made by Agent on behalf of Lenders as a Revolving Loan (or Special Agent Advance, as the case may be). The date of such Loan shall be the date of the drawing or as to other amounts, the due date therefor. Any payments made by or on behalf of Agent or any Lender to Issuing Bank and/or related parties in connection with any Letter of Credit shall constitute additional Revolving Loans to such Borrower pursuant to this Section 2 (or Special Agent Advances as the case may be).

(f) Indemnification; Assumption of Risk.

(i) U.S. Loan Parties shall indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses which Agent or any Lender may suffer or incur in connection with any U.S. Letter of Credit and any documents, drafts or acceptances relating thereto, including any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses due to any action taken by Issuing Bank or correspondent with respect to any U.S. Letter of Credit, except for such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses that are a direct result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(ii) Canadian Loan Parties shall indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses which Agent or any Lender may suffer or incur in connection with any Canadian Letter of Credit and any documents, drafts or acceptances relating thereto, including any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses due to any action taken by Issuing Bank or correspondent with respect to any Canadian Letter of Credit, except for such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses that are a direct result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(iii) Each Loan Party assumes all risks with respect to the acts or omissions of the drawer under or beneficiary of any Letter of Credit and for such purposes the drawer or beneficiary shall be deemed such Borrower’s agent. Each Loan Party assumes all risks for, and agrees to pay, all foreign, Federal, State, Provincial and local taxes, duties and levies relating to any goods subject to any Letter of Credit or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder. Each Loan Party hereby releases and holds Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any acts, waivers, errors, delays or omissions with respect to or relating to any Letter of Credit, except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section 2.2(f) shall survive the payment of Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(g) Participations. Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the applicable Borrowers with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto). Each Lender shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to Issuing Bank therefor and discharge when due, its Pro Rata Share of all of such obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed or otherwise paid as required hereunder or under any such Letter of Credit, each such Lender shall pay to Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed drawing or other amounts then due to Issuing Bank in connection therewith.

(h) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Borrowers to pay the applicable Letter of Credit Obligations and the obligations of Lenders to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances, whatsoever, notwithstanding the occurrence or continuance of any Default, Event of Default, the failure to satisfy any other condition set forth in Section 4 or any other event or circumstance. If such amount is not made available by a Lender when due, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender with interest thereon, for

each day from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the interest rate then payable by any Borrower in respect of Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit or make any other payment in connection therewith.

(i) Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to any such Defaulting Lender’s refinancing obligations hereunder, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit. On demand by Issuing Bank or Agent from time to time, (i) the U.S. Borrowers shall cash collateralize each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding U.S. Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) the Canadian Borrowers shall cash collateralize each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations.

2.3 Swingline Loans.

(a) The U.S. Swing Line. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the U.S. Swingline Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make loans in Dollars to each U.S. Borrower (each such loan, a “U.S. Swingline Loan”) from time to time in amounts requested by the Administrative Borrower on behalf of such U.S. Borrower up to the aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the U.S. Swingline Limit; provided that after giving effect to any U.S. Swingline Loan, such U.S. Swingline Loan shall not cause the U.S. Borrower Outstandings to exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Credit minus Canadian Borrower Outstandings and (ii) the U.S. Borrowing Base.

(b) The Canadian Swing Line. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Canadian Swingline Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make loans in Canadian Dollars to each Canadian Borrower (each such loan, a “Canadian Swingline Loan”) from time to time in amounts requested by the Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Canadian Borrower up to the aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Canadian Swingline Limit; provided that after giving effect to any Canadian Swingline Loan, such Canadian Swingline Loan shall not cause the Canadian Borrower Outstandings to exceed the least of (i) the Maximum Credit minus U.S. Borrower Outstandings, (ii) the Canadian Credit Limit and (iii) the Canadian Borrowing Base.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow the applicable Swingline Loans hereunder; provided that no Borrower may use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan.

(d) Swingline Loan Interest Rates.

(i) U.S. Swingline Loans. U.S. Swingline Loans shall be denominated in Dollars and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Base Rate Loans.

(ii) Canadian Swingline Loans. Canadian Swingline Loans shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars and shall bear interest at the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Canadian Base Rate Loans.

(e) Refunding of Swingline Loans.

(i) Swingline Loans shall be refunded by Lenders on demand by the applicable Swingline Lender. Such refundings shall be made by the Lenders proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares and shall thereafter be reflected as Revolving Loans of the Lenders made to the applicable Borrowers on the books and records of Agent. Each Lender shall fund its respective Pro Rata Share of Revolving Loans as required to repay the applicable Swingline Loans outstanding to the applicable Swingline Lender upon demand by such Swingline Lender but in no event later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is made. No Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Pro Rata Share of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Lender’s Pro Rata Share be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of a Swingline Loan.

(ii) The applicable Borrowers shall pay to the applicable Swingline Lender on demand the amount of such Swingline Loans (in the applicable currency in which such Swingline Loan was initially funded) to the extent amounts received from Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the applicable Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to charge any account maintained by such applicable Borrowers with the applicable Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay such Swingline Lender the amount of the applicable Swingline Loans (in the applicable currency in which such Swingline Loan was initially funded) to the extent amounts received from Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to a Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the applicable Borrowers from a Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of such applicable Borrowers pertain to a Swingline Loan extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the applicable Swingline Lender has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 13.4 and which such Event of Default has not been waived by the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable).

(iii) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.3, one of the events described in Section 11.1(f), (g) or (h) shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Revolving Loan would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in any Swingline Loan to be refunded in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to such Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds in the applicable currency in

which each Swingline Loan was funded, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof such Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after a Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, such Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, such Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).

(f) Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3, no Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make any applicable Swingline Loans at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate such Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to any such Defaulting Lender’s refinancing obligations hereunder, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable outstanding Swingline Loans. On demand by (i) the U.S. Swingline Lender or Agent from time to time, the U.S. Borrowers shall cash collateralize each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding U.S. Swingline Loans and (ii) the Canadian Swingline Lender or Agent from time to time, the Canadian Borrowers shall cash collateralize each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Canadian Swingline Loans.

2.6 Joint and Several Liability of U.S. Borrowers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, each U.S. Borrower, jointly and severally, in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each U.S. Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other U.S. Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other U.S. Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each U.S. Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. U.S. Borrowers shall be liable for all amounts due to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, regardless of which U.S. Borrower actually receives the Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations hereunder or the amount of such Revolving Loans received or the manner in which Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations or other extensions of credit on its books and records. The Obligations of U.S. Borrowers with respect to Revolving Loans made to one of them, and the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of one of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans made to the other of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such other Obligations shall be primary obligations of all U.S. Borrowers.

(b) If and to the extent that any U.S. Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other U.S. Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent permitted by law, each U.S. Borrower (in its capacity as a joint and several obligor in respect of the obligations of the other U.S. Borrower) hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of occurrence of any Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Agent or any Lender under or in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each U.S. Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Agent or any Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by the other U.S. Borrowers in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Agent or any Lender in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of the other U.S. Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each U.S. Borrower (in its capacity as a joint and several obligor in respect of the obligations of the other U.S. Borrower) assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.6 hereof, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such U.S. Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.6, it being the intention of each U.S. Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such U.S. Borrower under this Section 2.6 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each U.S. Borrower under this Section 2.6 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any U.S. Borrower. The joint and several liability of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any U.S. Borrower or any of the Lenders.

(d) The provisions of this Section 2.6 hereof are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and subject to Section 11.2 hereof, may be enforced by them from time to time against any U.S. Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of Agent or any Lender first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against the other U.S. Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it against the other U.S. Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the U.S. Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.6 shall remain in effect until all the U.S. Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied (other than indemnities and contingent U.S. Obligations which have not yet accrued). If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the U.S. Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any U.S. Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.6 hereof will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of a U.S. Borrower 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 obligations of such U.S. Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal, state or provincial and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)).

(f) With respect to the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of U.S. Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations or other extensions of credit made to the other U.S. Borrowers hereunder, each U.S. Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than indemnities and contingent Obligations which have not yet accrued) and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any U.S. Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Agent or any Lender. Any claim which any U.S. Borrower may have against any other U.S. Borrower with respect to any payments to Agent or Lenders hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing, Agent and Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice (to the extent notice is waivable under applicable law), against (i) with respect to Obligations of U.S. Borrowers, either or both of them or (ii) with respect to Obligations of any U.S. Borrower, to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the applicable Obligations, without first proceeding against the other applicable U.S. Borrowers or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each U.S. Borrower consents and agrees that Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of U.S. Borrower(s) or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

2.7 Joint and Several Liability of Canadian Borrowers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Canadian Borrower, jointly and severally, in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Canadian Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Canadian Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Canadian Obligations, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Canadian Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Canadian Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Canadian Obligations shall be the joint and several Canadian Obligations of each Canadian Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. Canadian Borrowers shall be liable for all amounts due to Agent and

Lenders under this Agreement in respect of the Canadian Borrower Outstandings, regardless of which Canadian Borrower actually receives the Loans, or Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations hereunder or the amount of such Revolving Loans received or the manner in which Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans, Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations or other extensions of credit on its books and records. The Canadian Obligations of Canadian Borrowers with respect to Revolving Loans and Canadian Swingline Loans made to one of them, and the Canadian Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of one of the Canadian Borrowers hereunder, with respect to Revolving Loans made to the other of the Canadian Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct Canadian Obligations, but all such other Canadian Obligations shall be primary Canadian Obligations of all Canadian Borrowers.

(b) If and to the extent that any Canadian Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Canadian Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Canadian Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Canadian Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent permitted by law, each Canadian Borrower (in its capacity as a joint and several obligor in respect of the Canadian Obligations of the other Canadian Borrower) hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of occurrence of any Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (except to the extent demand is expressly required to be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or other Loan Document), notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Agent or any Lender under or in respect of any of the Canadian Obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except as required hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Each Canadian Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Canadian Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Agent or any Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by the other Canadian Borrowers in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Agent or any Lender in respect of any of the Canadian Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Canadian Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of the other Canadian Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Canadian Borrower (in its capacity as a joint and several obligor in respect of the Canadian Obligations of the other Canadian Borrower) assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.7 hereof, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Canadian Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Canadian Obligations under this Section 2.7, it being the intention of each Canadian Borrower that, so long as any of the Canadian Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Canadian Obligations of such Canadian Borrower under this Section 2.7 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Canadian Obligations of each Canadian Borrower under this Section 2.7 shall not be

diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Canadian Borrower. The joint and several liability of the Canadian Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Canadian Borrower or any of the Lenders.

(d) The provisions of this Section 2.7 hereof are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and subject to Section 11.2 hereof, may be enforced by them from time to time against any Canadian Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of Agent or any Lender first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against the other Canadian Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it against the other Canadian Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Canadian Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.7 shall remain in effect until all the Canadian Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied (other than indemnities and contingent Canadian Obligations which have not yet accrued). If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Canadian Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Canadian Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.7 hereof will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the Canadian Obligations of a Canadian Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable provincial or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the Canadian Obligations of such Canadian Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal, provincial or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code of the United States and the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)).

(f) With respect to the Canadian Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of Canadian Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans, Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations or other extensions of credit made to the other Canadian Borrowers hereunder, each of Canadian Borrowers waives, until the Canadian Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than indemnities and contingent Canadian Obligations which have not yet accrued) and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any Canadian Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Canadian Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Agent or any Lender. Any claim which any Canadian Borrower may have against any other Canadian Borrower with respect to any payments to Agent or Lenders hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Canadian Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Canadian Obligations. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing, Agent and Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice (to the extent notice is waivable under

applicable law), against (i) with respect to Canadian Obligations of Canadian Borrowers, any of them or (ii) with respect to Canadian Obligations of any Canadian Borrower, to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the applicable Canadian Obligations, without first proceeding against the other applicable Canadian Borrowers or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Canadian Obligations. Each Canadian Borrower consents and agrees that Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Canadian Borrower(s) or against or in payment of any or all of the Canadian Obligations.

2.8 Commitments. The aggregate amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstandings shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, as the same may from time to time be amended in accordance with the provisions hereof.

2.9 Reduction of Commitments. The Administrative Borrower shall have the right to terminate or permanently reduce the unused portion of the Maximum Credit at any time or from time to time upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by Agent, provided that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto, and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans plus Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the Maximum Credit after such proposed reduction.

3.2 Fees.

(a) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, a fee on the unused amount of the Commitments (a “Commitment Fee”), which shall be payable on the first day of each calendar quarter in arrears (calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year), determined by multiplying: (i) the positive difference, if any, between (A) the Maximum Credit and (B) the average daily Aggregate Outstandings during the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or part thereof) by (ii) the Commitment Fee Rate then in effect; provided that the Canadian Borrowers shall not be required to pay any portion of the Commitment Fee in excess of the Canadian Borrower Percentage of such Commitment Fee.

(b) (i) In consideration for the issuance of U.S. Letters of Credit hereunder, the U.S. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, a fee at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance thereof to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Percentage for Eurodollar Rate Loans on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all of such U.S. Letters of Credit for the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or part thereof), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding calendar quarter, computed for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration; provided that U.S. Borrowers shall pay, at Agent’s option, upon prior written notice, such fee at a rate two percent (2%) greater than the otherwise applicable rate on such average daily maximum amount for: (i) the period from and after the Termination Date until the Lenders have received full and final payment on all outstanding Obligations (notwithstanding entry of a judgment against any Loan Party) and (ii) the period from and after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default for so long as such Event of Default is continuing. Such letter of credit fees shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed and the obligation of U.S. Borrowers to pay such fee shall survive the termination of this Agreement. In addition to the letter of credit fees provided above, U.S. Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank for its own account (without sharing with Lenders) a letter of credit fronting fee of one-eighth percent (0.125%), payable in

arrears as of the first day of each succeeding calendar quarter, of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each U.S. Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration thereof, negotiation fees agreed to by U.S. Borrowers and Issuing Bank from time to time, the customary charges from time to time of Issuing Bank with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such U.S. Letters of Credit and in the case of documentary U.S. Letters of Credit, the Issuing Bank’s customary processing fees.

(ii) In consideration for the issuance of Canadian Letters of Credit hereunder, the Canadian Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, a fee at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance thereof to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Percentage for Eurodollar Rate Loans on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all of such Canadian Letters of Credit for the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or part thereof), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding calendar quarter, computed for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration; provided that Canadian Borrowers shall pay, at Agent’s option, upon prior written notice, such fee at a rate two percent (2%) greater than the otherwise applicable rate on such average daily maximum amount for: (i) the period from and after the Termination Date until the Lenders have received full and final payment on all outstanding Canadian Obligations (notwithstanding entry of a judgment against any Loan Party) and (ii) the period from and after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default for so long as such Event of Default is continuing. Such letter of credit fees shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed and the obligation of Canadian Borrowers to pay such fee shall survive the termination of this Agreement. In addition to the letter of credit fees provided above, Canadian Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank for its own account (without sharing with Lenders) a letter of credit fronting fee of one-eighth percent (0.125%), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding calendar quarter, of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Canadian Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration thereof, negotiation fees agreed to by Canadian Borrowers and Issuing Bank from time to time, the customary charges from time to time of Issuing Bank with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Canadian Letters of Credit and in the case of documentary Canadian Letters of Credit, the Issuing Bank’s customary processing fees.

(c) Borrowers shall pay to Agent the other fees and amounts set forth in the Fee Letters in the amounts and at the times specified therein; provided that the Canadian Borrowers shall not be required to pay any portion of such fees in excess of the Canadian Borrower Percentage thereof. To the extent payment in full of the applicable fee is received by Agent from Borrowers on or about the Closing Date, Agent shall pay to each Lender its share of such fees in accordance with the terms of the arrangements of Agent with such Lender.

3.3 Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. If Agent shall determine in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) that on any date by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market or the Canadian banker’s acceptance market, as applicable, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans, as applicable, on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate

or the Canadian BA Rate (including the CDOR Rate), as applicable, Agent shall on such date give notice to the Administrative Borrower and each Lender of such determination. Upon such date no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans, as applicable, until such time as Agent notifies the Administrative Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and any request for such Loans or the conversion or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loans or any Canadian BA Rate Loans, as applicable, received by Agent shall be deemed to be a request, or a continuation or conversion, for or into Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable.

3.4 Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (i) any change in any law or interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority makes it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain (A) a Eurodollar Rate Loan or to maintain any Commitment with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or (B) a Canadian BA Rate Loan or to maintain any Commitment with respect to a Canadian BA Rate Loan, (ii) a Lender determines in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (A) it has become impracticable as a result of a circumstance that adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market or (B) it has become impracticable as a result of a circumstance that adversely affects the Canadian bankers’ acceptance market or the position of such Lender in such market, or (iii) the Required Lenders determine that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then, in each case, such Lender or Lenders shall give notice thereof to Agent and the Administrative Borrower and may (1) declare that Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans, as applicable, will not thereafter be made by such Lender, such that any request for Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans, as applicable, from such Lender shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan, as applicable, unless such Lender’s declaration has been withdrawn (and it shall be withdrawn promptly upon the cessation of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above) and (2) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans or all outstanding Canadian BA Rate Loans, as applicable, made by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, immediately, in which event all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans or all outstanding Canadian BA Rate Loans, as applicable, of such Lender shall be so converted.

3.5 Increased Costs and Exchange Indemnification.

(a) Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) or the Issuing Bank; (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever other than any Excluded Tax with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit, any Eurodollar Rate Loan or any Canadian BA Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 6.5 or Excluded Taxes and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes payable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank described in Sections 6.5(d)); or (iii) impose on any Lender, the Issuing Bank, the London interbank market or the Canadian banker’s acceptance market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this

Agreement, Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender, Canadian BA Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Canadian BA Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or Account by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Canadian Borrowers shall not be required to pay any portion of such additional amount or amounts in excess of the Canadian Borrower Percentage thereof.

(b) Exchange Indemnification. The Borrowers shall, upon demand from the Agent, pay to the Agent or any applicable Lender or the Issuing Bank, the amount of any currency exchange loss that the Agent or any Lender or the Issuing Bank sustains as a result of any payment being made by a Borrower in a currency other than that originally extended to such Borrower or as a result of any other currency exchange loss incurred by the Agent or any applicable Lender or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement. A certificate of the Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Agent or the applicable Revolving Lender or the Issuing Bank shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

3.6 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines in good faith that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that the Canadian Borrowers shall not be required to pay any portion of such additional amount or amounts in excess of the Canadian Borrower Percentage thereof.

3.7 Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 3.5 or 3.6 and delivered to the Administrative Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.

3.8 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to Sections 3.5 or 3.6 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.8 for any increased costs incurred or reductions occurring more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, becomes aware of the event giving rise to such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.9 Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If Section 3.4 applies, any Lender requests compensation under Sections 3.4, 3.5 or 3.6, or Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.5, then such Lender shall, if requested by the Administrative Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder, to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates or to take such other actions as such Lender or Agent determines, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation, assignment or other action (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to such Sections in the future and (ii) would not subject Agent or such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and Agent or such Lender would not suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. Nothing in this Section 3.9 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrowers or the rights of Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 3.9. Borrowers hereby agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If Section 3.4 applies, any Lender requests compensation under Sections 3.4, 3.5 or 3.6, or Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 6.5, then within sixty (60) days thereafter, the Administrative Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Agent, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 16.7), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Transferee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) the Administrative Borrower has received the prior written consent of Agent and the Issuing Bank, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans that it has funded, if any, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal) and the Administrative Borrower (in the case of accrued interest, fees and other amounts, including amounts under Section 3.10), (iii) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation and

payments, and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws or regulations. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Administrative Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 3.9 shall impair any rights that any Borrower or Agent may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

3.10 Funding Losses. Borrowers shall pay to Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans or its Canadian BA Rate Loans, as applicable, and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or redeployment of such) that it sustains (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or any Canadian BA Rate Loan, as applicable, does not occur on a date specified therefor in a request for borrowing, or a conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loan or any Canadian BA Rate Loan, as applicable, does not occur on a date specified therefor in a request for conversion or continuation, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans, as applicable, occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan, or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans, as applicable, is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by a Borrower (or on its behalf by the Administrative Borrower). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.10, Canadian Borrowers shall only be liable for costs arising pursuant to this Section 3.10 to the extent such costs relate to Canadian Loans and U.S. Borrowers shall only be liable for costs arising pursuant to this Section 3.10 to the extent such costs relate to U.S. Loans. This covenant shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

3.11 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in no event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Agent or any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under applicable law exceed the Maximum Interest Rate (including, to the extent applicable, the provisions of Section 5197 of the Revised Statutes of the United States of America as amended, 12 U.S.C. Section 85, as amended). In no event shall any Borrower or Guarantor be obligated to pay interest or such amounts as may be deemed interest under applicable law in amounts which exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. In the event any interest or deemed interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate (“Excess”), each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and that any Excess received by Agent or any Lender shall be applied, first, to the payment of the then outstanding and unpaid principal hereunder; second to the payment of the other Obligations then outstanding and unpaid; and third, returned to such Borrower or Guarantor. All monies paid to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned interest as and to the extent required by applicable law. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by Agent or any Lender, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from any Borrower or Guarantor in

connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread during the entire term of this Agreement in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time hereunder and the Maximum Interest Rate from time to time in effect in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under applicable laws. The provisions of this Section 3.11 shall be deemed to be incorporated into each of the other Loan Documents (whether or not any provision of this Section 3.11 is referred to therein).

3.12 No Requirement of Match Funding.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent and Lenders shall not be required to acquire Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or any other offshore Dollar market to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to otherwise match fund any Obligations as to which interest accrues based on the Eurodollar Rate. All of the provisions of this Section 3 shall be deemed to apply as if Agent, each Lender or any Participant had acquired such deposits to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loan or any other Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the Eurodollar Rate by acquiring such Dollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans or other applicable Obligations.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent and Lenders shall not be required to acquire Canadian Dollar deposits in the Canadian bankers acceptance market or any other offshore Canadian Dollar market to fund any Canadian BA Rate Loan or to otherwise match fund any Obligations as to which interest accrues based on the Canadian BA Rate. All of the provisions of this Section 3 shall be deemed to apply as if Agent, each Lender or any Participant had acquired such deposits to fund any Canadian BA Rate Loan or any other Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the Canadian BA Rate by acquiring such Canadian Dollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the Canadian BA Rate Loans or other applicable Obligations.

To secure payment and performance of all Obligations, each U.S. Loan Party hereby grants to Agent, for itself and the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in, a Lien upon, and a right of set off against, and hereby pledges and makes a collateral assignment to Agent, for itself and the benefit of Secured Parties, as security, all personal property of each respective U.S. Loan Party, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or existing, and wherever located (together with all other collateral security for the respective Obligations at any time granted to or held or acquired by Agent or any Secured Party, but specifically excluding all Excluded Assets, collectively, the “U.S. Collateral”), including all of each U.S. Loan Party’s right, title and interest in and to the following that do not comprise Excluded Assets:

(b) Canadian Collateral. To secure payment and performance of all Canadian Obligations each Canadian Loan Party has granted to Agent, for itself and the benefit of Secured Parties, under the Canadian Collateral Documents, a continuing security interest in, a Lien upon, and a right of set off against, and has pledged and made a collateral assignment to Agent, for itself and the benefit of Secured Parties, as security, all personal property of each respective Canadian Loan Party, but specifically excluding all Excluded Canadian Assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or existing, and wherever located (together with all other collateral security for the respective Canadian Obligations at any time granted by the Canadian Loan Parties to or held or acquired from the Canadian Loan Parties by Agent or any Secured Party, but specifically excluding all Excluded Canadian Assets, collectively, the “Canadian Collateral”).

5.2 Perfection of Security Interests.

(a) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes Agent (or its agent) to prepare and file at any time and from time to time such financing statements with respect to the Collateral naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and such Loan Party as debtor, as Agent may require, and including any other information with respect to such Loan Party or otherwise required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under the PPSA of such jurisdiction as Agent may determine, together with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto, which authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on, prior to or after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any financing statement that describes the Collateral as “all personal property” or “all assets” of such Loan Party or that describes the Collateral in some other manner as Agent reasonably deems necessary. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and approves all financing statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Loan Party, as the case may be, as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of Agent

prior to the Closing Date and ratifies and confirms the authorization of Agent to file such financing statements (and amendments, if any). Each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to adopt on behalf of such Loan Party any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the description of the collateral in any financing statement naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and any Loan Party as debtor includes assets and properties of such Loan Party that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Loan Party to the extent of the Collateral included in such description and it shall not render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall any Loan Party at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto) naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Loan Party as debtor.

(b) No Loan Party has any chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic) or instruments as of the Closing Date, which, individually evidences an amount in excess of $1,000,000, except as set forth on Schedule 5.2(b). In the event that any Loan Party shall be entitled to or shall receive any chattel paper or instrument after the Closing Date, Loan Parties shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of any Loan Party (including by any agent or representative), such Loan Party shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent, all tangible chattel paper and instruments that such Loan Party has or may at any time acquire, which, individually evidences an amount in excess of $1,000,000, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Agent may from time to time specify, in each case except as Agent may otherwise agree. At Agent’s option, each Loan Party shall, or Agent may at any time on behalf of any Loan Party, cause the original of any such instrument or chattel paper to be conspicuously marked in a form and manner acceptable to Agent with the following legend referring to chattel paper or instruments as applicable: “This [chattel paper][instrument] is subject to the security interest of Bank of America, N.A. and any sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance of this [chattel paper][instrument] violates the rights of such secured party.”

(c) In the event that any Loan Party shall at any time hold or acquire an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record” (as such term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction), which, individually evidences an amount in excess of $1,000,000, such Loan Party shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon Agent’s request, such Loan Party shall take, or cause to be taken, such actions as Agent may request to give Agent control of such electronic chattel paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC and control of such transferable record under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in such jurisdiction.

(d) No Loan Party has any deposit accounts as of the Closing Date, except as set forth in Schedule 8.10. Subject to Section 6.3(a), Loan Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, after the Closing Date open, establish or maintain any deposit account (other than any

Excluded Deposit Account, as defined below) unless on or before the opening of such deposit account, such Loan Party shall deliver to Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such deposit account duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Loan Party and the bank at which such deposit account is opened and maintained or arrange for Agent to become the customer of the bank with respect to the deposit account on terms and conditions acceptable to Agent. The terms of this subsection (d) shall not apply to (i) deposit accounts specifically and exclusively used for, payroll, payroll taxes, trust funds and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of any Loan Party’s salaried employees, (ii) Other Investment Deposits and (iii) such other deposit accounts which, individually or in the aggregate, do not at any time have more than $5,000,000 on deposit therein (each such deposit account, an “Excluded Deposit Account”).

(e) No Loan Party owns or holds, directly or indirectly, beneficially or as record owner or both, any investment property, as of the Closing Date, or have any investment account, securities account, commodity account, futures account or other similar account with any bank or other financial institution or other securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary as of the Closing Date, in each case except for investment, securities and commodities accounts identified on Schedule 8.10 and securities identified on Schedule 8.12.

(i) In the event that any Loan Party shall be entitled to or shall at any time after the Closing Date hold or acquire any certificated securities (other than any certificated securities that are Senior Note Priority Collateral or constitute Excluded Assets), such Loan Party shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities, now or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party are uncertificated and are issued to such Loan Party or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof (other than any uncertificated securities that are Senior Note Priority Collateral or constitute Excluded Assets), such Loan Party shall immediately notify Agent thereof and shall as Agent may specify, either cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Loan Party or such nominee, or arrange for Agent to become the registered owner of the securities.

(ii) Loan Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, after the Closing Date open, establish or maintain any investment account, securities account, commodity account, futures account or any other similar account (other than a deposit account) with any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: Agent shall have received prior written notice of the intention of such Loan Party to open or establish such account which notice shall specify in reasonable detail and specificity the name of the account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary at which such account is to be opened or established, the individual at such intermediary with whom such Loan Party is dealing, and on or before the opening of such investment account, securities account or other similar account with a securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary, such Loan Party shall as Agent may specify either (A) execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered to Agent, an Investment Property Control Agreement with respect thereto duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Loan Party and such securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or futures intermediary or (B) arrange for Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property on terms and conditions acceptable to Agent.

(f) Loan Parties are not the beneficiary or otherwise entitled to any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument as of the Closing Date with a face amount in excess of $1,000,000. In the event that any Loan Party shall be entitled to or shall receive any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or any similar instrument with a face amount in excess of $5,000,000, when added together with other similar instruments in favor of the other Loan Parties, whether as beneficiary thereof or otherwise after the Closing Date, such Loan Party shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Such Loan Party shall promptly, as Agent may request, either (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent, with respect to any such letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument, the written agreement of the issuer and any other nominated person obligated to make any payment in respect thereof (including any confirming or negotiating bank), in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, consenting to the assignment of the proceeds of the letter of credit to Agent by such Loan Party and agreeing to make all payments thereon directly to Agent or as Agent may otherwise direct or (ii) cause Agent to become, at Borrowers’ expense, the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument (as the case may be).

(g) The U.S. Loan Parties do not have any commercial tort claims with a value in excess of $1,000,000 as of the Closing Date. In the event that any U.S. Loan Party shall at any time after the Closing Date have any such commercial tort claims, such U.S. Loan Party shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and nature of such commercial tort claim. Without limiting the authorization of Agent provided in Section 5.2(a) hereof or otherwise arising by the execution by such U.S. Loan Party of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized from time to time and at any time to file such financing statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such U.S. Loan Party as debtor, or any amendments to any financing statements, covering any such commercial tort claim as Collateral. In addition, each U.S. Loan Party shall promptly upon Agent’s request, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to Agent such other agreements, documents and instruments as Agent may require in connection with such commercial tort claim.

(h) Loan Parties shall take any other actions reasonably requested by Agent from time to time to cause the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Agent to enforce, the security interest of Agent in any and all of the Collateral (subject only to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liens permitted under Section 10.2), including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable law, to the extent, if any, that any Loan Party’s signature thereon is required therefor, (ii) causing Agent’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Agent to enforce, the security interest of Agent in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Agent to enforce, the security interest of Agent in such Collateral, and (iv) obtaining the consents and approvals of any Governmental Authority or third party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated

on Collateral, and taking all actions required by any earlier versions of the UCC, the PPSA or by other law, as applicable in any relevant jurisdiction; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall not be required to take any action to perfect the Liens of Agent, other than the filing of financing statements under the UCC or the PPSA, in any of the following assets: (A) any vehicles, aircraft or equipment subject to certificate of title statutes, (B) assets located in any country other than the United States or Canada, and (C) any “intent-to-use” Trademark applications until such time as a U.S. Loan Party has filed an amendment to allege use or a statement of use under 15 U.S.C. § 1051(c) or 15 U.S.C. § 1051(d), respectively, and has been deemed in conformance with 15 U.S.C. § 1051(a) or (c) in each case.

Agent shall maintain one or more loan account(s) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) all Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations and the Collateral, (b) all payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party and (c) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including fees, charges, costs, expenses and interest. All entries in the loan account(s) shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary practices as in effect from time to time.

6.2 Statements. Agent shall render to the Administrative Borrower each month a statement setting forth the balance in the Borrowers’ loan account(s) maintained by Agent for Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Loan Parties and conclusively binding upon Loan Parties as an account stated except to the extent that Agent receives a written notice from the Administrative Borrower of any specific exceptions of the Administrative Borrower thereto within sixty (60) days after the date such statement has been received by the Company. Until such time as Agent shall have rendered to the Administrative Borrower a written statement as provided above, the balance in any Borrower’s loan account(s) shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by Loan Parties.

6.3 Collection of Accounts.

(a) As soon as possible but not later than the 90^th day following the Closing Date, Borrowers shall maintain Deposit Account Control Agreements in favor of Agent on their deposit accounts to the extent required by and in accordance with Section 5.2(d). If at any time during such 90-day period Total Excess Availability shall be less than $70,000,000 and Borrowers shall not have obtained Deposit Account Control Agreements in favor of Agent on their deposit accounts to the extent required by and in accordance with Section 5.2(d), Borrowers shall immediately prepay Loans and/or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount necessary to increase Total Excess Availability to an amount equal to or greater than $70,000,000. Except following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event, Agent will not give notice under any Deposit Account Control Agreement terminating the Borrowers’ right to have access to such deposit accounts or give instructions with respect thereto. Immediately upon the occurrence of any Cash Dominion Event, the Borrowers, upon

the request of the Agent, shall deliver to Agent a schedule of all deposit accounts, that to the knowledge of the Borrowers, are maintained by the Loan Parties, which schedule includes, with respect to each depository (i) the name and address of such depository, (ii) the account name and number(s) maintained with such depository and (iii) a contact person at such depository. The occurrence of a Cash Dominion Event shall be deemed continuing (unless Agent otherwise agrees in its reasonable discretion or Agent, in its reasonable credit judgment, has determined that the circumstances surrounding such Cash Dominion Event cease to exist) (x) so long as any Event of Default is continuing that has not been waived and/or (y) if the Cash Dominion Event arises as a result of (1) Total Excess Availability being less than the Threshold Amount, until Total Excess Availability for any ninety (90) consecutive calendar days is equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount and/or (2) Excess Liquidity being less than $100,000,000, until Excess Liquidity for any ninety (90) consecutive calendar days is equal to or greater than $100,000,000; provided that a third Cash Dominion Event shall be deemed to continue for the entire term of the Credit Facility notwithstanding the occurrence of an event described in clause (x) or (y) above.

(b) Borrowers shall establish and maintain, at their expense, blocked accounts or lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in either case, “Blocked Accounts”), as Agent may specify, into which Borrowers shall promptly deposit and direct their respective account debtors to directly remit all payments on Accounts and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, other Collateral in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner. Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by each bank where a Blocked Account is maintained as provided in Section 5.2 hereof or at any time and from time to time Agent may become the bank’s customer with respect to any of the Blocked Accounts and promptly upon Agent’s request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver such agreements and documents as Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith. Each agreement entered into with respect to a Blocked Account shall provide Agent with the ability, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, to direct that all payments to the Blocked Accounts shall be swept daily to the Agent Payment Account. Each Loan Party agrees that all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Agent or any Lender, whether in respect of the Accounts, as proceeds of Inventory or, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, other Collateral or otherwise shall be treated as payments to Agent and Lenders in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the property of Agent and Lenders to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations.

(c) For purposes of calculating the amount of the Loans available to each Borrower, such payments will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations on the Business Day of receipt by Agent of immediately available funds in the Agent Payment Account provided such payments and notice thereof are received not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day. For the purposes of calculating interest on the Obligations, such payments or other funds received will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations one (1) Business Day(s) following the date of receipt of immediately available funds by Agent in the Agent Payment Account provided such payments or other funds and notice thereof are received not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day. All payments received by Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event, each Loan Party and their respective employees, agents and Subsidiaries shall, acting as trustee for Agent, receive, as the property of Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, other Collateral which come into their possession or under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Agent. In no event shall the same be commingled with any Loan Party’s other funds. Borrowers agree to reimburse Agent on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank or other financial institution at which a Blocked Account or any other deposit account or investment account is established or any other bank, financial institution or other person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Agent’s payments to or indemnification of such bank, financial institution or other person. The obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Agent for such amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.4 Payments.

(a) All Obligations of U.S. Borrowers and U.S. Guarantors shall be payable to the Agent Payment Account and all Canadian Obligations of Canadian Borrowers and Canadian Guarantors shall be payable to the Canadian Payment Account. Agent shall apply payments received or collected from any U.S. Borrower or U.S. Guarantor or for the account of any U.S. Borrower or U.S. Guarantor (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any U.S. Collateral, but subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) as follows: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to Agent, Issuing Banks and U.S. Swingline Lender from any U.S. Borrower or U.S. Guarantor; second, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to Lenders from any U.S. Borrower or U.S. Guarantor; third, to pay interest due and principal in respect of U.S. Swingline Loans; fourth, to pay interest due in respect of any U.S. Loans (other than U.S. Swingline Loans, but including any Special Agent Advances); fifth, to pay principal in respect of Special Agent Advances (other than Excess Special Agent Advances) relating to U.S. Collateral or the U.S. Loan Parties; sixth, to pay principal in respect of all U.S. Loans and the aggregate amount of all drawings under U.S. Letters of Credit for which any Issuing Bank has not at such time been reimbursed; seventh, to cash collateralize any U.S. Letter of Credit Obligations; eighth, to pay principal in respect of Excess Special Agent Advances relating to U.S. Collateral or the U.S. Loan Parties; ninth, to pay or prepay any U.S. Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Noticed Bank Products, on a pro rata basis; tenth, to pay or prepay any other U.S. Obligations then due arising under any other Bank Products; and eleventh, to pay any of the Canadian Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) unless so directed by the Administrative Borrower, or unless an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall not apply any payments that it receives to any Eurodollar Rate Loans made to a U.S. Borrower, except on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Rate Loans made to a U.S. Borrower or in the event that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans made to a U.S. Borrower, and (ii) to the extent any U.S. Borrower uses any proceeds of the U.S. Loans or Letters of Credit to acquire rights in or the use of any U.S. Collateral or to

repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any U.S. Collateral, payments in respect of the Obligations shall be deemed applied first to the U.S. Obligations arising from U.S. Loans and U.S. Letter of Credit Obligations that were not used for such purposes, and second, to the U.S. Obligations arising from U.S. Loans and U.S. Letter of Credit Obligations the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or the use of any U.S. Collateral in the chronological order in which such U.S. Borrower acquired such rights in or the use of such U.S. Collateral.

(b) Agent shall apply payments received or collected from Canadian Borrower or any Guarantor of the Canadian Obligations (including any payments made by U.S. Borrowers and U.S. Guarantors) or for the account of Canadian Borrowers or any Canadian Guarantor of the Canadian Obligations (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Canadian Collateral) as follows: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to Agent, Issuing Banks and Canadian Swingline Lender from Canadian Borrowers; second, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to Canadian Lenders from Canadian Borrowers; third, to pay interest due and principal in respect of Canadian Swingline Loans; fourth, to pay interest due in respect of any Canadian Obligations (other than Canadian Swingline Loans, but including any Special Agent Advances); fifth, to pay principal in respect of Special Agent Advances (other than Excess Special Agent Advances) relating to Canadian Collateral or the Canadian Loan Parties; sixth, to pay principal in respect of the Canadian Loans and the aggregate amount of all drawings under Canadian Letters of Credit for which any Issuing Bank has not at such time been reimbursed; seventh, to cash collateralize any Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations; eighth, to pay principal in respect of Excess Special Agent Advances relating to Canadian Collateral or the Canadian Loan Parties; ninth, to pay or prepay any Canadian Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Noticed Bank Products, on a pro rata basis; and tenth, to pay or prepay any other Canadian Obligations then due arising under any other Bank Products. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) unless so directed by the Administrative Borrower, or unless an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall not apply any payments it receives to any (A) Canadian BA Rate Loans made to a Canadian Borrower, except on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Canadian BA Rate Loans or in the event that there are no outstanding Canadian Base Rate Loans made to a Canadian Borrower or (B) Eurodollar Rate Loans made to a Canadian Borrower, except on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Rate Loans or in the event that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans made to a Canadian Borrower and (ii) to the extent any Canadian Borrower uses any proceeds of the Canadian Loans to acquire rights in or the use of any Canadian Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any Canadian Collateral, payments in respect of the Canadian Obligations shall be deemed applied first to the Canadian Obligations arising from the Canadian Loans or Canadian Letters of Credit that were not used for such purposes and second, to the Canadian Obligations arising from Canadian Loans and Canadian Letters of Credit the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or the use of any Canadian Collateral in the chronological order in which Canadian Borrowers acquired such rights in or the use of such Canadian Collateral.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Loan Documents, (i) all payments by or on behalf of Canadian Borrowers and Canadian Guarantors shall be applied only to the Canadian Obligations, (ii) all payments on behalf of a U.S. Borrower or U.S. Guarantor shall be applied first to U.S. Obligations then due until paid in full, (iii) all

payments in respect of the Canadian Obligations shall be applied first to Canadian Obligations denominated in the same currency as the payments received; provided that payments and collections received in any currency other than the currency in which any outstanding Obligations are denominated will be accepted and/or applied at the discretion of the Agent, in the event that Agent elects to accept and apply such amounts when there are no Obligations (other than Letter of Credit Obligations or other contingent Obligations) then outstanding in the same currency, Agent may, at its option (but is not obligated to), convert such currency received to the currency in which the Obligations are denominated at the Exchange Rate on such date (regardless of whether such rate is the best available rate) and in such event, Borrowers shall pay the costs of such conversion (or Agent may, at its option, charge such costs to the loan account of any Borrower maintained by Agent) and (iv) to the extent any Borrower or Guarantor, directly or indirectly, uses any proceeds of the applicable Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral, payments in respect of the Obligations shall be deemed applied first to the Obligations arising from Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations that were not used for such purposes and second to the Obligations arising from Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral in the chronological order in which such Borrower acquired such rights in or the use of such Collateral.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by Administrative Borrower, or unless a Default or an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall not apply any payments which it receives to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, except (i) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Rate Loans or (ii) in the event that there are no outstanding U.S. Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that Agent will attempt to honor any written request received from Administrative Borrower to hold such payment until the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, it being understood and agreed that Agent shall have no liability for any failure to do so. To the extent Agent or any Lender receives any payments or collections in respect of the U.S. Obligations in a currency other than Dollars, or in respect of the Canadian Obligations, in a currency other than Canadian Dollars, Agent may, at its option (but is not obligated to), convert such other currency to Dollars (and, as to the Canadian Obligations, Canadian Dollars) at the Exchange Rate on such date and in such market as Agent may select (regardless of whether such rate is the best available rate). U.S. Borrowers shall pay the costs of such conversion (or Agent may, at its option, charge such costs to the loan account of any U.S. Borrower maintained by Agent). Payments and collections received in any currency other than the currency in which any outstanding Obligations are denominated will be accepted and/or applied at the discretion of Agent. Any and all payments by or on account of the Obligations shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction.

(e) For purposes of this Section 6.4, “Paid in full” and “payment in full” and “prepayment in full” means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specially including interest accrued after the commencement of any case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any similar domestic or foreign similar statute), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) or any similar statute in any

jurisdiction, but excluding (i) interest to the extent paid in excess of amounts based on the pre-default rates (but not any other interest) and (ii) fees paid in respect of the waiver of an Event of Default, in each case as to amounts under clauses (i) and (ii) above only to the extent that such amounts are disallowed in any case under the United States Bankruptcy Code. Amounts distributed with respect to any Bank Products shall be the actual amount owing under such Bank Product as calculated by the applicable Bank Product Provider and reported in writing to Agent. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Bank Product, but may rely upon written notice of the amount (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) from the applicable Bank Product Provider. In the absence of such notice, Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is the amount of such Bank Product last reported to it.

(f) At Agent’s option, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of any applicable Borrower maintained by Agent. If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender. Loan Parties shall be liable to pay to Agent, and do hereby indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless for the amount of any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 6.4(f) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 6.4 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

6.5 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any of the Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any setoff, counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, charges, withholdings, liabilities, restrictions or conditions of any kind imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding all Excluded Taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable in respect of the Obligations to any Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6.5), such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to Agent evidence of such payment.

(c) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United

States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(d) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender, Issuing Bank and Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 6.5) paid by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Administrative Borrower by a Lender, Issuing Bank (with a copy to Agent) or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall furnish to Agent, at its address referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements of any Loan Party hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of such Loan Party contained in this Section 6.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations.

(g) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or Agent (in such number of copies as is reasonably requested by the recipient), whichever of the following is applicable (but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so): (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming exemption from, or a reduction to, withholding tax under an income tax treaty, or any successor form, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 8-8ECI claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business or any successor form, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a certificate of the Lender to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” described and Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption or any successor form or (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States or Canadian withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by

applicable law to permit a Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Unless the Administrative Borrower and Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to or for a Foreign Lender are not subject to United States or Canadian withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, Borrowers or Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable requirements of law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(h) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(i) If Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that is has received a refund of an additional amount from any Loan Party pursuant to Section 6.5(b), Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, Issuing Bank 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. Each Loan Party, upon request of the Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

6.6 Authorization to Make Loans. Agent and Lenders are authorized to make the Loans based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an officer of Administrative Borrower or any Borrower or other authorized person or, at the discretion of Agent, if such Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations. All requests for Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder shall specify the date on which the requested advance is to be made (which day shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Loan. Requests received after 11:00 a.m. on any day shall be deemed to have been made as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. All Loans and Letters of Credit under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, any Loan Party when deposited to the credit of any Loan Party or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of any Loan Party or in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6.7 Use of Proceeds. Loans made or Letters of Credit provided to or for the benefit of any Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by such Borrower only for general operating, working capital and other proper corporate purposes of such Borrower not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof, including Permitted Acquisitions. None of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for

the purposes of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended.

6.8 Appointment of Administrative Borrower as Agent for Requesting Loans and Receipts of Loans and Statements.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Administrative Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact to request and receive Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents from Agent or any Lender in the name or on behalf of such Borrower. Agent and Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank account of the Administrative Borrower or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower and provide such Letters of Credit to a Borrower as the Administrative Borrower may designate or direct, without notice to any other Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower.

(b) The Administrative Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 6.8. The Administrative Borrower shall ensure that the disbursement of any Loans to each Borrower requested by or paid to or for the account of the Company, or the issuance of any Letter of Credit for a Borrower hereunder, shall be paid to or for the account of such Borrower.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Administrative Borrower as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d) Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any other Loan Party by Administrative Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Loan Party, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Loan Party to the same extent as if made directly by such Loan Party.

(e) No purported termination of the appointment of the Administrative Borrower as agent as aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Agent.

6.9 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by Lenders: (a) the making and conversion of Loans shall be made among the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to the Loans and (b) each payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of Lenders in respect of any Obligations due on a particular day shall be allocated among the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) entitled to such payments based on their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall be distributed accordingly.

6.10 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) Each Loan Party agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (but subject, as among Agent and Lenders, to the provisions of Section 13.4(b) and Section 6.10(b) hereof), to offset balances held by it for the account of such Loan Party at any of its offices, in dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any Loans owed to such Lender or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party), in which case it shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and Agent thereof; provided that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

(b) If any Lender (including Agent or any Applicable Designee) shall obtain from any Loan Party payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more than its Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Loans or more than its share of such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by any Loan Party to such Lender than the percentage thereof received by any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the amount of such excess and simultaneously purchase from such other Lenders a participation in the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or such interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as otherwise agreed by Lenders. To such end all Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participation sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(c) Each Loan Party agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation (or direct interest) as provided in this Section 6.10 may exercise, in a manner consistent with this Section 6.10, all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaims or similar rights or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Loan Party. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 6.10 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, assign such rights to Agent for the benefit of Lenders and, in any event, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this Section 6.10 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

6.11 Settlement Procedures.

(a) In order to administer the Credit Facility in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between Agent and Lenders, Agent may, at its option, subject to the terms of this Section 6.11, make available, on behalf of Lenders, the full amount of the Loans requested or charged to any Borrower’s loan account(s) or otherwise to be advanced by Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof up to an aggregate amount of $15,000,000, without requirement of prior notice to Lenders of the proposed Loans.

(b) With respect to all Loans made by Agent on behalf of Lenders as provided in this Section 6.11, the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans shall be computed weekly, and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Loans as of 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each settlement computation; provided that Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the above described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly. Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders after the end of each week, or at such lesser period or periods as Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereinafter referred to as a “Settlement Period”). If the summary statement is sent by Agent and received by a Lender prior to 12:00 noon, then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer described in this Section 6.11 by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the same Business Day and if received by a Lender after 12:00 noon, then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer by not later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day following the date of receipt. If, as of the end of any Settlement Period, the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans is more than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans as of the end of the previous Settlement Period, then such Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the preceding sentence) transfer to Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the increase. Alternatively, if the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans for the previous Settlement Period, Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the decrease. The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds and effect such settlement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by Agent. Agent and each Lender agrees to ▇▇▇▇ its books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit. Each Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Loans to the extent such Loans have been funded by such Lender. Because the Agent on behalf of Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Loans prior to the time when Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid such Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by Agent in accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by Borrowers or actually settled with the applicable Lender as described in this Section 6.11.

(c) To the extent that Agent has made any such amounts available and the settlement described above shall not yet have occurred, upon repayment of any Loans by a Borrower, Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to any amounts made available by Agent pursuant to this Section 6.11. In lieu of weekly or more frequent settlements, Agent may,

at its option, at any time require each Lender to provide Agent with immediately available funds representing its Pro Rata Share of each Loan, prior to Agent’s disbursement of such Loan to Borrower. In such event, all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan hereunder.

(d) If Agent is not funding a particular Loan to a Borrower (or the Administrative Borrower for the benefit of such Borrower) pursuant to Sections 6.11(a) and 6.11(b) above on any day, but is requiring each Lender to provide Agent with immediately available funds on the date of such Loan as provided in Section 6.11(c) above, Agent may assume that each Lender will make available to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan requested or otherwise made on such day and Agent may, in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to or for the benefit of such Borrower on such day. If Agent makes such corresponding amount available to a Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s option based on the arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of Agent’s demand, at the highest Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Base Rate Loans. During the period in which such Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the amount so advanced by Agent to or for the benefit of any Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Loan made by Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay Agent, Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Administrative Borrower of such failure and Borrowers shall pay such corresponding amount to Agent for its own account within five (5) Business Days of the Administrative Borrower’s receipt of such notice. A Lender (i) who fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loans, participations in Letter of Credit Obligations or participations in Swingline Loans required to be funded by it hereunder and such failure is not cured within one (1) Business Day or (ii) against which a case or proceeding under the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation laws or statutes of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect (whether at a law or equity) is commenced, is a “Defaulting Lender”. Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, relend to a Borrower the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0) (provided that the foregoing is not intended to relieve such Defaulting Lender from

its Commitment obligation). This Section 6.11 shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until such default is cured. The operation of this Section 6.11 shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by any Loan Party of their duties and obligations hereunder.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.11 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by any Lender hereunder in fulfilling its Commitment.

6.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and subject to Section 13.4 hereof, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

6.13 Bank Products. Loan Parties, or any of their Subsidiaries, may (but no such Person is required to) request that the Bank Product Providers provide or arrange for such Person to obtain Bank Products from Bank Product Providers, and each Bank Product Provider may, in its sole discretion, provide or arrange for such Person to obtain the requested Bank Products. Any Loan Party and any of its Subsidiaries that obtains Bank Products shall indemnify and hold Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates harmless from any and all obligations now or hereafter owing to any other Person by any Bank Product Provider in connection with any Bank Products other than for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any such indemnified Person. This Section 6.13 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of Bank Products from Bank Product Providers (a) is in the sole discretion of such Bank Product Provider, and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of such Bank Product Provider.

SECTION 7 COLLATERAL REPORTING AND COVENANTS

7.1 Collateral Reporting.

No credit, discount, allowance or extension or agreement for any of the foregoing shall be granted to any account debtor without Agent’s consent, except in the ordinary course of a Loan Party’s business in accordance with practices and policies previously disclosed in writing to Agent and except as set forth in the schedules delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above. So long as no Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Loan Parties shall settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with any account debtor.

(b) Agent shall have the right during its regularly scheduled field examinations and at any other time or times that Agent may determine in its reasonable credit judgment, in Agent’s name or in the name of a nominee of Agent, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts or other Collateral, by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise.

7.3 Inventory Covenants. With respect to the Inventory: (a) each Loan Party shall at all times maintain inventory records, keeping correct and accurate records itemizing and

describing the kind, type, quality and quantity of Inventory and such Loan Party’s cost therefor; (b) Loan Parties shall conduct a physical count of the Inventory in accordance with the Loan Parties’ historical practice in effect on the Closing Date but at any time or times as Agent may request upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or a Cash Dominion Event, and promptly following such physical inventory shall supply Agent with a report in the form and with such specificity as may be satisfactory to Agent concerning such physical count; (c) Loan Parties shall not remove any Inventory from the locations set forth or permitted herein, without the prior written consent of Agent, except for sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of its business and except to move Inventory directly from one location set forth or permitted herein to another such location and except for Inventory shipped from the manufacturer thereof to such Loan Party which is in transit to the locations set forth or permitted herein; (d) upon Agent’s request, Borrowers shall, at their expense, no more than four (4) times in any twelve (12) month period, but at any time or times as Agent may request upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, deliver or cause to be delivered to Agent written appraisals as to the Inventory in form, scope and methodology acceptable to Agent and by an appraiser acceptable to Agent, addressed to Agent and Lenders and upon which Agent and Lenders are expressly permitted to rely; provided that if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Excess Liquidity is at least $100,000,000 and Total Excess Availability is greater than the Threshold Amount, the Borrowers shall be required to bear the cost of only two (2) such appraisals in any twelve (12) month period; (e) Loan Parties shall produce, use, store and maintain the Inventory with all reasonable care and caution and in accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity with applicable laws (including the requirements of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended and all rules, regulations and orders related thereto); (f) none of the Inventory or other Collateral constitutes farm products or the proceeds thereof; (g) each Loan Party assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the production, use, sale or other disposition of the Inventory; (h) Loan Parties shall keep the Inventory in good and marketable condition (other than Inventory that is old or obsolete or that the Loan Parties no longer intend to sell in the ordinary course of business); and (i) Loan Parties shall not, without prior written notice to Agent or the specific identification of such Inventory in a report with respect thereto provided by the Administrative Borrower to Agent pursuant to Section 7.1(a) hereof, acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval.

With respect to the Equipment and Real Property: (a) Loan Parties shall keep the Equipment in good order and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted); (b) Loan Parties shall use the Equipment and Real Property with all reasonable care and caution and in accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in material conformity with all applicable laws; and (c) the Equipment is and shall be used in the business of Loan Parties and not for personal, family, household or farming use.

7.5 Power of Attorney. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent (and all persons designated by Agent) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes Agent, in such Loan Party’s or Agent’s name, to: (a) at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing (i) demand payment on Accounts or other Collateral, (ii) enforce payment of Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of such Loan Party’s rights and remedies to collect any Account or other Collateral, (iv) sell or assign any Account upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as the Agent

Each Loan Party hereby releases Agent and Lenders and their respective officers, employees and designees from any liabilities arising from any act or acts under this power of attorney and in furtherance thereof, whether of omission or commission, except as a result of Agent’s or any Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.6 Right to Cure. Agent may, at its option, upon notice to the Administrative Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (a) cure any default by any Loan Party under any material agreement with a third party that affects the Collateral, its value or the ability of Agent to collect, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or the rights and remedies of Agent or any Lender therein or the ability of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (b) pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against any Loan Party, (c) discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or existing with respect to the Collateral and (d) pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which, in Agent’s judgment, is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain the Collateral and the rights of Agent and Lenders with respect thereto. Agent may add any amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge any Borrower’s account therefor, such amounts to be repayable by Borrowers on demand; provided, that the Canadian Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such amounts in excess of the Canadian Borrower Percentage thereof. Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation to

100

effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of any Loan Party. Any payment made or other action taken by Agent or any Lender under this Section 7.6 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed accordingly.

7.7 Access to Premises. From time to time as requested by Agent, at the cost and expense of Borrowers, (a) Agent or its designee shall have complete access to all of each Loan Party’s premises during normal business hours and after notice to the Administrative Borrower, or at any time and without notice to the Administrative Borrower if an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, for the purposes of inspecting, verifying and auditing the Collateral and all of each Loan Party’s books and records, including the Records, and (b) each Loan Party shall promptly furnish to Agent such copies of such books and records or extracts therefrom as Agent may request, and Agent or any Lender or Agent’s designee may use during normal business hours such of any Loan Party’s personnel, equipment, supplies and premises as may be reasonably necessary for the foregoing and if an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing for the collection of Accounts and realization of other Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall be permitted to conduct no more than four (4) field examinations and no more than four (4) appraisals during any twelve (12) consecutive month period; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Excess Liquidity is at least $100,000,000 and Total Excess Availability is greater than the Threshold Amount, the Borrowers shall be required to bear the cost of only two (2) such field examinations and two (2) such appraisals in any twelve (12) month period; and provided, further, that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, there is no limit on the number of field examinations and appraisals which may be conducted by Agent or any Lender and the Borrowers shall be required to bear the cost of all such field examinations and appraisals. For the avoidance of doubt, in any twelve (12) month period, a field examination of the U.S. Collateral and a field examination of the Canadian Collateral occurring in such period shall constitute one field examination. The Canadian Borrowers shall bear the cost of all such field examinations and appraisals involving Canadian Collateral and the U.S. Borrowers shall bear the cost of all such field examinations and appraisals involving U.S. Collateral.

The projections that have been delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 4.1(s) or any projections hereafter delivered to Agent have been prepared in light of the past operations of the businesses of Loan Parties and are based upon estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of which Loan Parties have determined to be reasonable and fair in light of the then current conditions and current facts and reflect the good faith and reasonable estimates of Loan Parties of the future financial performance of the Company and its Subsidiaries and of the other information projected therein for the periods set forth therein; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made as to the impact of future general economic or industry conditions or as to whether the Borrowers’ projected consolidated results as set forth in the projections will actually be realized, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results for the periods covered by the projections may differ materially from the projections.

Except as set forth in Schedule 8.6, (a) there is no investigation by any Governmental Authority pending, or to the best of any Loan Party’s knowledge threatened, against or affecting any Loan Party, its or their assets or business and (b) there is no action, suit, proceeding or claim by any Person pending, or to the best of any Loan Party’s knowledge threatened, against any Loan Party or its or their assets or goodwill, or against or affecting any transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, which if adversely determined against such Loan Party has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.7 Compliance with Other Agreements and Applicable Laws.

(a) Loan Parties are not in default in any material respect under, or in violation in any respect of the terms of, any Material Contract. Loan Parties are in compliance with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority relating to their respective businesses, including, without limitation, those set forth in or promulgated pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, ERISA, the Code, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and all Environmental Laws, except to the extent that any noncompliance or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

103

(b) Loan Parties have obtained all material permits, licenses, approvals, consents, certificates, orders or authorizations of any Governmental Authority required for the lawful conduct of its business (the “Permits”). All of the Permits are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect. There are no actions, claims or proceedings pending or, to the best of any Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened that seek the revocation, cancellation, suspension or modification of any of the Permits, which such revocation, cancellation, suspension or modification could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.8 Environmental Compliance.

(a) No Loan Party and no Subsidiary of any Loan Party has generated, used, stored, treated, transported, manufactured, handled, produced or disposed of any Hazardous Materials, on or off its premises (whether or not owned by it) in any manner which at any time violates in any respect any applicable Environmental Law or Permit, except to the extent that any such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) There has been no investigation by any Governmental Authority or any proceeding, complaint, order, directive, claim, citation or notice by any Governmental Authority or any other person nor is any pending or to the best of any Loan Party’s knowledge threatened, with respect to any non compliance with or violation of the requirements of any Environmental Law by any Loan Party and any Subsidiary of any Loan Party or the release, spill or discharge, threatened or actual, of any Hazardous Material or the generation, use, storage, treatment, transportation, manufacture, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous Materials or any other environmental, health or safety matter, which adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any respect any Loan Party or its or their business, operations or assets or any properties at which such Loan Party has transported, stored or disposed of any Hazardous Materials, except to the extent that any such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Neither any Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material liability (contingent or otherwise) in connection with a release, spill or discharge, threatened or actual, of any Hazardous Materials or the generation, use, storage, treatment, transportation, manufacture, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous Materials.

8.9 Employee Benefits.

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or State law. Each Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and to the best of any U.S. Loan Party’s knowledge, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such qualification. Each U.S. Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates have made all required contributions to any Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan.

104

(b) There are no pending, or to the best of any U.S. Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan.

(c) Except as could not be reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (ii) except as set forth in Schedule 8.9, based on the latest valuation of each Pension Plan and on the actuarial methods and assumptions employed for such valuation (determined in accordance with the assumptions used for funding such Pension Plan pursuant to Section 412 of the Code), the aggregate current value of accumulated benefit liabilities of such Pension Plan under Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA does not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan; (iii) each U.S. Loan Party, and their ERISA Affiliates, have not incurred and do not reasonably expect to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA); (iv) each U.S. Loan Party, and their ERISA Affiliates, have not incurred and do not reasonably expect to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and (v) each U.S. Loan Party, and their ERISA Affiliates, have not engaged in a transaction that would be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

(d) Each Canadian Pension Plan and each Canadian Benefit Plan is in compliance with its applicable terms, any funding agreements and all applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations (including any funding, investment and administration obligations), except where the failure to comply with such applicable terms, funding agreements or applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Canadian Pension Plans that require registration are duly registered under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any other applicable laws.

11.2 Remedies.

(a) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent and Lenders shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the UCC, PPSA and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to or consent by any Loan Party, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents, the UCC, PPSA or other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in Agent’s discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by any Loan Party of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Subject to Section 13 hereof, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, at any time or times, proceed directly against any Loan Party to collect the Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent may, at its option and shall upon the direction of the Required Lenders, (i) upon notice to the Administrative Borrower, accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Agent for itself and the benefit of Lenders (provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 11.1(f), 11.1(g) and 11.1(h), all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable), and (ii) terminate the Commitments whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan and Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate (provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 11.1(f), 11.1(g) and 11.1(h), the Commitments and any other obligation of Agent or a Lender hereunder shall automatically terminate).

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, Agent may, in its discretion (i) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the

134

Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) require any Loan Party, at Borrowers’ expense, to assemble and make available to Agent any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Agent, (iii) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (iv) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (v) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, at any office of Agent or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Agent may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with Agent having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of any Loan Party, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Loan Parties and/or (vi) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Agent upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Agent. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by Agent to the Administrative Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Loan Parties waive any other notice. In the event Agent institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, each Loan Party waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, upon Agent’s request, Borrowers will either, as Agent shall specify, furnish cash collateral to Issuing Bank to be used to secure and fund the reimbursement obligations to Issuing Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit Obligations or furnish cash collateral to Agent for the Letter of Credit Obligations. Such cash collateral shall be in the amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations plus the amount of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest expiration date of the Letters of Credit giving rise to such Letter of Credit Obligations.

(d) At any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent may, in its discretion, enforce the rights of any Loan Party against any account debtor, secondary obligor or other obligor in respect of any of the Accounts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may, in its discretion, at such time or times (i) notify any or all account debtors, secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof that the Accounts have been assigned to Agent and that Agent has a Lien therein and Agent may direct any or all account debtors, secondary obligors and other obligors to make payment of Accounts directly to Agent, (ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Accounts or other obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Accounts or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and Agent and Lenders shall not be liable for any failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto and (iv) take whatever other action Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests and the interests of Lenders. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at Agent’s request, all invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall

135

state that the Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to Agent and are payable directly and only to Agent and Loan Parties shall deliver to Agent such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as Agent may require. In the event any account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall, upon Agent’s request, hold the returned Inventory in trust for Agent, segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other property, dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to Agent’s instructions, and not issue any credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto without Agent’s prior written consent.

(e) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent or any Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent or Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent or Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.2(e) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by Agent or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.2(e). Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.2(e) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent or Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 11.2(e).

136

(f) For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise the rights and remedies hereunder, each Loan Party hereby grants to Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable at any time an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and for so long as the same is continuing) without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Loan Party, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks, trade names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos and other source of business identifiers and other Intellectual Property and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party, wherever the same maybe located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

(g) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent may apply the cash proceeds of U.S. Collateral or Canadian Collateral actually received by Agent from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral to payment of the U.S. Obligations or Canadian Obligations, in whole or in part and in accordance with the terms hereof, whether or not then due or may hold such proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations. Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(h) Without limiting the foregoing, (i) upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Agent and Lenders may, at Agent’s option, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default at the direction of the Required Lenders, Agent and Lenders shall, without notice, (A) cease making Loans or arranging for Letters of Credit or reduce the lending formulas or amounts of Loans and Letters of Credit available to Borrowers and/or (B) terminate any provision of this Agreement providing for any future Loans to be made by Agent and Lenders or Letters of Credit to be issued by Issuing Bank and (ii) Agent may, at its option, establish such Reserves as Agent determines, without limitation or restriction, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein.

In any such litigation, Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this Agreement. Each Loan Party: (i) certifies that neither Agent, any Lender, Issuing Bank nor any representative, agent or attorney acting for or on behalf of Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents

12.2 Waiver of Notices. Each Loan Party hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of dishonor with respect to any and all instruments and chattel paper, included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other demands and notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party which Agent or any Lender may elect to give shall entitle such Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

12.3 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by Agent and the Required Lenders or at Agent’s option, by Agent with the authorization or consent of the Required Lenders, and as to amendments to any of the Loan Documents (other than with respect to any provision of Section 13 hereof), by each Loan Party and such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination shall be effective and binding as to the Agent, all Lenders and Issuing Bank only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; except, that, no such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination shall:

(ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect or provided hereunder, in each case without the consent of the Lender directly affected thereby,

(iii) release of all or substantially all of the value of any Collateral or release any material Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents (except as expressly required hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law and except as permitted under Section 13.12(b) hereof), without the consent of Agent and all of the Lenders,

(iv) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, without the consent of Agent and all of the Lenders,

Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a), this Agreement may be amended to increase the interest rate or any fees hereunder solely with the consent of the Agent and the Borrowers.

(b) Agent, Lenders, Swingline Lenders and Issuing Bank shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its or their rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed as provided herein. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.3(a) above, in connection with (i) a Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender, or (ii) any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, in the event that any Lender whose consent thereto is required shall fail to consent or fail to consent in a timely manner (such Lender being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”; such Non-Consenting Lender or such Defaulting Lender, as applicable, being referred to herein as an “Affected Lender”), but the consent of any other Lenders to such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that is required are obtained, if any, then Bank of America shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time thereafter, and upon the exercise by Bank of America of such right, such Affected Lender shall have the obligation, to sell, assign and transfer to Bank of America or such Eligible Transferee as Bank of America may specify, the Commitment of such Affected Lender and all rights and interests of such Affected Lender pursuant thereto. Bank of America shall provide the Affected Lender with prior written notice of its intent to exercise its right under this Section 12.3, which notice shall specify the date on which such purchase and sale shall occur. Such purchase and sale shall be pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance (whether or not executed by the Affected Lender), except that on the date of such purchase and sale, Bank of America, or such Eligible Transferee specified by Bank of America, shall pay to the Affected Lender (except as Bank of America and such Affected Lender may otherwise agree) the amount equal to: (i) the principal balance of the Loans held by the Affected Lender outstanding as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the effective date of such purchase and sale, plus (ii) amounts accrued and unpaid in respect of interest and fees payable to the Affected Lender to the effective date of the purchase (but in no event shall the Affected Lender be deemed entitled to any early termination fee). Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Affected Lender fails to execute same. Such purchase and sale shall be effective on the date of the payment of such amount to the Affected Lender and the Commitment of the Affected Lender shall terminate on such date.

140

(d) The consent of Agent shall be required for any amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in addition to the consent of the Lenders otherwise required by this Section 12.3 and the exercise by Agent of any of its rights hereunder with respect to Reserves or Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory shall not be deemed an amendment to the advance rates provided for in this Section 12.3. The consent of Issuing Bank shall be required for any amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of Issuing Bank hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in addition to the consent of the Lenders otherwise required by this Section 12.3, provided that the consent of Issuing Bank shall not be required for any other amendments, waivers or consents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.3(a) above, (i) in the event that Agent shall agree that any items otherwise required to be delivered to Agent as a condition of the initial Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder may be delivered after the Closing Date, Agent may, in its discretion, agree to extend the date for delivery of such items or take such other action as Agent may deem appropriate as a result of the failure to receive such items as Agent may determine or may waive any Event of Default as a result of the failure to receive such items, in each case without the consent of any Lender and (ii) Agent may consent to any change in the type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other legal structure of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries and amend the terms hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or desirable to reflect any such change, in each case without the approval of any Lender.

(e) The consent of Agent and a Bank Product Provider that is providing Bank Products and has outstanding any such Bank Products at such time that are secured hereunder shall be required for any amendment to the priority of payment of Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Hedge Agreements of a Loan Party or other Bank Products as set forth in Section 6.4(a) hereof.

12.4 [Reserved.]

12.5 Indemnification. Each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Agent, each Lender and Issuing Bank, and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, advisors and counsel and their respective Affiliates (each such person being an “Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel except that Loan Parties shall not have any obligation under this Section 12.5 to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to a matter covered

141

hereby resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction (but without limiting the obligations of Loan Parties as to any other Indemnitee). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.5 may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Loan Parties shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to Agent and Lenders in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section 12.5. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby. No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transaction contemplated hereby or thereby.

SECTION 13 THE AGENT

13.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities.

Agent may employ agents, bailees, custodians and attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such persons selected by it in good faith. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until the assignment thereof pursuant to an agreement (if and to the extent permitted herein) in form and substance satisfactory to Agent shall have been delivered to and acknowledged by Agent.

13.2 Quebec Security. For the purposes of holding any security granted by Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of any

142

bond issued by Borrowers or any Loan Party, each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of Agent to act as the person holding the power of attorney (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) of the Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment and authorization to act as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent (in such capacity, the “Custodian”) to act as agent and custodian for and on behalf of the Lenders and Issuing Bank to hold and be the sole registered holder of any bond which may be issued under any hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable law, and to execute for and on behalf of each Lender and Issuing Bank all related documents. Each of the Attorney and the Custodian shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney and the Custodian (as applicable) pursuant to any hypothec, bond, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lenders, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec, bond, or pledge on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Lender shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed: (i) the Attorney as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity, and (ii) the Custodian as the agent and custodian as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Custodian in such capacity. The substitution of Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13 shall also constitute the substitution of the Attorney and the Custodian.

13.3 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders or all of Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of Agent and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders.

13.4 Events of Default.

(a) Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or other failure of a condition precedent to the Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder, unless and until Agent has received written notice from a Lender, or Borrower specifying such Event of Default or any unfulfilled condition precedent, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default or Failure of Condition”. In the event that Agent receives

143

such a Notice of Default or Failure of Condition, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Agent shall (subject to Section 13.8) take such action with respect to any such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent as shall be directed by the Required Lenders to the extent provided for herein; provided that unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to or by reason of such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent, as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding the existence or occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or any other failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement to the contrary, unless and until otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, continue to make Loans and Issuing Bank may, but shall have no obligation to, issue or cause to be issued any Letter of Credit for the ratable account and risk of Lenders from time to time if Agent believes making such Loans or issuing or causing to be issued such Letter of Credit is in the best interests of Lenders.

(b) Except with the prior written consent of Agent, no Lender or Issuing Bank may assert or exercise any enforcement right or remedy in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations or other Obligations, as against any Loan Party or any of the Collateral or other property of any Loan Party.

13.5 Bank of America in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made and Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by it (and any successor acting as Agent), so long as Bank of America shall be a Lender hereunder, it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Bank of America in its individual capacity as Lender hereunder. Bank of America (and any successor acting as Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers (and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Agent, and Bank of America and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party and any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

13.6 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent and Issuing Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers hereunder and without limiting any obligations of Borrowers hereunder) ratably, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, for any and all claims of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that Agent is obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

144

13.7 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Agent or other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Loan Parties and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any term or provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any Loan Party. Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any information received by Agent from any Loan Party which is required to be provided to Lenders or deemed to be requested by Lenders hereunder and with a copy of any Notice of Default or Failure of Condition received by Agent from any Borrower or any Lender; provided that Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent or deemed requested by Lenders hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may come into the possession of Agent.

13.8 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 13.6 hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

13.9 Additional Loans. Agent shall not make any Loans nor shall Issuing Bank provide any Letter of Credit to any Borrower on behalf of Lenders intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Loan or Letter of Credit would cause: (a) the U.S. Borrower Outstandings to exceed the lesser of the U.S. Borrowing Base or the Maximum Credit minus Canadian Borrower Outstandings (a “U.S. Overadvance”); or (b) the Canadian Borrower Outstandings to exceed the least of (i) the Canadian Borrowing Base, (ii) the Canadian Credit Limit, or (iii) the Maximum Credit minus the U.S. Borrower Outstandings (a “Canadian Overadvance”), without the prior consent of all Lenders, except, that, unless its authority has been revoked in writing by the Required Lenders, Agent may make such additional Loans or Issuing Bank may provide such additional Letters of Credit on behalf of Lenders, intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Loans or Letter of Credit will cause a U.S. Overadvance or a Canadian Overadvance, as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its discretion; provided that:

(a) the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the additional Loans or additional Letters of Credit to any Borrower that Agent may make or provide after obtaining such actual knowledge of such U.S. Overadvance or Canadian Overadvance plus (ii) the amount of Special Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 13.12(a) hereof then outstanding, shall not exceed the aggregate amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Credit;

145

(b) the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit (including the additional Loans or additional Letters of Credit made pursuant to this Section 13.9), plus (ii) the amount of Special Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 13.12(a) hereof then outstanding, shall not exceed the Maximum Credit; and

(c) no such additional Loan or Letter of Credit shall be outstanding more than ninety (90) days after the date such additional Loan or Letter of Credit is made or issued (as the case may be), in each case, except as the Required Lenders may otherwise agree.

Each Lender shall be obligated to pay Agent the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any such additional Loans or Letters of Credit.

13.10 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

13.11 Field Audit, Examination Reports and other Information; Disclaimer by Lenders.

By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report and report with respect to the Canadian Borrowing Base and the U.S. Borrowing Base prepared or received by Agent (each field audit or examination report and report with respect to each of the Canadian Borrowing Base and the U.S. Borrowing Base being referred to herein as a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”), appraisals with respect to the Collateral and financial statements with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries received by Agent;

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent (i) does not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, appraisal or financial statement or (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, appraisal or financial statement;

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of Loan Parties’ personnel; and

(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use in accordance with the terms of Section 16.5 hereof, and not to distribute or use any Report in any other manner.

146

13.12 Collateral Matters.

(a) Agent may, at its option, from time to time, at any time on or after an Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing or upon any other failure of a condition precedent to the Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder, make such disbursements and advances (“Special Agent Advances”) which Agent, in its sole discretion, (i) deems necessary or desirable either to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof or (ii) to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by Loan Parties of the Loans and other Obligations, provided that (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Special Agent Advances outstanding at any time, plus the then outstanding principal amount of the additional Loans and Letters of Credit which Agent may make or provide as set forth in Section 13.9 hereof, shall not exceed the amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Credit and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Special Agent Advances outstanding at any time, plus the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit, shall not exceed the Maximum Credit, except at Agent’s option, provided that to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Special Agent Advances plus the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit exceed the Maximum Credit, the Special Agent Advances that are in excess of the Maximum Credit (“Excess Special Agent Advances”) shall be for the sole account and risk of Agent and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth below, no Lender shall have any obligation to provide its share of such Excess Special Agent Advances, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents consisting of costs, fees and expenses and payments to Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit Obligations. The Special Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and together with all interest thereon shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. Special Agent Advances shall not constitute Loans but shall otherwise constitute Obligations hereunder. Interest on Special Agent Advances shall be payable at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans and shall be payable on demand. Without limitation of its obligations pursuant to Section 6.11, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to Agent, upon Agent’s demand, in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Special Agent Advance not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment. If such funds are not made available to Agent by such Lender, such Lender shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender and Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds, on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s option based on the arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of Agent’s demand, at the highest Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Base Rate Loans. The Required Lenders may at any time by written notice to Agent (x) revoke Agent’s authority to make further Special Agent Advances and (y) instruct Agent to demand repayment of outstanding Special Agent Advances from the Loan Parties. Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Special Agent Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

(b) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any security interest in, mortgage or Lien upon, any of the Collateral (i)

147

upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations and delivery of cash collateral to the extent required under Section 16.1 below, or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Administrative Borrower or any Loan Party certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 10.1 hereof (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) constituting property in which any Loan Party did not own an interest at the time the security interest, mortgage or Lien was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) having a value in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period of less than $5,000,000, and to the extent Agent may release its security interest in and Lien upon any such Collateral pursuant to the sale or other disposition thereof, such sale or other disposition shall be deemed consented to by Lenders, or (v) if required or permitted under the terms of any of the other Loan Documents, including any intercreditor agreement, or (vi) approved, authorized or ratified in writing by all of Lenders. Except as provided above, Agent will not release any security interest in, mortgage or Lien upon, any of the Collateral without the prior written authorization of all of Lenders. Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will promptly confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.12. In no event shall the consent or approval of Issuing Bank to any release of Collateral be required.

(c) Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Required Lenders, each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon Agent under this Section 13.12. Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the security interest, mortgage or Liens granted to Agent upon any Collateral to the extent set forth above; provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such security interest, mortgage or Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any security interest, mortgage or Lien upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) the Collateral retained by such Loan Party.

(d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender, Issuing Bank or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect of the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the liens and security interests granted to Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Loan Documents or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender or Issuing Bank.

148

13.13 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby appoints Agent and each other Lender and Issuing Bank as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and Liens upon the Collateral of Agent in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and Agent and each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of any such Collateral for the benefit of Agent as secured party. Should any Lender or Issuing Bank obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

13.14 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders and the Company. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and the Company, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance by the Lender so selected of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” as used herein and in the other Loan Documents shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

13.15 Other Agent Designations. Agent may at any time and from time to time determine that a Lender may, in addition, be a “Co-Agent”, “Syndication Agent”, “Documentation Agent” or similar designation hereunder and enter into an agreement with such Lender to have it so identified for purposes of this Agreement. Any such designation shall be effective upon written notice by Agent to the Administrative Borrower of any such designation. Any Lender that is so designated as a Co-Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or such similar designation by Agent shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no Lender shall be deemed to have relied, nor shall any Lender rely, on a Lender so identified as a Co-Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or such similar designation in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

14.3 Nature of Liability. The liability of each U.S. Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations whether executed by any such Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and no U.S. Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by a Borrower or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution or termination of, or increase, decrease or change in personnel by, a Loan Party, or (e) any payment made to Agent or the Lenders on the Obligations that Agent or such Lenders repay a Loan Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the U.S. Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

14.4 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each U.S. Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Loan Party in respect of the Obligations, and a

150

14.5 Authorization. Each of the U.S. Guarantors authorizes Agent and each Lender 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) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement or the agreements governing Bank Products, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from any U.S. Guarantor or any other party for the payment of this U.S. Guaranty or the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers or obligors.

14.6 Reliance. It is not necessary for Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or other obligor of the Obligations 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 be guaranteed hereunder.

Agent may, at its election, foreclose on or otherwise enforce its rights under any security held by Agent by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy Agent or any Lender may have against any Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. Each of the U.S. Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by Agent or any of the Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the U.S. Guarantors against any Borrower or any other party or any security.

(b) Each of the U.S. Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this U.S. Guaranty, and notices of

Each of the U.S. Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which Agent or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations of any Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders to secure payment of the Obligations until such time as the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated.

14.8 Limitation on Enforcement. The Lenders agree that this U.S. Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Lender shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this U.S. Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders under the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 16 TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS

16.1 Term.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall become effective as of the date set forth on the first page hereof and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition, Borrowers may terminate this Agreement at any time upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) and Agent may, at its option, and shall at the direction of Required Lenders, terminate this Agreement at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing. Upon the Maturity Date or any other effective date of termination of the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall pay to Agent all outstanding and unpaid Obligations and shall furnish cash collateral to Agent (or at Agent’s option, a letter of credit issued for the account of Borrowers and at Borrowers’ expense, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, by an issuer acceptable to Agent and payable to Agent as beneficiary) in such amounts as Agent determines are reasonably necessary to secure Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank from loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection with any contingent Obligations, including issued and outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations and/or as to which Agent or any Lender has not yet received full and final payment and any continuing obligations of Agent or any Lender pursuant to any Deposit Account Control Agreement and for any of the Obligations arising under or in connection with any Bank Products in such amounts as the Bank Product Provider providing such Bank Products may require (unless such Obligations arising under or in connection with any Bank Products are paid in full in cash and terminated in a manner satisfactory to such Bank Product Provider). The amount of such cash collateral (or letter of credit, as Agent may determine) as to any Letter of Credit Obligations shall be in the amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations plus the amount of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest expiration date of the Letters of Credit giving rise to such Letter of Credit Obligations. Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in Federal funds to the Agent Payment Account or such other bank account of Agent, as Agent may, in its discretion, designate in writing to the Administrative Borrower for such purpose. Interest and fees shall be due until and including the next Business Day, if the amounts so paid by Borrowers to the Agent Payment Account or other bank account designated by Agent are received in such bank account later than 2:00 p.m.

(b) No termination of the Commitments, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall relieve or discharge any Loan Party of its respective duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid, and Agent’s continuing Lien upon the Collateral and the rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid. Accordingly, each Loan Party waives any rights it may have under the UCC or PPSA to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral and Agent shall not be required to send such termination statements to Loan Parties, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid and satisfied in full in immediately available funds.

Unless Agent otherwise requires, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communications is available and identifying the website address therefor.

16.4 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate this Agreement as a whole, but this Agreement shall be construed as though it did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid or unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law.

16.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Agent and each Lender (each, a “Lending Party”) agrees to keep confidential any information furnished or made available to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement that is marked confidential or as to which it is otherwise reasonably clear such information is not public; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lending Party from

161

disclosing such information (i) to any other Lending Party or any Affiliate of any Lending Party, or any officer, director, employee, agent, auditor, attorney or advisor of any Lending Party or Affiliate of any Lending Party (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (ii) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (iii) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority, (v) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to any Lending Party other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lending Party prohibited by this Agreement, (vi) in connection with any litigation to which such Lending Party or any of its Affiliates may be a party, (vii) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (viii) subject to provisions substantially similar to those contained in this Section 16.5, to any actual or proposed participant or assignee, and (ix) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications (such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications). Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to use the name, logos and other insignia of such Borrower and the amount of the Credit Facility provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing materials of Agent.

(b) The obligations of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank under this Section 16.5 shall supersede and replace the obligations of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank under any confidentiality letter signed prior to the Closing Date or any other arrangements concerning the confidentiality of information provided by any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender.

16.6 Successors. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other document referred to herein or therein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Agent, Lenders, Issuing Bank, Loan Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign its rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other document referred to herein or therein without the prior written consent of Agent and Lenders. Any such purported assignment without such express prior written consent shall be void. No Lender may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and the Company, except as provided in Section 16.7 below. The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of Loan Parties, Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and there shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

16.7 Assignments; Participations.

(a) Each Lender may assign all or, if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender, of such rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Transferees (but not including for this purpose any assignments in the form of a participation), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Acceptance; provided that:

(i) the consent of the Administrative Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for any assignment unless (A) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) the assignment is to a Lender or an Approved Fund;

162

(ii) the consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

(iii) the consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lenders shall be required for any assignment (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);

(iv) such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by Agent on the Register; and

(v) Agent shall have received for its sole account payment of a processing fee from the assigning Lender or the assignee in the amount of $5,000.

(b) Agent shall maintain a register of the names and addresses of Lenders, their Commitments and the principal amount of their Loans (the “Register”). Agent shall also maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall modify the Register to give effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and to the other Loan Documents and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations (including, without limitation, the obligation to participate in Letter of Credit Obligations) of a Lender hereunder and thereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

(d) By execution and delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor and assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the execution, legality, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of the Obligations; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other

163

documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender. Agent and Lenders may furnish any information concerning any Loan Party in the possession of Agent or any Lender from time to time to assignees and Participants.

(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it and its participation in the Letter of Credit Obligations, without the consent of Agent or the other Lenders); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and Loan Parties, the other Lenders and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan 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 any Loan Party hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lenders from such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Any Lender that is an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender may at any time assign all of its Commitments pursuant to this Section 16.7. If such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender ceases to be Lender, it may, at its option, resign as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender and such Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s obligations to issue Letters of Credit or make Swingline Loans shall terminate but it shall retain all of the rights and obligations of Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation and all Letter of Credit Obligations or Swingline Loans with respect thereto (including the right to require Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations or Swingline Loans), shall continue.

164

16.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any supplements hereto or thereto, and any instruments or documents delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith represents the entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof between the parties hereto, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any schedule or exhibit hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

16.9 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or corporation who opens an account and/or enters into a business relationship with it, which information includes the name and address of Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such person in accordance with the Patriot Act and any other applicable law. Loan Parties are hereby advised that any Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder are subject to satisfactory results of such verification.

16.10 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender in such currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

16.11 Counterparts, Etc. This Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of such other Loan Documents. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of any such agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of such agreement.

165

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Agent, Lenders, Loan Parties have caused these presents to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT

This ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT (this “Assignment and Acceptance”) dated as of [_______] is made between [_______] (the “Assignor”) and [_______] (the “Assignee”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) acting for and on behalf of the financial institutions which are parties thereto as lenders (in such capacity, “Agent”), and the financial institutions which are parties to the Loan Agreement as lenders (individually, each a “Lender” and collectively, “Lenders”) have entered into financing arrangements pursuant to which Agent and Lenders have agreed to make loans and advances and provide other financial accommodations to Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, and together with any of its Subsidiaries that are or may become parties thereto as U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrowers, each individually a “Borrower” and collectively, “Borrowers”), on the terms and conditions as set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2009, by and among Borrowers, certain of their Subsidiaries designated as guarantors thereto (each individually a “Guarantor” and collectively, “Guarantors”), Agent and Lenders (as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, the “Loan Agreement”), and the other agreements, documents and instruments referred to therein or at any time executed and/or delivered in connection therewith or related thereto (all of the foregoing, together with the Loan Agreement, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, being collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”);

WHEREAS, as provided under the Loan Agreement, Assignor committed to making Loans (the “Committed Loans”) to Borrowers in an aggregate amount not to exceed $[_______] (the “Commitment”);

WHEREAS, Assignor wishes to assign to Assignee [part of the][all] rights and obligations of Assignor under the Loan Agreement in respect of its Commitment in an amount equal to $[_______] (the “Assigned Commitment Amount”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and Assignee wishes to accept assignment of such rights and to assume such obligations from Assignor on such terms and subject to such conditions;

A-1

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows (capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement):

1. Assignment and Acceptance.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Assignment and Acceptance, Assignor hereby sells, transfers and assigns to Assignee, and Assignee hereby purchases, assumes and undertakes from Assignor, without recourse and without representation or warranty (except as provided in this Assignment and Acceptance), an interest in (i) the Commitment and each of the Committed Loans of Assignor and (ii) all related rights, benefits, obligations, liabilities and indemnities of the Assignor under and in connection with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, so that after giving effect thereto, the Commitment of Assignee shall be as set forth below and the Pro Rata Share of Assignee shall be [_______] ([__]%) percent.

Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Commitment of Assignor shall, as of the Effective Date, be reduced by an amount equal to the Assigned Commitment Amount and Assignor shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by Assignee; provided, that, Assignor shall not relinquish its rights under Sections 2.2, 6.7, 6.11, 12.5 and 16.5 of the Loan Agreement to the extent such rights relate to the time prior to the Effective Date.

(c) After giving effect to the assignment and assumption set forth herein, on the Effective Date Assignee’s Commitment will be $[_______].

(d) After giving effect to the assignment and assumption set forth herein, on the Effective Date Assignor’s Commitment will be $[_______] (as such amount may be further reduced by any other assignments by Assignor on or after the date hereof).

2. Payments.

(a) As consideration for the sale, assignment and transfer contemplated in Section 1 hereof, Assignee shall pay to Assignor on the Effective Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to $[_______], representing Assignee’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of all Committed Loans.

(b) Assignee shall pay to Agent the processing fee in the amount specified in Section 16.7(a) of the Loan Agreement.

3. Reallocation of Payments. Any interest, fees and other payments accrued to the Effective Date with respect to the Commitment, Committed Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit shall be for the account of Assignor. Any interest, fees and other payments accrued on and after the Effective Date with respect to the Assigned Commitment Amount shall be for the account of Assignee. Each of Assignor and Assignee agrees that it will hold in trust for the other party any interest, fees and other amounts which it may receive to which the other party is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence and pay to the other party any such amounts which it may receive promptly upon receipt.

A-2

A-4
