Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this SECTION 2.02, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use their best efforts to attempt to minimize the costs of the type referred to in SECTION 2.16(b) which the Borrowers would otherwise incur in connection with the implementation of an increase in the Domestic Commitments or the Canadian Commitments.

(e) Reinstatement of Tranche A-1 Commitments. At any time, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom, subject to the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, if the then outstanding Total Commitments are less than $3,000,000,000, without duplication of the provisions of SECTION 2.02(a), the Lead Borrower shall have the right on a one-time basis to request an increase of the then outstanding Domestic Commitments by an aggregate amount not to exceed $150,000,000280,000,000 (the “Tranche A-1 Commitment Increase”); provided, however, that after giving effect to the Tranche A-1 Commitment Increase and any other

- 77-

Commitment Increases pursuant to this SECTION 2.02, the sum of the Total Commitments plus the outstanding Tranche A-1 Loans shall not exceed $3,000,000,000 at any time. The Tranche A-1 Commitment Increase shall be structured on substantially the same terms as apply to the Tranche A-1 Commitments under, and as defined in, the Original Credit Agreement (i.e. as a first-in, last out facility); provided that the Tranche A-1 Commitment Increase shall be subject to such pricing, fees and other terms as the Lead Borrower, MLPFS and the Persons participating in the Tranche A-1 Commitment Increase shall agree; provided further that (i) no Domestic Lender shall be obligated to increase its Domestic Commitment as a result of any such request by the Lead Borrower and (ii) any Person participating in the Tranche A-1 Commitment Increase which is not then an existing Domestic Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lead Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). The parties acknowledge that the Tranche A-1 Commitments (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) have been reinstated as of the First Amendment Effective Date and that the amount of the Tranche A-1 Loans may not be increased pursuant to SECTION 2.02(a) or otherwise.

SECTION 2.03 Reserves; Changes to Reserves.

(a) The Inventory Reserves and Availability Reserves as of the First Amendment Effective Date are those set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent on the First Amendment Effective Date.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall establish an Availability Reserve applicable to the Tranche A Borrowing Base in the amount of the Tranche A-1 Push-Down Reserve at any time that outstanding Domestic Tranche A-1 Loans exceeds Domestic Incremental Availability. The Administrative Agent shall establish an Availability Reserve applicable to the Canadian Borrowing Base in the amount of the Tranche A-1 Push-Down Reserve at any time that outstanding Canadian Tranche A-1 Loans exceeds Canadian Incremental Availability.

(bc) Any Co-Collateral Agent (after consultation with the other Co-Collateral Agent) may hereafter establish additional Reserves or change any of the Reserves in effect on the Effective Date, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment acting in accordance with industry standards for asset based lending in the retail industry; provided that such Reserves shall not be established or changed except upon not less than five (5) Business Days notice to the Borrowers (during which period the Co-Collateral Agents shall be available to discuss any such proposed Reserve with the Borrowers); provided further that no such prior notice shall be required for (1) changes to any Reserves resulting solely by virtue of mathematical calculations of the amount of the Reserve in accordance with the methodology of calculation previously utilized (such as, but not limited to, Customer Credit Liabilities), or (2) changes to Reserves or the establishment of additional Reserves if a Material Adverse Effect under clause (b) of the definition thereof has occurred or it would be reasonably likely that a Material Adverse Effect under clause (b) of the definition thereof would occur were such Reserves not changed or established prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, or (3) the establishment of the Tranche A-1 Push-Down Reserve.

SECTION 2.04 Making of Loans.

(a) Except as set forth in SECTION 2.09, SECTION 2.10 and SECTION 2.11, Revolving Credit Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be either Prime Rate Loans, LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans as the Lead Borrower, on behalf of the Domestic Borrowers, or the Canadian

- 78-

Borrower, may request (which request shall, in the case of the Domestic Borrowers, be made in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 and, in the case of the Canadian Borrower, be made in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, and in the case of Loans to the Canadian Borrower, indicate whether CD$ or $ advances are requested) subject to and in accordance with this SECTION 2.04. All Swingline Loans shall be only Prime Rate Loans. All Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type. Each Lender may fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan by causing any lending office of such Lender to make such Revolving Credit Loan; provided, however, that any such use of a lending office shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Revolving Credit Note. Each Lender shall, subject to its overall policy considerations, use reasonable efforts to select a lending office which will not result in the payment of increased costs by the Borrowers. Subject to the other provisions of this SECTION 2.04 and the provisions of SECTION 2.11, Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time, but in any event no more than fifteen (15) Borrowings of LIBO Loans may be outstanding at any time and no more than eight (8) Borrowings of BA Equivalent Loans may be outstanding at any time.

(b) The Lead Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (i) two (2) Business Days’ prior telephonic notice (thereafter confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of LIBO Loans, and (ii) notice of each Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans by the Domestic Borrowers on the proposed day of each Borrowing. The Canadian Borrower shall give the Canadian Agent (i) two (2) Business Days’ prior telephonic notice (thereafter confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of BA Equivalent Loans or LIBO Loans and (ii) one (1) Business Day’s prior telephonic notice (thereafter confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans by the Canadian Borrower. Any such notice, to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, (i) not later than 11:00 a.m. on the second Business Day, in the case of LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans, and on the first Business Day, in the case of Prime Rate Loans to the Canadian Borrower, prior to the date on which such Borrowing is to be made and, and (ii) no later than 12:00 noon on the same Business Day in the case of Prime Rate Loans to the Domestic Borrowers on which such Borrowing is to be made. Such notice shall be irrevocable, shall contain disbursement instructions and shall specify: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans (and, in the case of the Canadian Borrower, whether the Borrowing is in CD$ or $), BA Equivalent Loans, or LIBO Loans and, if BA Equivalent Loans or LIBO Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto; (ii) the amount of the proposed Borrowing (which shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000, but not less than $5,000,000, in the case of LIBO Loans, and be in an integral multiple of CD$1,000,000, but not less than CD$1,000,000, in the case of BA Equivalent Loans); and (iii) the date of the proposed Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). If no election of Interest Period is specified in any such notice for a Borrowing of LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans, such notice shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no election is made as to the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, such notice shall be deemed a request for Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each Lender of its proportionate share of such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing, the Type of Borrowing being requested and the Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto, as appropriate. On the borrowing date specified in such notice, each Domestic Lender shall make its share of the Borrowing available at the office of the Administrative Agent at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and each Canadian Lender shall make its share of the Borrowing available at the office of the Canadian Agent at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇

- 79-

M5J 2V8, in each case no later than 3:00 p.m., in immediately available funds. Unless the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this SECTION 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In the event a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, at (i) in the case of a Domestic Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (ii) in the case of a Canadian Lender, the greater of the Bank of Canada Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Canadian Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (iii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Prime Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in such Borrowing. Upon receipt of the funds made available by the Lenders to fund any borrowing hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall disburse such funds in the manner specified in the notice of borrowing delivered by the Lead Borrower or Canadian Borrower and shall use reasonable efforts to make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrowers no later than 5:00 p.m.

(c) To the extent not paid by the Borrowers when due (after taking into consideration any applicable grace period), the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent, as applicable, without the request of the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, may advance any interest, fee payable pursuant to SECTION 2.19 or other payment to which any Credit Party is entitled from the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document and may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that a Domestic Overadvance or Canadian Overadvance, as applicable, may result thereby; provided that no such Overadvance may be made if after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Domestic Commitments or the aggregate Canadian Commitments would be exceeded. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall advise the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof. Such action on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or the Canadian Agent’s rights and the Borrowers’ obligations under SECTION 2.17(a) and SECTION 2.17(b). Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this SECTION 2.04(c) shall bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter applicable to Prime Rate Loans.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, with respect to the Canadian Borrower, (i) all references to “the Lead Borrower” and “the Administrative Agent” in SECTIONS 2.04(b), 2.04(c), 2.17, and 2.18 shall mean and refer to the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Agent (except to the extent such provisions already make reference to the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Agent), respectively, (ii) the address of the Canadian Agent to which each Lender must make its share of Borrowings to the Canadian Borrower available is 181 Bay

- ▇▇-

▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, and (iii) the Canadian Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of each Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower, the date of such Borrowing, the Type of Borrowing being requested and the Interest Period or Periods applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.05 Overadvances.

(a) The Agents, the Canadian Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Revolving Credit Loan (including, without limitation, any Swingline Loan) or to provide any Letter of Credit if a Domestic Overadvance or Canadian Overadvance would result.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, at the direction of any Co-Collateral Agent, make Permitted Domestic Overadvances to the Domestic Borrowers without the consent of the Lenders and each Lender shall be bound thereby. The Canadian Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, at the direction of any Co-Collateral Agent, make Permitted Canadian Overadvances to the Canadian Borrower without the consent of the Lenders and each Lender shall be bound thereby. Any Permitted Domestic Overadvances or Permitted Canadian Overadvances may constitute Swingline Loans. The making of a Permitted Domestic Overadvance is for the benefit of the Domestic Borrowers and shall constitute a Revolving Credit Loan and an Obligation. The making of a Permitted Canadian Overadvance is for the benefit of the Canadian Borrower and shall constitute a Revolving Credit Loan and an Obligation. The making of any such Permitted Domestic Overadvance or Permitted Canadian Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, or any Lender to make or permit any Permitted Domestic Overadvance or Permitted Canadian Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted Domestic Overadvances or Permitted Canadian Overadvances to remain outstanding.

(c) The making by the Administrative Agent of a Permitted Domestic Overadvance or by the Canadian Agent of a Permitted Canadian Overadvance shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of SECTION 2.13(g) regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Letter of Credit Disbursements.

SECTION 2.06 Swingline Loans

(a) Each Swingline Lender is authorized by the Domestic Lenders and the Canadian Lenders, as applicable, to, and shall, make Swingline Loans at any time (subject to SECTION 2.06(b)) (i) to the Domestic Borrowers up to the amount of the sum of the Domestic Swingline Loan Ceiling, plus any Permitted Domestic Overadvances, and (ii) to the Canadian Borrower up to the amount of the sum of the Canadian Swingline Loan Ceiling, plus any Permitted Canadian Overadvances, in each case upon a notice of Borrowing from Lead Borrower received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and the applicable Swingline Lender (which notice, at the Swingline Lender’s discretion, may be submitted prior to 3:00 p.m. for the Domestic Borrowers and 12:00 noon for the Canadian Borrower, on the Business Day on which such Swingline Loan is requested); provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loan in its reasonable discretion if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by the making of such Swingline Loan may have, Fronting Exposure. Swingline Loans shall be Prime Rate Loans and shall be subject to periodic settlement with the Domestic Lenders and Canadian Lenders, as applicable, (other than Tranche A-1 Lenders) under SECTION 2.22 below. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline

- 81-

Loan, each Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, (other than Tranche A-1 Lenders) shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, times the amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agents in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Swingline Lender in connection with Swingline Loans made by it or proposed to be made by it as if the term “Agents” as used in Article VIII included each Swingline Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to each Swingline Lender.

(b) The Lead Borrower’s request for a Swingline Loan shall be deemed a representation that the applicable conditions for borrowing under SECTION 4.02 are satisfied. If the conditions for borrowing under SECTION 4.02 cannot in fact be fulfilled, (i) the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall give immediate notice (a “Noncompliance Notice”) thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, and the applicable Swingline Lender, and the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall promptly provide each Lender with a copy of the Noncompliance Notice, and (ii) the Required Lenders may direct the applicable Swingline Lender to, and such Swingline Lender thereupon shall, cease making Swingline Loans (other than Permitted Domestic Overadvances and Permitted Canadian Overadvances) until such conditions can be satisfied or are waived in accordance with SECTION 9.02. Unless the Required Lenders so direct the applicable Swingline Lender, such Swingline Lender may, but is not obligated to, continue to make Swingline Loans commencing one (1) Business Day after the Non-Compliance Notice is furnished to the Domestic Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Swingline Loans (other than Permitted Domestic Overadvances and Permitted Canadian Overadvances) shall be made pursuant to this SECTION 2.06(b) if the Total Domestic Revolver Outstandings or the Total Canadian Revolver Outstandings, as applicable, would exceed the limitations set forth in SECTION 2.01.

SECTION 2.07 Notes.

(a) Upon the request of any Domestic Lender, the Revolving Credit Loans made by such Domestic Lender shall be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note or Tranche A-1 Note, as applicable, duly executed on behalf of the Domestic Borrowers, dated the Effective Date or the First Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, payable to the order of such Domestic Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Domestic Lender’s Commitment.

(b) Upon the request of any Swingline Lender, the Revolving Credit Loans made by such Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a Swingline Note, duly executed on behalf of the Borrowers, dated the Effective Date, payable to the order of such Swingline Lender, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Domestic Swingline Loan Ceiling or Canadian Swingline Loan Ceiling, as applicable.

- 82-

(d) Each Lender is hereby authorized by the applicable Borrowers to endorse on a schedule attached to each Note delivered to such Lender (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to such Note and made a part thereof), or otherwise to record in such Lender’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal of any such Loan, each payment of interest on any such Loan and the other information provided for on such schedule; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make such a notation or any error therein shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans made by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Notes.

(e) Upon receipt of an affidavit and indemnity of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s Note and upon cancellation of such Note, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor at such Lender’s expense.

SECTION 2.08 Interest on Revolving Credit Loans.

(a) Interest on Revolving Credit Loans.

(i) Subject to SECTION 2.12, each Prime Rate Loan made by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the then Prime Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, as applicable, plus the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Loans.

Calculations of interest shall be made using the nominal rate method of calculation, and will not be calculated using the effective rate method of calculation or any other basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest.

SECTION 2.09 Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Credit Loans.

(a) The Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall have the right at any time, on two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable (which notice, to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the second Business Day preceding the date of any conversion), (i) to convert any outstanding Borrowings of Prime Rate Loans to Borrowings of LIBO Loans, in the case of the Domestic Borrowers, Dollar denominated Prime Rate Loans to Borrowings of LIBO Loans or CD$ denominated Prime Rate Loans to Borrowings (other than Canadian Tranche A-1 Loans) of BA Equivalent Loans, in the case of the Canadian Borrower, or (ii) to continue an outstanding Borrowing of LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans for an additional Interest Period, or (iii) to convert any outstanding Borrowings of LIBO Loans to a Borrowing of dollar denominated Prime Rate Loans, and to convert any outstanding Borrowings of BA Equivalent Loans to a Borrowing of CD$ denominated Prime Rate Loans subject in each case to the following:

(i) No Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans may be converted into, or continued as, LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans at any time when any Specified Default has occurred and is continuing (nothing contained herein being deemed to obligate the Borrowers to incur Breakage Costs upon the occurrence of an Event of Default unless the Obligations are accelerated);

(ii) If less than a full Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans is converted, such conversion shall be made pro rata among the Domestic Lenders or Canadian Lenders, as applicable, based upon their Domestic Commitment Percentages or, Canadian Commitment Percentages, or Tranche A-1 Percentages, as applicable, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Borrowing held by such Lenders immediately prior to such conversion;

(iii) The aggregate principal amount of Prime Rate Loans being converted into, or continued as, LIBO Loans shall be in an integral of $1,000,000 and at least $5,000,000, and the aggregate principal amount of Prime Rate Loans being converted into, or continued as, BA Equivalent Loans shall be in an integral of CD$1,000,000 and at least CD$1,000,000;

(v) The Interest Period with respect to a Borrowing of LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans effected by a conversion or in respect to the Borrowing of LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans being continued as LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans, respectively, shall commence on the date of conversion or the expiration of the current Interest Period applicable to such continuing Borrowing, as the case may be;

(vi) A Borrowing of LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the applicable Borrower pays all Breakage Costs incurred in connection with such conversion;

(vii) In no event shall more than fifteen (15) Borrowings of LIBO Loans be outstanding at any time or more than eight (8) Borrowings of BA Equivalent Loans be outstanding at any time and

(viii) Each request for a conversion or continuation of a Borrowing of LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans which fails to state an applicable Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) If the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, does not give notice to convert any Borrowing of LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans, or does not give notice to continue, or does not have the right to continue, any Borrowing as LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans, in each case as provided in SECTION 2.09(a) above, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted to, or continued as, as applicable, a Borrowing of dollar denominated Prime Rate Loans or a Borrowing of CD$ denominated Prime Rate Loans, at the expiration of the then-current Interest Period. The Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall, after it receives notice from the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, promptly give each Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, notice of any conversion, in whole or part, of any Revolving Credit Loan made by such Lender.

SECTION 2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest for Revolving Credit Loans.

If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Borrowing or BA Equivalent Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable:

(a) Reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the BA Rate (in accordance with the terms of the definitions thereof) for such Interest Period; or

(b) Is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or BA Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making or maintaining their Revolving Credit Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall give notice thereof to the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and the Lenders, in the case of a requested LIBO

- 85-

Borrowing, and the Canadian Lenders, in the case of a requested BA Equivalent Loan Borrowing, by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent notifies the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall deliver promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the same), (i) any Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBO Borrowing or a BA Equivalent Loan Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO Borrowing or a BA Equivalent Loan Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans unless withdrawn by the Lead Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.11 Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Change in Law occurring after the Effective Date shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBO Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBO Loan, then, by written notice to the Lead Borrower or to the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, such Lender may (i) declare that LIBO Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, for a LIBO Borrowing shall, unless withdrawn, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Dollar denominated Prime Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) require that all outstanding LIBO Loans made by such Lender be converted to Dollar denominated Prime Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBO Loans shall be automatically converted to Dollar denominated Prime Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in SECTION 2.09(b). In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights hereunder, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBO Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBO Loans of such Lender, shall instead be applied to repay the Prime Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBO Loans.

(b) For purposes of this SECTION 2.11, a notice to the Lead Borrower or to the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, pursuant to SECTION 2.11(a) above shall be effective, if lawful, and if any LIBO Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period; and, otherwise, such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable.

SECTION 2.12 Default Interest.

Effective upon written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, after the occurrence of any Specified Default and at all times thereafter while such Specified Default is continuing, interest shall accrue on all overdue amounts owing by the Borrowers (after as well as before judgment, as and to the extent permitted by law) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days as applicable) (the “Default Rate”) equal to the rate (including the Applicable Margin) in effect from time to time plus two percent (2.00%) per annum and such interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (or any earlier maturity of the Loans).

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date and prior to the Termination Date, the Lead Borrower on behalf of the Domestic Borrowers, and the Canadian Borrower for itself and its Subsidiaries, may request an Issuing Bank (which in the case of the Canadian Borrower shall be the Canadian Agent or a Canadian Lender) to issue, and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, such Issuing Bank shall issue, for the account of the relevant Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the aggregate Domestic Letter of Credit Outstandings shall exceed the Domestic Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) the aggregate Canadian Letter of Credit Outstandings shall exceed the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (iii) the Total Domestic Revolver Outstandings or the Total Canadian Revolver Outstandings, as applicable, would exceed the limitations set forth in SECTION 2.01(a); provided further that no Letter of Credit shall be issued unless an Issuing Bank shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent that the conditions to such issuance have been met (such notice shall be deemed given (x) if the Issuing Bank has not received notice that the conditions have not been met, within two (2) Business Days of the initial request to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, pursuant to SECTION 2.13(h), or (y) if the aggregate undrawn amount under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank then outstanding does not exceed the amount theretofore agreed to by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, on the same Business Day as the receipt by the Issuing Bank of the request for issuance of a Letter of Credit if the request is received prior to 12:00 noon or on the next Business Day if the request is received after 12:00 noon); and provided further that an Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any such Letter of Credit in its reasonable discretion if: (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law relating to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it, (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, (C) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to SECTION 2.27(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either (x) the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or (y) that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Outstandings as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion, (D) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder, or (E) such Letter of Credit is not in compliance with SECTIONS 2.13(b) or 2.13(c), as applicable. A permanent reduction of the Domestic Commitments or Canadian Commitments shall not require a corresponding pro rata reduction in the Domestic Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit, as applicable; provided, however, that if the Domestic Total Commitments or Canadian Total Commitments are reduced to an amount less than the Domestic Letter of Credit

- 87-

Sublimit or the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit, as applicable, then the Domestic Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit, as applicable shall be reduced to an amount equal to (or, at Lead Borrower’s or the Canadian Borrower’s option, less than) the Domestic Total Commitments or Canadian Total Commitments. Any Issuing Bank (other than Bank of America or any of its Affiliates) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing on each Business Day of all Letters of Credit issued on the prior Business Day by such Issuing Bank; provided that (A) until the Administrative Agent advises any such Issuing Bank that Excess Availability is less than $250,000,000, or (B) the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit issued in any such week exceeds such amount as shall be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be required to so notify the Administrative Agent in writing only once each week of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the immediately preceding week as well as the daily amounts outstanding for the prior week, such notice to be furnished on such day of the week as the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank may agree. No Issuing Bank shall amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Standby Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the date which is (i) one (1) year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such other longer period of time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree) (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one (1) year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) unless Cash Collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided, however, that each Standby Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of twelve (12) months or less (but not beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date unless Cash Collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(c) Each Commercial Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the date which is (i) one year after the date of the issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit (or such other period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank) and (ii) unless Cash Collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Drafts drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Domestic Borrowers, in the case of any Letter of Credit issued for them, and by the Canadian Borrower, in the case of a Canadian Letter of Credit, in the currency in which the Letter of Credit is issued by paying to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, an amount equal to such drawing not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower receives notice of such drawing and demand for payment by the applicable Issuing Bank, provided that (i) in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, such payments shall be financed when due with a Prime Rate Loan or Swingline

- 88-

Loan to the applicable Borrower in an eEquivalent aAmount and the same currency and, to the extent so financed, the respective Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Prime Rate Loan or Swingline Loan, and (ii) in the event that the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, that it will not so finance any such payments, the applicable Borrowers will make payment directly to the applicable Issuing Bank when due. Such payments shall be due on the date specified in the demand for payment by the Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall promptly remit the payments received by it from any Borrower in reimbursement of a draw under a Letter of Credit to the applicable Issuing Bank or the proceeds of a Prime Rate Loan or Swingline Loan, as the case may be, used to finance such payment. The Issuing Banks shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Banks shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the applicable Issuing Bank has made or will make payment thereunder; provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such payment.

(e) If an Issuing Bank shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in full on the date provided in SECTION 2.13(d), above, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to Prime Rate Loans for Domestic Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, for each day from and including the date such payment is made to, but excluding, the date that such Borrowers reimburse such Issuing Bank therefor; provided, however, that, if such Borrowers fail to reimburse such Issuing Bank when due pursuant to this SECTION 2.13(e), then interest shall accrue at the rate set forth in SECTION 2.12. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of, and promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, upon receipt to, the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.13(g) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(f) Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank (or the amendment of a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, (other than a Tranche A-1 Lender) and each such Lender shall be deemed unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect thereto. Upon any change in the Domestic Commitments or Canadian Commitments pursuant to SECTION 2.02 (other than pursuant to SECTION 2.02(e)), SECTION 2.15, SECTION 2.17 or SECTION 9.04 of this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that with respect to all Letter of Credit Outstandings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to reflect the new Domestic Commitment Percentages or new Canadian Commitment Percentages, as applicable, of the assigning and assignee Lenders and the Additional Commitment Lenders, if applicable. Any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Bank under or in

- 89-

connection with a Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability to any Lender.

(g) In the event that an Issuing Bank makes any Letter of Credit Disbursement and the Borrowers shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Bank pursuant to this SECTION 2.13, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, which shall promptly notify each Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, of such failure, and each Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, (other than a Tranche A-1 Lender) shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender’s Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of such unreimbursed payment in dollars and in same day funds. If an Issuing Bank so notifies the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent so notifies the applicable Lenders prior to 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day, each such Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, shall make available to such Issuing Bank such Lender’s Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds (or if such notice is received by the Domestic Lenders or Canadian Lenders, as applicable, after 11:00 a.m. on the day of receipt, payment shall be made on the immediately following Business Day in same day funds). If and to the extent such Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, shall not have so made its Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of the amount of such payment available to the applicable Issuing Bank, such Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of such Issuing Bank at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, in the case of payments by a Domestic Lender, and the Bank of Canada Overnight Rate, in the case of payments by a Canadian Lender. Each Lender agrees to fund its Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of such unreimbursed payment notwithstanding a failure to satisfy any applicable lending conditions or the provisions of SECTION 2.01 or SECTION 2.06, or the occurrence of the Termination Date. The failure of any Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender to make available to the applicable Issuing Bank its Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall neither relieve any Domestic Lender or any Canadian Lender, as applicable, of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Bank its Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, nor increase the obligation of such other Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender. Whenever any Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, has made payments to an Issuing Bank in respect of any reimbursement obligation for any Letter of Credit, such Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender shall be entitled to share ratably, based on its Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, in all payments and collections thereafter received on account of such reimbursement obligation. All participations in Letters of Credit by the Lenders shall be made in such currency as the Letter of Credit is denominated or in the dollar equivalent thereof.

(h) Whenever the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, desires that an Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension (other than

- 90-

automatic renewal or extensions) of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall give to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written (including, without limitation, by telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable communication) notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed upon in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower) specifying the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, amended, renewed or extended (which shall be a Business Day), the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit so requested (and, if for the Canadian Borrower, whether such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in dollars or CD$), the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and the provisions thereof. If requested by an Issuing Bank, the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall also submit documentation on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit; provided that, in the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of such documentation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall supersede any inconsistent or contrary terms in such documentation and this Agreement shall control.

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Banks for any Letter of Credit Disbursement shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation (it being understood that any such payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to, and shall not constitute a waiver of, any rights the Borrowers might have or might acquire as a result of the payment by an Issuing Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by the Borrowers thereof): (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of a Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which a Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or against any Issuing Bank or any of the Credit Parties, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged or fraudulent in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (iv) payment by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) waiver by an Issuing Bank of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Bank’s protection and not the protection of any Borrower or any waiver by an Issuing Bank which does not in fact materially prejudice any Borrower; (vi) any honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if a Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; (vii) any payment made by any Issuing Bank in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, a Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance), or the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance), as applicable; (viii) any payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver, interim receiver, monitor or other representative of or successor to any

- 91-

beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law; (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this SECTION 2.13, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Loan Party’s obligations hereunder; or (x) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided that the Borrowers shall have no obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank to the extent that such payment was made in error due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction). No Credit Party shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Banks from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the applicable Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(j) If any Enumerated Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the applicable Loan Parties shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Outstandings owing by such Loan Parties as of such date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cash Collateralize” means to deposit in the applicable Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Letter of Credit Outstandings owing by such Loan Parties as of such date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent for the payment and performance of the Obligations and the Other Liabilities. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such Cash Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable (at the request of the Lead Borrower and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense), such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for payments on account of drawings under Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans

- 92-

has been accelerated, shall be applied to satisfy the other respective Obligations and the Other Liabilities of the applicable Borrower. If at any time the total amount of funds held as cash collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than 103% of the Letter of Credit Outstandings owing by the Loan Parties as of such date, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as cash collateral, an amount equal to such deficiency. If the applicable Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Enumerated Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned promptly to the respective Borrower but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after all Enumerated Defaults have been cured or waived.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to the Canadian Borrower only, if an Issuing Bank for any Canadian Letter of Credit is not the Canadian Agent or a Canadian Lender: (i) the Canadian Borrower authorizes the Canadian Agent to arrange for the issuance of Canadian Letters of Credit from such Issuing Bank and to pay and indemnify (the “L/C Credit Support”) such Issuing Bank from and against all reasonable charges in connection with the issuance, negotiation, settlement, amendment and processing of each such Canadian Letter of Credit, and the Canadian Borrower agrees to pay and indemnify the Canadian Agent for and in respect of the L/C Credit Support and agrees that such obligation to pay and indemnify shall be deemed Canadian Liabilities; (ii) any notices, requests or applications under this SECTION 2.13 shall contemporaneously be delivered to both such Issuing Bank and the Canadian Agent; (iii) drafts drawn under any Letters of Credit as provided in and L/C Disbursements as provided in SECTION 2.13(d) shall immediately and on the same Business Day be reimbursed by the Canadian Agent, and all interest accruing or payable pursuant to SECTION 2.13(d) or SECTION 2.13(f) shall be for the account of the Canadian Agent and not the Issuing Banks; and (iv) the Canadian Borrower’s reimbursement obligation under SECTION 2.13(d) and/or SECTION 2.13(g) shall be due to the Canadian Agent and the Lenders shall make available to the Canadian Agent (for its own account) the amount of its payment provided for in SECTION 2.13(g).

(l) Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agents in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and letter of credit applications and other documents, instruments or agreements relating to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agents” as used in Article VIII included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Bank.

(m) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Banks shall not be responsible to the Borrowers for, and the Issuing Banks’ rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the Issuing Banks required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC

- 93-

Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs.

(a) 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 or any holding company of any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Banks; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBO 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 LIBO Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Credit Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such 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 receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon the request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Domestic Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or liquidity or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this SECTION 2.14 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Domestic Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall pay such Lender or such

- 94-

Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this SECTION 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this SECTION 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Borrower may, at any time, in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Domestic Commitments. Each such reduction shall be in the principal amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Each such reduction or termination shall (i) be applied ratably to the Domestic Commitments of each Lender and (ii) be irrevocable at the effective time of any such termination or reduction. The Domestic Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for application as provided in clause (i) of this SECTION 2.15(a), (A) at the effective time of any such termination (but not any partial reduction), all earned and unpaid Unused Fees accrued on the Domestic Commitments so terminated and (B) at the effective time of any such reduction or termination, any amount by which the Total Domestic Revolver Outstandings on such date exceed the amount to which the Domestic Commitments are to be reduced effective on such date.

(b) Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Canadian Agent, the Canadian Borrower may, at any time, in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Canadian Commitments. Each such reduction shall be in the principal amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Each such reduction or termination shall (i) be applied ratably to the Canadian Commitments of each Canadian Lender and (ii) be irrevocable at the effective time of any such termination or reduction. The Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Agent, for application as provided in clause (i) of this SECTION 2.15(b), (A) at the effective time of each such termination (but not any partial reduction), all earned and unpaid Canadian Unused Fees accrued on the Canadian Commitments so terminated and (B) at the effective time of each such reduction or termination, any amount by which the Total Canadian Revolver Outstandings on such date exceed the amount to which the Canadian Commitments are to be reduced effective on such date.

(c) In the event that the Lead Borrower terminates the Domestic Commitments, the Canadian Commitments shall be deemed to have also been terminated, without any further action by the Lead Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any Credit Party.

SECTION 2.16 Optional Prepayment of Loans; Reimbursement of Lenders.

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to prepay (without a commitment reduction) outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Tranche A-1 Loans, in

(b) If, at any time, the Total Canadian Revolver Outstandings exceeds Canadian Availability, in each case calculated in dollars at the Equivalent Amount, including, without limitation, as a result of one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the CD$ against the dollar, the Canadian Borrowers will immediately upon notice from the Canadian Agent (or within five (5) Business Days after notice from the Canadian Agent if such excess is solely the result of one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the CD$ against the dollar and the Canadian Loan Ceiling has not been exceeded) (i) prepay the Revolving Credit Loans to the Canadian Borrower in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess, and (ii) if, after giving effect to the prepayment in full of all such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans such excess has not been eliminated, Cash Collateralize the Canadian Letters of Credit Outstanding.

(c) If at any time, the calculation of Canadian Loan to Value is less than zero (0), the Canadian Borrower will, upon notice from the Canadian Agent, promptly prepay the Revolving Credit Loans that were made to the Canadian Borrower in such amount as may be necessary so that, after giving effect to such prepayment, the Canadian Loan to Value is not less than zero.

(cd) The Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid daily in accordance with (and to the extent required under) the provisions of SECTION 2.18, to the extent then applicable.

- 98-

(de) Any Net Proceeds received from a Prepayment Event arising from Collateral included in the Tranche A Borrowing Base or the Canadian Borrowing Base (other than from sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business), whether or not a Cash Dominion Event then exists, shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on receipt by the Loan Parties and shall be utilized to prepay the Loans in the order of priority set forth in SECTION 7.03; provided that the provisions of this clause (d) shall not apply if a Cash Dominion Event does not exist or arise from such prepayment Event and the Net Proceeds from such Prepayment Event are not in excess of $50,000,000. The Agents shall not be obligated to release their Liens on any Collateral included in such Prepayment Event until such Net Proceeds have been so received (to the extent required in this clause (d)). The application of such Net Proceeds to the Loans shall not reduce the Commitments. If all Obligations or Canadian Liabilities, as applicable, and Other Liabilities then due, are paid, any excess Net Proceeds shall be remitted to the operating account of the Domestic Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, respectively.

(fg) Subject to the foregoing, outstanding Prime Rate Loans of the Domestic Borrowers shall be prepaid before outstanding LIBO Loans of the Domestic Borrowers are prepaid and outstanding Prime Rate Loans of the Canadian Borrower shall be prepaid before outstanding BA Equivalent Loans or LIBO Loans of the Canadian Borrower are prepaid. No prepayment of LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans shall be permitted pursuant to this SECTION 2.17 other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the applicable Borrowers reimburse the Domestic Lenders or Canadian Lenders, as applicable, for all Breakage Costs associated therewith within five (5) Business Days of receiving a written demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of such Breakage Costs in reasonable detail. In order to avoid such Breakage Costs, as long as no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall hold all amounts required to be applied to LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans in the Cash Collateral Account and will apply such funds to the applicable LIBO Loans and BA Equivalent Loans at the end of the then pending Interest Period therefor (provided that the foregoing shall in no way limit or restrict the Agents’ or the Canadian Agent’s rights upon the subsequent occurrence of an Event of Default). No partial prepayment of a Borrowing of LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the LIBO Loans or BA Equivalent Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $10,000,000 or CD$5,000,000, as applicable. A prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to SECTION 2.16 or this SECTION 2.17 shall not permanently reduce the Commitments. A prepayment of the Tranche A-1 Loans shall permanently reduce the Tranche A-1 Loans and may not be reborrowed.

(gh) All amounts required to be applied to all Revolving Credit Loans hereunder (other than Swingline Loans) shall be applied ratably in accordance with each Domestic Lender’s Domestic Commitment Percentage or each Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable. All credits against the Obligations or the Canadian Liabilities shall be conditioned upon final payment to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, of the items giving rise to such credits. If any item credited to the Loan Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for

- 99-

any reason, whether or not such return is rightful or timely, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall have the right to reverse such credit and charge the amount of such item to the Loan Account and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Secured Parties against all claims and losses resulting from such dishonor or return.

(hi) Without in any way limiting the provisions of SECTION 2.17(a) or SECTION 2.17(b), the Administrative Agent shall, monthly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion in the event of a material change in the foreign exchange rates), make the necessary exchange rate calculations to determine whether any such excess described in such Sections exists on such date.

(ij) Upon the Termination Date, the Commitments of the Lenders and the credit facility provided hereunder shall be terminated in full, and the Domestic Borrowers shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans and all other outstanding Obligations and Other Liabilities then owing by them to the Lenders, and the Canadian Borrower shall pay in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans to it and all other Canadian Liabilities owing by it to the Lenders.

(jk) All Obligations, Canadian Liabilities and Other Liabilities shall be payable to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, in the currency in which they are denominated.

(kl) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this SECTION 2.17 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this SECTION 2.17 shall control and govern.

(lm) If:

(i) thirty (30) days prior to the maturity date of each of the Term Loans, the Term Loans so maturing have not been refinanced, extended or otherwise replaced or repaid pursuant to transactions permitted hereunder (unless, on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the maturity of the applicable Term Loans, the Administrative Agent has received reasonably satisfactory evidence that (A) commitments in respect of such refinancing, extension or replacement in an amount sufficient to repay in full the applicable Term Loans prior to their maturity have been obtained, subject only to customary closing conditions for transactions of this type and (B) the closing of such refinancing, extension or replacement will occur at least five (5) days prior to the maturity date of each of the Term Loans), or

(ii) five (5) days prior to the maturity date of each of the Term Loans, the Term Loans so maturing have not been refinanced, extended or otherwise replaced or repaid pursuant to transactions permitted hereunder, or

(iii) thirty (30) days prior to the maturity date of the 2016 Notes, the 2016 Notes have not been refinanced, extended or otherwise replaced or repaid pursuant to transactions permitted hereunder (unless, on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the maturity of the 2016 Notes, the Administrative Agent has received reasonably satisfactory evidence that (A) commitments in respect of such refinancing, extension or replacement in an amount sufficient to

- 100-

repay in full the 2016 Notes prior to their maturity have been obtained, subject only to customary closing conditions for transactions of this type and (B) the closing of such refinancing, extension or replacement will occur at least five (5) days prior to the maturity date of the 2016 Notes), or

(iv) five (5) days prior to the maturity date of the 2016 Notes, the 2016 Notes have not been refinanced, extended or otherwise replaced or repaid pursuant to transactions permitted hereunder,

then, in any such case, the Commitments shall automatically terminate without any further action by the Agents or the Lenders, the Domestic Borrowers shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans and all other outstanding Obligations and Other Liabilities then owing by them to the Lenders, and the Canadian Borrower shall pay in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans to it and all other Canadian Liabilities owing by it to the Lenders.

(a) The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Domestic Borrowers and the Canadian Borrower (each, the “Loan Account”) which will reflect (i) all Loans and other advances made by the Lenders to such Borrowers or for such Borrowers’ account, (ii) all Letter of Credit Disbursements, fees and interest that have become payable as herein set forth, and (iii) any and all other monetary Obligations or Canadian Liabilities, as applicable, that have become payable.

(b) The Loan Account will be credited with all amounts received by the Administrative Agent or by the Canadian Agent from the applicable Borrower or from others for the Borrowers’ account, including all amounts received in the Concentration Account from the Blocked Account Banks, and the amounts so credited shall be applied as set forth in and to the extent required by SECTION 2.17(e) or SECTION 7.03, as applicable. After the end of each month, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall send to the Domestic Borrowers and the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, a statement accounting for the charges (including interest), loans, advances and other transactions occurring among and between the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, the Lenders and the applicable Borrowers during that month. The monthly statements shall, absent manifest error, shall be deemed presumptively correct.

SECTION 2.21 Payments; Sharing of Setoff.

(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of drawings under Letters of Credit, of amounts payable under SECTIONS 2.14, 2.16(b) or 2.23, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim, in the same currency in which the Credit Extension was made. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or to the Canadian Agent at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to SECTIONS 2.14, 2.16(b), 2.23 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. TheSubject to SECTION 2.22, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall distribute any such payments to the appropriate

- 106-

recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, except with respect to LIBO Borrowings or BA Equivalent Loan Borrowings, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, if any payment due with respect to LIBO Borrowings or BA Equivalent Loan Borrowings shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless that succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, in which event, the date of such payment shall be on the last Business Day of subject calendar month, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments in respect of any Loan or Letter of Credit shall be repaid in the currency in which such Loan or Letter of Credit was originally disbursed or issued.

(b) All funds received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay principal, unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit, interest and fees then due hereunder, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.17 or SECTION 7.03 ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit, interest, and fees then due to such respective parties. For purposes of calculating interest due to a Lender, that Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on the actual amount contributed by that Lender towards the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding during the applicable period covered by the interest payment made by the Borrowers. Any net principal reductions to the Revolving Credit Loans received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents during such period shall not reduce such actual amount so contributed, for purposes of calculation of interest due to that Lender, until the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, has distributed to the applicable Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of the Domestic Lenders or the Canadian Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent as applicable, may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Domestic Lenders or the Canadian Lenders, as applicable, or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of amounts to be paid by the Domestic Lenders and at the Bank of Canada Overnight Rate in the case of payments to be made by the Canadian Lenders.

SECTION 2.22 Settlement Amongst Lenders

(a) The Swingline Lender may, at any time (but, in any event shall weekly, as provided in SECTION 2.22(b)), on behalf of the Domestic Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable (which hereby authorize the Swingline Lender to act on their behalf in that regard) request the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, to cause the Domestic Lenders and the Canadian Lenders, as applicable, (other than Tranche A-1 Lenders) to make a Revolving Credit Loan (which shall be a Prime Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Domestic Commitment

- 107-

Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans made in accordance with SECTION 2.06, which request may be made regardless of whether the conditions set forth in ARTICLE IV have been satisfied. Upon such request, each Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, (other than Tranche A-1 Lenders) shall make available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan for the account of the Swingline Lender. If the Swingline Lender requires a Revolving Credit Loan to be made by the Domestic Lenders or the Canadian Lenders and the request therefor is received prior to 12:00 Noon (or 11:00 a.m. with respect to the Canadian Lenders) on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if the request therefor is received after 12:00 Noon (or 11:00 a.m. with respect to the Canadian Lenders), then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each such Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to, or warranty by, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, or the Swingline Lender. If and to the extent any Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, (other than Tranche A-1 Lenders) shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, such Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, in the case of amounts to be paid by the Domestic Lenders, and at the Bank of Canada Overnight Rate, in the case of payments to be made by the Canadian Lenders.

(b) The amount of each Lender’s Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (including outstanding Swingline Loans, except that settlements of Swingline Loans during the months of November and December of each year shall be required to be made by the Swingline Lender only with respect to those Swingline Loans in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Excess Swingline Loans”)) shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s or the Canadian Agent’s, as applicable, discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Revolving Credit Loans (including Swingline Loans, other than Excess Swingline Loans) and repayments of Revolving Credit Loans (including Swingline Loans, other than Excess Swingline Loans) received by the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, as of 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the end of the period specified by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable.

(c) The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall deliver to each of the Domestic Lenders or Canadian Lenders, as applicable, promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (including Swingline Loans, other than Excess Swingline Loans) for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, (i) the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall transfer to each Domestic Lender and Canadian Lender its applicable Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of repayments, and (ii) each Domestic Lender and Canadian Lender, as applicable, (other than Tranche A-1 Lenders) shall transfer to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable (as provided below), or the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall transfer to each Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender, as applicable, (other than Tranche A-1 Lenders) such

- 108-

amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Revolving Credit Loans made by each Domestic Lender and Canadian Lender with respect to Revolving Credit Loans to the Domestic Borrowers and the Canadian Borrowers, respectively (including Swingline Loans, other than Excess Swingline Loans), shall be equal to such Lender’s Domestic Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of Revolving Credit Loans (including Swingline Loans which are not Excess Swingline Loans) outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, by the Domestic Lenders or the Canadian Lenders and is received prior to 12:00 Noon (or 11:00 a.m. with respect to the Canadian Lenders) on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if received after 12:00 Noon (or 11:00 a.m. with respect to the Canadian Lenders), then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Domestic Lender and Canadian Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent any Domestic Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, such Domestic Lender or Canadian Lender (other than Tranche A-1 Lenders) agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, in the case of amounts to be paid by the Domestic Lenders, and at the Bank of Canada Overnight Rate, in the case of payments to be made by the Canadian Lenders.

SECTION 2.23 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that if a Loan Party or any Agent shall be required to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions or remittances for such Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.23), the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Loan Party or the Agents, as applicable, shall make such deductions and (iii) the Loan Party or the Agents, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) (i) The Domestic Borrowers shall indemnify each Credit Party, and the Canadian Borrower shall indemnify the Canadian Agent, each Canadian Lender and the Issuing Banks of any Letter of Credit on its behalf, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this SECTION 2.23) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that, if any Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, each Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate

- 109-

with such Borrower to obtain a refund of such taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of such Lender result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided further that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this SECTION 2.23 for any amounts incurred in any Fiscal Year for which such Lender is claiming compensation if such Lender does not furnish notice of such claim within six (6) months from the end of such Fiscal Year; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then the beginning of such six month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Agents against any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agents for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, as applicable, and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Agents and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of SECTION 9.04(e)(vii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Agents and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Agents or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by any Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to such Agent under this clause (ii).

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable.

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. Any Domestic Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (2) copies of a properly completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Any Foreign Lender that is a Domestic Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) copies of (i) either United States Internal Revenue

- 110-

Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying forms), or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, or, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, (A) the applicable Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto and (B) a certificate representing that such Foreign Lender (1) is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, (2) is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Loan Party (other than the Canadian Borrower and its Subsidiaries), and (3) is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Loan Parties (other than the Canadian Borrower and its Subsidiaries) (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), in all cases, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming, as applicable, complete exemption from or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption for “portfolio interest” certifying that it is not a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Foreign Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this SECTION 2.23(e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this SECTION 2.23(e) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this SECTION 2.23(e), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) The Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Foreign Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Foreign Lender in respect of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Foreign Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (e) above. Should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Loan Parties shall, at such Lender’s expense, take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) If any Loan Party shall be required pursuant to this SECTION 2.23 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Credit Party to the extent that such Credit Party becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if applicable, subsequent to the date such Person becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of any change in the circumstances of such

- 111-

Credit Party (other than a change in Applicable Law), including, without limitation, a change in the residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business of such Credit Party or a change in the branch or lending office of such Credit Party, as the case may be, such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this SECTION 2.23(g); provided, however, that such efforts shall not include the taking of any actions by such Credit Party that would result in any tax, costs or other expense to such Credit Party (other than a tax, cost or other expense for which such Credit Party shall have been reimbursed or indemnified by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) or any action which would or might in the reasonable opinion of such Credit Party have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or financial condition or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Credit Party.

(h) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in (and not complete exemption from) the applicable withholding tax, the Borrowers may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction.

(i) If any Credit Party reasonably determines that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by the Loan Parties pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under the Loan Documents, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained and that would result in the total payments under this SECTION 2.23 exceeding the amount needed to make such Credit Party whole, such Credit Party shall pay to the Lead Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date upon which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all out of pocket expenses incurred in securing such refund, deduction or credit.

(j) Each Lender (other than a Person who becomes a lender to the Canadian Borrower as a result of the provisions of SECTION 8.17) which has a Canadian Commitment hereby certifies that it is a Canadian Lender. Each Person that becomes a Lender to the Canadian Borrower hereafter (other than as a result of the provisions of SECTION 8.17 or otherwise following the occurrence of a Determination Date) shall promptly deliver to the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Agent a certificate confirming that such Person is a Canadian Lender or is otherwise exempt from withholding taxes. If any such Lender (other than a Lender that becomes a Canadian Lender as a result of the provisions of SECTION 8.17) is not a Canadian Lender or otherwise is not exempt from the payment of withholding taxes on interest payments to it, prior to the Determination Date only, such Lender shall not be entitled to payments hereunder with respect to taxes imposed under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and such interest payments will be net of any applicable withholding taxes required to be withheld and remitted by the payor.

SECTION 2.24 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.14 or cannot make Loans under SECTION 2.11, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.23, as the case

- 112-

may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense. The Borrowers (in the case of the Canadian Borrower, only in respect of any Canadian Lender) hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be liable for such costs and expenses of a Lender requesting compensation if (i) such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement on a date after the Effective Date and (ii) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.14 or cannot make Loans under SECTION 2.11 for thirty (30) consecutive days, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.23, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in SECTION 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, however, that (i) the Lead Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender (and the Canadian Agent only in the case of a Canadian Lender), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under SECTION 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to SECTION 2.23, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (iv) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Minority Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 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 Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.25 Designation of Lead Borrower as Domestic Borrowers’ Agent.

(a) Each Domestic Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Domestic Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Domestic Borrower shall be obligated to the Administrative Agent and each Domestic Lender on account of Loans so made and Letters of Credit so issued as if made directly by the Domestic Lenders to such Domestic Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Loans and Letters of Credit are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Domestic Borrower.

(b) Each Borrower represents to the Credit Parties that it is an integral part of a consolidated enterprise, and that each Loan Party will receive direct and indirect benefits from the availability of the joint credit facility provided for herein, and from the ability to access the collective credit resources of the consolidated enterprise which the Loan Parties comprise. Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise

- 113-

could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations, Other Liabilities and Canadian Liabilities of each of the other Borrowers as if the Borrower which is so assuming and agreeing were each of the other Borrowers; provided that the Canadian Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be liable only for the Canadian Liabilities.

(c) The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Domestic Borrower (including itself, as a Domestic Borrower) on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a Revolving Credit Loan. None of the Agents nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds.

(d) The authority of the Lead Borrower to request Loans and Letters of Credit on behalf of, and to bind, the Domestic Borrowers, shall continue unless and until the Administrative Agent actually receives written notice of: (i) the termination of such authority; and (ii) the subsequent appointment of a successor Lead Borrower, which notice is signed by the respective Financial Officers of each Domestic Borrower; and (iii) written notice from such successive Lead Borrower accepting such appointment and acknowledging that from and after the date of such appointment, the newly appointed Lead Borrower shall be bound by the terms hereof, and that as used herein, the term “Lead Borrower” shall mean and include the newly appointed Lead Borrower.

SECTION 2.26 Security Interests in Collateral.

To secure their Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Other Liabilities, the Domestic Borrowers have granted (or shall grant) to the Administrative Agent, for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties, and the Canadian Borrower and each other Canadian Loan Party have granted (or shall grant) to the Canadian Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a first-priority security interest in, and hypothec of (subject to Permitted Encumbrances having priority by operation of Applicable Law), all of the Collateral pursuant hereto and to the Security Documents; provided that the Collateral granted by the Canadian Borrower and each other Canadian Loan Party shall secure only the Canadian Liabilities.

SECTION 2.27 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and SECTION 9.02.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to SECTION 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or Swingline

- 114-

Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Lead Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans (including any Loans made pursuant to SECTION 2.13(e)) in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in SECTION 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Outstandings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Outstandings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to SECTION 2.27(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this SECTION 2.27(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under SECTIONS 2.19(b) or 2.19(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to SECTION 2.13(j).

(C) With respect to any fee payable under SECTIONS 2.19(b) or 2.19(c) or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay

- 115-

to the Issuing Banks and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Banks’ or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in SECTION 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Lead Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the portion of the Total Domestic Revolver Outstandings or Total Canadian Revolver Outstandings Outstandings owing to any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Domestic Commitment or Canadian Commitment, as applicable. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under Applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in SECTION 2.13(j).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to SECTION 2.27(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.28 Extension of Commitments.

(a) The Lead Borrower, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments of a given Class (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal

- 116-

amount of such Commitments (any such Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this SECTION 2.28. In order to establish any Extended Commitments, the Lead Borrower, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall provide a notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms (which shall be determined in consultation with and subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Extended Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the maturity date of the Extended Commitments shall be later than the maturity date of the Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, (ii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Commitments); and (iii) all borrowings under the Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Commitments (and the outstanding Obligations thereunder), (II) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Commitments and (III) repayments, prepayments or payments of borrowings under the non-extending Commitments); provided, further, that (A) the conditions precedent to a Borrowing set forth in SECTION 4.02 shall be satisfied as of the date of such Extension Amendment and at the time when any Loans are made in respect of any Extended Commitment, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Commitments of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Commitments hereunder, (C) any such Extended Commitments (and the Liens securing the same) shall be permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent the Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect) and (D) all documentation in respect of the such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing in all material respects. Any Extended Commitments amended pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, an “Extension Series”) of Extended Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche.

(b) The Lead Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Revolver Tranche are requested to respond. The procedures to accomplish the purposes of this SECTION 2.28 shall be mutually agreed between the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case, acting reasonably. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to provide any Extended Commitment pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Commitment under the Existing Revolver Tranche which it has elected to request be amended into an Extended Commitment (subject to any minimum denomination requirements as mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche in respect of which applicable

- 117-

Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Commitments requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to reflect allocations of the Extended Commitments, which Extended Commitments shall be allocated as agreed by Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower.

(c) Following any Extension Request made by the Lead Borrower in accordance with this SECTION 2.28, if the Lenders shall have declined to agree during the period specified in SECTION 2.28(b) above to provide Extended Commitments in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount requested by the Lead Borrower in such Extension Request, the Lead Borrower may request that banks, financial institutions or other institutional lenders or investors other than the Lenders or Extending Revolving Credit Lenders (the “New Revolving Commitment Lenders”), which New Revolving Commitment Lenders may elect to provide an Extended Commitment hereunder (a “New Extended Commitment”); provided that such Extended Commitments of such New Revolving Commitment Lenders (i) shall be in an aggregate principal amount for all such New Revolving Commitment Lenders not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of Extended Commitments so declined to be provided by the existing Lenders and (ii) shall be on identical terms to the terms applicable to the terms specified in the applicable Extension Request (and any Extended Commitments provided by existing Lenders in respect thereof); provided further that, as a condition to the effectiveness of any Extended Commitment of any New Revolving Commitment Lender, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to each New Revolving Commitment Lender if such consent would be required under SECTION 9.04(b) for an assignment of Commitments to such Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Extended Commitment provided by New Revolving Commitment Lenders shall be pro rata to each New Revolving Commitment Lender. Upon effectiveness of the Extension Amendment to which each such New Revolving Commitment Lender is a party, (a) the Commitments of all existing Lenders of each Class specified in the Extension Amendment in accordance with this SECTION 2.28 will be permanently reduced pro rata by an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Commitments of such New Revolving Commitment Lenders and (b) the Commitment of each such New Revolving Commitment Lender will become effective. The Extended Commitments of New Revolving Commitment Lenders will be incorporated as Commitments hereunder in the same manner in which Extended Commitments of existing Lenders are incorporated hereunder pursuant to this SECTION 2.28, and for the avoidance of doubt, all Borrowings and repayments of Revolving Credit Loans from and after the effectiveness of such Extension Amendment shall be made pro rata across all Classes of Commitments including such New Revolving Commitment Lenders (based on the outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Commitments) except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates for each Class of Commitments (and related outstanding amounts), (y) repayments required on the Termination Date for any particular Class of Commitments and (z) payments, prepayments or repayments of the borrowings under any non-extending Commitments. Upon the effectiveness of each New Extended Commitment pursuant to this SECTION 2.28(c), (a) each Lender of all applicable existing Classes of Commitments immediately prior to such effectiveness will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each New Revolving Commitment Lender, and each such New Revolving Commitment Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations,

- 118-

the percentage of the outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each Lender of each Class of Commitments (including each such New Revolving Commitment Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Commitments of all Classes of Lenders represented by such Lender’s Commitment and (b) if, on the date of such effectiveness, there are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, such Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such New Extended Commitment be prepaid from the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder under the New Extended Commitments, which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any Breakage Costs incurred by any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) Extended Commitments and New Extended Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Revolving Credit Lender and each New Revolving Commitment Lender, if any, providing an Extended Commitment or a New Extended Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in SECTIONS 2.28(a), (b) and (c) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in SECTION 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the First Amendment Effective Date and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Co-Collateral Agents in order to ensure that the Extended Commitments or the New Extended Commitments, as the case may be, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Commitments or the New Extended Commitments, as the case may be, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (without the consent of the Required Lenders) and (iii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension Request in accordance with this SECTION 2.28 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.29 Excess Cash Flow

If, for any Fiscal Year of the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries commencing with the Fiscal Year ending in January, 2016, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrowers shall prepay the Tranche A-1 Loans in an amount equal to (i) fifty percent (50%) of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) any

- 119-

mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans required to be made based on “Excess Cash Flow” (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) for such Fiscal Year. Each such prepayment shall be made on a date no later than ten days after the date on which the financial statements of the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries referred to in SECTION 6.01(a) for such Fiscal Year are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Tranche A-1 Loans pursuant hereto, the Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. In the event that the Borrowers shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrowers shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Tranche A-1 Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrowers shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess. All payments under this SECTION 2.29 shall be applied ratably to the Canadian Tranche A-1 Loans and the Domestic Tranche A-1 Loans.

ARTICLE III

- 120-

SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.

(b) Each Loan Party owns or is licensed to use, all patents, trademarks, trade names, trade styles, brand names, service marks, logos, copyrights, and other intellectual property used in its business, except to the extent that the failure to so own or have the right to use would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the use thereof by the Loan Parties does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of the Loan Parties, as of the Effective Date, each of the Leases with respect to Real Estate leased by the Loan Parties (other than any Real Estate comprising temporary locations such as “pop-up” stores that are not currently intended to be open for more than one year and are not currently included in the Borrower’s overall store count) is in full force and effect and the Loan Parties are not in default of the terms thereof.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(a), there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the actual knowledge of Responsible Officers of a Loan Party, threatened in writing against or affecting any Loan Party (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents and would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(b), no Loan Party (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability, which, in each case, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Loan Party is in compliance with all Applicable Law and all Material Indebtedness (including, without limitation, the Indentures), and no event of default has occurred and is continuing thereunder, except in each case where the failure to comply or the existence of a default, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party has obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations which are required with respect to the ownership and operations of its business, except where the failure to obtain such permits, licenses or other authorizations, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan subject to ERISA (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans subject to ERISA (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans, in each case, to the extent that any resulting liabilities would reasonably be expect to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.11 Disclosure.

None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information (other than any projections, pro formas, budgets and general market information) concerning the Loan Parties furnished by or on at the direction of any Loan Party to any Credit Party in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder in connection therewith (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), when taken as a whole, contained, as of the date furnished, any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

As of the First Amendment Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party pending or, to the actual knowledge of any Responsible Officer of any Loan Party, threatened, except to the extent that strikes, lockouts or slowdowns would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse AEffect. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters to the extent that any such violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for Disclosed Matters and to the extent that such liability would not

- 123-

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all payments due from any Loan Party, or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued in accordance with GAAP as a liability on the books of such Loan Party.

SECTION 3.15 Security Documents.

The Security Documents create in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and the other Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security or mortgage interests in the Collateral (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and the Security Documents constitute, or will upon the filing of financing statements or other requisite registrations and/or the obtaining of “control”, in each case with respect to the relevant Collateral as required under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation of any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the PPSA and the Civil Code of Quebec, to the extent security interests in such Collateral can be perfected by such filings or control, the creation of a fully perfected and opposable first priority Lien on, and security interest in, and hypothecation of, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties thereunder in such Collateral (to the extent required under the Security Documents), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, except for Permitted Encumbrances having priority by operation of Applicable Law.

SECTION 3.16 Federal Reserve Regulations.

(a) No Loan Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock.

(b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (i) to buy or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose in violation of Regulation U or X or (ii) for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation U or Regulation X.

SECTION 3.17 Solvency.

As of the First Amendment Effective Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated to occur on the First Amendment Effective Date, the Loan Parties, on a Consolidated basis, are Solvent.

As a result of the foregoing, the Canadian Borrower confirms and agrees that subject to SECTION 8.03(a), above, the rights of the Canadian Agent and each of the Secured Parties who are owed Canadian Liabilities from time to time a party to this Agreement by way of assignment or otherwise are solidary and, as regards the Canadian Liabilities owing from time to time to each such Secured Party, each of the Canadian Agent and such Secured Party is entitled, when permitted pursuant to SECTION 7.01, to: (i) demand payment of all outstanding amounts from time to time in respect of the Canadian Liabilities; (ii) exact the whole performance of such Canadian Liabilities from the Canadian Loan Parties; (iii) benefit from the Canadian Agent’s Liens in the Collateral in respect of such Canadian Liabilities; (iv) give a full acquittance of such Canadian Liabilities (each Secured Party that is owed Canadian Liabilities hereby agreeing to be bound by any such acquittance); and (v) exercise all rights and recourses under the Loan Documents with respect to those Canadian Liabilities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts of the Canadian Borrower so offset shall be applied solely to, and shall be limited to, the Canadian Liabilities and any adjustments with respect thereto shall be made solely amongst Lenders having a Canadian Commitment.

SECTION 8.05 Agreement of Applicable Lenders.

Upon any occasion requiring or permitting an approval, consent, waiver, election or other action on the part of the Applicable Lenders, action shall be taken by each Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for and on behalf or for the benefit of all Credit Parties upon the direction of the Applicable Lenders, and any such action shall be binding on all Credit Parties.

(a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

amounts available to be borrowed by the Canadian Borrower would be increased; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Agents to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves;

(G) the prior written Unanimous Consent of all Lenders, except in connection with Permitted Dispositions or other transactions permitted under SECTION 6.03 resulting in such Loan Party ceasing to constitute a Loan Party, release any Loan Party (other than a Loan Party which is no longer a Material Subsidiary) from its obligations under any Loan Document, or limit its liability in respect of such Loan Document;

(I) the prior written Unanimous Consent of all Lenders, change SECTION 2.17, SECTION 7.03; SECTION 8.04 or SECTION 8.17;

No amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective against the Borrower unless signed by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally (to the extent provided herein) pay on the Effective Date all Credit Party Expenses incurred as of the Effective Date, subject to any reimbursement limitations agreed to in writing prior to the Effective Date. Thereafter, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally (to the extent provided herein) pay all Credit Party Expenses within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of an invoice therefor setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail; provided that, in the event that the Borrowers have a bona fide dispute with any such expenses, payment of such disputed amounts shall not be required until the earlier of the date such dispute is resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrowers or thirty (30) days after receipt of any such invoice (and any such disputed amount which is so paid shall be subject to a reservation of the Borrowers’ rights with respect thereto).

- 163-

(b) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Secured Parties and each of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of the respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and advisors of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all damages, actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, actions, causes of action, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for Bank of America, one counsel for the Canadian Agent and one counsel for all other Indemnitees (other than the Agents and the Canadian Agent), incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by, or asserted against, any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Credit Extension or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or (v) any documentary taxes, assessments or similar charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (w) are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Affiliate of such Indemnitee (or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of such Indemnitee or any such Indemnitee’s Affiliates), (x) are relating to disputes among Indemnitees, other than any such claims arising out of any act or omission of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates or claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity as an Issuing Bank or other similar role, or (y) are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from a material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations to a Loan Party. In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel and the Loan Parties shall promptly pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

(c) No party to this Agreement shall assert and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party to this Agreement or 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 other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Credit Extension or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this clause (c) shall limit the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations to the extent such special, indirect, consequential and punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

- 164-

(d) The provisions of SECTION 9.03(b) and SECTION 9.03(c) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations or the Other Liabilities, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of any Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Credit Party. All amounts due under this SECTION 9.03 shall be payable within fifteen (15) Business Days of written demand therefor, which written demand shall set forth such amounts in reasonable detail.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in SECTION 9.03(a) or SECTION 9.03(b), the Canadian Borrower's obligation to pay and indemnify shall be limited to matters, fees, expenses charges and disbursement, or losses, claims, damages and liabilities which the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent determines in their reasonable judgment to be properly attributable or allocable to the Canadian Borrower.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and any such attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Indemnitees, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Enumerated Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower (each of whose consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, with respect to the Lead Borrower, shall be deemed given if the Lead Borrower has not responded to a request for such consent within ten (10) Business Days), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (other than any Person in direct competition with a Loan Party’s business) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Domestic Commitment or Canadian Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that no such consent shall be required in connection with any assignment to another Lender; provided further that each assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to a partial assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 with respect to eitherthe Domestic Commitments or Canadian Commitments or $1,000,000 with respect to the Tranche A-1 Loans, as applicable; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations; without limitation, for clarity, any partial assignments of a Lender’s Tranche A-1 Loans shall include the same proportion of its Canadian Tranche A-1 Loans and its Domestic Tranche A-1 Loans (iii) any Person may be a Canadian Lender (other than a Canadian Tranche A-1 Lender) only if it or any of its Affiliates also has Domestic Commitments in an amount at least equal to its Canadian Commitment; and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with (unless waived by the Administrative Agent or unless such assignment is to an Affiliate

- 165-

of a Lender) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to SECTION 9.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 9.03; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this SECTION 9.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with SECTION 9.04(e). The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any effective assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Loan Parties to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Credit Party” for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices in Boston, Massachusetts, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Domestic Commitment and the Canadian Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties and Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

- 166-

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in SECTION 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by SECTION 9.04(a), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this SECTION 9.04(d).

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Loan Parties or any other Person, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any Person in direct competition with a Loan Party’s business) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Domestic Commitment, Canadian Commitment and the Loans owing to it), subject to the following:

(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement 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;

(iii) the Loan Parties and other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(iv) any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation in the Commitments, the Loans and the Letters of Credit Outstandings shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to SECTION 9.02(b)(ii)(A) or SECTION 9.02(b)(ii)(B) that affects such Participant;

(v) subject to clauses (viii) and (ix) of this SECTION 9.04(e), the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits (and subject to the requirements) of SECTION 2.14 and SECTION 2.23 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to SECTION 9.04(b);

(vi) to the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 9.08 as though it were a Lender so long as such Participant agrees to be subject to SECTION 2.21(c) as though it were a Lender;

(vii) each Lender, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at its offices a record of each agreement or instrument effecting any participation and a register (each a “Participant Register”) meeting the requirements of 26 CFR §5f.103 1(c) for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants and their rights with respect to principal amounts and other Obligations from time to time. The entries in each Participant Register shall be conclusive and the Loan Parties and the Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Participant Register as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of entitlement to benefits under SECTION 2.14, SECTION 2.23, and SECTION 9.08). The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower and any Credit Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice;

- 167-

(viii) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.23 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Lead Borrower’s prior written consent; and

(ix) a Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 2.23 unless the Lead Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to comply with SECTION 2.23(e) as though it were a Lender and such Participant is eligible for exemption from, or reduction in, the withholding Tax referred to therein, following compliance with SECTION 2.23(e).

(f) Any Credit Party may, without obtaining the consent of any Loan Party, at any time charge, pledge, assign or otherwise grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Credit Party, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a central bank or any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341, and this SECTION 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Credit Party from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Credit Party as a party hereto.

(g) The Loan Parties authorize each Credit Party to disclose to any Participant or assignee and any prospective Participant or assignee, subject to the provisions of SECTION 9.15, any and all financial information in such Credit Party’s possession concerning the Loan Parties which has been delivered to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Loan Parties in connection with such Credit Party’s credit evaluation of the Loan Parties prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 9.05 Survival.

All covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until (a) the Commitments have expired or been terminated, (b) the principal of, and interest on, each Loan and all fees and other Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims and, if no acceleration has occurred and no Liquidation has commenced, the Other Liabilities) shall have been paid in full, (c) all Letters of Credit shall have expired or terminated (or been Cash Collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Issuing Bank) and (d) all Letter of Credit Outstandings have been reduced to zero (or Cash Collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Issuing Bank). The provisions of SECTION 2.14, SECTION 2.23, SECTION 9.03 and ARTICLE VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination

- 168-

of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties, may require such indemnities as it shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against loss on account of such release and termination, including, without limitation, with respect to credits previously applied to the Obligations or Other Liabilities that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, and any Obligations that may thereafter arise, including without limitation under SECTION 9.03 and/or with respect to the Other Liabilities.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and any fee letters or fee agreements referred to in SECTION 2.19(a)) constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all contemporaneous or previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in SECTION 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the applicable Credit Parties and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff.

If an Enumerated Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party, each Participant and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding the Designated Account, and payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Secured Party, Participant or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Loan Parties against any and all of the Obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or other Loan Document to the extent such are then due and owing, although such Obligations may be otherwise fully secured; provided that such Secured Party shall provide the Lead Borrower with written notice promptly after its exercise of such right of setoff. The rights of each Secured Party under this SECTION 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Credit Party may have. No Credit Party will, or will permit its Participant to, exercise its rights under this SECTION 9.08 without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts of the Canadian Borrower so offset shall be applied solely to the Canadian Liabilities. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY AGENT OR THE CANADIAN AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, THE OTHER LIABILITIES

- 169-

OR THE CANADIAN LIABILITIES, AS APPLICABLE, PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY ANY SECURED PARTY, PARTICIPANT OR AFFILIATE OF ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF UNDER THIS SECTION ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

(b) Each Loan Party agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or any federal court sitting therein as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each party to this Agreement hereby waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Credit Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against a Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party agrees that any action commenced by any Loan Party asserting any claim or counterclaim arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be brought solely in a court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or any federal court sitting therein as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such action.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in SECTION 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY); AND WAIVES DUE DILIGENCE, DEMAND, PRESENTMENT AND PROTEST AND ANY NOTICES THEREOF AS WELL AS NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS

- 170-

AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Each Borrower consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent of customary trade advertising material in tombstone format relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Borrower’s name, and with the consent of the Lead Borrower, logo or trademark. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall provide a draft reasonably in advance of any advertising material to the Lead Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication thereof. The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent reserve the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

SECTION 9.12 Headings.

Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Revolving Credit Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Revolving Credit Loan under Applicable Law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final order to exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Revolving Credit Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Revolving Credit Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this SECTION 9.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Revolving Credit Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, in the case of the Domestic Lenders, and at the Bank of Canada Overnight Rate, in the case of Canadian Lenders, to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.14 Additional Waivers.

(a) The Obligations, the Other Liabilities and the Canadian Liabilities are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party, provided that the Canadian Borrower and the other Canadian Loan Parties shall be liable only for the Canadian Liabilities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release of any Loan Party from, any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party.

- 171-

(b) The obligations of each Loan Party to pay the Obligations, the Other Liabilities or the Canadian Liabilities, as applicable, in full hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, the Other Liabilities or the Canadian Liabilities, as applicable, after the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, the Other Liabilities or the Canadian Liabilities, as applicable, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, the Other Liabilities or Canadian Liabilities, as applicable, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations or the Other Liabilities, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations and Other Liabilities after termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document).

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations, the Other Liabilities or Canadian Liabilities or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations, the Other Liabilities and the Canadian Liabilities after the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. The Agents and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, the Other Liabilities and the Canadian Liabilities, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations, the Other Liabilities and the Canadian Liabilities have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full after the termination of Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. Pursuant to Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Domestic Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations and the Other Liabilities as joint and several obligors under this Agreement. Upon payment by any Loan Party of any Obligations, Other Liabilities or the Canadian Liabilities, all rights of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for then unasserted claims), the Other Liabilities and the Canadian Liabilities (other than contingent indemnity obligations for then unasserted claims) and the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution,

- 172-

reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, the Other Liabilities and the Canadian Liabilities, as applicable, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that any Domestic Loan Party shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations, the Other Liabilities or Canadian Liabilities constituting Revolving Credit Loans made to another Loan Party hereunder (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Domestic Loan Party making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Domestic Loan Parties (or the Canadian Loan Parties, if applicable) in an amount, (x) for each of such other Domestic Loan Parties, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Domestic Loan Party’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Domestic Loan Parties, or (y) for each Canadian Loan Party, in an amount equal to such Accommodation Payment. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Domestic Loan Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Domestic Loan Party hereunder without (a) rendering such Domestic Loan Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Domestic Loan Party with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Domestic Loan Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Credit Party, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Credit Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such Loan Party by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses that such Loan Party may have because the Obligations and Other Liabilities are secured by Real Property which means, among other things: (i) a Credit Party may collect from any Loan Party without first foreclosing on any Real Property or personal property Collateral pledged by a Loan Party; (ii) if any Credit Party forecloses on any Real Property pledged by any Loan Party, the amount of the Obligations and Other Liabilities may be reduced only by the price for which that Real Property is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Real Property is worth more than the sale price; and (iii) the Credit Parties may collect Obligations and Other Liabilities from a Loan Party even if a Credit Party, by foreclosing on any such Real Property, has destroyed any right any Loan Party may have to collect from the other Loan Parties. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Loan Party may have because the Obligations and Other Liabilities are secured by Real Property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Loan Party hereby absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California.

- 173-

(f) Each Loan Party hereby agrees to keep each other Loan Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of its business, affairs, finances, and financial condition, and its ability to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents and the Other Liabilities, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect thereto. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to undertake to keep itself apprised at all times as to the status of the business, affairs, finances, and financial condition of each other Loan Party, and of the ability of each other Loan Party to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents and the Other Liabilities, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect to any thereof. Each Loan Party hereby agrees, in light of the foregoing mutual covenants to inform each other, and to keep themselves and each other informed as to such matters, that the Credit Parties shall have no duty to inform any Loan Party of any information pertaining to the business, affairs, finances, or financial condition of any other Loan Party, or pertaining to the ability of any other Loan Party to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents and the Other Liabilities, even if such information is adverse, and even if such information might influence the decision of one or more of the Loan Parties to continue to be jointly and severally liable for, or to provide Collateral for, Obligations or Other Liabilities of one or more of the other Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any duty of the Credit Parties to inform any Loan Party of any such information.

SECTION 9.15 Confidentiality.

Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and agree to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process (the Credit Parties’ agreeing to furnish the Lead Borrower with notice of such process and an opportunity to contest such disclosure as long as furnishing such notice and opportunity would not result in the Credit Parties’ violation of Applicable Law), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this SECTION 9.15, to any assignee of, or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and any actual or prospective counterparty or advisors to any swap or derivative transactions relating to the Loan Parties, the Canadian Liabilities, the Other Liabilities and the Obligations so long as such Person or any of their Affiliates is not a competitor of any Loan Party, (g) with the consent of the Loan Parties, or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this SECTION 9.15, or to the knowledge of such Credit Party, the breach of any other Person’s obligation to keep the information confidential, or (ii) becomes available to any Credit Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties. For the purposes of this SECTION 9.15, the term “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates relating to their business. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this SECTION 9.15 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including conference calls or meetings with the Loan Parties to review their earnings

- 174-

and other information, may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws.

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including conference calls or meetings with the Loan Parties to review their earnings and other information, will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws.

SECTION 9.16 Patriot Act; Proceeds of Crime Act.

Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) (including all applicable “know your customer” rules, regulations and procedures applicable to such Lender in Canada), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each Loan Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act and the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) (the “Proceeds of Crime Act”). No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Loan Parties, directly or indirectly, for any purpose which would contravene or breach the Proceeds of Crime Act or for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

SECTION 9.17 Foreign Asset Control Regulations.

Neither of the advance of the Revolving Credit Loans, nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof, will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., as amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)). Furthermore, none of the Borrowers or their Affiliates (a) is or will become a “blocked person” as described in the Executive Order, the Trading With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or (b) knowingly engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked person” or in any manner violative of any such order.

SECTION 9.19 Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Canadian Borrower in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this SECTION 9.19 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in CD$ or dollars under this Agreement, the conversion will be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding:

(i) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of the Province of Ontario or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or

(ii) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this SECTION 9.19 being hereinafter in this SECTION 9.19 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in SECTION 9.19(a)(ii), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Canadian Borrower will pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of CD$ or dollars, as the case may be, which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

(c) Any amount due from the Canadian Borrower under the provisions of this SECTION 9.19 will be due as a separate debt and will not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement.

(d) The term “rate of exchange” in this SECTION 9.19 means:

(i) for a conversion of CD$ to the Judgment Currency, the reciprocal of the official noon rate of exchange published by the Bank of Canada for the date in question for the conversion of the Judgment Currency to CD$;

(ii) for a conversion of dollars to the Judgment Currency when the Judgment Currency is CD$, the official noon rate of exchange published by the Bank of Canada for the date in question for the conversion of dollars to CD$;

(iii) for a conversion of dollars to the Judgment Currency when the Judgment Currency is not CD$, the effective rate obtained when a given amount of dollars is converted to CD$ at the rate determined pursuant to this SECTION 9.19 and the result thereof is then converted to the Judgment Currency pursuant to this SECTION 9.19; or

SECTION 9.20 Language.

The parties herein have expressly requested that this Agreement and all related documents be drawn up in the English language. A la demande expresse des parties aux présentes, cette convention et tout document y afférent ont été rédigés en langue anglaise.

SECTION 9.21 Existing Credit Agreement Amended and Restated. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, (a) this Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety (except to the extent that definitions from the Existing Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference) and (b) the rights and obligations of the parties under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be subsumed within, and be governed by, this Agreement; provided, however, that the Loan Parties hereby agree that (i) the Letter of Credit Outstandings under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement on the Effective Date shall be Letter of Credit Outstandings hereunder, and (ii) all Obligations and Other Liabilities of the Loan Parties under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding, shall constitute continuing Obligations and Other Liabilities secured by the Collateral, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to evidence or result in a novation or repayment and reborrowing of such obligations and other liabilities.

Each Loan Party that, at the time the guarantee of (or grant of a security interest by, as applicable) another Loan Party becomes or would become effective as to any Swap Obligation of any Loan Party, is a Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that the Facility Guarantee constitute at such time, and such guarantee shall be deemed to constitute at such time, a guarantee for the benefit of each other Loan Party for purposes of Section 1a(18)(a)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, and for purposes of the foregoing sentence, such “effective” date with respect to any Loan Party shall be the date of the execution of a Hedge Agreement in respect of a Swap Obligation that constitutes a Bank Product if this Agreement is then in effect with respect to such Loan Party, and otherwise it shall be the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Loan Party.

The Shared Collateral Agents, on behalf of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) the ABL Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment, that in the ordinary course of business the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders will apply payments and make advances thereunder, and that no application of any ABL Collateral or the release of any Lien by the ABL Agent upon any portion of the ABL Collateral in connection with a permitted disposition by the ABL Loan Parties under any ABL Credit Agreement shall constitute the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies under this Agreement; (ii) the amount of the ABL Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the ABL Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the ABL Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the Shared Collateral Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof; and (iii) all ABL Collateral received by the ABL Agent may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited, or reborrowed, in whole or in part, to the ABL Obligations at any time; provided, however, that from and after the date on which the ABL Agent (or any ABL Lender) commences the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, all amounts received by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender in respect of any ABL Collateral shall be applied as specified in this Section 4.1.

avoided, subordinated, or otherwise invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction and the provisions of Section 5.3 would not be effective, the such proceeds received by such Shared Collateral Agent with respect to the ABL Collateral subject to avoidance, subordination or invalidation shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to the payment of the Shared Collateral Obligations in accordance with the Shared Collateral Documents.

(c)Limited Obligation or Liability. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, the ABL Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the Shared Collateral Agents or to any Shared Collateral Secured Party, regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds of ABL Collateral or for any action or omission, save and except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by each Party under the terms of this Agreement.

Security Interest

2.1Security Interest. As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of their respective Obligations, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising (the “Security Interest”); provided that, the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent in, to and under Intercompany Licenses shall be limited to the non-exclusive right to use the Proprietary Marks in exercising the Agent’s Rights and Remedies in connection with a Liquidation. Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor hereby designates the Administrative Agent as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney, exercisable by the Administrative Agent whether or not an Event of Default exists, with full power of substitution, at the Administrative Agent’s option, to file one or more Financing Statements, continuation statements, or to sign other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming or continuing the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor (each Grantor hereby appointing the Administrative Agent as such Person’s attorney to sign such Person’s name to any such instrument or document, whether or not an Event of Default exists), and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Collateral include, and no Grantor shall be deemed to have assigned, pledged or granted a Security Interest in, any of such Grantor’s right, title or interest (i) in any asset where the grant of a Lien

over such asset as reasonably determined by the Lead Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) would result in material adverse tax consequences to any Grantor, (ii) in any motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificate of title, (iii) any Commercial Tort Claim with a value of less than $1,000,000 or (iv) any Security or other equity interest representing any ownership interest in ZT-Winston-Salem Associates.


2.2	No Assumption of Liability. The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of, any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

SECTION 3

Representations and Warranties

The Grantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties that:

3.1Filings. The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed, and the information set forth therein is correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof. UCC Financing Statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations containing a description of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the UCC Financing Statements identified on Schedule 3.2 hereto) have been or will be timely filed in each governmental, municipal or other office as is necessary to publish notice of and protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or re-registration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under Applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements or as a result of any change in a Grantor’s name or jurisdiction of incorporation or formation or under any other circumstances under which, pursuant to the UCC, filings previously made have become misleading or ineffective in whole or in part.

3.2Validity and Priority of Security Interest. The Security Interest constitutes (a) a legal and valid security interest in all of the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, (b) subject to the filings described on Schedule 3.2 or other requisite filings or registrations described in Section 3.2, a perfected security interest in all of the Collateral (to the extent perfection in the Collateral can be accomplished by such filing) and (c) subject to the obtaining of Control, a perfected security interest in all of the Collateral (to the extent perfection in the Collateral can be accomplished by Control and perfection of the Security Interest in such Collateral is required by the terms hereof). The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances having priority by operation of Applicable Law.

3.3Absence of Other Liens. The Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for (i) Permitted Encumbrances or (ii) Liens for which termination statements have been delivered

to the Administrative Agent. Except as provided in the Loan Documents, the Grantors have not filed or consented to the filing of (a) any Financing Statement or analogous document under the UCC or any other Applicable Law covering any Collateral, or (b) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which Financing Statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Permitted Encumbrances.

3.4Bailees, Warehousemen, Etc. Schedule 3.53.4 hereto sets forth a list, as of the Closing Date, of each bailee, warehouseman and other third party in possession or control of any Inventory of any Loan Party and specifies as to each bailee, warehouseman or other third party whether the value of the Inventory, at Cost, possessed or controlled by such bailee, warehouseman or other third party exceeds $20,000,000.

3.5Consignments. No Grantor has, and none shall have, possession of any property on consignment from any consignor having a value greater than $10,000,000 unless a lien waiver or other agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent is delivered to the Administrative Agent by such consignor.

3.6Intercompany Licenses. The Intercompany Licenses have not been terminated and, to each Grantor’s knowledge, no breach, default or other circumstances exist in respect thereof which would reasonably likely materially impair or restrict the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize the Proprietary Marks in exercising the Agent’s Rights and Remedies in connection with any Liquidation.

3.7Commercial Tort Claims. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.7 hereof, as of the Closing Date, no Grantor owns any rights in, to or under any Commercial Tort Claim having a value in excess of $1,000,000.

SECTION 4

Covenants

The Grantors jointly and severally covenant and agree with the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties as follows:

4.1Change of Name; Location of Collateral; Records; Place of Business.

(a)Each Grantor agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any change in: (i) any Loan Party’s name; (ii) the location of any Loan Party’s chief executive office or, its principal place of business; (iii) any Loan Party’s organizational legal entity designation or jurisdiction of incorporation or formation; (iv) any Loan Party’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number assigned to it by its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation; or (v) the acquisition by any Grantor of any material property for which additional filings or recordings are necessary to perfect and maintain the Administrative Agent’s Security Interest therein (to the extent perfection of the Security Interest in such property is required by the terms hereof). Each Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the UCC or other Applicable Law that are required in order for the Administrative Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected (to the extent perfection of the Security Interest in such property is required by

the terms hereof), first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances having priority by operation of Applicable Law Law or, with respect to Shared Collateral (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), subject to Liens in favor of the Shared Collateral Agents (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement) in the Collateral for its benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties.

(b)Each Grantor agrees to maintain, at its own cost and expense, such complete and accurate records with respect to the Collateral owned by it as is consistent with its current practices or in accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries that are the same as, or similar to, those in which such Grantor is engaged, but in any event to include materially complete accounting records indicating all payments and proceeds received with respect to any part of the Collateral, and, at such time or times as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in writing, promptly to prepare and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent showing the identity, amount and location of any and all Collateral.

4.2Protection of Security. Each Grantor shall, at its own cost and expense, take any and all actions reasonably necessary to defend the Security Interest of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral against any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and the priority thereof (except for Permitted Encumbrances having priority by operation of Applicable Law).

4.3Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments and take all such further actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created or intended to be created hereby or the validity or priority of such Security Interest, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any Financing Statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor, at its own expense, shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments and take all such further actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to perfect the Administrative Agent’s Security Interest in all Accounts, Inventory, Deposit Accounts (to the extent required by Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement), and the proceeds therefrom (including causing the Administrative Agent to have Control of any such Collateral to the extent perfection in such Collateral can be accomplished by Control to the extent required hereunder). If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument with an individual face value in excess of $1,000,000, such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged to the Administrative Agent and delivered to the Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

4.4Taxes; Encumbrances. At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and may take any other action which the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to repair, maintain or preserve any of the Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each

Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any payment made or any reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of an invoice therefore setting forth such payments or expenses in reasonable detail; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents; and provided, further, that the making of any such payments or the taking of any such action by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default arising from any Grantor’s failure to have made such payments or taken such action.

4.5Assignment of Security Interest.

(a)If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Administrative Agent. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of, and transferees from, the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(b)To the extent that any Grantor is a beneficiary under any written letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor having a face amount in excess of $1,000,000, such Grantor shall deliver such letter of credit to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall from time to time, at the request and expense of such Grantor, promptly make such arrangements with such Grantor as are in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment necessary and appropriate so that such Grantor may make any drawing to which such Grantor is entitled under such letter of credit, without impairment of the Administrative Agent’s perfected security interest in such Grantor’s rights to proceeds of such letter of credit or in the actual proceeds of such drawing. At the Administrative Agent’s request, such Grantor shall, for any such letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor as beneficiary, execute and deliver to the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit an assignment of proceeds form, in favor of the Administrative Agent and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such issuer or (as the case may be) such confirmer, requiring, after the occurrence of a Cash Dominion Event, the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit to be paid directly to the Administrative Agent.

4.6Continuing Obligations of the Grantors. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or duty to perform any obligation of any Grantor under the contracts, agreements or instruments constituting or relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Intercompany Licenses and the payment of royalties thereunder) and that each Grantor shall at all times remain solely and exclusively liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument constituting or relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Intercompany Licenses and the payment of royalties thereunder).

4.7Use and Disposition of Collateral. None of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made any collateral assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral or shall grant Control (for purposes of security) of any Collateral to any Person, except for Permitted Encumbrances. Except for Permitted Dispositions expressly permitted in the Credit Agreement, none of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made any sale or transfer of the Collateral, and, except as expressly permitted in the Credit Agreement with respect to Eligible In-Transit Inventory and Eligible Letter of Credit Inventory, each Grantor shall remain at all times in possession of the Collateral owned by it. The Grantors shall not permit any expiration, termination, modification, amendment or waiver of any Intercompany License that would reasonably likely materially impair or restrict the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize the Proprietary Marks in exercising the Agent’s Rights and Remedies in connection with any Liquidation.

4.8Limitation on Modification of Accounts. None of the Grantors will, without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any of the Accounts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, releases, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements (a) granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its current practices or in accordance with such prudent business practices as determined by the Responsible Officers of the Loan Parties acting reasonably in their business judgment or (b) constituting a Permitted Disposition as described in clause (f) of the definition thereof.

4.9Insurance.

(a)The Grantors shall maintain insurance on the Collateral as required by Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement, which insurance shall include the endorsements and provisions required by Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement.

(b)Each Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, exercisable only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Administrative Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably advisable. All sums reasonably disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Section 4.9, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, out-of-pocket expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.

4.10Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time acquire a Commercial Tort Claim having a value in excess of $1,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the details thereof and the Grantors shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected and first priority security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, subject to Liens in favor of Term Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

4.11Legend. At the request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall legend, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, its Accounts and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that the Administrative Agent has a security interest therein.

4.12Notices and Reports Pertaining to Intercompany Licenses. In addition to any other notice or reporting requirement imposed on the Grantors under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Grantors will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any breach, default or other circumstance in respect of any Intercompany License which would reasonably likely materially impair or restrict the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize the Proprietary Marks in exercising the Agent’s Rights and Remedies in connection with any Liquidation.

SECTION 5

5.1Collections.

(a)Each Grantor shall at all times comply with the Cash Receipts provisions of Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement including, without limitation, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, causing the sweep on each Business Day of all Cash Receipts into the Domestic Concentration Account or a Blocked Account, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.

(b)Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Grantor shall modify or amend the instructions pursuant to any of the Credit Card Notifications or the Blocked Account Agreements. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Grantor shall, and the Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to, enforce and collect all amounts owing on the Inventory and Accounts, for the benefit and on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties; provided, however, that such right may, at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, be terminated upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.

5.2Power of Attorney. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity the Administrative Agent

shall have the right, with power of substitution for each Grantor and in each Grantor’s name or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, (a) at any time, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred, to take actions required to be taken by the Grantors under Section 2.1 of this Agreement, (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, (i) to take actions required to be taken by the Grantors under Section 5.1 of this Agreement, and (ii) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; and (c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, (i) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (ii) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoices, schedules of Collateral, freight or express receipts, or bills of lading storage receipts, warehouse receipts or other documents of title relating to any of the Collateral; (iii) to sign the name of any Grantor on any notice to such Grantor’s Account Debtors; (iv) to sign the name of any Grantor on any proof of claim in bankruptcy against Account Debtors, and on notices of lien, claims of mechanic’s liens, or assignments or releases of mechanic’s liens securing the Accounts; (v) to sign change of address forms to change the address to which each Grantor’s mail is to be sent to such address as the Administrative Agent shall designate; (vi) to receive and open each Grantor’s mail, remove any Proceeds of Collateral therefrom and turn over the balance of such mail either to the Lead Borrower or to any trustee in bankruptcy or receiver of a Grantor, or other legal representative of a Grantor whom the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be the appropriate person to whom to so turn over such mail; (vii) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (viii) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (ix) to take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to obtain the payment of any letter of credit and/or banker’s acceptance of which any Grantor is a beneficiary; (x) to repair, manufacture, assemble, complete, package, deliver, alter or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any customer of any Grantor; (xi) to use, license or transfer any or all General Intangibles of any Grantor; and (xii) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or to present or file any claim or notice. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Administrative Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The appointment of the Administrative Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the purposes set forth above shall terminate when (a) the Commitments have expired or been terminated, (b) the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other Obligations (which for purposes of this clause shall include the Other Liabilities only if the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have been accelerated and Liquidation has commenced and then only to the extent then due and payable) (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) shall have been paid in full, (c) all Letters of Credit shall have expired or terminated (or been cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the applicable

Issuing Banks) and (d) all Letter of Credit Outstandings have been reduced to zero (or cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks).

5.3No Obligation to Act. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to do any of the acts or to exercise any of the powers authorized by Section 5.2, but if the Administrative Agent elects to do any such act or to exercise any of such powers, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and shall not be responsible to any Grantor for any act or omission to act except for any act or omission to act as to which there is a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction that (i) the subject act or omission to act by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate constituted gross negligence, was in bad faith, or constituted willful misconduct or (ii) constituted a breach by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate of its obligations to such Grantor. The provisions of Section 5.2 shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any other or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise.

SECTION 6

Remedies

6.1Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other Applicable Law. The Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall include, without limitation, the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times as directed by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders:

(a)With respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, General Intangibles (including Payment Intangibles), Letter-of-Credit Rights, Instruments, Chattel Paper, Documents, and Investment Property, the Administrative Agent may collect the Collateral with or without the taking of possession of any of the Collateral.

(b)With respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, the Administrative Agent may (i) demand, collect and receive any amounts relating thereto, as the Administrative Agent may determine; (ii) commence and prosecute any actions in any court for the purposes of collecting any such Accounts and enforcing any other rights in respect thereof; (iii) defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; (iv) without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 5.2 hereof, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to any Grantor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of

the goods giving rise to such Accounts or securing or relating to such Accounts, on behalf of and in the name of such Grantor; and (v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any such Accounts or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.

(c)With respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property, the Administrative Agent may (i) exercise all rights of any Grantor with respect thereto, including without limitation, the right to exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of the shareholders of the issuer of any Investment Property and to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Investment Property as if the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of any Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received as provided in Section 5.3 hereof; (ii) transfer such Collateral at any time to itself, or to its nominee, and receive the income thereon and hold the same as. Collateral hereunder or apply it to the Obligations; and (iii) demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable. The Grantors recognize that (a) the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77, (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) that private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Investment Property were sold at public sales, (c) that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the Investment Property to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Grantor shall be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Investment Property under the Securities Act or any or Blue Sky Laws.

(d)With respect to any Collateral consisting of Inventory, Goods, and Equipment, the Administrative Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Administrative Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor. The Administrative Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Administrative Agent or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Administrative Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein.

Each purchaser at any such going out of business sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.

(e)With respect to any Proprietary Marks, the Administrative Agent may exercise all of the rights granted to the Grantors under the Intercompany Licenses (for the limited purpose of allowing the Administrative Agent to utilize the Proprietary Marks in exercising the Agent’s Rights and Remedies in connection with any Liquidation of any Grantor’s Inventory or other Collateral).

(f)With or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, the Administrative Agent may enter upon, occupy, and use any premises owned or occupied by each Grantor, and may exclude the Grantors from such premises or portion thereof as may have been so entered upon, occupied, or used by the Administrative Agent to the extent the Administrative Agent deems such exclusion reasonably necessary to preserve and protect the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to remove any of the Collateral from any such premises upon the Administrative Agent’s taking possession thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Grantors. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable to any Grantor for use or occupancy by the Administrative Agent of any premises pursuant to this Section 6.1, nor for any royalties or any other amounts due under, or any other obligations in respect of, the Intercompany Licenses, nor for any charge (such as wages for the Grantors’ employees and utilities) incurred in connection with the Administrative Agent’s exercise of the Agents’ Rights and Remedies.

(g)The Administrative Agent may require any Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at the Grantor’s sole risk and expense at a place or places which are reasonably convenient to both the Administrative Agent and such Grantor.

(h)Each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to Applicable Law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.

(i)Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Administrative Agent shall provide the Grantors such notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), the Administrative Agent shall give the Grantors at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the date, time and place of any proposed public sale, and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be made. Each Grantor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to that Grantor which are imposed under the UCC or other Applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies upon default. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.

(j)Any public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale. At any sale or other disposition, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. If any of the Collateral is sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of by the Administrative Agent on credit, the Obligations shall not be deemed to have been reduced as a result thereof unless and until payment is received thereon by the Administrative Agent.

(k)At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor, the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party from any Grantor on account of the Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.

(l)For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof. The Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.

(m)As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.

(n)To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Grantor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

(o)In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting any Borrower or the creditors or property of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent and. Secured Party, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount of the Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional portion of the Obligations accruing after such date.

6.2Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, the

Administrative Agent shall promptly apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, or any Collateral granted under any other of the Security Documents, in accordance with Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement.

Subject to the right of the Required Lenders to direct the exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by. the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale or other disposition shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 7

Perfection of Security Interest

7.1Perfection by Filing. This Agreement constitutes an authenticated record, and each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 5.2, to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral, in such filing offices as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate, and the Grantors shall pay the Administrative Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Each Grantor hereby further agrees that a carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a Financing Statement and may be filed as a Financing Statement in any and all jurisdictions.

7.2Other Perfection, Etc. The Grantors shall at any time and from time to time take such steps as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the Administrative Agent (a) to obtain Control of any Deposit Accounts (including the Designated Account) to the extent required by Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (b) to obtain Control of any Investment Property, Letter-of-Credit Rights or electronic Chattel Paper, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (b) otherwise to insure the continued perfection of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral with the priority described in Section 3.2 and of the preservation of its rights therein.

7.3Savings Clause. Nothing contained in this Article VII shall be construed to narrow the scope of the Administrative Agent’s Security Interest in any of the Collateral or the perfection or priority thereof or to impair or otherwise limit any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies hereunder except (and then only to the extent) as mandated by the UCC.

SECTION 8

Miscellaneous

8.1Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

8.2Grant of Non-Exclusive License. Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent under the assignment of the Intercompany Licenses provided herein, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a royalty free, non-exclusive, irrevocable license, which license shall be exercisable upon the existence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to use, apply, and affix any Intellectual Property (other than Intellectual Property licensed pursuant to the Intercompany Licenses, including the Proprietary Marks) in which any Grantor now or hereafter has rights, such license being with respect to the Administrative Agent’s exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies hereunder including, without limitation, in connection with any Liquidation of Inventory; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent’s exercise of the foregoing license shall be conditioned upon the Administrative Agent not violating any obligations (excluding the payment of royalties) or restrictions to which the Grantor of the related Intellectual Property is subject (except those obligations or restrictions which would reasonably likely materially impair or restrict the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize the Intellectual Property in exercising the Agent’s Rights and Remedies).

8.3Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from the Facility Guarantee or any other guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement (other than circumstances under which (i) the Commitments have expired or been terminated, (ii) the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other Obligations (which for purposes of this clause shall include the Other Liabilities only if the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have been accelerated and Liquidation has commenced and then only to the extent then due and payable) (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) shall have been paid in full, (iii) all Letters of Credit shall have expired or terminated (or been cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks) and (iv) all Letter of Credit Outstandings have been reduced to zero (or cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks)).

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors herein and in any other Loan Document and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of

any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Loan Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect unless terminated in accordance with Section 8.15 hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, may require such indemnities as it shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Secured Parties against (x) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, and (y) any obligations that may thereafter arise with respect to the Other Liabilities.

8.5Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Grantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each Grantor and its respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Grantor and the Administrative Agent and its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of each Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

8.6Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.

(a)Without limiting any of their obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without duplication of any fees, expenses or indemnification provided for under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Grantors jointly and severally shall pay all Credit Party Expenses, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of an invoice therefore setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail, in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise, enforcement or protection of any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies hereunder or (iv) the failure of any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof; provided, that in the event the Grantors have a bona fide dispute with any such expenses, payment of such disputed amounts shall not be required until the earlier of the date such dispute is resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Grantors or thirty (30) days after receipt of any such invoice ▇▇▇▇(and any such disputed amount which is so paid shall be subject to a reservation of the Grantors’ rights with respect thereto).

8.7Without limiting any of their indemnification obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without duplication of any fees, expenses or indemnification provided for under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Grantor, shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Secured Parties and each of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of the respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and advisors of any of the foregoing Persons

(each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all damages, actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, actions, causes of action, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Agents and one counsel for all other Indemnitees (other than the Agents), incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by, or asserted against, any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the performance by any Grantor of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or to the Collateral, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (w) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Agent or such Indemnitee or any Affiliate of such Indemnitee (or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of such Indemnitee or any such Indemnitee’s Affiliates), (x) are relating to disputes among Indemnitees, (y) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from a breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations to a Loan Party, or (z) which constitute indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages. In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel and the Grantors shall promptly pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

(a)Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments, the payment of all fees and other Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 8.6 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

8.8Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

8.9Waivers; Amendment.

(a)The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Administrative Agent hereunder (herein, the “Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. No delay or omission by the Administrative Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Administrative Agent of any Event of Default or of any Default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or other Default hereunder or under any other agreement. No single or partial exercise of any of the Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature

entered into between the Administrative Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies. No waiver by the Administrative Agent of any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. Subject to the right of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders to direct the exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Administrative Agent may determine. The Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Obligations. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Administrative Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

8.10WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY); AND WAIVES DUE DILIGENCE, DEMAND, PRESENTMENT AND PROTEST AND ANY NOTICES THEREOF AS WELL AS NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.9.

8.11Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.12Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this

Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

8.13Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

8.14Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. The Grantors agree that any suit for the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or any federal court sitting therein as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. The Grantors hereby waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against a Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. The Grantors agree that any action commenced by any Grantor asserting any claim or counterclaim arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be brought solely in a court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or any federal court sitting therein as the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such action. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.1. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

8.15Joinder to Security Agreement. As contemplated in the Credit Agreement, additional Subsidiaries may from time to time become parties hereto and additional Grantors hereunder by execution and delivery of a Joinder to Security Agreement. Such Joinder to Security Agreement shall be effective upon delivery by such additional Grantor, without further action or consent or notice to any party hereto. Upon delivery of such Joinder to Security Agreement, all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be joint and several with the obligations of each other Grantor hereunder.

8.16Joinder to Credit Agreement. Each Grantor hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of Articles III, V and VI of the Credit Agreement as a “"Loan Party”" thereunder.

8.17Termination; Release of Collateral.

(a)Any Lien upon any Collateral will be released (i) automatically, if the Collateral constitutes property being sold, transferred or disposed of in a Permitted Disposition upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by the Credit Agreement; or (ii) upon request of the Lead Borrower, constituting DDA or Blocked Accounts closed by the Loan Parties pursuant to Section 2.18(f) of the Credit Agreement subject to compliance by the Loan Parties with all of the terms and conditions of Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement.

(b)Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written request by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens upon any Collateral described in Section 8.17(a); provided, however, that (i) the

Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in its reasonable opinion, would, under Applicable Law, expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any adverse consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by any Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(c)Except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination thereof, this Agreement and the Security Interest granted herein shall terminate when (i) the Commitments have expired or been terminated, (ii) the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other Obligations (which for purposes of this clause shall include the Other Liabilities only if the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have been accelerated and Liquidation has commenced and then only to the extent then due and payable) (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) shall have been paid in full, (iii) all Letters of Credit shall have expired or terminated (or been cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks) and (iv) all Letter of Credit Outstandings have been reduced to zero (or cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks), at which time the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors’ expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents that the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, and the Security Interest granted herein shall be reinstated if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, Grantor or other Loan Party. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 8.17 shall be without recourse to, or warranty by, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

8.18Supremacy of Credit Agreement and Security Agreement. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in any Mortgage (including for the purposes of this Section 8.18 any Hypotec of Immovable Property only to the extent that the provisions therein relate to Real Estate or immovable property) to the contrary, in the event that there is a conflict between the terms of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in the Mortgage and an express representation, warranty or covenant contained in the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement shall control to the end that the (A) failure of any Loan Party to comply with the covenants contained in any Mortgage or (B) the inaccuracy of any representations or warranties of any Loan Party contained in any Mortgage, shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default unless it would constitute an Event of Default under the similar provision of the Credit Agreement or Security Agreement, as applicable. Nothing contained in this Section 8.18 shall (i) limit or restrict the ability of the Agents to establish any Reserve relating to any Real Property, (ii) modify or qualify the definition of Eligible Real Estate or (iii) limit or restrict the ability of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, to exercise the rights and remedies available to them under and with respect to any Mortgage upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

8.19 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and Security Interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any

right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
