the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the applicable Administrative Agent, to an account of such Administrative Agent as such Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the applicable Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with such Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall (so long as no Event of Default pursuant to clause (h) or (i) of Article VII shall have occurred and be continuing) constitute Revolving Loans (and shall no longer constitute Swingline Loans). If any such amount referred to in this clause (c) is not transferred to the applicable Administrative Agent by any applicable Lender on such Settlement Date, the applicable Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07.

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any US Borrower, and the Canadian Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in each case, in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers or the Borrower Representative to, or entered into by the Borrowers or the Borrower Representative with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower as applicable, shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the applicable Administrative Agent (prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time, at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower Representative or, if applicable, the Canadian Borrower, shall also submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the US LC Exposure shall not exceed the US LC Sublimit, (ii) the Canadian LC Exposure shall not exceed the Canadian LC Sublimit, and (iii) the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the applicable Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that (x) in the case of any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of a US Borrower, the Borrower Representative may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or US Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the US Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or US Swingline Loan and (y) in the case of any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with a Canadian Revolving Loan or a Canadian Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and to the extent so financed, the Canadian Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Canadian Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the applicable Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the applicable Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the applicable Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, such Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans, a US Swingline Loan, or a Canadian Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the US Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, 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 Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank 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 Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the Canadian Borrower have any payment obligation with respect to an LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a US Borrower.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (or, if applicable, the Canadian Borrower) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of a US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, then, unless the US Borrowers or, as applicable, the Canadian Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.06(h), if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.06(e), then Section 2.13(d) shall apply.

Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant Section 2.06(e), to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Canadian Borrower, the Administrative Agents, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The US Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization.

(i) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the US Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the US Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the US Administrative Agent, in the name of the US Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “US LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the US LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the US Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The US Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the US LC Collateral Account and the US Borrowers hereby grant the US Administrative Agent a security interest in the US LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the US Administrative Agent and at the US 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 account shall be applied by the US Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements 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 US Borrowers for the US LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the US Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the US Borrowers within three Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived.

(ii) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Canadian Borrower receives notice from the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Canadian Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Canadian Administrative Agent, in the name of the Canadian Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “Canadian LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Canadian LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Canadian Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Canadian Secured Obligations. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Canadian LC Collateral Account and the Canadian Borrower hereby grants the Canadian Administrative Agent a security interest in the Canadian LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Canadian Administrative Agent and at the Canadian Borrower’s 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 account shall be applied by the Canadian Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Canadian LC Disbursements 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 Canadian Borrower for the Canadian LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Canadian Secured Obligations. If the Canadian Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Canadian Borrower within three Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived.

(k) On the Effective Date, (i) each Existing Letter of Credit, to the extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto deemed converted into a Letter of Credit under this Agreement (as reflected on Schedule 2.06) pursuant to this Section 2.06 and subject to the provisions hereof as if each such Existing Letter of Credit had been issued on the Effective Date, (ii) each such Existing Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of LC Exposure, and (iii) all liabilities of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations.

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan (other than a Protective Advance for which the provisions of Section 2.04 shall apply) to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that, Term Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.01(c), 2.01(d) and 2.02(b) and Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. Each Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the US Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s); provided that ABR Revolving Loans made

to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the US Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and disbursed in such Administrative Agent’s discretion.

(b) Unless an Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to such Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agents may assume that each Lender has made its share of such Borrowing available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the US Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, severally agree to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the US Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, to but excluding the date of payment to the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of any Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the US Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of Revolving Loans of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or .pdf transmission to the US Administrative Agent, as applicable, of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the US Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

	(i)		whether such Interest Election Request applies to the US Borrowers or to the Canadian Borrower;

	(ii)		the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions

			thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

	(iii)		the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

	(iv)		whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

	(v)		if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the US Borrowers, or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the US Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Effective Date and (ii) all other Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date.

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, (A) the furnishing to the US Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the US Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the US Administrative Agent) equal to 103% of the US LC Exposure as of such date and (B) the furnishing to the Canadian Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Canadian Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Canadian Administrative Agent) equal to 103% of the Canadian LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(c) The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments or the Canadian Sublimit; provided that (i) each such reduction of the Revolving Commitments or the Canadian Sublimit shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000, (ii) each such reduction of

Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 (unless the US Administrative Agent otherwise agrees), and (iii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations.

(d) The Borrower Representative shall notify (x) the US Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments and (y) the Canadian Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of any election to terminate or reduce the Canadian Sublimit, in each case, under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agents on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.

(e) Upon the termination in full of the Canadian Sublimit and the satisfaction in full of the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower (other than Obligations in respect of contingent liabilities) (x) the Canadian Borrower will be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, all reporting obligations contained in section 5.01 relating to the Canadian Borrowing Base) in its capacity as such, other than in respect of obligations which expressly survive the term of this Agreement and (y) all Collateral and any Loan Guaranties of the Canadian Borrower or any other Canadian Loan Party will be released. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Canadian Sublimit without a corresponding termination of the Commitments shall have no effect on the availability to the US Borrowers of all or any portion of the Revolving Commitments.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The US Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Termination Date, (ii) to the US Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each US Protective Advance on the earlier of the Termination Date and demand by the US Administrative Agent, and (iii) to the Canadian Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Canadian Protective Advance on the earlier of the Termination Date and demand by the Canadian Administrative Agent. The Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent (x) the then unpaid amount of each Canadian Revolving Loan on the Termination Date and (y) the then unpaid amount of each Canadian Protective Advance on the earlier of the Termination Date and demand by the Canadian Administrative Agent.

(g) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agents to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the US Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Revolving Borrowing or the Term Loans, in each case, in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (h) of this Section. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans, shall be allocated between the Eighteen Month Term Loans and Twenty-Six Month Term Loans as specified by the Borrower Representative and shall be applied on a pro rata basis against remaining installments of the Class of Term Loans specified.

(b) Except for Temporary Overadvance Loans permitted under Section 2.01(b) and Protective Advances permitted under Section 2.04, in the event and on such occasion that the Borrowers are not in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations, the Borrowers shall promptly prepay (or in the case of LC Exposure, cash collateralize) the Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount necessary such that, on a pro forma basis following such prepayments or cash collateralization, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, at the expiration of the Temporary Overadvance Period, the US Borrowers shall prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of the Temporary Overadvance Loans, together with interest thereon.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(f), in the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Loan Party prior to the payment in full of the Term Loan Obligations in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event” (to the extent that such Net Proceeds arise from casualties or losses to Equipment, Fixtures and real property) or in clauses (c) or (d) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by any Loan Party, apply 100% of such Net Proceeds, first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata, second, to prepay any Temporary Overadvance Loans that may be outstanding, pro rata, third, to prepay the Eighteen Month Term Loans and the Twenty-Six Month Term Loans on a pro rata basis (to be applied, in each case, to remaining installments in inverse order of maturity) and fourth, at all times during any Full Cash Dominion Period, to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) without a

corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure. In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Loan Party (x) prior to the payment in full of the Term Loan Obligations, in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event” (to the extent that such Net Proceeds arise from casualties or losses to Inventory) and (y) from and after the date on which all Term Loan Obligations shall have been paid in full, in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, in each case, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by any Loan Party, the Borrowers shall apply 100% of such Net Proceeds, first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second, at all times during any Full Cash Dominion Period, to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure. If the precise amount of insurance or condemnation proceeds allocable to Inventory as compared to Equipment, Fixtures and real property is not otherwise determined, the allocation and application of those proceeds shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts that would be required to be applied under this Section 2.11(c) to prepay the Revolving Loans during a Full Cash Dominion Period shall not be required to be so applied if a Full Cash Dominion Period is not in effect, and instead, the Borrowers shall be permitted to deposit such amounts into their general operating accounts and/or to utilize such amounts for corporate purposes not inconsistent with this Agreement.

(d) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event” at any time prior to the payment in full of the Term Loan Obligations, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by any Loan Party, apply 100% of such Net Proceeds, first, to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata second, to prepay any Temporary Overadvance Loans that may be outstanding (with a corresponding permanent reduction in the maximum aggregate amount of Temporary Overadvance Loans permitted to be outstanding at any time), pro rata, third, to prepay installments of the Twenty-Six Month Term Loans in inverse order of maturity until payment in full of the Twenty-Six Month Term Loans, fourth, to prepay installments of the Eighteen Month Term Loans in inverse order of maturity until payment in full of the Eighteen Month Term Loans, and fifth, during any Full Cash Dominion Period, to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts that would be required under this Section 2.11(d) to be applied to prepay the Revolving Loans during a Full Cash Dominion Period shall not be required to be so applied if a Full Cash Dominion Period is not in effect, and instead, the Borrowers shall be permitted to deposit such amounts into their general operating accounts and/or to utilize such amounts for corporate purposes not inconsistent with this Agreement.

(e) Until the Term Loan Obligations have been paid in full, the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans as set forth in this paragraph (e) on the date that is seven (7) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which Company’s annual audited financial statements for the immediately preceding fiscal year are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 or (ii) the date on which such annual audited financial statements were required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01, in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding fiscal year. Each Excess Cash Flow prepayment shall be applied first, to prepay installments of the Eighteen Month Term Loans in inverse order of maturity, until payment in full of the Eighteen Month Term Loans and second, to prepay installments of the Twenty-Six Month Term Loans in inverse order of maturity. Each Excess Cash Flow prepayment shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by a Financial Officer certifying the manner in which Excess Cash Flow and the resulting prepayment were calculated, which certificate shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the US Administrative Agent.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.11, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers may elect to apply any Net Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event” that would be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c), within 270 days of receipt thereof to acquire (or replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (other than inventory) to be used in the business of the Loan Parties, in lieu of applying such amounts to prepay Term Loans. In the case of any election pursuant to this Section 2.11(f), the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the US Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Loan Parties intend to apply such Net Proceeds to acquire (or replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (other than inventory) to be used in the business of the Loan Parties, indicating the amount of Net Proceeds to be so applied and certifying that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt of the Net Proceeds to be applied in accordance with this Section 2.11(f), the applicable Loan Party shall deposit such Net Proceeds in a cash collateral account with the US Administrative Agent and, thereafter, such funds shall be available to the applicable Loan Party for application in accordance with this Section 2.11(f) at such Loan Party’s request, so long as, as of the date of such request, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided that to the extent any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied within 270 days after the applicable Loan Party’s receipt thereof, the Borrowers shall be required to apply such remaining proceeds to prepay Loans in accordance with Section 2.11(c) or 2.11(d)(iv), as applicable.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Loan Parties be required to prepay Loans with Net Proceeds of (i) any sale, transfer or disposition of any property or asset of a Foreign Subsidiary or (ii) any casualty or other insured damage to, or taking under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding of any property or asset of a Foreign Subsidiary.

(h) The Borrower Representative shall notify the US Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any estimated prepayment amount hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the estimated principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the applicable Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.12. Fees.

(a) The US Borrowers agree to pay to the US Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the

first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) (i) The US Borrowers agree to pay to the US Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to such Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the US Borrowers and (ii) the Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to such Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit issued to the Canadian Borrower, which, in each case, shall accrue at the same Applicable Spread used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s applicable LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any such LC Exposure. In addition, (i) the US Borrowers agree to pay to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the US LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) and (ii) the Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the Canadian LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), in each case, during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar month shall be payable on the first Business Day of each calendar month following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agents, for their own accounts, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agents.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the US Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13. Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each US Swingline Loan, each Canadian Swingline Loan and each Temporary Overadvance Loan but excluding US Protective Advances and Canadian Protective Advances) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Spread.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Spread.

(c) Each US Protective Advance and each Canadian Protective Advance shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Spread for Revolving Loans plus 2%.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the US Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at its or their option, by notice to the Borrower Representative (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided herein.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan (for ABR Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar month) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) subject to Section 2.18(e), in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the US Administrative Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

(h) All interest hereunder shall be paid in the currency in which the Loan giving rise to such interest is denominated.

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the US Administrative Agent 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 LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the US Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the US Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the US Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such

notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

	(i)		impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

	(ii)		impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. This Section 2.15(a) shall not apply to any Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.17.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the 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 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the US Borrowers, or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The US Borrowers, or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes.

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

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

(c) The (i) US Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the US Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the US Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the US Borrowers hereunder, and (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall indemnify the Canadian Administrative Agent and each Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Canadian Borrower hereunder (including, in each case, Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and, in each case, any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the

amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by either Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank shall indemnify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agents, within 10 days after written demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrowers or the Administrative Agents) incurred by or asserted against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agents by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agents pursuant to Section 2.17(f). Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agents to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agents under this Section 2.17(d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the applicable 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 applicable Administrative Agent.

(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the US Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Representative or the US Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the US Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the US Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(i)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of any US Borrower, any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the US Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower Representative or the US Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

	(A)		duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

	(B)		duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

	(C)		in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the US Administrative

Agent and the Borrower Representative to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (D) the interest payment in question are not effectively connected with the United States trade or business conducted by such Lender (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,

	(D)		to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such beneficial owner, or

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

	(ii)		Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered by it expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the US Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

	(iii)		Each Administrative Agent shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, provide the Borrower Representative with, (i) with respect to any amount received on behalf of a Lender with respect to a US Borrower, one completed original of IRS Form W-9 or W-8IMY, as applicable, (ii) with respect to any fee received by such Administrative Agent hereunder from a US Person, one completed original of IRS Form W-9 or applicable W-8 and (iii) any other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative as will permit any payment to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Thereafter and from time to time, each Administrative Agent shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, provide the Borrower Representative such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms (or such successor forms) or documentations on or prior to the date on which any such form or documentation expires or becomes obsolete or incorrect.

(g) If either Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers or any other Loan Party have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers or such other Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers

or such other Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers or such other Loan Party, upon the request of such Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers or such other Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event such Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require either Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. All payments made in respect of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by such Lenders. Any amounts received after 3:00 p.m. Local Time on any date may, in the discretion of the applicable 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 (i) with respect to payments of US Revolving Loans and Term Loans, to the US Administrative Agent at its offices at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (ii) with respect to payments of Canadian Revolving Loans, to the Canadian Administrative Agent at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank Plaza, Floor 18, Toronto, M57 2J2 Canada, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or to a Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Each of the US Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder 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, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by any Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account during a Full Cash Dominion Period (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(d)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the US Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to any Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of the Protective Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances) and unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably (with amounts applied to the Eighteen Month Term Loans and the Twenty-Six Month Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in each case, against remaining installments in inverse order of maturity), seventh, to pay an amount to the US

Administrative Agent equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations, and ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to any Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless an Event of Default is continuing, neither the US Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, (subject to the terms of Section 2.18(e)) the US Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. Each of the US Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such payment from the Canadian Borrower and any such application of proceeds from Collateral of the Canadian Loan Parties shall be made solely in respect of Obligations of the Canadian Loan Parties.

(c) At the election of the US Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings of US Revolving Loans hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any US Borrower maintained with the US Administrative Agent. The US Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the US Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable. At the election of the Canadian Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03) for which the Canadian Borrower is obligated, and other sums payable in respect of Obligations of the Canadian Borrower under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings of Canadian Revolving Loans hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of the Canadian Borrower maintained with the Canadian Administrative Agent. The Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Canadian Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees in respect of Canadian Revolving Loans as such payment becomes due hereunder or any other amount due from the Canadian Borrower under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Canadian Revolving Loans (including Canadian Swingline Loans, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Canadian Protective Advance for purposes of this Section 2.18(c), if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable. The US Borrowers authorize the US Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any US Borrower maintained with the US Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents. The Canadian Borrower authorize the Canadian Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of the Canadian Borrower maintained with the Canadian Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees in respect of Canadian Revolving Loans as such payment becomes due hereunder or any other amount due from the Canadian Borrower under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such payment from the

Canadian Borrower and any such application of proceeds from Collateral of the Canadian Loan Parties shall be made solely in respect of Obligations of the Canadian Loan Parties.

(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any assignment of or sale of a participation in any Loans to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof in accordance with Section 9.04(b)(ii)(G)). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time that the US Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, are required to make a payment or prepayment hereunder, the US Borrowers, or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, would incur breakage costs under Section 2.16 as a result of any Eurodollar Loan being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (each such Eurodollar Loan, an “Affected Eurodollar Loan”), and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing at such time, then the US Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, may, in their discretion, initially deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amount that otherwise would have been paid in respect of any Affected Eurodollar Loan with the applicable Administrative Agent, (which deposit must be equal in amount to the aggregate amount of the Affected Eurodollar Loans not immediately prepaid plus accrued interest to the date of such deposit (the amount of such deposit, the “Cash Collateral Amount”)) to be held as security for the Obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent. On the last day of the Interest Period in which the Cash Collateral Amount is deposited in accordance with this Section 2.18(e) in respect of the applicable Affected Eurodollar Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the US Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable), the Cash Collateral Amount shall be applied to repay an aggregate principal amount of such Loans equal to the Affected Eurodollar Loans not initially prepaid pursuant to this sentence, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of such deposit (it being understood, for avoidance of doubt, that the US Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall also be required to pay on the date of such application interest which has accrued on each such Affected Eurodollar Loan from the date of such deposit to the date of such application in accordance with Section 2.13(e)(ii)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.18(e), all Cash Collateral Amounts deposited in accordance with this Section 2.18(e) shall be held for the sole benefit of the Lenders whose Loans would otherwise have been immediately prepaid with the amounts deposited and may be applied to the prepayment of such Loans immediately if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(f) Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to such Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the applicable Borrower(s) will not make such payment, the applicable Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower(s) have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, 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 Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative 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 US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the US Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(g) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, 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 2.17, 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 judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (and the Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment).

(b) The Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, require such Lender or any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender (herein, a “Departing Lender”), upon notice to the Departing Lender and the US Administrative Agent, 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 that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the US Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) the Departing Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements 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) (except, in the case of Defaulting Lenders, as otherwise provided in Section 2.21) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Departing 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. In the case of any Defaulting Lender, such assignment shall be deemed consummated

upon payment of any relevant amounts described in clause (ii) above without any requirement that such Defaulting Lender execute and deliver any documentation.

SECTION 2.20. Returned Payments. If, after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the US Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the US Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the US Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Specified Defaulting Lender then: (i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Specified Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (determined for this purpose without including the Revolving Commitment of the Specified Defaulting Lender) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Specified Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus, without duplication, such Specified Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure, does not exceed the total of all non-Specified Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 2.01 are satisfied at such time; (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the applicable Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; (iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Specified Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.21(c), no Borrower shall be required to pay any fees to such Specified Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Specified Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Specified Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; or (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Specified Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Specified Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and (v) the US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reallocation described in this Section 2.21(c);

(d) so long as any Lender is a Specified Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend the expiry date of or increase the amount of any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.23(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.23(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(d)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the US Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the US Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the US Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or any other Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, 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 applicable Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the US Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement, and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

(f) In the event that the US Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower(s), the Issuing Bank and the applicable Swingline Lender(s) each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the US Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

SECTION 2.22. Expansion Option. The Borrowers may from time to time elect to request that the Aggregate Revolving Commitments be increased in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the US Administrative Agent) so long as, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Commitments does not exceed $158,000,000. The US Administrative Agent may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities acceptable to the US Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Revolving Commitments, or extend new Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing

Lender, the Borrowers, the US Administrative Agent and such Increasing Lender shall execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrowers, the US Administrative Agent and such Augmenting Lender shall execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto, (iii) any Lender approached to so increase its Revolving Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide any such increase and (iv) each Increasing Lender and each Augmenting Lender, as applicable, shall also be obligated to acquire a portion of each other Lender’s outstanding Term Loans such that, after giving effect to all increases in Revolving Commitments and new Revolving Commitments, each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments is equivalent to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each Class of Term Loans then outstanding. Increases in Revolving Commitments and new Revolving Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrowers, the US Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders. The US Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and each Lender of the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (or in the Revolving Commitment of any Lender), shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the US Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers, (ii) the US Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase and (iii) the US Administrative Agent shall have received a written opinion addressed to the US Administrative Agent and the Lenders and dated the effective date of such increase of counsel to the Loan Parties in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the US Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion. On the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the US Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the US Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each Class of outstanding Loans is equivalent to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrowers in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.16 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.

(b) Any bank serving as the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder.

(c) Neither the US Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the US Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither the US Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or

percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither the US Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither the US Administrative Agent, nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the US Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and neither the US Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) set forth or in connection with any Loan Document, (v) the legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, adequacy or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vii) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent.

(d) The US Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall each be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, (i) any representation, notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing or communication believed by it to be genuine, correct and to have been authorized, signed or sent by the proper Person, (ii) any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made or authorized by the proper Person or (iii) any statement made by a director, authorized signatory or employee of any Person regarding any matters which may reasonably be assumed to be within his or her knowledge or within his or her power to verify. The US Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(e) The US Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be. The US Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the US Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the US Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(f) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor US Administrative Agent, or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as provided in this paragraph, the US Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall

have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor (which shall, in the case of the Canadian Administrative Agent only, be an Affiliate of the US Administrative Agent acting through a branch or an office in Canada). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint its successor in such capacity, which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank or a Lender (and in the case of the Canadian Administrative Agent only, be an Affiliate of the US Administrative Agent acting through an office in Canada). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, obligations and duties of the retiring US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, and the retiring US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and any further obligations hereunder. The retiring US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent any documents and records and provide any assistance which the successor US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the US Administrative Agent’s or Canadian Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as US Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent.

(g) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the US Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the US Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(h) Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has been provided access to each Report prepared by or on behalf of the US Administrative Agent; (b) neither the US Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent (i) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that neither the US Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent undertakes any obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and it will not share the Report with any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 9.12 of this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the US Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct

or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender (except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.12 of this Agreement).

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

(j) None of the Syndication Agent, the Joint Bookrunners or the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Administrative Agent, a Lender, a Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender 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. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agents and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) extend any of the Eighteen Month Term Loan Maturity Date, Twenty-Six Month Term Loan Maturity Date or Revolving Maturity Date, postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, or postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement without the written consent of each Lender, (iv) postpone any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations (other than the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement) payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

101

(v) change Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) increase the advance rates set forth in the definitions of Canadian Borrowing Base or US Borrowing Base, or the Aggregate Borrowing Base without consent of each Lender, (vii) add new categories of or materially broaden the criteria for inclusion of eligible assets, without the written consent of the Supermajority Revolving Lenders, (viii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Revolving Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (ix) release any Borrower from its Obligations hereunder or all or substantially all of the Loan Guarantors from their obligation under the Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents) or limit the liability of all or substantially all of the Loan Guarantors under the Loan Guaranty, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender, or (x) except as provided in clauses (c) of this Section, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the applicable Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. The US Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to such Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner reasonably satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to such Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agents may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of a Subsidiary, the applicable Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty provided by such Subsidiary, (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII, (v) in accordance with Section 2.09(e) or (vi) to otherwise facilitate a transaction expressly permitted by this Agreement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agents will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, the Administrative Agents may in their discretion, release their Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $5,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. Any 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 the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” or similar requirements, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the US Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an

102

Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agents, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its or their rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout or restructuring in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; provided, that, for purposes of this clause (iii), the Lenders (but not the Administrative Agents and Issuing Bank) shall be limited to one counsel together for the Lenders as a group so long as any Lender has not, in good faith (and based on advice of counsel for such Lender) reasonably determined that its interests conflict sufficiently with those of the other Lenders to warrant the employment of separate counsel for such Lender, in which case such Lender shall be paid, or reimbursed for payment of the fees, charges and disbursements of such separate counsel. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

	(A)		Appraisals (subject to the limits set forth in Section 5.11(a));

	(B)		insurance reviews;

	(C)		field examinations (subject to the limits set forth in Section 5.11(b)) and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the applicable Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by applicable Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination;

	(D)		taxes, fees and other charges for (1) lien and title searches and title insurance and (2) recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Liens of each Administrative Agent;

103

	(E)		sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take;

	(F)		forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral; and

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c).

(b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agents, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, incremental taxes, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the 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 owned or operated by any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, (iv) the failure of the Borrowers to deliver to the Administrative Agents the required receipts or other required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by the Borrowers for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties.

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by the Borrowers to any Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Bookrunner, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Bookrunner, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Bookrunner, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

104

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 the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

	(A)		the Borrower Representative, provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

	(B)		the US Administrative Agent.

(ii)

Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

	(A)		except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the US Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate unless each of the Borrower Representative and the US Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

	(B)		each partial assignment of an assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of (1) such Lender’s share of the Canadian Sublimit, (2) such Lender’s share of the LC Exposure, (3) such Lender’s Eighteen Month Term Loan, (4) such Lender’s Twenty-Six Month Term Loan and (5) all such Lender’s other rights and obligations under this Agreement;

	(C)		each partial assignment of an assigning Lender’s Eighteen Month Term Loan shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of (1) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans, (2)

105

			such Lender’s share of the Canadian Sublimit, (3) such Lender’s share of the LC Exposure, (4) such Lender’s Twenty-Six Month Term Loan and (5) all such Lender’s other rights and obligations under this Agreement;

	(E)		the assignor and assignee party to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the US Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

	(F)		the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the US Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and

	(G)		no Lender shall be permitted to assign any Loans to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof with the prior written consent of the US Administration Agent and the Required Lenders (which consent may include such additional conditions as the US Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall deem necessary or appropriate in their Permitted Discretion).

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 Sections 2.15, 2.16,

106

2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 paragraph (c) of this Section.

	(iv) The US Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders 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 Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

	(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the US Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the US Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)

(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided 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 first proviso to Section 9.02(b) (other than clause (vii) thereof) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as

107

		though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d) as though it were a Lender.
		(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 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 Borrower Representative’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

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, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the US Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all 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 US Administrative Agent and when the US Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, 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 facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document 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

108

remaining provisions thereof; 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 Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its 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) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured, provided that, no such Lender shall exercise any right of set off prior to the date on which the Loans are declared to be immediately due and payable, without the prior consent of the US Administrative Agent. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the US Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto 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 or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(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.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER 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

109

OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 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 WAIVER 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.

SECTION 9.11. 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 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its 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 instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Requirement of Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (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, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower Representative or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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 AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND ITS 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 BORROWERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS

110

PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS 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 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of Law.

SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.15. Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agents and/or their Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 9.16. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agents) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon such Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to such Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with such Administrative Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 9.17. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such 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 Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other 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 to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

111

SECTION 9.18. Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any Loan Party has, or hereafter may be entitled to claim or may acquire, for itself, any Collateral or other assets of the Loan Parties, any immunity (whether sovereign or otherwise) from suit, jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to itself, any Collateral or any other assets of the Loan Parties, such Loan Party hereby waives such immunity in respect of its hereunder and under any promissory notes evidencing the Loans hereunder and any other Loan Document to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 9.18 shall be effective to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (as amended, and together with any successor legislation) and are, and are intended to be, irrevocable for purposes thereof.

SECTION 9.19. Currency of Payment. Each payment owing by any Borrower hereunder shall be made in the relevant currency specified herein or, if not specified herein, specified in any other Loan Document executed by the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (the “Currency of Payment”) at the place specified herein (such requirements are of the essence of this Agreement). If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a Currency of Payment into another currency, the parties hereto agree that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the US Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, could purchase such Currency of Payment with such other currency at the Spot Selling Rate on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations in respect of any sum due hereunder to any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall, notwithstanding any adjudication expressed in a currency other than the Currency of Payment, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Issuing Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Issuing Bank may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Currency of Payment with such other currency. Each Borrower agrees that (a) if the amount of the Currency of Payment so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the Currency of Payment, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the result of any such adjudication, such Borrower shall immediately pay the shortfall (in the Currency of Payment) to such Lender or the Issuing Bank and (b) if the amount of the Currency of Payment so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly pay the excess over to such Borrower in the currency and to the extent actually received.

SECTION 9.20. Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable Canadian anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agents may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrowers and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Borrowers, and the transactions contemplated hereby and in that regard, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may require that the authorized signing officers of each of the relevant Loan Parties who will be signing this Agreement, and other Loan Documents (each, a “signatory”) shall have made themselves available to the Canadian Administrative Agent in person, and shall have produced to the Canadian Administrative Agent a minimum of two unexpired identification documents (at least one of which must be a birth certificate, driver’s license, passport, provincial health insurance card, if permitted by the applicable provincial law, or other government-issued document) and permitted examination and the making of copies of same with a view to the Canadian Administrative Agent gathering the full names of, and the dates of birth of each such signatory, the type of identification

112

document examined, the reference numbers of each of the identification documents examined (collectively, the “Personal Information”) and such Personal Information (together with photocopies of each identification document examined) shall have been provided to the Canadian Administrative Agent on or prior to the closing date. Each Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Administrative Agent, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

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

	(i)		Shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender and the Issuing Bank (and to hold on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank for their review upon reasonable request from time to time), and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Canadian Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

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

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

SECTION 9.21. Subordination. Each Loan Party party hereto hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent, all Indebtedness owing to it by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of such Loan Party’s Secured Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations, as the case may be.

SECTION 9.22. Process Agent. Each Foreign Loan Party hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company, in the case of any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering a copy of such process to such Foreign Loan Party in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in Section 9.01, and such Foreign Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Company to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, each Foreign Loan Party irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to the Company or such Foreign Loan Party at its address specified in Section 9.01. Each Loan Party 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.

113

ARTICLE X

Loan Guaranty

SECTION 10.01. Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agents and the Issuing Bank in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.02. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to ▇▇▇ any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03. No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv)

114

any action or failure to act by any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any other person. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agents may, at their election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders.

SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.

SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

115

SECTION 10.08. Termination. The Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of that Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.09. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”. This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

SECTION 10.10. Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

116

SECTION 10.11. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

ARTICLE XI

The Borrower Representative

SECTION 11.01. Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The Company is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XI. Additionally, the Borrowers hereby appoint the Borrower Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans in the Funding Account(s), at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the appropriate Borrower. The Administrative Agents and the Lenders, and their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall not be liable to the Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.01.

SECTION 11.02. Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative.

SECTION 11.03. Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through authorized officers.

SECTION 11.04. Notices. Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by the Borrower Representative.

SECTION 11.05. Successor Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of the US Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative. The US Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to the Lenders.

SECTION 11.06. Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowers hereby empower and authorize the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agents and the Lenders the Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Aggregate Borrowing Base Certificate, the Canadian Borrowing Base Certificate and the US Borrowing Base Certificate and the Compliance Certificates. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the

117

exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers.

118
