WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Credit Parties signatory thereto, the lenders signatory thereto (the “Existing Lenders”) and General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent for the Existing Lenders (the “Existing Agent”), are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 24, 2010 (as amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Existing Lenders extended to US Borrower a revolving credit facility;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Collateral Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), (i) Holdings, which directly owns all of the Stock of the US Borrower, and the Domestic Subsidiaries of the US Borrower, have guarantied all of the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), and (ii) the Credit Parties have granted to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and the Existing Lenders, a security interest in, and lien upon, substantially all of their personal and real property as security for the Obligations, including all of the Stock of the US Borrower and the Domestic Subsidiaries of the US Borrower and sixty-six percent (66%) of the Stock of the Foreign Subsidiaries of the US Borrower;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement to, among other things, (i) amend and restate in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement, without constituting a novation of the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of the US Borrower or any other Credit Party thereunder or evidence a payment of all or any of such obligations, liabilities and indebtedness and (ii) continue to provide working capital financing, funds for other general corporate purposes and funds for other purposes permitted hereunder;

WHEREAS, the Canadian Borrower has agreed to secure all of its obligations under the Loan Documents by granting to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Canadian Revolving Lenders, a security interest in, hypothec in, and Lien upon, all of its existing and after-acquired personal and real property and real, movable and immovable property, including all Stock of the Subsidiaries of the Canadian Borrower; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the US Borrower, Canadian Borrower, the other Credit Parties, Lenders and Agent hereby amend and restate as of the Closing Date the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety as follows:

ARTICLE I.

THE CREDITS

1.1 Amounts and Terms of Revolving Loan Commitment and Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment.

(a) The US Revolving Credit.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each US Revolving Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make loans (the “US Revolving Credit Facility”) to the US Borrower (each such loan, a “US Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the Final Availability Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such US Revolving Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1 under the heading “Revolving Loan Commitments” (such amount as the same may be reduced or increased from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, being referred to herein as such US Revolving Lender’s “Revolving Loan Commitment”); provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of US Revolving Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding US Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1(a) may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time. The “Maximum Revolving Loan Balance” from time to time will be the lesser of:

(y) the US Borrowing Base (as calculated pursuant to the Borrowing Base Certificate) in effect from time to time, less the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations, plus (B) outstanding Swing Line Loans, or

(z) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect, less the sum of (A) those Reserves imposed by Agent in its Permitted Discretion, plus (B) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations, plus (C) outstanding Swing Loans, plus (D) outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans.

(ii) Subject to subsection 1.10(c) and the last two sentences of subsection 1.8(c)(i), at any time the then outstanding principal balance of US Revolving Loans exceeds the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance, then the US Borrower shall immediately prepay outstanding Swing Loans, then prepay outstanding US Revolving Loans and then cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess in accordance herewith and in a manner satisfactory to the L/C Issuers.

(iii) If the US Borrower requests that US Revolving Lenders make, or permit to remain outstanding US Revolving Loans in excess of the US Borrowing Base (any such excess US Revolving Loan is herein referred to as an “US Overadvance”), Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to make, or permit to remain outstanding such US Overadvance; provided, however, that Agent may not cause US Revolving Lenders to make, or permit to remain outstanding, (A) aggregate US Revolving Loans in excess of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment less the sum of (x) outstanding Swing Loans plus (y) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations plus (z) outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans or (B) an US Overadvance in an aggregate amount in excess of 10% of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. If an US Overadvance is made, or permitted to remain outstanding, pursuant to the preceding sentence, then all US Revolving Lenders shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such US Overadvance based upon their US Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether the conditions to lending set forth in Section 2.2 have been met. Furthermore, Required Lenders may prospectively revoke Agent’s ability to make or permit US Overadvances by written notice to Agent. All US Overadvances shall constitute Base Rate Loans and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for US Revolving Loans and the default rate under subsection 1.3(c).

(b) Letters of Credit.

(i) Conditions. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the US Borrower may request that one or more L/C Issuers Issue, in accordance with such L/C Issuers’ usual and customary business practices and for the account of the US Borrower, Letters of Credit (denominated in US Dollars) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier of (x) the Final Availability Date and (y) seven (7) days prior to the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that no L/C Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following or, if after giving effect to such Issuance:

(A) (i) Availability would be less than zero or (ii) the Letter of Credit Obligations for all Letters of Credit would exceed $2,000,000 (the “L/C Sublimit”);

(B) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (i) is not a Business Day, (ii) is more than one year after the date of Issuance thereof or (iii) is later than seven (7) days prior to the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding one year may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one year as long as (x) each of the US Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and (y) neither such L/C Issuer nor the US Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (iii) above; or

(C) (i) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has not been paid, (ii) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (iii) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by the US Borrower, the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the Ordinary Course of Business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”).

Furthermore, (i) nothing herein shall be construed as a commitment on the part of GE Capital or any other L/C Issuer to Issue Letters of Credit, or to Issue Letters of Credit in any specific form or to any specified beneficiary and (ii) GE Capital as an L/C Issuer may elect only to Issue Letters of Credit in its own name and may only Issue Letters of Credit to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, and such Letters of Credit may not be accepted by certain beneficiaries such as insurance companies. For each Issuance, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letters of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from Agent or the Required Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Section 2.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any US Revolving Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to Issue any Letter of Credit unless (w) the Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has been replaced in accordance with Sections 9.9 or 9.22, (x) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been cash collateralized, (y) the Revolving Loan Commitments of the other US Revolving Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy Agent that all future Letter of Credit Obligations will be covered by all US Revolving Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders, or (z) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been reallocated to other US Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with subsection 1.11(e)(ii).

(ii) Notice of Issuance. The US Borrower shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance. Such notice shall be made in a writing or Electronic Transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(b) duly completed or in any other written form acceptable to such L/C Issuer (an “L/C Request”).

(iii) Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (A) (i) on or prior to any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (ii) immediately after any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (iii) immediately after any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the US Borrower of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment, and Agent shall provide copies of such notices to each US Revolving Lender reasonably promptly after receipt thereof; (B) upon the request of Agent (or any US Revolving Lender through Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by Agent; and (C) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, setting forth the Letter of Credit Obligations for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week.

(iv) Acquisition of Participations. Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement resulting in any increase in the Letter of Credit Obligations, each US Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to its US Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit Obligations.

(v) Reimbursement Obligations of the US Borrower. The US Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit, or to Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than the first Business Day after the US Borrower receives notice from such L/C Issuer or from Agent that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit or that such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (A) below. In the event that any L/C Reimbursement Obligation is not repaid by the US Borrower as provided in this clause (v) (or any such payment by the US Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, Agent shall notify each US Revolving Lender) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable by the US Borrower on demand with interest thereon computed (A) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to US Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (B) thereafter until payment in full, at the interest rate specified in subsection 1.3(c) to past due US Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans (regardless of whether or not an election is made under such subsection).

(vi) Reimbursement Obligations of the US Revolving Lenders.

(1) Upon receipt of the notice described in clause (v) above from Agent, each US Revolving Lender shall pay to Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its US Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit Obligations (as such amount may be increased pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii)).

(2) By making any payment described in clause (1) above (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under subsection 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), such US Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have made a US Revolving Loan to the US Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by the Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a US Revolving Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Obligation in respect of the related L/C Reimbursement Obligations. Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Following receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay to the Agent, for the benefit of such US Revolving Lender, all amounts received by such L/C Issuer (or to the extent such amounts shall have been received by the Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, the Agent shall promptly pay to such US Revolving Lender all amounts received by the Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer) with respect to such portion.

(vii) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the US Borrower and the US Revolving Lenders pursuant to clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of (A) (i) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any Loan Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing, (ii) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iii) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (B) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Credit Party) may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, (C) in the case of the obligations of any US Revolving Lender, (i) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 2.2 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the US Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) or (ii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party and (D) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this clause (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the US Borrower or any US Revolving Lender hereunder. No provision hereof shall be deemed to waive or limit the US Borrower’s right to seek repayment of any payment of any L/C Reimbursement Obligations from the L/C Issuer under the terms of the applicable L/C Reimbursement Agreement or applicable law.

(i) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make loans (each a “Swing Loan”) available to the US Borrower as a subfacility under the Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the Final Availability Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed its Swingline Commitment; provided, however, that the Swingline Lender may not make any Swing Loan (x) to the extent that after giving effect to such Swing Loan, the aggregate principal amount of all US Revolving Loans would exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance and (y) during the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives notice from Agent or the Required Lenders that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 2.2 are not satisfied and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. In connection with the making of any Swing Loan, the Swingline Lender may but shall not be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 have been satisfied or waived. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be repaid as provided herein, but in any event must be repaid in full on the Revolving Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (i), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (i).

(ii) Borrowing Procedures. In order to request a Swing Loan, the US Borrower shall give to Agent a notice to be received not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of the proposed Borrowing, which shall be made in a writing or in an Electronic Transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(c) or in a writing in any other form acceptable to Agent duly completed (a “Swingline Request”). In addition, if any Notice of Borrowing of US Revolving Loans requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swingline Lender may, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, make a Swing Loan to the US Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swing Loan. Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan. Upon receipt of such notice and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may make a Swing Loan available to the US Borrower by making the proceeds thereof available to Agent and, in turn, Agent shall make such proceeds available to the US Borrower on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request or Notice of Borrowing.

(iii) Refinancing Swing Loans.

(1) The Swingline Lender may at any time (and shall, no less frequently than once each week) forward a demand to Agent (which Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each US Revolving Lender) that each US Revolving Lender pay to Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such US Revolving Lender’s US Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Swing Loans (as such amount may be increased pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii)).

(2) Each US Revolving Lender shall pay the amount owing by it to Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender on the Business Day following receipt of the notice or demand therefor. Payments received by Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) may, in the Agent’s discretion, be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Upon receipt by Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under subsection 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), such US Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have made a US Revolving Loan to the US Borrower, which, upon receipt of such payment by the Swingline Lender from Agent, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Swing Loan. In addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under subsection 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), each US Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swing Loan in an amount equal to such US Revolving Lender’s US Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. If any payment made by any US Revolving Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a US Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such US Revolving Lender of such participation. Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded. Upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any payment from any US Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause (iii) with respect to any portion of any Swing Loan, the Swingline Lender shall promptly pay over to such US Revolving Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such US Revolving Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) on account of such Swing Loan received by the Swingline Lender with respect to such portion.

(iv) Obligation to Fund Absolute. Each US Revolving Lender’s obligations pursuant to clause (iii) above 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, including (A) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that such US Revolving Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against the Swingline Lender, Agent, any other Lender or L/C Issuer or any other Person, (B) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 2.2 to be satisfied or the failure of the US Borrower to deliver a Notice of Borrowing (each of which requirements the US Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party.

(d) The Canadian Revolving Credit Facility.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each Canadian Revolving Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make loans to the Canadian Borrower (each such loan, a “Canadian Revolving Loan”) as a subfacility under the Revolving Loan Commitments (the “Canadian Revolving Credit Facility”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the Final Availability Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Canadian Revolving Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1 under the heading “Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments” (such amount as the same may be reduced or increased from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, being referred to herein as such Canadian Revolving Lender’s “Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment”); provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Canadian Revolving Loans, (x) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (1) the Canadian Borrowing Base (as calculated pursuant to the Borrowing Base Certificate) or (2) the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect less those Reserves imposed by Agent in its Permitted Discretion and (y) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding US Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect less the sum of (i) those Reserves imposed by Agent in its Permitted Discretion, plus (ii) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations plus (iii) outstanding Swing Loans plus (iv) outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1(a) may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time.

(ii) Subject to subsection 1.10(d) and the last two sentences of subsection 1.8(c)(ii), at any time the then outstanding principal balance of Canadian Revolving Loans exceeds the lesser of (x) the Canadian Borrowing Base (as calculated pursuant to the Borrowing Base Certificate) or (y) the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect less those Reserves imposed by Agent in its Permitted Discretion, then the Canadian Borrower shall immediately prepay outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess in accordance herewith.

(iii) If the Canadian Borrower requests that Canadian Revolving Lenders make, or permit to remain outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans in excess of the Canadian Borrowing Base (any such excess Canadian Revolving Loan is herein referred to as an “Canadian Overadvance”), Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to make, or permit to remain outstanding such Canadian Overadvance; provided, however, that Agent may not cause Canadian Revolving Lenders to make, or permit to remain outstanding, (A) aggregate Canadian Revolving Loans in excess of the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment or (B) a Canadian Overadvance in an aggregate amount in excess of 10% of the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment. If a Canadian Overadvance is made, or permitted to remain outstanding, pursuant to the preceding sentence, then all Canadian Revolving Lenders shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Canadian Overadvance based upon their Canadian Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether the conditions to lending set forth in Section 2.2 have been met. Furthermore, Required Lenders may prospectively revoke Agent’s ability to make or permit Canadian Overadvances by written notice to Agent. All Canadian Overadvances shall constitute Base Rate Loans and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Canadian Revolving Loans and the default rate under subsection 1.3(c).

(e) Hedging Agreements-PNC. In furtherance of Section 2.3(e) of the Purchase Agreement the US Borrower, pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, has assumed and agreed to pay and perform all debts, liabilities and obligations of Old Coast Crane under the Hedging Agreements PNC (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) that arise and become due and payable after the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The US Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and each Lender to make US Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans and which may be Swing Loans) to pay any regularly scheduled payments when due (without acceleration or termination) pursuant to the Hedging Agreements-PNC (“PNC Swap Payments”) upon notice from PNC to Agent and the US Borrower. If PNC shall at any time and from time to time notify Agent that the US Borrower has failed to pay any PNC Swap Payment (which notice shall set forth the unpaid amounts and due dates thereof and the amount requested to be paid), Lenders shall, upon notice from Agent (which notice Agent shall promptly give upon receipt of such notice from PNC) promptly make a US Revolving Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan and which may be funded by a Swing Loan) to pay such PNC Swap Payment and the US Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders pay the proceeds of such US Revolving Loan or Swing Loan directly to PNC; provided that none of Agent or any Lender shall have any obligation to make any such US Revolving Loan or Swing Loan unless the conditions to lending set forth in Section 2.2 have been met. Nothing set forth in this subsection 1.1(e) shall limit or modify or be deemed to limit or modify the provisions of subsection 1.10(c) or subsection 1.1(c).

(f) Loans Under Existing Credit Agreement. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that as of the Closing Date (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement equals $60,854,971.99 and that such Revolving Loans are continued as US Revolving Loans hereunder and (ii) all Letters of Credit (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement are continued as Letters of Credit hereunder. All Revolving Loan Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement shall hereinafter be continued as Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in order to effect the continuation of the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit contemplated by the preceding sentence, the amount, if any, to be funded on the Closing Date by each US Revolving Lender hereunder in respect of its Revolving Loan Commitment shall be reduced by the principal amount of such US Revolving Lender’s respective Revolving Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement outstanding on the Closing Date.

1.2 Evidence of Loans; Notes.

(a) The US Revolving Loans made by each US Revolving Lender are evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such US Revolving Lender, a US Revolving Note payable to such US Revolving Lender in an amount equal to such US Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment.

(b) The Canadian Revolving Loans made by each Canadian Revolving Lender are evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Canadian Revolving Lender, a Canadian Revolving Note payable to such Canadian Revolving Lender in an amount equal to such Canadian Revolving Lender’s Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment.

(c) Swing Loans made by the Swingline Lender are evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, a Swingline Note in an amount equal to the Swingline Commitment.

1.3 Interest.

(a) Subject to subsections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d), each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of US Revolving Loans and Canadian Revolving Loans, the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be or (y) in the case of Swing Loans, the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin. Each determination of an interest rate by Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All computations of interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a (i) 360-day year and actual days elapsed for LIBOR Rate Loans and Letters of Credit and (ii) 365/366-day year and actual days elapsed for Base Rate Loans. All computations of fees payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

(b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the Revolving Termination Date.

(c) At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under subsection 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) exists), the Borrowers shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the Loans from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding two percent (2.0%) per annum to the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Loans (plus the LIBOR or Base Rate, as the case may be). All such interest shall be payable on demand of Agent or the Required Lenders.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(e) 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 a 360 day year 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.

1.4 Loan Accounts.

(a) Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of each Loan made, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers on a monthly basis a loan statement setting forth such record for the immediately preceding calendar month. Such record shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Agent.

(b) Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this subsection 1.4(b), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 (or at such other address as Agent may notify the Borrowers) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer in the US Revolving Loans, Canadian Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, L/C Reimbursement Obligations, and Letter of Credit Obligations, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Obligations, and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 9.9 and 9.22), (2) the Revolving Loan Commitments of each US Revolving Lender, (3) the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments of each Canadian Revolving Lender, (4) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, and for LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (5) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (6) the amount of the L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid in respect of Letters of Credit and (7) any other payment received by Agent from the Borrowers and its application to the Obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans and, in the case of US Revolving Loans, the corresponding obligations to participate in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 1.4 and Section 9.9 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(d) The Credit Parties, Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrowers, Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer during normal business hours and from time to time upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by Agent.

1.5 Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing.

(a) Each Borrowing of a US Revolving Loan shall be made upon the US Borrower’s irrevocable (subject to Section 10.5) written notice delivered to Agent substantially in the form of a Notice of Borrowing or in a writing in any other form acceptable to Agent, which notice must be received by Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) (i) on the date which is one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each Base Rate Loan equal to or less than $50,000,000, (ii) on the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each Base Rate Loan in excess of $50,000,000 and (iii) on the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each LIBOR Rate Loan. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify:

(iii) whether the Borrowing is to be comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans; and

(iv) if the Borrowing is to be LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

(b) Each Borrowing of a Canadian Revolving Loan shall be made upon the Canadian Borrower’s irrevocable (subject to Section 10.5) written notice delivered to Agent substantially in the form of a Notice of Borrowing or in a writing in any other form acceptable to Agent, which notice must be received by Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) (i) on the date which is one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each Base Rate Loan and (iii) on the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each LIBOR Rate Loan. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify:

(i) the amount of the Borrowing (which shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $100,000);

(ii) the requested Borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the Borrowing is to be comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans; and

(d) Unless Agent is otherwise directed in writing by the relevant Borrower, the proceeds of each requested Borrowing after the Closing Date will be made available to such Borrower by Agent by wire transfer of such amount to such Borrower pursuant to the wire transfer instructions specified on the signature page hereto.

1.6 Conversion and Continuation Elections.

(a) The Borrowers shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Loan be made as a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Revolving Loans (other than Swing Loans) from Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, subject to Section 10.4, if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iv) continue all or any portion of any Revolving Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Any Revolving Loan or group of Revolving Loans having the same proposed Interest Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Rate Loan must be in a minimum amount of (x) with respect to US Revolving Loans, $2,000,000 and (y) with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans $500,000. Any such election must be made by the relevant Borrower by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Revolving Loan which is to bear interest at LIBOR, (2) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the relevant Borrower wishes to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period designated by such Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, that LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of its Interest Period. The relevant Borrower must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, including by Electronic Transmission. In the case of any conversion or continuation of Revolving Loans, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation of Revolving Loans”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.6 or in a writing in any other form acceptable to Agent. No Revolving Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan if the conditions to Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit in Section 2.2 are not met at the time of such proposed conversion or continuation and Agent or Required Lenders have determined not to make or continue any Revolving Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan as a result thereof.

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation of Revolving Loans Agent will promptly notify each relevant Revolving Lender thereof. In addition, Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders of each determination of LIBOR; provided that any failure to do so shall not relieve any Borrower of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against Agent. All conversions and continuations of US Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the US Revolving Loans held by each US Revolving Lender with respect to which the notice was given. All conversions and continuations of Canadian Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Canadian Revolving Loans held by each Canadian Revolving Lender with respect to which the notice was given.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, or to any continuation or conversion of any Revolving Loans, there shall not be more than (i) with respect to US Revolving Loans, seven (7) different Interest Periods in effect and (ii) with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans, seven (7) different Interest Periods in effect.

1.7 Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments and Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments. US Borrower may at any time upon at least two (2) Business Days’(or such shorter period as is acceptable to Agent) prior notice by US Borrower to Agent permanently reduce (but not terminate) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, that (a) such prepayments or reductions shall be in an amount greater than or equal to $1,000,000, (b) the Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount less than the greater of (i) $50,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of US Revolving Loans, Canadian Revolving Loans, Swing Loans plus Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding and (c) any reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment shall cause a corresponding pro rata reduction in the Swingline Commitment. In addition, Borrowers may at any time on at least five (5) days’ prior written notice by Borrowers to Agent terminate the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, that upon such termination, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full and all Letter of Credit Obligations shall be cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied in accordance herewith. Optional reductions or terminations of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be without premium or penalty except as provided in Section 10.4. All reductions of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be allocated pro rata among all US Revolving Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment. A permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall not require a corresponding pro rata reduction in the L/C Sublimit.

1.8 Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(a) Revolving Loan. The Borrowers shall repay to the Lenders in full on the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of “Revolving Termination Date” the aggregate principal amount of the US Revolving Loans, Canadian Revolving Loans and Swing Loans outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date.

(b) Asset Dispositions; Events of Loss. If a Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party shall at any time or from time to time:

(i) make or agree to make a Disposition; or

(ii) suffer an Event of Loss;

then (A) the Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent of such proposed Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by a Credit Party and/or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and (B) promptly upon receipt by a Credit Party and/or such Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss, the Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such excess Net Proceeds to Agent for distribution to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Loans, which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 1.8(c)(i) hereof; provided that any such Net Proceeds received by any Canadian Credit Party shall be used by Canadian Borrower to repay the Canadian Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds and such payments shall be applied in accordance with subsection 1.8(c)(ii).

(i) Subject to subsection 1.10(c), any prepayments pursuant to subsection 1.8(b) (other than prepayments made by Canadian Credit Parties set forth therein), shall be applied first to prepay outstanding Swing Loans, and second to prepay outstanding US Revolving Loans without a permanent reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. To the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence, amounts prepaid shall be applied first to any US Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to outstanding US Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.8, the US Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4.

(ii) Subject to subsection 1.10(d), any prepayments made by any Canadian Credit Party pursuant to subsection 1.8(b), shall be applied to prepay outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans without a permanent reduction of the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment. To the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence, amounts prepaid shall be applied first to any Canadian Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.8, the US Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4.

(d) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained in this Section 1.8 for the application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent of the Lenders to transactions that are not otherwise permitted by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents.

1.9 Fees.

(a) Fees. The US Borrower shall pay to Agent, for Agent’s own account, fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in a letter agreement between the US Borrower and Agent dated as of the date of the Existing Credit Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Fee Letter”).

(b) Unused Commitment Fee. The US Borrower shall pay to Agent a fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) for the account of each US Revolving Lender in an amount equal to:

(i) the average daily amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such US Revolving Lender during the preceding calendar month, less

(ii) the sum of (x) the average daily balance of all US Revolving Loans and Canadian Revolving Loans held by such US Revolving Lender or any Canadian Revolving Lender which is also a US Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of such US Revolving Lender plus (y) the average daily amount of Letter of Credit Obligations held by such US Revolving Lender, plus (z) in the case of the Swingline Lender, the average daily balance of all outstanding Swing Loans held by such Swingline Lender, in each case, during the preceding calendar month; provided, in no event shall the amount computed pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) with respect to the Swingline Lender be less than zero,

(iii) multiplied by one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum.

The total Unused Commitment Fee paid by the US Borrower will be equal to the sum of all of the Unused Commitment Fees due to the US Revolving Lenders, subject to subsection 1.11(e)(vi). Such fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month following the date hereof. The Unused Commitment Fee provided in this subsection 1.9(b) shall accrue at all times from and after the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(c) Letter of Credit Fee. The US Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of the US Revolving Lenders, as compensation to such US Revolving Lenders for Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) without duplication of costs and expenses otherwise payable to Agent or Lenders hereunder or fees otherwise paid by the US Borrower, all costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any US Revolving Lender on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each calendar month during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the product of the average daily undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit Issued, guarantied or supported by risk participation agreements multiplied by a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin with respect to US Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans; provided, however, at Agent’s or Required Lenders’ option, while an Event of Default exists (or automatically while an Event of Default under subsection 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) exists), such rate shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) per annum. Such fee shall be paid to Agent for the benefit of the US Revolving Lenders in arrears, on the first day of each calendar month and on the date on which all L/C Reimbursement Obligations have been discharged. In addition, the US Borrower shall pay to Agent, any L/C Issuer or any prospective L/C Issuer, as appropriate, on demand, such L/C Issuer’s or prospective L/C Issuer’s customary fees at then prevailing rates, without duplication of fees otherwise payable hereunder (including all per annum fees), charges and expenses of such L/C Issuer or prospective L/C Issuer in respect of the application for, and the Issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of, each Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is Issued.

(d) Closing Fees. On the Closing Date, the US Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of the US Revolving Lenders a closing fee in an amount equal to $50,000. If any Borrower or any other Person agrees to compensate, or compensates, Agent or any Lender (each, a “Compensated Lender”) for its participation on the Closing Date in the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Loans (other than any annual administration fee payable to the Agent, standard compensation with respect to the issuance of letters of credit or deposit account management, and the reimbursement of costs and expenses) such Borrower shall pay to all the Lenders not receiving such fee (the “Non Compensated Lenders”), a corresponding fee in an amount equal to the equivalent amount of such compensation (calculated on a ratable basis so that such compensation payable to such Non Compensated Lenders and such Compensated Lender is the same percentage of their respective Revolving Loan Commitment).

1.10 Payments by the Borrowers.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by each Credit Party on account of the principal, interest, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be made without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to Agent (for the ratable account of the Persons entitled thereto) at the address for payment specified in the signature page hereof in relation to Agent (or such other address as Agent may from time to time specify in accordance with Section 9.2), including payments utilizing the ACH system, and shall be made in US Dollars and by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder), no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date due. Any payment which is received by Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) may in Agent’s discretion be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. The Borrowers and each other Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and, subject to subsection 1.10(c) and (d), any proceeds of Collateral. The US Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and each US Revolving Lender to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan and which may be a Swing Loan) to pay (i) interest, principal (including Swing Loans), L/C Reimbursement Obligations, agent fees, Unused Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, in each instance, on the date due, or (ii) after five (5) days’ prior notice to the US Borrower, other fees, costs or expenses payable by the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, if any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, and shall upon the direction of Required Lenders apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of any US Obligation in accordance with clauses first through sixth below. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all payments made by US Credit Parties to Agent after any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), any proceeds of Collateral securing the US Obligations (and, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any Collateral which secures only the Canadian Obligations), shall be applied as follows:

(d) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, and shall upon the direction of Required Lenders apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of any Canadian Obligation in accordance with clauses first through fifth below.

1.11 Payments by the Lenders to Agent; Settlement.

(a) Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, disburse funds to the relevant Borrower for Loans requested. Each Lender shall reimburse Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent, or if Agent so requests, each Lender will remit to Agent its US Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as the case may be, of any Loan before Agent disburses same to the relevant Borrower. If Agent elects to require that each relevant Lender make funds available to Agent prior to disbursement by Agent to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, Agent shall advise such Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s US Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as the case may be, of the Loan requested by the relevant Borrower no later than the Business Day prior to the scheduled Borrowing date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay Agent such Lender’s US Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as the case may be, of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Agent’s account, as set forth on Agent’s signature page hereto, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such scheduled Borrowing date. Nothing in this subsection 1.11(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the remaining provisions of Section 1.11, shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Loan Commitments or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent, any Lender, the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(b) At least once each calendar week or more frequently at Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s US Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as the case may be, of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s US Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as the case may be (except as otherwise provided in subsection 1.1(b)(vi) and subsection 1.11(e)) of principal, interest and fees paid by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date.

(c) Availability of Lender’s Commitment Percentage. Agent may assume that (x) each US Revolving Lender will make its US Commitment Percentage of each US Revolving Loan available to Agent on each Borrowing date and (y) each Canadian Revolving Lender will make its Canadian Commitment Percentage of each Canadian Revolving Loan available to Agent on each Borrowing Date. If such US Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as the case may be, is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such US Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender, as the case may be, when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such US Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender, as the case may be, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any US Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender fails to pay the amount of its US Commitment Percentage or Canadian Commitment Percentage, as the case may be, forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower and such Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Nothing in this subsection 1.11(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any US Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender or to relieve any US Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Loan Commitments or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the US Borrower may have against any US Revolving Lender or any rights that the Canadian Borrower may have against any Canadian Revolving Lender as a result of any default by such US Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender hereunder. Without limiting the provisions of subsection 1.11(b), to the extent that Agent advances funds to the US Borrower on behalf of any US Revolving Lender or advances funds to the Canadian Borrower on behalf of any Canadian Revolving Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance from the date such advance was made until reimbursed by the relevant US Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender, as the case may be.

(d) Return of Payments.

(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from the relevant Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be returned to any Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any Insolvency Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest on such amount for the period during which such Lender held such amount, at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to the relevant Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and Agent will be entitled to set-off against future distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand.

(e) Non-Funding Lenders.

(i) Responsibility. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Loan, or to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it (including, without limitation, with respect to any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan), or to make any payment required by it under any Loan Document on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan, fund the purchase of any such participation, or make any other such required payment on such date, and neither Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a loan, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other required payment under any Loan Document.

(ii) Reallocation. If any US Revolving Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (unless such US Revolving Lender is the L/C Issuer that Issued such Letter of Credit) and reimbursement obligations with respect to Swing Loans shall, at Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s, as applicable, written request delivered to Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the US Revolving Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders pro rata in accordance with their US Commitment Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s US Commitment Percentage was reduced to zero and each other US Revolving Lender’s US Commitment Percentage had been increased proportionately), provided that no US Revolving Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause the sum of its outstanding US Revolving Loans, outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, amounts of its participations in Swing Loans and its pro rata share of unparticipated amounts in Swing Loans to exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment or would cause a prepayment to be required to be made under subsection 1.1(a)(ii).

(iii) Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, including Section 9.1, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender”, “Revolving Lender”, “US Revolving Lender” or “Canadian Revolving Lender” (or be, or have its Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders” or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to Section 9.1) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, provided that (A) the Revolving Loan Commitment or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment of a Non-Funding Lender may not be increased, extended or reinstated, (B) subject to clause (C) below, the principal of any interest on or other amounts due with respect to a Non-Funding Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or forgiven, (C) the interest rate applicable to Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced in such a manner that by its terms affects such Non-Funding Lender more adversely than other Lenders that are US Revolving Lenders or Canadian Revolving Lenders, as applicable, in each case without the consent of such Non-Funding Lender and (D) this subsection 1.11(e)(iii) may not be amended without the consent of the Non-Funding Lenders, if any, at the times of such amendment. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Required Lenders, the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, and Revolving Loan Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments outstanding.

(iv) Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender. Agent shall be authorized to use all payments received by Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Secured Parties. In the case of any Non-Funding Lender that is a US Revolving Lender, Agent shall be entitled to hold as cash collateral in a non-interest bearing account up to an amount equal to such Non-Funding Lender’s pro rata share, without giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii), of all Letter of Credit Obligations until the US Obligations are paid in full in cash, all Letter of Credit Obligations have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Revolving Loan Commitments and Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments have been terminated. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender that is a US Revolving Lender becoming due and payable, Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s (that is a US Revolving Lender) failure to fund US Revolving Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligations, any amounts applied by Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a US Revolving Loan or amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other US Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, US Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit participation interests from the other US Revolving Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the US Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the US Revolving Lenders in accordance with their US Commitment Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s (that is a Canadian Revolving Lender) failure to fund Canadian Revolving Loans, any amounts applied by Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Canadian Revolving Loan and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Canadian Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Canadian Revolving Loans from the other Canadian Revolving Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Canadian Revolving Loans are held by the Canadian Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Canadian Commitment Percentages of the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest, (1) in the case amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender that is a US Revolving Lender, at the interest rate applicable during such period to US Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or (2) in the case amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender that is a Canadian Revolving Lender, at the interest rate applicable during such period to Canadian Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. In the event that Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (v) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be (x) in the case of a Non-Funding Lender that is a US Revolving Lender, the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such US Revolving Lender to the Agent, L/C Issuers, Swingline Lender, and other US Revolving Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such US Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of all US Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, Swing Loans, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of such Non-Funding Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations and reimbursement obligations with respect to Swing Loans reallocated to other US Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii) or (y) in the case of a Non-Funding Lender that is a Canadian Revolving Lender, the aggregate amount of all unpaid obligations owing by such Canadian Revolving Lender to the Agent and other Canadian Revolving Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such Canadian Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of all Canadian Revolving Loans.

(v) Cure. A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender if such Lender (A) fully pays to Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon and (B) timely funds the next Revolving Loan required to be funded by such Lender or makes the next reimbursement required to be made by such Lender. Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.

(vi) Fees. A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fee during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof. In the event that any reallocation of Letter of Credit Obligations occurs pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii), during the period of time that such reallocation remains in effect, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such reallocated portion shall be payable to (A) all US Revolving Lenders based on their pro rata share of such reallocation or (B) to the L/C Issuer for any remaining portion not reallocated to any other US Revolving Lenders.

(f) Procedures. Agent is hereby authorized by each Credit Party and each other Secured Party to establish procedures (and to amend such procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent is hereby authorized to establish procedures to make available or deliver, or to accept, notices, documents and similar items on, by posting to or submitting and/or completion on, E-Systems.

1.12 Currency Matters. Principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, cash collateral for reimbursement obligations, fees, and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Agent and Lenders shall be payable (except as otherwise specifically provided herein) in the currency in which such Obligations are denominated. Unless stated otherwise, all calculations, comparisons, measurements or determinations under this Agreement shall be made in US Dollars. For the purpose of such calculations, comparisons, measurements or determinations, amounts denominated in other currencies shall be converted to the Equivalent Amount thereof in US Dollars on the date of calculation, comparison, measurement or determination. In particular, without limitation, for purposes of valuations or computations under Sections 1.3, 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10, unless expressly provided otherwise, where a reference is made to a US Dollar amount, the amount is to be considered as the amount in US Dollars and, therefore, each other currency shall be converted into the Equivalent Amount thereof in US Dollars.

1.13 Eligible Accounts.

1.17 Collateral Allocation Mechanism.

(a) Implementation of CAM.

(i) On the CAM Exchange Date, (A) the Revolving Loan Commitments and Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated as provided in Section 7.2, and (B) the Lenders shall automatically and without further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 9.8) be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Credit Facilities such that in lieu of the interest of each Lender in each Credit Facility in which it shall participate as of such date (including such Lender’s interest in the Obligations of each Credit Party in respect of each such Credit Facility), such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Credit Facilities (including the Obligations of each Credit Party in respect of each such Credit Facility and each L/C Reserve Account established pursuant to subsection 1.17(b) below), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof, provided that such CAM Exchange will not affect the aggregate amount of the Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Credit Party hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Credit Facility. Each Credit Party agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Agent all promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Agent against delivery of new promissory notes evidencing its interests in the Credit Facilities; provided, however, that the failure of any Credit Party to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

(ii) As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations, and each distribution made by the Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender upon or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of setoff, in respect of a Obligation shall be paid over to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

(b) Letters of Credit.

(i) In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit shall not have been reimbursed by the US Borrower (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”), each Lender in respect of Unpaid Drawings on Letters of Credit shall, before giving effect to the CAM Exchange, promptly pay over to the Agent, in immediately available funds and in US Dollars, an amount equal to such Lender’s US Commitment Percentage (as notified to such Lender by the Agent), of such Letter of Credit’s undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such Letter of Credit’s Unpaid Drawing, as the case may be, together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to a US Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to such amount, as the case may be. The Agent shall establish a separate account or accounts for each Lender (each, an “L/C Reserve Account”) for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s L/C Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the Lenders as provided above. The Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each L/C Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each L/C Reserve Account shall be held in such L/C Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraphs (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) below. The Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the L/C Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s L/C Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the Letter of Credit Obligations, shall be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Credit Party and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of the US Borrower to pay interest to such Lender, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in subsection 1.1(b)(v).

(ii) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Agent shall, at the request of the L/C Issuer withdraw from the L/C Reserve Account of each Lender any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to the L/C Issuer in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under subsection 1.1(b)(vi). In the event any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit as provided in this subsection 1.17(b)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall, in the event of a drawing thereunder, have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under subsection 1.11(e), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the reimbursement obligations pursuant to subsection 1.17(a). Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount.

(iii) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Agent shall withdraw from the L/C Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.

(iv) With the prior written approval of the Agent and the L/C Issuer, any Lender may withdraw the amount held in its L/C Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to the Agent, for the account of the L/C Issuer on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing.

(c) Net Payments Upon Implementation of CAM Exchange. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, as a direct result of the implementation of the CAM Exchange, any Borrower is required to withhold Taxes from amounts payable to the Agent, any Lender or any participant hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Agent, such Lender or such participant shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent, such Lender or such participant (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to such Lender or participant under this subsection 1.17(c) (but, rather, shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to such Lender or participant to the extent required by Section 10.3) if such Lender or participant was prior to or on the CAM Exchange Date already a Lender or participant with respect to such Borrower.

(d) preserve or renew all of its registered Trademarks, trade names and service marks, the non-preservation of which would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and

(e) conduct its business and affairs without infringement of or interference with any Intellectual Property of any other Person in any material respect and shall comply in all material respects with the terms of its IP Licenses.

4.5 Maintenance of Property. Each Credit Party shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, and preserve all its Property which is used or useful in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and shall make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Insurance.

(a) Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect all policies of insurance of any kind with respect to the Property and businesses of the Credit Parties and such Subsidiaries (including policies of life, fire, theft, product liability, public liability, Flood Insurance, property damage, other casualty, employee fidelity, workers’ compensation, business interruption and employee health and welfare insurance) with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations (in each case that are not Affiliates of Holdings) of a nature and providing such coverage as is sufficient and as is customarily carried by businesses of the size and character of the business of the Credit Parties and (ii) cause all such insurance relating to any Property or business of any Credit Party to name Agent as additional insured or lenders loss payee as agent for the applicable Lenders, as appropriate. All policies of insurance on real and personal Property of the Credit Parties will contain an endorsement, in form and substance acceptable to Agent, showing loss payable to Agent (Form CP 1218 or equivalent and naming Agent as lenders loss payee as agent for the applicable Lenders) and extra expense and business interruption endorsements. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Agent, will provide that the insurance companies will give Agent at least 30 days’ prior written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be altered or canceled and that no act or default of the Credit Parties or any other Person shall affect the right of Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in case of loss or damage. Each Credit Party shall direct all present and future insurers under its “All Risk” policies of property insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to Agent. If any insurance proceeds are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Credit Party and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse such Credit Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Agent reserves the right at any time, upon review of each Credit Party’s risk profile, to require additional forms and limits of insurance. Notwithstanding the requirement in subsection (i) above, Federal Flood Insurance shall not be required for (x) Real Estate not located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, or (y) Real Estate located in a Special Flood Hazard Area in a community that does not participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.

(b) Unless the Credit Parties provide Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agent may purchase insurance at the Credit Parties’ expense to protect Agent’s and Lenders’ interests in the Credit Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ properties. This insurance may, but need not, protect the Credit Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ interests. The coverage that Agent purchases may not pay any claim that any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party makes or any claim that is made against such Credit Party or any Subsidiary in connection with said Property. The applicable Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that there has been obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance, the Credit Parties will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges Agent may impose in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance shall be added to the applicable Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance the applicable Borrower may be able to obtain on its own.

(c) The Credit Parties appoint agent as their attorney-in-fact to settle or adjust all property damage claims under its casualty insurance policies; provided, that such power of attorney shall only be exercised so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the claim exceeds $1,000,000. Agent shall have no duty to exercise such power of attorney, but may do so at its discretion.

4.7 Payment of Obligations. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay, discharge and perform as the same shall become due and payable or required to be performed, all their respective obligations and liabilities, including:

(a) all tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its Property, unless (i) the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the filing or enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such Person; and (ii) the aggregate Liabilities secured by such Lien do not exceed $250,000.

(b) all lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon its Property unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the imposition or enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such Person;

(c) all Indebtedness, as and when due and payable, but subject to any subordination provisions contained herein, in any other Loan Documents and/or in any instrument or agreement evidencing such Indebtedness;

(d) the performance of all obligations under any Contractual Obligation to such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, or to which it or any of its Property is subject, except where the failure to perform would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and

(e) payments to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of a Lien with respect to, or the involuntary termination of any underfunded Benefit Plan or Canadian Benefit Plan.

4.8 Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 Inspection of Property and Books and Records. Each Credit Party shall maintain and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of such Person. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, with respect to each owned, leased, or controlled Property, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no notice shall be required and Agent shall have access at any and all times during the continuance thereof): (a) provide access to such property to Agent and any of its Related Persons, as frequently as Agent determines to be appropriate; and (b) permit Agent and any of its Related Persons to conduct field examinations, audit, inspect and make extracts and copies (or take originals if reasonably necessary) from all of such Credit Party’s books and records, and evaluate and make physical verifications of the Inventory and other Collateral in any manner and through any medium that Agent considers advisable, in each instance, at the Credit Parties’ expense; provided the Credit Parties shall only be obligated to reimburse Agent for the expenses for four such field examinations, audits and inspections per year or more frequently if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any Lender may accompany Agent or its Related Persons in connection with any inspection at such Lender’s expense.

4.10 Use of Proceeds. Each Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans solely as follows: (a) to pay costs and expenses required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1, and (b) for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes not in contravention of any Requirement of Law and not in violation of this Agreement; provided that Canadian Borrower shall not use any proceeds of the Loans to make Restricted Payments.

4.11 Cash Management Systems. Each Credit Party (i) shall enter into, and cause each depository, securities intermediary, commodities or futures intermediary to enter into, Control Agreements providing for “full” cash dominion in the case of the US Credit Parties, or “springing” cash dominion in the case of the Canadian Credit Parties, with respect to each deposit, securities, commodity, futures or similar account maintained by such Person (other than the Credit Card Purchases Funding Account, any payroll account so long as such payroll account is a zero balance account and withholding tax, benefit and fiduciary accounts), (ii) shall establish lockboxes subject to Control Agreements and direct all Account Debtors to remit all payments directly into such lockboxes; provided, that the Canadian Borrower shall establish a lockbox with HSBC Bank Canada within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date and shall amend the applicable Control Agreement to include such lockbox, (iii) shall cause all funds in deposit accounts of a US Credit Party to be transferred on a daily basis to a concentration account that is subject to a Control Agreement, (iv) shall not maintain cash on deposit in disbursement accounts in excess of the sum of outstanding checks and wire transfers payable from such accounts and $100,000 and (v) shall cause all payments received by them to be deposited in deposit accounts within one (1) Business Day following receipt.

4.12 Landlord Agreements; Bailee Waivers. If, after the Closing Date, any Credit Party acquires any leased Real Estate, or stores any Collateral at a warehouse, processor or coverter facility or other location, such Credit Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a landlord agreement or bailee or mortgagee waivers, as applicable, from the applicable lessor of each leased property, bailee in possession of such Collateral or mortgagee of any owned property within thirty (30) days after the date of such acquisition or storage, which agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Agent; provided that in the event that any Credit Party fails to obtain any such waiver for a location, the Agent shall have the right to establish Reserves satisfactory to the Agent for each such location unless and until the relevant Borrower subsequently obtains such waiver for such location reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent; provided, further, that with respect to the premises located at 9538 – 195 Street, Surrey, B.C., the Canadian Borrower shall have thirty (30) days after the Closing Date to obtain a landlord agreement from the lessor of such property.

4.13 Further Assurances.

(a) Each Credit Party shall ensure that all written information, exhibits and reports furnished to Agent or the Lenders do not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not and will not omit to state any material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which made, and will promptly disclose to Agent and the Lenders and correct any defect or error that may be discovered therein or in any Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgement or recordation thereof.

(b) Promptly upon request by Agent, the Credit Parties shall (and, subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to) take such additional actions and execute such documents as Agent may reasonably require from time to time in order (i) to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to subject to the Liens created by any of the Collateral Documents, any of the Properties, rights or interests covered by any of the Collateral Documents, (iii) to perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Collateral Documents and the Liens intended to be created thereby, and (iv) to better assure, convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm to the Secured Parties the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document.

(c) Without limiting the generality of subsection 4.13(b) and except as otherwise approved in writing by Required Lenders, the US Credit Parties shall cause each of their Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Domestic Subsidiaries owned indirectly through a Foreign Subsidiary) and, to the extent no 956 Impact exists, Foreign Subsidiaries and Domestic Subsidiaries owned indirectly through a Foreign Subsidiary, to guaranty the US Obligations and to cause each such Subsidiary to grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, all of such Subsidiary’s Property to secure such guaranty of the US Obligations. Furthermore and except as otherwise approved in writing by Required Lenders, each US Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Domestic Subsidiaries owned indirectly through a Foreign Subsidiary) to, pledge all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Domestic Subsidiaries owned indirectly through a Foreign Subsidiary) and First Tier Foreign Subsidiaries (provided that with respect to the Canadian Borrower or any other First Tier Foreign Subsidiary if a 956 Impact exists, such pledge shall be limited to sixty-six percent (66%) of such Foreign Subsidiary’s outstanding voting Stock and Stock Equivalents and one hundred percent (100%) of such Foreign Subsidiary’s outstanding non-voting Stock and Stock Equivalents) and to the extent no 956 Impact exists, each of its Foreign Subsidiaries to pledge all of the Stock and Stock Equivalent of each of its Subsidiaries, in each instance, to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the US Obligations. In connection with each such pledge of Stock and Stock Equivalents, the US Credit Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, irrevocable proxies and stock powers and/or assignments, as applicable, duly executed in blank.

A “956 Impact” will be deemed to exist to the extent the issuance of a guaranty by, grant of a Lien by, or pledge of greater than two-thirds of the voting Stock and Stock Equivalents of, a Foreign Subsidiary, would result in material incremental income tax liability as a result of the application of Section 956 of the Code, taking into account actual anticipated repatriation of funds, foreign tax credits and other relevant factors. In addition to the obligations set forth in subsections 4.6(a) and 4.13(c)(w), within forty-five (45) days after written notice from Agent to US Credit Parties that any Real Estate is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, US Credit Parties shall satisfy the Federal Flood Insurance requirements of subsection 4.6(a).

In connection with each pledge of Stock and Stock Equivalents, the Credit Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, irrevocable proxies and stock powers and/or assignments, as applicable, duly executed in blank.

If a Credit Party acquires Real Estate located in the United States, it shall provide Mortgages with respect to such Real Estate as security for the Canadian Obligations in accordance with, and otherwise comply with, the requirements set forth in subsection 4.13(c)(v), (w), (x), (y) and (z) and the last sentence of subsection 4.13(c).

Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing or if Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there exist violations of Environmental Laws by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party or that there exist any Environmental Liabilities, then each Credit Party shall, promptly upon receipt of request from Agent, cause the performance of, and allow Agent and its Related Persons access to such Real Estate for the purpose of conducting, such environmental audits and assessments, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and cause the preparation of such reports, in each case as Agent may from time to time reasonably request. Such audits, assessments and reports, to the extent not conducted by Agent or any of its Related Persons, shall be conducted and prepared by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent.

8.7 Lender Credit Decision.

(a) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of the Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate.

Notwithstanding such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s election to abstain from receiving MNPI, such Lender or L/C Issuer acknowledges that if such Lender or L/C Issuer chooses to communicate with Agent, it assumes the risk of receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates.

8.8 Expenses; Indemnities; Withholding.

(a) Each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party) promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, for any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be incurred by Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.

(b) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including, to the extent not indemnified pursuant to Section 8.8(c), taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document, any Related Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

(c) To the extent required by any applicable law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding tax. If the IRS, the CRA or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under this Section 8.8(c).

8.9 Resignation of Agent or L/C Issuer.

(a) Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the US Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.9. If Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If, after 30 days after the date of the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of the US Borrower (unless such successor Agent is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender), which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents as Agent, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 8.3, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents.

8.10 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

(b) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 4.13 after giving effect to such transaction have been granted, (ii) any Property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon subsection 5.1(h) or 5.1(i) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Credit Parties, upon (A) termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments, (B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans, all L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations under the Loan Documents and all Obligations arising under Secured Rate Contracts and Bank Products, that Agent has theretofore been notified in writing by the holder of such Obligation are then due and payable, (C) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations (or, as an alternative to cash collateral in the case of any Letter of Credit Obligation, receipt by Agent of a back-up letter of credit), in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to Agent and each Indemnitee that is, or may be, owed such Obligations (excluding contingent Obligations (other than L/C Reimbursement Obligations) as to which no claim has been asserted) and (D) to the extent requested by Agent, receipt by Agent and the Secured Parties of liability releases from the Credit Parties each in form and substance acceptable to Agent.

8.11 Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer party hereto as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party confirms in writing (in form and substance acceptable to Agent) that it is bound by this Article VIII and Section 9.3, Section 9.9, Section 9.10, Section 9.11, Section 9.17, Section 9.24 and Section 10.1 (and, solely with respect to L/C Issuers, subsection 1.1(b)) and the decisions and actions of Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 8.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (b) each of Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers party hereto shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as otherwise set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnitee, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any Property of any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to Property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such Property or natural resource or any Property on or contiguous to any Real Estate of any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party or the owner, lessee or operator of any Property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by Agent or following Agent or any Lender having become the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party and (ii) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee.

9.7 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any Property in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from any Borrower, from any other Credit Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

9.8 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that any assignment by any Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.9, and provided further that neither Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

9.9 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties signatory hereto, Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Holdings, the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties hereto (in each case except for Article VIII), Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer receiving the benefits of the Loan Documents and, to the extent provided in Section 8.11, each other Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 8.9), none of Holdings, the Borrowers, any other Credit Party, any L/C Issuer or Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

(b) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Sale”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender), (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender) or (iii) any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to Agent and, with respect to Sales of Revolving Loan Commitments, each L/C Issuer that is a Lender (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrowers (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld and delayed; provided that (x) such acceptance shall be deemed to have been given unless an objection is delivered to Agent within five (5) Business Days after notice of a proposed Sale is delivered to the Borrowers and (y) it shall not be unreasonable for the Borrowers to withhold consent to assignments to Competitors of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries); provided, however, that (1) such Sales but must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Revolving Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans, (2) for each US Revolving Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the US Revolving Loans, Revolving Loan Commitments and Letter of Credit Obligations subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrowers (to the extent Borrowers’ consent is otherwise required) and Agent, (3) any assignment by a Lender of its Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments shall only be made as an integrated part of assignments of an equal pro rata share of the US Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments and the Canadian Revolving Loans and Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender and/or any Affiliate and/or Approved Fund of such Lender, (4) such Sales shall be effective only upon the acknowledgement in writing of such Sale by Agent, (5) interest accrued, other than any interest that is payable-in-kind, prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned, and (6) such Sales by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall be subject to Agent’s prior written consent in all instances, unless in connection with such Sale, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status as contemplated in subsection 1.11(e)(v). Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a Credit Party, an Affiliate of a Credit Party, a holder of Subordinated Indebtedness or an Affiliate of such a holder, or to a Person that would be a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable.

(c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by Agent (or, if previously agreed with Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.1 and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to Agent, unless waived or reduced by Agent; provided, that (i) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (ii) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such Assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale (unless waived or reduced by Agent). Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is made in accordance with clause (iii) of subsection 9.9(b), upon Agent (and the Borrowers, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.

(d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection 1.4(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may grant a security interest in, hypothec in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

(f) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may, (x) with notice to Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from Agent or the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the applicable Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Article X, but, with respect to Section 10.1, only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to subsection 10.1(f) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the applicable Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of subsection 9.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in clause (vi) of subsection 9.1(a). No party hereto shall institute (and each Borrower and Holdings shall cause each other Credit Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations.

9.10 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Non-Public Information. Each of Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) hereunder concerning the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations and Canadian federal, provincial or territorial laws and regulations).

(b) Confidential Information. Each of Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in writing by any Credit Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrowers’ consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent, as the case may be, or to any Person that any L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.10 or (B) available to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their Related Persons, as the case may be, from a source (other than any Credit Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements, (vi) (A) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, Insurance Bureau of Canada or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or (B) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Credit Parties, (vii) to current or prospective assignees, SPVs (including the investors or prospective investors therein) or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any Secured Rate Contracts or Bank Products and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, investors, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 9.10 (and such Person may disclose information to their respective Related Persons in accordance with clause (ii) above), (viii) to any other party hereto, and (ix) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, or to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Credit Parties or their Related Persons referring to a Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their Related Persons. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 9.10 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Credit Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 9.10 shall govern.

(c) Tombstones. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by Agent or any Lender of any press releases, tombstones, advertising or other promotional materials (including, without limitation, via any Electronic Transmission) relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using such Credit Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any such press release, advertising or other promotional material to the Borrowers for review and comment prior to the publication thereof.

(d) Press Release and Related Matters. No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall permit any of its Affiliates to, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of securities of any Credit Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to GE Capital or of any of its Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein to which GE Capital or any of its Affiliates is party without the prior written consent of GE Capital or such Affiliate except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after advising GE Capital.

(e) Distribution of Materials to Lenders and L/C Issuers. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents and all reports, notices, communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, the Credit Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) may be disseminated by, or on behalf of, Agent, and made available, to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers by posting such Borrower Materials on an E-System. The Credit Parties authorize Agent to download copies of their logos from its website and post copies thereof on an E-System.

(f) Material Non-Public Information. The Credit Parties hereby agree that if either they, any parent company or any Subsidiary of the Credit Parties has publicly traded equity or debt securities in the United States or Canada, they shall (and shall cause such parent company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, to) (i) identify in writing, and (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, clearly and conspicuously ▇▇▇▇ such Borrower Materials that contain only information that is publicly available or that is not material for purposes of United States or Canadian federal, state, provincial and territorial securities laws as “PUBLIC”. The Credit Parties agree that by identifying such Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing such Borrower Materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, then Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall be entitled to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of United States or Canadian federal, state, provincial and territorial securities laws. The Credit Parties further represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that the following documents and materials shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI: (A) the Loan Documents, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, and (B) administrative materials of a customary nature prepared by the Credit Parties or Agent (including, Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion/Continuation of US Revolving Loans, Notices of Conversion/Continuation of Canadian Revolving Loans, L/C Requests, Swingline requests and any similar requests or notices posted on or through an E-System). Before distribution of any Borrower Materials, the Credit Parties agree to execute and deliver to Agent a letter authorizing distribution of the evaluation materials to prospective Lenders and their employees willing to receive MNPI, and a separate letter authorizing distribution of evaluation materials that do not contain MNPI and represent that no MNPI is contained therein.

9.11 Set-off; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Right of Setoff. Each of Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Credit Party against any Obligation of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of Agent or Required Lenders. Each of Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 9.11 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, their Affiliates and the other Secured Parties, may have.

(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC, in the case of the US Credit Parties or the PPSA, in the case of the Canadian Credit Parties) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 9.9 or Article X and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrowers, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or L/C Issuer in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation. If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in subsection 1.11(e).

9.12 Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

9.22 Replacement of Lender. Within forty-five days after: (i) receipt by the Borrowers of written notice and demand from any Lender that is not Agent or an Affiliate of Agent (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional costs as provided in Sections 10.1, 10.3 and/or 10.6; or (ii) any failure by any Lender (other than Agent or an Affiliate of Agent) to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly affected thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto, the Borrowers may, at their option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender) of the Borrowers’ intention to obtain, at the Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender), which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. In the event the Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender within forty-five (45) days following notice of their intention to do so, the Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender) shall sell and assign its Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments and Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments to such Replacement Lender, at par, provided that the Borrowers have reimbursed such Affected Lender for its increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 9.9 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 9.22 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.22, the Borrowers shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment so executed by the Borrowers, the Replacement Lender and Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 9.22 and Section 9.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender at any time with three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments and Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole or in part, at par. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 9.9, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

9.23 Joint and Several. The obligations of the US Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with respect to the US Obligations are joint and several. The obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with respect to the Canadian Obligations are joint and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is herein made to Article II of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, to which the obligations of Borrowers and the other Credit Parties are subject and Article II of the Canadian Guaranty and Security Agreement, to which the obligations of Canadian Borrower and the other Canadian Credit Parties are subject.

9.24 Creditor-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Credit Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

9.25 Actions in Concert. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights against any Credit Party arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent or Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

9.26 Judgment Currency; Contractual Currency.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9.26 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding (i) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or (ii) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9.26 being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in subsection 9.26(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, applicable Credit Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from a Credit Party under this subsection 9.26(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents.

(c) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in subsection 9.26(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due and as a result any Lender has actually received in the Judgment Currency an amount that, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, could produce an amount in excess of the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date, then the applicable Lender shall remit to the applicable Credit Party such excess without interest.

(d) The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 9.26 means the rate of exchange at which Agent could in accordance with its customary parties, on the relevant date at or about 1:00 p.m. (New York time), purchase the Obligation Currency with the Judgment Currency.

(e) Any amount received or recovered by Agent in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it (whether for itself or as trustee for any other person) from any Credit Party under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents in a currency other than the currency (the “Contractual Currency”) in which such sum is so expressed to be due (whether as a result of, or from the enforcement of, any judgment or order of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction, the winding-up of a Credit Party or otherwise) shall only constitute a discharge of such Credit Party to the extent of the amount of the Contractual Currency that Agent is able, in accordance with its usual practice, to purchase with the amount of the currency so received or recovered on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if later, the first date on which such purchase is practicable). If the amount of the Contractual Currency so purchased is less than the amount of the Contractual Currency so expressed to be due, such Credit Party shall indemnify Agent against any loss sustained by it as a result, including the cost of making any such purchase.

9.27 Loan Documents in English. It is the express wish of the parties that this Agreement, any Loan Document and any related document be drawn up and executed in English. Les parties conviennent que la présente convention et tous les documents s'y rattachant soient rédigés et signés en anglais.

9.28 No Deemed Subordination. The reference to Permitted Liens herein or in any other Loan Document is not intended to subordinate and shall not subordinate, and shall not be interpreted as subordinating, any Lien created by any of the Loan Documents in favor of the Agent or Lenders to any such Permitted Lien.

9.29 Affirmation of Obligations. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, from and after the Closing Date: (a) the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended as set forth herein and, as so amended, shall be restated in their entirety, but only with respect to the rights, duties and obligations among Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Agent accruing from and after the Closing Date; (b) this Agreement shall not in any way release or impair the rights, duties, Obligations or Liens created pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined therein) or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case, to the extent in force and effect thereunder as of the Closing Date and except as modified hereby or by documents, instruments and agreements executed and delivered in connection herewith, and all of such rights, duties, Obligations and Liens are assumed, ratified and affirmed by each of the Credit Parties; (c) all indemnification obligations of the Credit Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement and any other Loan Documents (as defined therein) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Lenders, the Agent and any other Person indemnified under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined therein) at any time prior to the Closing Date; (d) the Obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement shall, to the extent outstanding on the Closing Date, continue outstanding under this Agreement and shall not be deemed to be paid, released, discharged or otherwise satisfied by the execution of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not constitute a refinancing, substitution or novation of such Obligations or any of the other rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereunder, and the terms “Obligations”, “Guaranteed Obligations” and “Secured Obligations” as such terms are used in the Loan Documents shall include the Obligations as modified, amended and restated under this Agreement; (e) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders or the Agent (as defined therein) under the Existing Credit Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any covenant, agreement or obligation under the Existing Credit Agreement, except to the extent that any such covenant, agreement or obligation is no longer set forth herein or is modified hereby; (f) any and all references to the Existing Credit Agreement in any Collateral Document or other Loan Document shall, without further action of the parties, be deemed a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Agreement, and as this Agreement shall be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and any and all references to the Collateral Documents or Loan Documents in any such Collateral Documents or any other Loan Documents shall be deemed a reference to the Collateral Documents or Loan Documents under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Agreement, and as this Agreement shall be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time; and (g) the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents to which each of the Credit Parties is a party shall continue without any diminution thereof and shall remain in full force and effect on and after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE X.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

10.1 Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1, each payment by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any Governmental Authority and all liabilities with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, but excluding Excluded Taxes, the “Taxes”).

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by any Requirement of Law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 10.1), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Credit Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Credit Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Credit Party shall deliver to Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(c) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay, and authorize Agent to pay in their name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”). The Swingline Lender may, without any need for notice, demand or consent from the Borrowers, by making funds available to Agent in the amount equal to any such payment, make a Swing Loan to the US Borrower in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be used by Agent in whole to make such payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes by any Credit Party, the Borrowers shall furnish to Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(d) The Borrowers shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to Agent), each Secured Party for all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10.1) paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrowers with copy to Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f) (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (i) and (z) from time to time if requested by US Borrower or Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide Agent and the Borrowers (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY (together with appropriate forms, certifications and supporting statements) or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the US Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (C) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan Documents. Unless the US Borrower and Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the applicable Credit Parties and Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(i) Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (D) from time to time if requested by the US Borrower or Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide Agent and the US Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

(ii) Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or identified an SPV as such to Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in this clause (f) and provide them to Agent.

(iii) If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Lender Party would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Lender Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Non-U.S. Lender Party shall deliver to Agent and US Borrower any documentation under any Requirement of Law or reasonably requested by the Agent or US Borrower sufficient for Agent or US Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Non-U.S. Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

(g) Prior to becoming a Canadian Revolving Lender under this Agreement, each Person that is resident for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) in a jurisdiction outside of Canada (a “Canadian Foreign Lender”) shall provide to Canadian Borrower (with a copy to Agent) a form, certificate or document from the CRA, if available, and otherwise from the Canadian Foreign Lender certifying that the Canadian Foreign Lender is exempt from Canadian withholding tax or entitled to a reduction in Canadian withholding taxes, as applicable, under the laws of Canada or under an applicable tax treaty between Canada and the jurisdiction in which the Canadian Foreign Lender is resident (“Canadian Withholding Tax Exemption Certificate”). Thereafter, each Canadian Foreign Lender shall within fifteen (15) days after a reasonable written request of Canadian Borrower or Agent from time to time, provide to Canadian Borrower (with a copy to Agent) a Canadian Withholding Tax Exemption Certificate. If a Canadian Foreign Lender is not entitled to an exemption from Canadian withholding taxes with respect to payments to be made to such Canadian Revolving Lender under this Agreement or under the Canadian Revolving Note or does not provide a Canadian Withholding Tax Exemption Certificate within the time periods set forth in the preceding sentence, Canadian Borrower shall withhold taxes from payments to such Canadian Foreign Lender at the applicable statutory rate. Where the Canadian Foreign Lender has delivered to Canadian Borrower a Canadian Withholding Tax Exemption Certificate certifying that the Canadian Foreign Lender is entitled to a reduction in Canadian withholding taxes, such withholding shall be reduced under the provisions of any applicable tax treaty between Canada and the jurisdiction in which the Canadian Foreign Lender is resident. The provision of a Canadian Withholding Tax Exemption Certificate shall not relieve the Canadian Borrower of its obligation to pay additional amounts under section 10.1 (b) hereof.

10.2 Illegality. If after the date hereof any Lender shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Loans, on notice thereof by such Lender to the relevant Borrower through Agent, the obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified Agent and the relevant Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists.

(a) Subject to clause (c) below, if any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the applicable Borrower shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans, to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 10.4.

(b) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans has been terminated, the applicable Borrower may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by any such Lender as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

(c) Before giving any notice to Agent pursuant to this Section 10.2, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

10.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If any Lender or L/C Issuer shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) subsequent to the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans, or of Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, then the applicable Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within thirty (30) days of demand therefor by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased costs; provided, that such Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this subsection 10.3(a) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer notifies the applicable Borrower, in writing of the increased costs and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Lender or L/C Issuer shall have determined that:

(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof; or

(iv) compliance by such Lender or L/C Issuer (or its Lending Office) or any entity controlling the Lender or L/C Issuer, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or L/C Issuer or any entity controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entities’ policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Revolving Loan Commitment(s), Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within thirty (30) days of demand of such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent), the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, from time to time as specified by such Lender or L/C Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer (or the entity controlling the Lender or L/C Issuer) for such increase; provided, that such Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this subsection 10.3(b) for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer notifies the applicable Borrower, in writing of the amounts and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the event giving rise to such increase is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law under subsection (a) above and/or a change in a Capital Adequacy Regulation under subsection (b) above, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank of International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law under subsection (a) above and/or change in a Capital Adequacy Regulation under subsection (b) above, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

10.4 Funding Losses. The relevant Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of such Borrower to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof);

(b) the failure of the relevant Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a US Revolving Loan or Canadian Revolving Loan, as the case may be, after such Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation of Revolving Loans;

(c) the failure of any Borrower to make any prepayment after such Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 1.7;

(d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 1.8) of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or

(e) the conversion pursuant to Section 1.6 of any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period;

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, with respect to the expenses described in clauses (d) and (e) above, such Lender shall have notified Agent of any such expense within two (2) Business Days of the date on which such expense was incurred. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 10.4 and under subsection 10.3(a): each LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded.

10.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If Agent shall have determined in good faith that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or that the LIBOR applicable pursuant to subsection 1.3(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining such Loan, Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the relevant Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation of Revolving Loans then submitted by it. If such Borrower does not revoke such notice, the relevant Revolving Lenders shall make, convert or continue the applicable Revolving Loans, as proposed by such Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by such Borrower, but such Revolving Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans.

10.6 Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans. The relevant Borrower shall pay to each relevant Revolving Lender, as long as such Revolving Lender shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Revolving Lender (as determined by such Revolving Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan provided the relevant Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to Agent) of such additional interest from the relevant Revolving Lender. If a Revolving Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.

10.7 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article X shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.
