(i) all Indebtedness (x) (other than revolving Indebtedness, except to the extent the same is incurred to refinance other outstanding Indebtedness or to finance a Permitted Acquisition) incurred or issued after the first day of the relevant Test Period (whether incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition, to refinance Indebtedness or otherwise) shall be deemed to have been incurred or issued (and the proceeds thereof applied) on the first day of the respective Test Period and remain outstanding through the date of determination and (y) (other than revolving Indebtedness except to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction) permanently retired or redeemed after the first day of the relevant Test Period shall be deemed to have been retired or redeemed on the first day of the respective Test Period and remain retired through the date of determination;

(iv) in making any determination of Consolidated EBITDA, pro forma effect shall be given to any Permitted Acquisition consummated during the periods described above (excluding that portion of the assets or business acquired pursuant to any Permitted Acquisition which has been sold or disposed of thereafter and prior to the date of the respective determination), with such Consolidated EBITDA to be determined as if such Permitted Acquisition (or the relevant portion thereof) was consummated on the first day of the relevant Test Period. Pro forma calculations for any fiscal period ending on or prior to the first anniversary of a Permitted Acquisition may include adjustments to reflect operating expense reductions or other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from such Permitted Acquisition, less the amount of costs reasonably expected to be incurred by the Lead Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiaries to achieve such cost savings, to the extent that the Lead Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent

-38-

(i) a certificate of the Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower setting forth such operating expense reductions and the costs to achieve such reductions and (ii) information and calculations supporting in reasonable detail such estimated operating expense reductions and the costs to achieve such reductions; provided that any increase in Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Consolidated EBITDA; and

(v) in making any determination of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, in the event that the Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, assumes, guarantees, repays, repurchases, redeems, defeases or otherwise discharges any Indebtedness (other than in the case of revolving credit borrowings, in which case interest expense will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the Test Period), subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated and on or prior to the date on which the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”), then the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as if such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, repayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other discharge of Indebtedness, and the use of the proceeds therefrom, had occurred at the beginning of the Test Period.

For purposes of this definition, if any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, the interest on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any hedging obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such hedging obligations have a remaining term in excess of 12 months as of the Calculation Date). For purposes of this definition, interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation will be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, will be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Lead Borrower may designate.

Section 2. Amount and Terms of Credit.

2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each applicable Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make (i) U.S. Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrowers in Dollars, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date until the earlier of one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and the termination of the U.S. Revolving Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Exposure exceeding the lesser of (A) such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Commitment, and (B) such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage multiplied by the U.S. Borrowing Base then in effect or (ii) Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrower in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date until the earlier of one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and the termination of the Canadian Revolving Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Canadian Revolving Exposure exceeding the lesser of (A) such Lender’s Canadian Revolving Commitment, and (B) such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage multiplied by the Canadian Borrowing Base then in effect.

2.02. Loans.

(a) Each (i) U.S. Revolving Loan (other than U.S. Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of U.S. Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable U.S. Revolving Commitments and (ii) Canadian Revolving Loan (other than Canadian Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Canadian Revolving Loans made by the Canadian Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Canadian Revolving Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) (A) in the case of U.S. Base Rate Loans and Canadian Base Rate Loans, in an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 (B) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000, (C) in the case of B/A Equivalent Loans, an integral multiple of C$500,000 and not less than C$1,000,000 and (D) in the case of Canadian Prime Loans, in an integral multiple of C$100,000 and not less than C$100,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Revolving Commitments.

(b) Subject to Section 3.01, each Borrowing of U.S. Revolving Loans shall be comprised entirely of U.S. Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans and each Borrowing of Canadian Revolving Loans shall be comprised entirely of Canadian Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Loans, B/A Equivalent Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, as the Lead Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each applicable Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan to each applicable Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or cause the Borrowers to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.01. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than twenty Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans or five Borrowings of B/A Equivalent Loans outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods or Contract Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), each Lender shall make each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account as directed by the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, in the applicable Notice of Borrowing maintained with the Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met or waived, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

-55-

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period or Contract Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

(f) If an Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, the payment required to be made by Section 2.13(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the LC Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Revolving Lender of such LC Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each such Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute a U.S. Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan (for LC Disbursements denominated in Dollars) or a Canadian Prime Loan (for LC Disbursements denominated Canadian Dollars) of such Lender, and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the applicable LC Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the applicable Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the applicable Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph (f) to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Rate (for Dollars) or the Bank of Canada Overnight Rate (for Canadian Dollars), and for each day thereafter, the U.S. Base Rate (for Dollars) or the Canadian Prime Rate (for Canadian Dollars).

2.03. Borrowing Procedure. To request a Revolving Borrowing under the U.S. Subfacility or Canadian Subfacility, the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, respectively, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telecopy or electronic transmission (if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (i) in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans under the U.S. Subfacility or the Canadian Subfacility, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing, (iii) in the case of a Borrowing of B/A Equivalent Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (iv) in the case of a Borrowing of Canadian Base Rate Loans (other than Canadian Swingline Loans), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (v) in the case of a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Loans (other than Canadian Swingline Loans), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing.

If no Interest Period or Contract Period is specified with respect to any requested Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, then the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period or Contract Period of one month’s duration (subject to the proviso in clause (d) above). If no currency is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be made in Dollars for U.S. Borrowers and Canadian Dollars for the Canadian Borrower. Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a) Each U.S. Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each U.S. Revolving Loan of such U.S. Revolving Lender on the Maturity Date and (ii) to each U.S. Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each applicable U.S. Swingline Loan on the Maturity Date.

Each notice delivered by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable except that, to the extent delivered in connection with a refinancing of the Obligations, such notice shall not be irrevocable until such refinancing is closed and funded. Any effectuated termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Aggregate Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments of such Class.

2.08. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, shall have an initial Interest Period or Contract Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, may elect to convert such Borrowing, with respect to the U.S. Subfacility and Canadian Subfacility, as applicable, to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, may elect Interest Periods or Contract Periods, as applicable, therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Lead Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made, would result in more than twelve Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans or five Borrowings of B/A Equivalent Loans, outstanding hereunder at any one time. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by electronic transmission (if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower was requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election, subject to Section 3.05. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable. Whenever the Canadian Borrower desires to convert or continue any Canadian Prime Loans as B/A Equivalent Loans, the Canadian Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least two Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Canadian Prime Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Contract Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified).

(c) Each written Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Notice of Conversion/Continuation applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

-60-

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans, a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, a Borrowing of Canadian Base Rate Loans, a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Loans or a Borrowing of B/A Equivalent Loans;

(iv) the currency of the resulting Borrowing; and

(v) if the resulting Borrowing is a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, the Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable, to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” or “Contract Period,” as applicable.

If any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation requests a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans but does not specify an Interest Period or Contract Period, then the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period or Contract Period of one month’s duration. No Borrowing may be converted into or continued as a Borrowing denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Borrowing and reborrowed in the other currency.

(d) Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable. If a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a Borrowing of B/A Equivalent Loans is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Contract Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Loans. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Lead Borrower, then, after the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans and (ii) unless repaid, each Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans and B/A Equivalent Loans shall be converted to a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, respectively, at the end of the Interest Period or Contract Period applicable thereto.

2.09. Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall have the right, at any time and from time to time to prepay, without premium or penalty, any Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.09; provided that (i) each partial prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, (ii) each partial prepayment of B/A Equivalent Loans shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of C$500,000 and in a minimum amount of C$1,000,000, (iii) each partial prepayment of U.S. Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and in a minimum amount of $100,000 and (iv) each partial prepayment of Canadian Prime Loans shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of C$100,000 and in a minimum amount of C$100,000.

-62-

(i) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Lead Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to this paragraph (i) of Section 2.09(c). Unless during a Liquidity Period, except as provided in Section 2.09(b)(iii) hereof, all mandatory prepayments shall be applied as follows: first, to fees and reimbursable expenses of the Administrative Agent then due and payable pursuant to the Credit Documents; second, to interest then due and payable on the Borrowers’ Swingline Loans; third, to the principal balance of the Swingline Loan outstanding until the same has been prepaid in full; fourth, to interest then due and payable on the Revolving Loans and other amounts due pursuant to Sections 3.02 and 5.01; fifth, to the principal balance of the Revolving Loans until the same have been prepaid in full; sixth, to Cash Collateralize all LC Exposure plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (to be held and applied in accordance with Section 2.13(j) hereof); seventh, to all other Obligations pro rata in accordance with the amounts that such Lender certifies is outstanding; and eighth, as required by the Intercreditor Agreement or, in the absence of any such requirement, returned to the Lead Borrower or to such party as otherwise required by law.

(ii) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.09 to the prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay LIBOR Rate Loans and B/A Equivalent Loans, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.09 shall be in excess of the amount of the U.S. Base Rate Loans, the Canadian Base Rate Loans or the Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable at the time outstanding, only the portion of the amount of such prepayment that is equal to the amount of such outstanding U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either (A) deposited in the LC Collateral Account and applied to the prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, as applicable, on the last day of then next-expiring Interest Period or Contract Period for LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, as applicable (with all interest accruing thereon for the account of the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable) or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 2.10. Notwithstanding any such deposit in the LC Collateral Account, interest shall continue to accrue on such Loans until prepayment.

(d) Notice of Prepayment. The Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) by telecopy of any prepayment of the U.S. Subfacility hereunder and the Canadian Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telecopy of any prepayment of the Canadian Subfacility hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing of B/A Equivalent Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing of Canadian Base Rate Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment, (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment, (v) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment, (vi) in the case of prepayment of a U.S. Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment and (vii) in the case of prepayment of a Canadian Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable, except that such Borrower may, by subsequent notice to the Administrative Agent, revoke any such notice of prepayment if such notice of revocation is received not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day on which such prepayment is scheduled to occur and, provided that (i) such Borrower reimburses each Lender pursuant to Section 3.02 for any funding losses within five Business Days after receiving written demand therefor and (ii) the amount of Loans as to which such revocation applies shall be deemed converted to (or continued as, as applicable) U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08 as of the date of notice of revocation (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement). Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06.

-63-

2.10. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Credit Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 5.01 or otherwise) at or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Credit Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Canadian Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Canadian Revolving Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Canadian Revolving Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s office in Canadian Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than the times specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any U.S. Credit Party is prohibited by any law from making any required payment hereunder in Canadian Dollars, such U.S. Credit Party shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Dollar payment amount. Any amounts received after the required time on any date may, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02, 5.01 and 13.01 shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Credit Documents shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Credit Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in the manner as provided in Section 2.09(c) or 11.11 hereof, as applicable, ratably among the parties entitled thereto.

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

-64-

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.02(f), 2.10(d), 2.12(d) or 2.13(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

2.11. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining the Lenders’ obligations to fund or acquire participations in Loans or Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent may exclude the Commitments and Loans of any Defaulting Lender(s) from the calculation of Pro Rata Shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Credit Document, except to the limited extent provided in Section 13.12. In no event shall any Lender’s obligations pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) cause such Lender to exceed its Commitment.

(b) Payments; Fees. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Credit Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Administrative Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent, Non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Creditors have been paid in full. The Administrative Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, or readvance the amounts to the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee under Section 2.05(a). To the extent any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, LC Participation Fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Section 2.05(c) shall be paid to such other Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be paid all LC Participation Fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not so reallocated.

(c) Cure. The Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and applicable Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata Shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and Loans, and all outstanding Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by the Administrative Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata Shares. Unless expressly agreed in writing by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and applicable Issuing Bank, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

2.12. Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (X) the U.S. Swingline Lender shall make U.S. Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Lead Borrower from time to time until one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding U.S. Swingline Loans exceeding $100,000,000; provided that

-65-

any U.S. Swingline Loans that would result in the aggregate outstanding amount of U.S. Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000 shall be made at the sole discretion of the U.S. Swingline Lender, (ii) the U.S. Revolving Exposures exceeding the lesser of (A) the U.S. Revolving Commitments and (B) the U.S. Borrowing Base then in effect or (iii) the Aggregate Exposures exceeding the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base then in effect and (Y) the Canadian Swingline Lender shall make Canadian Swingline Loans in Dollars or Canadian Dollars to the Canadian Borrower from time to time from time to time until one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Canadian Swingline Loans exceeding the Dollar Equivalent of $50,000,000; provided that any Canadian Swingline Loans that would result in the aggregate outstanding amount of U.S. Swingline Loans exceeding $20,000,000 shall be made at the sole discretion of the Canadian Swingline Lender, (ii) the Canadian Revolving Exposures exceeding the lesser of (A) the Canadian Revolving Commitments and (B) the Canadian Borrowing Base then in effect or (iii) the Aggregate Exposures exceeding the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base then in effect; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans. The Borrowers acknowledge that in the event that a reallocation of the Swingline Loan exposure of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a) does not fully cover the Swingline Loan exposure of such Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent may require the applicable Borrower to prepay such remaining exposure in respect of each outstanding Swingline Loan within ten Business Days of demand therefor and will have no obligation to issue new Swingline Loans, or to extend, renew or amend existing Swingline Loans to the extent such exposure would exceed the commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, unless such remaining exposure is repaid.

(b) Swingline Loans. To request a U.S. Swingline Loan, the Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telecopy, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed U.S. Swingline Loan. To request a Canadian Swingline Loan, the Canadian Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telecopy, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Canadian Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the applicable Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable. The applicable Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, with the applicable Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a U.S. Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an U.S. LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.13(e), by remittance to the U.S. Issuing Bank) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time (in the case of U.S. Swingline Loans), 1:00 p.m., New York City time (in the case of Canadian Swingline Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars) or 2:00 p.m. New York City time (in the case of Canadian Swingline Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars), on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. Neither the Lead Borrower nor the Canadian Borrower shall request a Swingline Loan if at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such request a Default has occurred and is continuing. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $100,000.

(c) Prepayment. The Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay, without premium or penalty, any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or telecopy notice to the applicable Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of repayment at the applicable Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified in such Swingline Lender’s administrative questionnaire. All principal payments of Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment.

(d) Participations. The U.S. Swingline Lender or Canadian Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time (in the case of U.S. Swingline Loans) or 12:00 noon, New York City time (in the case of Canadian Swingline Loans), on any Business Day require the U.S. Revolving Lenders or Canadian Revolving Lenders, as applicable, to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the U.S. Swingline Loans or Canadian Swingline Loans, as applicable, outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which such Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to such Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each

Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitments or whether an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (provided that such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment). Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(f) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, of any participations in a Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to any Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from a Borrower (or other party on behalf of a Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the applicable Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(e) If the Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then on the Maturity Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Maturity Date); provided that, if on the occurrence of the Maturity Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.13(o)), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of the Maturity Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on the Maturity Date.

2.13. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Lead Borrower may request the issuance of U.S. Letters of Credit in Dollars for the Lead Borrower’s account or the account of a Domestic Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time until five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (provided that the Lead Borrower shall be a co-applicant with respect to each U.S. Letter of Credit issued for the account of or in favor of a Domestic Subsidiary) and (ii) the Canadian Borrower may request the issuance of Canadian Letters of Credit in Dollars or Canadian Dollars for the Canadian Borrower’s account or the account of a Canadian Subsidiary in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period (provided that the Canadian Borrower shall be a co-applicant with respect to each Canadian Letter of Credit issued for the account of or in favor of a Canadian Subsidiary). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, to, or entered into by the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. In the event that a reallocation of the Fronting Exposure with respect to LC Obligations of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a) does not fully cover the Fronting Exposure with respect to LC Obligations of such Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender has not Cash Collateralized its obligations or otherwise made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Issuing Bank may require the Lead Borrower to Cash Collateralize such remaining Fronting Exposure in respect of each outstanding Letter of Credit within ten Business Days of demand therefor and will have no obligation to issue new Letters of Credit, or to extend, renew or amend existing Letters of Credit to the extent the Fronting Exposure with respect to LC Obligations would exceed the commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, unless such remaining Fronting Exposure with respect to LC Obligations is Cash Collateralized. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed issued under this Agreement.

(b) Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by applicable Issuing Bank) an LC Request to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the second Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank). A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the amount and currency thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require. A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended; (x) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a Business Day), (y) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension; and (z) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, also shall submit a letter of credit application substantially on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall be deemed to represent and warrant (solely in the case of (w) and (x)) that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) (A) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $200,000,000, (B) (i) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of (1) the total Revolving Commitments and (2) the Borrowing Base then in effect, (ii) the total U.S. Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of (1) the total U.S. Revolving Commitments and (2) the U.S. Borrowing Base then in effect or (iii) the total Canadian Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of (1) the total Canadian Revolving Commitments and (2) the Canadian Borrowing Base then in effect and (C) if a Defaulting Lender exists, either such Lender or the Lead Borrower has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender. Unless the Administrative Agent and applicable Issuing Bank shall otherwise agree, no Letter of Credit shall be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit, Canadian Dollars.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such other longer period of time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree and, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one (1) year after such renewal or extension) and, unless Cash Collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank (in which case the expiry may extend no longer than twelve months after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Lead Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of twelve (12) months or less (but, subject to the foregoing, not beyond the date that is after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each applicable Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each applicable Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the applicable Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.13, or of any reimbursement payment

-68-

required to be refunded to the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower or for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitments or whether or not an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, each Borrower under the applicable Subfacility shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the applicable Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day after receiving notice from such Issuing Bank of such LC Disbursement; provided that, whether or not the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, submits a Notice of Borrowing, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested (except to the extent such Borrower makes payment to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due) a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable (for LC Disbursements made in Dollars), or Canadian Prime Loans (for LC Disbursements made in Canadian Dollars) in an amount necessary to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If such Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender under the applicable Subfacility of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each such Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(f) with respect to Loans made by such Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from such Revolving Lenders. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Borrower shall reimburse the Canadian Issuing Bank in Canadian Dollars, unless (A) the Canadian Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Canadian Borrower shall have notified the Canadian Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Canadian Borrower will reimburse the Canadian Issuing Bank in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Issuing Bank shall notify the Canadian Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from any Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank, distribute such payment to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in Canadian Dollars is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the third sentence in this Section 2.13(e) and (B) the Dollar amount paid by the Canadian Borrower shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in Canadian Dollars equal to the drawing, the Canadian Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the Canadian Issuing Bank for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Canadian Dollars in the full amount of the drawing.

(f) Obligations Absolute.

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.13 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of Canadian Dollars to the Lead Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant

-69-

currency markets generally or (vi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.13, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder; provided that the Borrowers shall have no obligation to reimburse any Issuing Bank to the extent that such payment was made in error due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction). Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Affiliates or branches, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction), each Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(ii) No Issuing Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Document. No Issuing Bank makes to the Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, such documents or any Credit Party. No Issuing Bank shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Document; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Credit Party.

(iii) No Issuing Bank or any of its Affiliates or branches, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and investment advisors shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment. No Issuing Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such Issuing Bank refrains from any action under any Letter of Credit or such LC Documents until it receives written instructions from the Required Lenders.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, by telecopy of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Subfacility with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such reimbursement obligation set forth in Section 2.13(e)).

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement

-70-

when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.13, then Section 2.06(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.13 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by agreement between the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that so long as no Event of Default under Section 11.01 or 11.05 exists, such successor Issuing Bank shall be reasonably acceptable to the Lead Borrower. One or more Lenders may be appointed as additional Issuing Banks in accordance with subsection (k) below. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Lead Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such additional Issuing Bank and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Lead Borrower may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization.

(i) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Lead Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent (acting at the request of the Required Lenders) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Lead Borrower and the Canadian Borrower shall deposit in the LC Collateral Account, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, an amount in cash equal to 105.00% of the LC Exposure as of such date. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, but shall be immediately released and returned to the applicable Borrowers (in no event later than two (2) Business Days) once all Events of Default are cured or waived. The Administrative Agent shall have a first priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) and exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made only in Cash Equivalents and at the direction of the Lead Borrower and at the Lead Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lead Borrower and the Canadian Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of the Lead Borrower.

(ii) The Lead Borrower shall, on demand by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure associated with any Defaulting Lender.

(k) Additional Issuing Banks. The Lead Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed (in addition to being a Lender) to be the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and all references herein and in the other Credit Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Lender in its capacity as Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.

-71-

(l) No Issuing Bank shall be under an obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank.

(m) No Issuing Bank shall be under an obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(n) LC Collateral Account.

(i) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain at the Notice Office, in the name of the Administrative Agent and pursuant to a dominion and control agreement, a restricted deposit account designated “The Lead Borrower LC Collateral Account.” Each Credit Party shall deposit into the LC Collateral Account from time to time the Cash Collateral required to be deposited under Section 2.13(j) hereof.

(ii) The balance from time to time in such LC Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Applicable Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, all amounts held in the LC Collateral Account shall constitute collateral security first for the liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time and second for the other Obligations hereunder until such time as all Letters of Credit shall have been terminated and all of the liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit have been paid in full. All funds in “The Lead Borrower LC Collateral Account” may be invested in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13(j).

(o) Extended Commitments. If the Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then (i) such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.13(d) and (e)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders) the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments, up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.13(j). Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to the prior sentence, the occurrence of the Maturity Date with respect to Existing Revolving Loans shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders of Extended Revolving Loans in any Letter of Credit issued before the Maturity Date.

2.14. Settlement Amongst Lenders.

(a) The Swingline Lenders may, at any time (but, in any event shall weekly, or such other time as determined by the Administrative Agent), on behalf of the Lead Borrower and the Canadian Borrower (which hereby authorize the applicable Swingline Lenders to act on their behalf in that regard) request the Administrative Agent to cause the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be a U.S. Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Loan, as applicable) in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of applicable Swingline Loans, which request may be made regardless of whether the conditions

-72-

set forth in Section 7 have been satisfied. Upon such request, each applicable Revolving Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender. If such Swingline Lender requires a Revolving Loan to be made by the applicable Revolving Lenders and the request therefor is received prior to 12:00 (noon) on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if the request therefor is received after 12:00 (noon), then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each such Revolving Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Swingline Lender. If and to the extent any Revolving Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(b) The amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of outstanding Revolving Loans (including outstanding Swingline Loans) shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) and repayments of Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) received by the Administrative Agent as of 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the end of the period specified by the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, (i) the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender its applicable Pro Rata Percentage of repayments, and (ii) each Lender shall transfer to the Administrative Agent (as provided below) or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Revolving Loans made by each Lender with respect to Revolving Loans to the Borrowers (including Swingline Loans) shall be equal to such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Percentage of Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and is received prior to 12:00 (noon) on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if received after 12:00 (noon), then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate (for Dollars) or the Bank of Canada Overnight Rate (for Canadian Dollars).

2.15. Revolving Commitment Increase.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, after the Closing Date, the Lead Borrower shall have the right to request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, an increase in the Revolving Commitments under the applicable Subfacility (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $750,000,000; provided that (i) any Revolving Commitment Increase for such Subfacility shall be on the terms (including the Latest Maturity Date of any Class of Commitments under such Subfacility) and pursuant to the documentation applicable to such Subfacility, (ii) the Lead Borrower shall only be permitted to request five (5) Revolving Commitment Increases during the term of this Agreement and (b) any Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 or, if less than $50,000,000 is available, the amount left available.

(b) Each notice submitted pursuant to this Section 2.15 (a “Revolving Commitment Increase Notice”) requesting a Revolving Commitment Increase shall specify the amount of the increase in the Revolving Commitments being requested. Upon receipt of a Revolving Commitment Increase Notice, the Administrative Agent may (at the direction of the Lead Borrower) promptly notify the applicable Revolving Lenders and each such Revolving Lender may (subject to the Lead Borrower’s consent) have the right to elect to have its Revolving Commitment increased by its Pro Rata Share under the applicable Subfacility (it being understood and agreed that a Lender may elect to have its Revolving Commitment increased in excess of its Pro Rata Share in its discretion if any other Lender declines to participate in the Revolving Commitment Increase) of the requested increase in Revolving Commitments;

provided that (i) each Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to have its Revolving Commitment increased in connection with any requested Revolving Commitment Increase, it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Commitment unless it, in its sole discretion, so agrees and, if a Lender fails to respond to any Revolving Commitment Increase Notice within five (5) Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of such request, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to participate in such Revolving Commitment Increase; (ii) if any Lender declines to participate in any Revolving Commitment Increase and, as a result, commitments from additional financial institutions are required in connection with the Revolving Commitment Increase, any Person or Persons providing such commitment shall be subject to the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), if such consent would be required pursuant to the definition of “Eligible Transferee”; (iii) in no event shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to participate in such Revolving Commitment Increase and (iv) no Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be required to act in such capacity under the Revolving Commitment Increase without its prior written consent. In the event that any Lender or other Person agrees to participate in any Revolving Commitment Increase (each an “Increase Loan Lender”), such Revolving Commitment Increase shall become effective on such date as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Increase Loan Lenders and the Lead Borrower, which date shall be as soon as practicable after the date of receipt of the Revolving Commitment Increase Notice (such date, the “Increase Date”); provided that the establishment of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (1) no Default or Event of Default would exist after giving effect thereto except that the Lenders providing such Revolving Commitment Increase the proceeds of which are to be used primarily to finance a Permitted Acquisition shall waive this requirement as part of customary “sungard” limitations; (2) the Revolving Commitment Increase shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements executed and delivered by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Increase Loan Lenders, each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Increase Loan Lenders; (3) Credit Parties shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent such amendments to the Credit Documents, legal opinions and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with any such transaction, which amendments, legal opinions and other documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (4) the representations and warranties contained in Section 8 shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects to the extent that any representation or warranty is qualified by materiality) as of the Increase Date except that the Lenders providing such Revolving Commitment Increase the proceeds of which are to be used primarily to finance a Permitted Acquisition may agree to limit this requirement to certain of the representations and warranties; and (5) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders such additional fees as may be agreed to be paid by the Borrowers in connection therewith.

(c) On the Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.15, (i) the Administrative Agent shall effect a settlement of all outstanding Revolving Loans among the Lenders that will reflect the adjustments to the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders as a result of the Revolving Commitment Increase, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and Credit Parties of the occurrence of the Revolving Commitment Increase to be effected on the Increase Date, (iii) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Revolving Commitments of the affected Lenders and (iv) Notes will be issued, at the expense of the Borrowers, to any Lender participating in the Revolving Commitment Increase and requesting a Note.

(d) Except as set forth in clause (e) below, the terms and provisions of the Revolving Commitment Increase shall be identical to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitments and, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, all Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the rate of interest applicable to the Revolving Commitment Increase shall be the same as the rate of interest applicable to the existing Revolving Loans, (ii) unused line fees applicable to the Revolving Commitment Increase shall be calculated using the same Unused Line Fee Rates applicable to the existing Revolving Loans, (iii) the Revolving Commitment Increase shall share ratably in any mandatory prepayments of the Revolving Loans, (iv) after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increases, Revolving Commitments shall be reduced based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage, and (v) the Revolving Commitment Increase shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the existing Revolving Loans. Each joinder agreement and any amendment to any Credit Document requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the establishment of the Revolving Commitment Increase may, without the consent of any of the Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement (an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Agreement”) and the other Credit Documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15.

-74-

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to $75,000,000 of a Revolving Commitment Increase permitted pursuant to this Section 2.15 may be in the form of a “first-in, last-out” tranche so long as such “first-in, last-out” tranche is established within 18 months of the Closing Date; provided that the aggregate amount of any such “first-in, last-out” tranche plus the aggregate amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 10.04(viii) shall not exceed $115,000,000. Revolving Commitment Increase Notice will stipulate that all or a portion of such Revolving Commitment Increase will be a “first-in, last-out” tranche, as well as the terms and conditions of such “first-in, last-out” tranche, that shall be customary for such type of tranche in the Lead Borrower’s reasonable determination and otherwise will be agreed between the Lead Borrower and the Lenders providing the “first-in, last-out” tranche subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided that such “first-in, last-out” tranche will have a term of 3 years and shall not amortize during the first year. Any such “first-in, last-out” tranche shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender providing the “first-in, last-out” tranche (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender).

2.16. Lead Borrower. Each Borrower hereby designates the Lead Borrower as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Credit Documents, including requests for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Credit Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender. The Lead Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any Notice of Borrowing) delivered by the Lead Borrower on behalf of any Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Lead Borrower on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Lead Borrower for any or all purposes under the Credit Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the Lead Borrower shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

2.17. Overadvances. If (i) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Loans outstanding exceed the U.S. Line Cap, (ii) the aggregate Canadian Revolving Loans outstanding exceed the Canadian Line Cap or (iii) the aggregate Revolving Loans outstanding exceed the Line Cap (each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), an “Overadvance”), in each case, at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by the applicable Borrowers on demand by the Administrative Agent, but all such Revolving Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Applicable Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent may require Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to the Administrative Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Overadvances and Protective Advances is not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base, (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (i) is not increased by more than $500,000, and (ii) does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause (i) the aggregate outstanding U.S. Revolving Loans and U.S. LC Obligations to exceed the aggregate U.S. Revolving Commitments, (ii) the aggregate outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans and Canadian LC Obligations to exceed the aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments or (iii) the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Obligations to exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. The making of any Overadvance shall not create nor constitute a Default or Event of Default; it being understood that the making or continuance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of then existing Event of Default. In no event shall any Borrower or other Credit Party be permitted to require any Overadvance Loan to be made. Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Overadvance Loans by written notice to the Administrative Agent. Absent such revocation, the Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of an Overadvance Loan is appropriate shall be conclusive.

2.18. Protective Advances. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, following notice to and consultation with the Lead Borrower, at any time, to make U.S. Base Rate Loans to the U.S. Borrowers (each such loan, a “U.S. Protective Advance”) and Canadian Prime Loans (through its Canada branch or Canadian lending office) to the Canadian Borrower (each such Loan, a “Canadian Protective Advance” and together with the

-75-

U.S. Protective Advances, “Protective Advances”) (a) (i) in an aggregate amount, together with the aggregate amount of all Overadvance Loans, not to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base, (ii) in an aggregate amount, together with the aggregate amount of Overadvance Loans under the U.S. Subfacility, not to exceed 10% of the U.S. Borrowing Base and (iii) in an aggregate amount, together with the aggregate amount of Overadvance Loans under the Canadian Subfacility, not to exceed 10% of the Canadian Borrowing Base, if the Administrative Agent deems such Protective Advances necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Applicable Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of the Obligations under such Subfacility; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Credit Parties under any Credit Documents, including costs, fees and expenses; provided that, (i) the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus the outstanding amount of Revolving Loans and LC Obligations shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount of outstanding U.S. Protective Advances plus the outstanding amount of U.S. Revolving Loans and U.S. LC Obligations shall not exceed the aggregate U.S. Revolving Commitments and (iii) the aggregate amount of outstanding Canadian Protective Advances plus the outstanding amount of Canadian Revolving Loans and Canadian LC Obligations shall not exceed the aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments. Each applicable Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage. Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to the Administrative Agent. Absent such revocation, the Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. The Administrative Agent may use the proceeds of such Protective Advances to (a) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Applicable Collateral; or (b) defend or maintain the validity or priority of the Collateral Agent’s Liens on any Applicable Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien; provided that the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Lead Borrower after paying any such amount or taking any such action and shall not make payment of any item that is being Properly Contested.

2.19. Extended Loans.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.19, the Lead Borrower may at any time and from time to time when no Event of Default then exists request that all or a portion of the Revolving Loans under any Subfacility (the “Existing Revolving Loans”), together with any related outstandings, be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or any portion of the principal amount (and related outstandings) of such Revolving Loans (any such Revolving Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Revolving Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.19. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Loans, the Lead Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders) (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and (y) be identical to the Existing Revolving Loans, except that: (i) repayments of principal of the Extended Revolving Loans may be delayed to later dates than the Maturity Date; (ii) the Effective Yield with respect to the Extended Revolving Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield for the Existing Revolving Loans to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; and (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Loans); provided, however, that (A) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Loans at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than then Maturity Date of any other Revolving Loans hereunder and (B) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Revolving Loans at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any other Revolving Loans then outstanding. Any Extended Revolving Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, an “Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Loans, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Loans converted from Existing Revolving Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such Revolving Loans.

(b) With respect to any Extended Revolving Loans, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12(e) and 2.13(o), to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after the Maturity Date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments and/or Extended Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of

-76-

the Aggregate Commitments under each Subfacility (and, except as provided in Sections 2.12(e) and 2.13(o), without giving effect to changes thereto on the Maturity Date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings under the Aggregate Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings) and (y) repayments required upon any Maturity Date of any Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Loan Commitments).

(c) The Lead Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Revolving Loans are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.19. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Revolving Loans converted into Extended Revolving Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (each, an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Revolving Loans subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Revolving Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Existing Revolving Loans which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Revolving Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). Any Lender that does not respond to the Extension Request on or prior to the date specified therein shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Request. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Existing Revolving Loans subject to Extension Elections relating to a particular Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Revolving Loans requested pursuant to such Extension Request, Revolving Loans subject to such Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans included in each such Extension Elections or to the extent such option is expressly set forth in the respective Extension Request, the Lead Borrower shall have the option to increase the amount of Extended Revolving Loans so that such excess does not exist.

(d) Extended Revolving Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Lender providing Extended Revolving Loans thereunder which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.19(a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment.

(e) With respect to any extension consummated by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) such extension shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement, (ii) with respect to Extended Revolving Loan Commitments, if the aggregate amount extended is less than (A) the LC Commitment, the LC Commitment shall be reduced upon the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (to the extent needed so that the LC Commitment does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitment which would be in effect after the Maturity Date) and, if applicable, each applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize obligations under any issued Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the stated amount of such Letters of Credit, or (B) the Swingline Commitment, the Swingline Commitment shall be reduced upon the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (to the extent needed so that the Swingline Commitment does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitment which would be in effect after the Maturity Date) and, if applicable, each applicable Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swingline Loans. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to each extension and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest or fees in respect of any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.19, provided that such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of the Extension Request.

(f) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of any Extended Revolving Loans incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.19, and (iii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the

-77-

Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.19 and, if the Administrative Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrowers in accordance with any instructions actually received by such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrowers unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such amendments entered into with the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders.

2.20. Adjustment of Revolver Commitments.

(a) The Lead Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders increase or decrease the Canadian Subfacility (a “Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment”), which request shall be granted by each Lender electing to participate in such Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment (subject to the last sentence of this clause (a)) provided that each of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) only four Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustments may be made in any fiscal year, (ii) a Borrowing Base Certificate contemplated by Section 9.17(a) shall be concurrently delivered for the most recently ended month, (iii) the written request for a Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment must be received by the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of the effectiveness of such Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment (such date of effectiveness, the “Commitment Adjustment Date”), (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such request or both immediately before and after giving effect thereto as of the Commitment Adjustment Date, (v) any increase in the Canadian Subfacility shall result in a Dollar-for-Dollar decrease in the U.S. Subfacility pursuant to this Section 2.20, and any decrease in the Canadian Subfacility pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall result in a Dollar-for-Dollar increase in the U.S. Subfacility, (vi) in no event shall the Revolving Commitments exceed $1,000,000,000 (or such greater amount resulting from the provisions of Section 2.15), (vii) no Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, an Overadvance would exist as determined according to the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to clause (ii), and (viii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Lead Borrower dated as of the Commitment Adjustment Date certifying the satisfaction of all such conditions (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any such Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall concurrently increase or reduce, as applicable, (1) the aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments available for use under the Canadian Subfacility on a basis allocated by the Administrative Agent following discussion with each Lender as to their desire to participate in such Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment (which allocation may vary from each such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the amount to be reallocated) and (2) the aggregate U.S. Revolving Commitments available for use under the U.S. Subfacility then in effect among the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s increase or decrease in Canadian Revolving Commitments pursuant to clause (1). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to have its Revolving Commitment reallocated in connection with any requested Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment, it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to reallocate its Revolving Commitment unless it, in its sole discretion, so agrees and, if a Lender fails to respond to any request for a Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment within five (5) Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of such request, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to participate in such Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment, (ii) in no event shall a Lender’s aggregate Commitment be increased or reduced without its explicit consent and (iii) the Aggregate Commitments shall not increase solely as a result of a Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Lenders of any request for a Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment made by the Lead Borrower. If the conditions set forth in clause (a) above are not satisfied on the applicable Commitment Adjustment Date (or, to the extent such conditions relate to an earlier date, such earlier date), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower in writing that the requested Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment will not be effectuated; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely (without liability) on the certificate delivered by the Lead Borrower pursuant to clause (a) (viii) immediately above in making its determination as to the satisfaction of such conditions. On each

-78-

Commitment Adjustment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Lead Borrower, on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York time), by telecopier, e-mail or telex, of the occurrence of the Canadian Revolver Commitment Adjustment to be effected on such Commitment Adjustment Date, the amount of Revolving Loans held by each Lender as a result thereof, the amount of the Revolving Commitment of each Lender available for use under the U.S. Subfacility and the amount of the Revolving Commitment of each Lender available for use under the Canadian Subfacility (and the percentage of each Revolving Loan that each participant must purchase a participation interest in) as a result thereof.

Section 3. Yield Protection, Illegality and Replacement of Lenders.

3.01. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market or Canadian interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate or Canadian B/A Rate;

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan because of any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the official interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, official guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (A) any additional Tax imposed on any Lender (except Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 5.01 or any Excluded Taxes) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the LIBOR Rate or Canadian B/A Rate, as applicable; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loans has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market or the Canadian interbank market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice in writing to the Lead Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the applicable Borrowers, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, each U.S. Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees to pay, and the Canadian Borrower agrees to pay, as applicable, to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice setting forth the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, shall be submitted to the Lead Borrower by such Lender and shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto), (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.01(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

-79-

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.01(a)(ii), the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, may, and in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan or a B/A Equivalent Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.01(a)(iii), the Lead Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall, on its own behalf or on behalf of the relevant Borrower either (x) if the affected LIBOR Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice on the same date that the Lead Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected LIBOR Rate Loan or B/A Equivalent Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such LIBOR Rate Loan into a U.S. Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan, as applicable, or such B/A Equivalent Loan into a Canadian Prime Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.01(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Closing Date the introduction of or any change in any Applicable Law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then each applicable Borrower, (jointly and severally as regards to the U.S. Borrowers), agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital or liquidity. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 3.01(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Lead Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III ((x) and (y) collectively referred to as “Xxxx-Xxxxx and Basel III”), shall be deemed to be a change after the Closing Date in a Requirement of Law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 3.01).

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Lead Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.02. Compensation.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 3.04, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 3.04 and Section 13.04.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or B/A Equivalent Loans, as applicable, in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended, (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR Rate component of the U.S. Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR Rate component in determining the U.S. Base Rate and the Canadian Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice and (z) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Canadian B/A Rate component of the Canadian Prime Rate, the utilization of the Canadian B/A Rate component in determining the Canadian Prime Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01(e), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Credit Party pursuant to this Section 5.01(e) to the extent that such payment would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 5.01(e) shall be construed to obligate the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose its Tax returns or any other information regarding its Tax affairs or computations to any Person or otherwise to arrange its Tax affairs in any manner other than as it determines in its sole discretion.

All Payment Items received by any Borrower or any Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, in respect of its Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by such Borrower or Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, as trustee of an express trust for the Collateral Agent’s benefit; such Borrower or such Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall immediately deposit same in kind in the applicable Dominion Account for application to the applicable Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Agents retain the right at all times that an Event of Default exists to notify Account Debtors of any Borrower or Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor that Accounts have been assigned to Agents and to collect Accounts directly in the Agents’ own name and to charge to the Borrowers or the Canadian Credit Parties, as applicable, the collection costs and expenses incurred by the applicable Agent or Lenders, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Liquidity Period, all monies properly deposited in the U.S. Payment Account shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments of U.S. Revolving Loans and applied in accordance with Section 2.09 to reduce outstanding U.S. Revolving Loans and all monies properly deposited in the Canadian Payment Account shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments of Canadian Revolving Loans and applied in accordance with Section 2.09 to reduce outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans.

Each Credit Party shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than the Agents, the Notes Collateral Agent and the applicable depositary bank) to have control over or a perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on a Deposit Account or any deposits or other assets therein. The Lead Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account (other than any Excluded Deposit Accounts) and deliver a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account in accordance herewith and with the applicable Security Agreement.

(f) Discounts, Disputes and Returns. If any Borrower or Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, grants any discounts, allowances or credits that are not shown on the face of the invoice for the Account involved, such Borrower or Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall report such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be to the Administrative Agent as, part of the next required Schedule of Accounts. If any amounts due and owing in excess of $1,000,000 are in dispute between any Borrower or Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, and any Account Debtor, or if any returns are made in excess of $1,000,000 with respect to any Accounts owing from an Account Debtor, such Borrower or Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice thereof at the time of submission of the next Schedule of Accounts, explaining in detail the reason for the dispute or return, all claims related thereto and the amount in controversy. At any time an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to settle or adjust all disputes and claims directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of any Accounts comprising a part of the Collateral upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs and expenses thereof, including attorneys’ fees, to the applicable Borrowers and Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors.

-104-

(h) Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of the Administrative Agent, any designee of the Administrative Agent, any Borrower or any Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of such Borrower or Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. The Borrowers and the Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors shall cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process. Unless a Default or Event of Default exists, such verifications shall be done in the name of a fictitious company.

(i) Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower and Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor shall keep accurate and complete records of its Inventory and shall furnish the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Lenders inventory reports respecting such Inventory in form and detail satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Lenders with each delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate that requires the calculation of subclause (b)(x) from the definitions of Canadian Borrowing Base and U.S. Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 9.17(a). Each Borrower and each Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor shall, at its own expense, conduct a physical inventory no less frequently than annually and periodic cycle counts consistent with such Borrower’s or such Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor’s historical practices and shall provide to the Administrative Agent and Lenders a report based on each such physical inventory and cycle count promptly after completion thereof, together with such supporting information as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall request. The Administrative Agent may participate in and observe each physical count of inventory, which participation shall be at the Borrowers’ expense at any time that an Event of Default exists.

(j) Returns of Inventory. No Borrower or any Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor shall return any of its Inventory to a supplier or vendor thereof, or any other Person, whether for cash, credit against future purchases or then existing payables, or otherwise, unless (i) such return is in the ordinary course of business of such Borrower or such Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, and such Person; (ii) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom; (iii) such Borrower or Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, promptly notifies the Administrative Agent thereof if the aggregate Value of all Inventory returned in any month exceeds $25,000,000; and (v) when a Liquidity Period has occurred and is continuing, any payments received by such Borrower or such Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, in connection with any such return are promptly turned over to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(k) Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

(i) Each Borrower and the Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, shall maintain and pay for insurance upon all Collateral, wherever located, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, theft, malicious mischief, and such other risks in such amounts and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Schedule 9.17(k) describes all such insurance of the Borrowers and the Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors in effect on the Closing Date, which the Lenders acknowledge are satisfactory as of the Closing Date. All proceeds payable to the Borrowers or the Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, under each such policy shall be payable to the applicable Agent for application to the Obligations, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 9.17(k)(ii) hereof. Each policy of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (or if not available in the case of non-payment of premium, ten (10) days’) to the Collateral Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause specifying that the interest of the Collateral Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower or Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, or the owner of the property or by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. Each endorsement shall designate the Collateral Agent as loss payee or additional insured, as applicable. If any Borrower or Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, fails to provide and pay for such insurance, the Collateral Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the same and charge the applicable Borrowers therefor. Each Borrower agrees to deliver to the Collateral Agent, upon the request of such Agent, true copies of all material reports made in any reporting forms to insurance companies. As long as no Event of Default exists, each Borrower and any Canadian Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the right to settle, adjust and compromise any claim with respect to any insurance maintained by such Borrower; provided that all proceeds thereof are applied in the manner specified in this Agreement, and the Collateral Agent agrees promptly to provide any necessary endorsement to any checks or drafts issued in payment of any such claim. At any time that an Event of Default exists, only the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, and the Collateral Agent shall have all rights and remedies with respect to such policies of insurance as are provided for in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

-105-

(ii) If a Liquidity Period is in effect, any proceeds of insurance referred to in this Section 9.17(k) and any condemnation or expropriation awards in connection with a condemnation or expropriation of any of the Collateral shall be paid to the Collateral Agent in an amount equal to the pro rata portion of such proceeds based on the relative value of the Collateral subject to the applicable loss, condemnation or expropriation as compared to the value of all other assets of the Borrowers and the Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, subject to such loss, condemnation or expropriation (measured as of the date of such event) and applied to the payment of the U.S. Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans, as applicable, and then to any other Obligations outstanding; provided, however, that if an Event of Default exists on the date of the Collateral Agent’s receipt thereof, the Collateral Agent may apply such proceeds to the Obligations in such order of application that is not inconsistent with Section 11.11.

(l) Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes imposed under any Applicable Law on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof, and all other payments required to be made by the Collateral Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral shall be borne and paid by the applicable Borrowers and the Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable. No Agent shall be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in such Agent’s actual possession or control) or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers’ or the Canadian Subsidiary Guarantors’, as applicable, sole risk.

9.18. Landlord and Storage Agreements. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Credit Parties shall provide the Administrative Agent with copies of all existing agreements, and promptly after execution thereof provide the Administrative Agent with copies of all future agreements, between any Credit Party and any landlord, warehouseman or bailee which owns any premises at which any Collateral in excess of $150,000 of value may, from time to time, be kept.

Section 10. Negative Covenants. The Lead Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary (and Holdings in the case of Section 10.09(c)) hereby covenant and agree that on and after the Closing Date and so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, any Loan or other Obligation hereunder (other than (i) any indemnification obligations arising hereunder which are not then due and payable and shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied and (ii) Secured Bank Product Obligations) or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (unless Cash Collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent):

Tenth, the balance, if any, as required by the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or, in the absence of any such requirement, to the Person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Credit Party or its successors or assigns).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any amounts received from a Canadian Credit Party be applied to any such amounts with respect to the U.S. Subfacility.

Amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Sixth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. Amounts distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of the maximum Secured Bank Product Obligations last reported to the Administrative Agent or the actual Secured Bank Product Obligations as calculated by the methodology reported to the Administrative Agent for determining the amount due. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Creditor. If a Secured Creditor fails to deliver such calculation within five days following request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is zero.

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses First through Ninth of this Section 11.11(a), the Credit Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, this Section 11.11 is subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement.

Eighteenth, the balance, if any, as required by the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or, in the absence of any such requirement, to the Person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Credit Party or its successors or assigns); and

(c) any proceeds of Canadian Collateral received by the Administrative Agent shall be applied ratably in the order specified in clauses Eighth through Thirteenth and Fifteenth through Seventeenth.

Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Credit Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section.

For the avoidance of doubt, none of the U.S. Obligations shall be paid with the proceeds, if any, of U.S. Collateral that constitute more than 65% of the voting Equity Interests of any first-tier Foreign Subsidiary, which proceeds, if any, will only be applied to the Canadian Obligations as provided herein.

Section 12. The Administrative Agent.

12.01. Appointment and Authorization.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints (i) Bank of America, N.A. as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for such Lender, (ii) Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of Montreal and PNC Bank, National Association as Co-Documentation Agents for such Lender, (iii) Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, as Joint Lead Arrangers for such Lender and (iv) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association as Syndication Agent for such Lender, each to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein. None of the Agents (other than the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) shall have any rights, powers, obligations, liabilities, responsibilities or duties under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender, a Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder. The Agents shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Agents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Credit Documents with reference to the Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

-132-

(b) Each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a Secured Bank Product Provider) hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the Lender Loss Sharing Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the 2015 Intercreditor Agreement (upon the refinancing of the Secured Notes), any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and any respective amendments thereto on behalf of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Lenders hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to bind each Lender to the actions required by such Lender under the terms of the Lender Loss Sharing Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) The provisions of this Section 12 (other than Sections 12.09 and 12.11) are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

12.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their duties under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of such the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.03. Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent-Related Person shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein, (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Credit Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for any failure of any Credit Party or any other party to any Credit Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or (c) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that such Agent-Related Person is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof.

12.04. Reliance by the Agents.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Credit Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

-133-

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 6, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

12.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Lead Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 11; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

12.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

12.07. Indemnification of the Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent (and its officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys in fact which are acting on behalf of the such Agent) (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any Credit Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent (and its officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys in fact which are acting on behalf of such Agent) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent (and its officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys in fact which are acting on behalf of such Agent) of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s (and its officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys in fact which are acting on behalf such Agent) own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by

-134-

such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Agents.

12.08. Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Bank of America, N.A. and its Affiliates and branches may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates or branches as though Bank of America, N.A. was not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America, N.A. or its Affiliates or branches may receive information regarding any Credit Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Credit Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America, N.A. in its individual capacity.

12.09. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Lead Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 11.01 or 11.05 (which consent of the Lead Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and with the consent of the Lead Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 11.01 or 11.05, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders; provided that any such successor administrative agent shall be either a domestic office of a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, or a United States branch of a bank that is organized under the laws of another jurisdiction, in either case which has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring the Administrative Agent and the term “the Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring the Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 and Section 13.01 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring the Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

(b) Any resignation by Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent pursuant to this Section 12.09 shall also constitute its resignation as lender of the Swingline Loans to the extent that Bank of America, N.A. is acting in such capacity at such time. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring lender of the Swingline Loans and (ii) the retiring lender of the Swingline Loans shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents.

12.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

-135-

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 13.01) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 13.01.

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

12.11. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the Issuing Banks irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable,

(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document (A) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement obligations not yet due and payable and (ii) Secured Bank Product Obligations not due and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (unless Cash Collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), (B) that is sold or to be sold to a Person that is not a Credit Party as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or (C) subject to Section 13.12, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(ii) at the request of the Lead Borrower, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 10.01(vi), (vii) and (xiv) but only to the extent such sections permit such Lien to be prior to the Liens held by the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents and such Collateral is not included in the Borrowing Base at such time; and

(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Credit Party Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Credit Party Guaranty pursuant to this Section 12.11.

12.12. Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Bank Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to the Administrative Agent of such agreement, agrees to be bound by this Section 12. Each such Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent-Related Persons, to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties, against all claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent-Related Person in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations.

-136-

12.13. Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Credit Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender) and other Agent hereby irrevocably appoint and authorize the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Agent for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this capacity, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any agent, employee or attorney-in-fact appointed by the “collateral agent” pursuant to Section 12.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the “collateral agent”), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 12 and Section 13 as though such agent, employee or attorney-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Credit Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lenders to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by a Credit Party, or is cared for, protected, insured or encumbered, nor to assure that such Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.

12.14. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable laws (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Credit Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 5.01, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.14. The agreements in this Section 12.14 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.14, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender.

12.15. Quebec Liens (Hypothecs). Without limiting the provisions of Section 12.13, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of any Obligations of any Credit Party, each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Collateral Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative (i.e., “fondé de pouvoir”) of the creditors as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec of and for all present and future Secured Creditors. The Collateral Agent, in its capacity as hypothecary representative, shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, the terms of the applicable deed of hypothec or pledge agreement to which it is a party or the Applicable Laws, all rights and remedies given to the Collateral Agent pursuant to any such deed of hypothec, pledge agreement and Applicable Laws, and (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Collateral Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured Creditors. Any person who becomes a Secured Creditor shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (and, in the case of Secured Bank Product Providers, by virtue of the actions taken pursuant to Section 12.12), be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Collateral Agent as the hypothecary representative as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Creditor, all actions taken by the Collateral Agent. The substitution of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12 also constitute the substitution of the Collateral Agent as hypothecary representative as aforesaid. The execution, prior to this Agreement, of any deed of hypothec, pledge agreement or any other Security Document by the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as hypothecary representative, is hereby ratified and confirmed.

-137-

12.16. Reports. Each Lender agrees (a) that no Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any field audit, examination or appraisal (each a “Report”), and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (b) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that the Agents or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon the Credit Parties’ books and records as well as upon representations of the Credit Parties’ officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Obligations. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agents and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as any claims arising in connection with the any third parties that obtain any part or contents of a Report through such Lender.

(a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, in whatever currency) (other than accounts used exclusively for payroll, payroll taxes, fiduciary and trust purposes, and employee benefits) and any other Indebtedness (in whatever currency) at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Lead Borrower or any Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.04(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Borrower or Holdings may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

13.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations, etc.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders and any assignment made in contravention of this Section 13.04(a) shall be absolutely void and, provided, further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participation in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder) except as provided in Sections 3.04 and 13.04(b) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Revolving Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory repayment of any Revolving Loan shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Revolving Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) modify any of the voting percentages set forth in Section 13.12 or the underlying definitions, (iv) except as otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all the Security Documents supporting the Revolving Loans in which such participant is participating or (v) except as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, release all or substantially all of the value of the Credit Party Guaranty supporting the Loans in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not be a natural Person) shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto). Each Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 5.01 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Sections 3.03 and 3.04 and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.01(b) and Section 5.01(c) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a

-140-

Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided, however, that a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 5.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment results from a change in any requirement described in clause (ii) of the definition of “Requirement of Law” after the sale of the participation takes place. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Lead Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loan, or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrowers and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any Affiliate or branch of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this subclause (x)(i)(B)); provided that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender, or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default then exists under Section 11.01 or 11.05, the Lead Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (which Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall contain an acknowledgement and agreement by the respective assignee that, as a Lender, it shall be subject to, and bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrowers for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.04 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the (A) the Administrative Agent (B) the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Swingline Lender and (C) so long as no Event of Default then exists under Section 11.01 or 11.05, the consent of the Lead Borrower shall (in either case) be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (other than any such assignment by any Agent or any of its Affiliates prior to the Syndication Date) (which consents, in any such case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof, (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer or assignment shall be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15; provided, however, that unless waived in writing by the Administrative Agent, each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Revolving Loan and any related Revolving Commitments, including the obligations under each of the U.S. Subfacility and the Canadian Subfacility. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its

-141-

obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Revolving Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person that is not already a Lender hereunder, such assignee shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers such Tax forms as are required to be provided under clauses (b) and (c) of Section 5.01. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 3.04 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 3.01 from those being charged by the assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (d) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(e) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 13.04 applicable to it as a Lender hereunder.

13.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06. [Reserved].

13.07. Calculations; Computations.

(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto); provided that (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of the Applicable Margin, and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with Section 9.14, shall utilize U.S. GAAP and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the audited financial statements of Holdings referred to in Section 8.05(a) for the fiscal year of Holdings ended December 31, 2014 and, (ii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis; provided, further, that if the Lead Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Lead Borrower wishes to amend any financial covenant calculation or any financial definition used therein to implement the effect of any change in U.S. GAAP or the application thereof occurring after the Closing Date on the operation thereof (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend any financial covenant calculation or any financial definition used therein for such purpose), then the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend such financial covenant calculation or the definitions used therein (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such changes in U.S. GAAP; provided, further, that all determinations made pursuant to any applicable financial covenant calculation or any financial definition used therein shall be determined on the basis of U.S. GAAP as applied and in effect immediately before the relevant change in U.S. GAAP or the application thereof became effective, until such financial covenant

-142-

calculation or such financial definition is amended. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141R or ASC 805 (or any other financial accounting standard having a similar result or effect).

(b) The calculation of any financial ratios under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-down if there is no nearest number).

13.08. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the Credit Parties party hereto or thereto and the Required Lenders (although additional parties may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such additions) the Security Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof without the consent of the other Credit Parties party thereto or the Required Lenders), provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (i) without the prior written consent of each Lender (and Issuing Bank, if applicable) directly and adversely affected thereby, extend the final scheduled maturity of any Revolving Commitment, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon or reduce or forgive the principal amount thereof or forgive the payment of such interest or Fees (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute a reduction or extension of the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon of any Lender), (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all the Security Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iii) except as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, release all or substantially all of the value of the Credit Party Guaranty without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) amend, modify or waive any pro rata sharing provision of Section 2.10, the payment waterfall provision of Section 11.11, or any provision of this Section 13.12(a) (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Revolving Commitments on the Closing Date), in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) reduce the percentage specified in the definitions of Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, as applicable, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, as applicable, on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Revolving Commitments are included on the Closing Date), (vi) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each Lender; provided further that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of each Agent adversely affected thereby, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of such Agent, (3) without the consent of Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent, (4) without the consent of an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, (5) without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, change the definition of the terms “Availability,” “U.S. Borrowing Base,” “Canadian Borrowing Base” or “Borrowing Base” or any component definition used therein (including, without limitation, the definitions of “Eligible Accounts” and “Eligible Inventory”) if, as a result thereof, the amounts available to be borrowed by the Borrowers

-144-

would be increased; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Administrative Agent to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves or to add Accounts and Inventory acquired in a Permitted Acquisition to the Borrowing Base as provided herein, (6) without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, increase the percentages set forth in the term “Borrowing Base” or add any new classes of eligible assets thereto or (7) without the prior written consent of the Required Subfacility Lenders, adversely affect the rights of Lenders under such Subfacility in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Subfacilities; and provided, further, that only the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such tranche shall be necessary for amendments described in clause (e) of Section 2.15 relating to the “first-in, last-out” tranche.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Lead Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clauses (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 3.04 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitments and/or repay the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lender in accordance with Section 3.04, provided that, unless the Commitments that are terminated, and Revolving Loans repaid, pursuant to the preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided, further, that in any event the Lead Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitments or repay its Revolving Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) of this Section 13.12, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender providing the relevant Revolving Commitment Increase may (i), in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15, enter into an Incremental Revolving Commitment Agreement, and (ii) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19, enter into an Extension Amendment, provided that after the execution and delivery by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of clause (a) above of this Section 13.12.

If the purchased amount is less than the sum originally due, such Credit Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent and Lenders against such loss. If the purchased amount is greater than the sum originally due, the Administrative Agent shall return the excess amount to such Credit Party (or to the Person legally entitled thereto).

Section 14. Credit Party Guaranty.

14.01. The Guaranty. In order to induce the Agents, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, and to induce the other Guaranteed Creditors to enter into Secured Bank Product Obligations in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by each Credit Party from the proceeds of the Revolving Loans and the entering into of such Secured Bank Product Obligations, each Credit Party hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors as follows: each Credit Party hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of its Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of any Credit Party to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, such Credit Party, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. This Credit Party Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This Credit Party Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including any Relevant Guaranteed Party), then and in such event the respective Credit Party agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Credit Party, notwithstanding any revocation of this Credit Party Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, and each Credit Party shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

-149-

14.02. Bankruptcy. Additionally, each Credit Party unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of its Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Relevant Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 11.05, and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, in the currency in which the obligation was originally denominated.

14.03. Nature of Liability. The liability of each Credit Party hereunder is primary, absolute and unconditional, exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and each Credit Party understands and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted under law, that the liability of such Credit Party hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Relevant Guaranteed Party or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking (other than payment in cash of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations), or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Relevant Guaranteed Party, or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Relevant Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, winding up or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Credit Party waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction by the Guaranteed Creditors as contemplated in Section 14.05, or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or enforceability of all or any part of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor, or (h) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Credit Party or any other Person liable for any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, or (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, winding up or other debtor relief proceeding affecting any Credit Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Credit Party, or (j) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Credit Party may have at any time against any other Credit Party, a Guaranteed Creditor, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions, or (k) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Credit Party in respect of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or a Credit Party in respect of this Credit Party Guaranty or the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations.

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

14.05. Authorization. To the fullest extent permitted under law, each Credit Party authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand, and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

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

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

-150-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14.07. Subordination. Any indebtedness of any Relevant Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to any Credit Party is hereby subordinated to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of such Relevant Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Relevant Guaranteed Party to such Credit Party shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of such Relevant Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of any Credit Party under the other provisions of this Credit Party Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Party hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Credit Party Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

14.08. Waiver.

(a) Each Credit Party waives any right (except as shall be required by Applicable Law and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. For purposes of the law of the province of Quebec, if applicable, each Credit Party waives, in its capacity as a Guarantor, the benefits of division and discussion. Each Credit Party waives any defense (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) based on or arising out of any defense of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party other than

-151-

payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law and the Credit Documents), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Credit Party hereunder except to the extent the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Each Credit Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted under law, any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Credit Party against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

(b) Each Credit Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted under law, all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Credit Party Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Relevant Guaranteed Obligations.

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

14.10. Payments. All payments made by a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 14 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.06.

14.11. Keepwell. Each Credit Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Credit Party Guaranty or the grant of the security interest under the Credit Documents, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under this Credit Party Guaranty and the other Credit Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 14 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Canadian Credit Party or Excluded Subsidiary shall undertake to provide such funds or other support, or to guarantee the Swap Obligations of, any U.S. Credit Party. The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 14.11 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section 14.11 to constitute, and this Section 14.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

14.12. Information. Each Credit Party assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each applicable Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Credit Party assumes and incurs under this guarantee, and agrees that no Guaranteed Creditor shall have any duty to advise any Credit Party of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

14.13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
