(a) All payments by Borrowers of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars or Canadian Dollars (as applicable) in same day funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered by wire transfer to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders or to the Swingline Lender as set forth in Section 2.2(d); for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrowers on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to any proposed Credit Date of Eurodollar Rate Loans or CDOR Loans (or, in the case of any borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2 (or, in the case of a borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount.

Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing arrangement and agree that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrowers to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it or (c) any payment to an LC Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lenders of a reimbursement obligation in accordance with Section 2.3(c)(i) or Section 2.1(c), as applicable.

2.16 Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or CDOR Loans

(i) With respect to any Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments:

(1) if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or CDOR Loan:

a. (1) in the event that Administrative Agent (upon the written instruction of the Required Lenders) shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any ~~Eurodollar Rate Loans or CDOR Loans, that (1)~~ by reason of circumstances affecting the applicable interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate or CDOR Rate; or ~~(2)~~

b. ~~(1)~~ deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan or CDOR Loan, ~~Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrowers and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (x) no Loans may be made~~ ~~as, or converted to,~~ ~~Eurodollar Rate Loans or CDOR Loans and (y) in the event of a~~


		-82-		CREDIT AGREEMENT (PATTERN REVOLVER)

~~determination with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate or the CDOR Rate component of the Canadian Prime Rate, the utilization~~ ~~of the Eurodollar Rate or CDOR Rate~~ component in determining the Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (upon the written instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrowers may revoke any pending Borrowing Notice And Certificate or Conversion/Continuation Notice of Eurodollar Rate Loans or CDOR Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the amount specified therein; and

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Conversion/Continuation Notice that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurodollar Rate Loan or CDOR Loan shall be ineffective, and, such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, a Base Rate Loan; provided that (x) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Revolving Lenders, then requests by the Borrowers for Eurodollar Rate Loans or CDOR Loans may be made to Revolving Lenders that are not affected thereby and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Loan, then the other Type of Loan shall be permitted.

(2) if ~~at any time the~~ ~~Required Revolving Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the Eurodollar Rate shall cease to exist, then~~ ~~the Required Revolving Lenders~~ ~~and the Borrower~~ the Administrative Agent (i) determines that the circumstances described in clauses (a)(ii)(1)(a) or (a)(ii)(1)(b) of this Section 2.16 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) determines that the circumstances described in clauses (a)(ii)(1)(a) or (a)(ii)(1)(b) of this Section 2.16 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurodollar Rate or CDOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable, shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans or (iii) new syndicated loans have started to adopt a new benchmark interest rate, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate or CDOR Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes (including administrative changes) to this Agreement as may be applicable.; provided that to the extent that the


		-83-		CREDIT AGREEMENT (PATTERN REVOLVER)

Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market convention is not administratively feasible or that no market convention for the administration of such alternate rate of interest exists, the Administrative Agent shall administer such alternate rate of interest in a manner determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.5, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other Revolving Lender so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date an amendment incorporating such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Revolving Lenders, a written notice from the Required Revolving Lenders stating that such Required Revolving Lenders object to such amendment. If a notice of an alternate rate of interest has been given and no such alternate rate of interest has been determined, and (x) the circumstances under clause (i) or (iii) above exist or (y) the specific date referred to in clause (ii) has occurred (as applicable), the Base Rate shall apply without regard to clause (iii) of the definition thereof; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

(ii) With respect to any 2019 Incremental Term Loans:

(1) if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan:

a. by reason of circumstances affecting the applicable interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

b. deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan,

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Conversion/Continuation Notice that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be ineffective, and, such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, a Base Rate Loan; provided that (x) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lenders, then requests by the Borrowers for


		-84-		CREDIT AGREEMENT (PATTERN REVOLVER)

Eurodollar Rate Loans may be made to 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lenders that are not affected thereby and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Loan, then the other Type of Loan shall be permitted.

(2) if the Administrative Agent (i) determines that the circumstances described in clauses (a)(ii)(1)(a) or (a)(ii)(1)(b) of this Section 2.16 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) determines that the circumstances described in clauses (a)(ii)(1)(a) or (a)(ii)(1)(b) of this Section 2.16 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurodollar Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans or (iii) new syndicated loans have started to adopt a new benchmark interest rate, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes (including administrative changes) to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that to the extent that the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market convention is not administratively feasible or that no market convention for the administration of such alternate rate of interest exists, the Administrative Agent shall administer such alternate rate of interest in a manner determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.5, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lender so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date ~~notice of~~an amendment incorporating such alternate rate of interest is provided to the 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lenders, a written notice from the Required 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lenders stating that such Required 2019 Incremental Term Loan Lenders object to such amendment. If a notice of an alternate rate of interest has been given and no such alternate rate of interest has been determined, and (x) the circumstances under clause (i) or (iii) above exist or (y) the specific date referred to in clause (ii) has occurred (as applicable), the Base Rate shall apply without regard to clause (iii) of the definition thereof; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans or CDOR Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrowers and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or

(c) within 10 Business Days (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) after such formation or acquisition, deliver an amended Exhibit K to reflect the new Restricted Holding Company Subsidiary and any other Restricted Subsidiaries that are Subsidiaries thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with a transaction in which an entity listed on Exhibit K shall no longer be a Subsidiary of either Borrower, the Borrowers may deliver an updated Exhibit K, and at no point in time following the consummation of such transaction shall the covenants or other provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document apply to such entity because of its inclusion on Exhibit K as any type of Restricted Subsidiary.

5.10 Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries; Other Restricted Subsidiaries. Each Borrower and each Restricted Holding Company Subsidiary, as applicable, hereby make, on behalf of their Restricted Subsidiaries that are neither Restricted Holding Company Subsidiaries nor Restricted Operating Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, all representations and warranties in Section 4 made by (or on behalf of) the Restricted Holding Company Subsidiaries.

At any time or from time to time at the request of Administrative Agent, each Credit Party will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts, as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of the Credit Documents that do not involve material expansion of any Credit Party’s obligations or duties under the Credit Documents from those originally mutually intended or contemplated. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i) each Credit Party shall take such actions as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by the Collateral (subject to limitations contained in the Credit Documents); and (ii) in respect of any amalgamation of a Credit Party pursuant to any Governmental Rule of Canada, the resulting entity shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent such confirmations, evidence of registrations and opinions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

The parties hereto agree that the only consequence of the release of the Japan Guarantee shall be that for all Fiscal Quarters ended thereafter, “Available Cash” with respect to the Japan Guarantor shall no longer be permitted to be included as “Available Cash” for purposes of this Agreement. In connection with the implementation of a Japanese Guarantee, the Borrowers will reasonably cooperate with the Lenders to deliver information reasonably determined by the Lenders to be required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations (in each case, after reasonably request therefore by such Lender).

Each Project is in compliance with all Environmental Laws, and any past non-compliance with Environmental Law has been fully resolved without any pending, on-going or future obligation or cost, except to the extent that any such failure to comply or past non-compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party and each Restricted Operating Company Subsidiary has obtained, maintained and complied with all Governmental Authorizations necessary under any Environmental Law to own, construct, operate or maintain the Projects, and such Governmental Authorizations are in full force and effect and not subject to any pending or, to each Credit Party’s knowledge, threatened appeal or Environmental Claim, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

To each Credit Party’s knowledge, there are and have been no conditions or occurrences, including any Release, threatened Release, use, generation, storage, treatment, transportation, processing, disposal, removal or remediation of, or exposure to, Hazardous Materials, which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of any Environmental Claim against, or any Environmental Liability with respect to, any Credit Party or any Restricted Operating Company Subsidiary that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Compliance with all requirements of Environmental Law or, to each Credit Party’s knowledge, reasonably likely future requirements arising from existing Environmental Laws would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
