(b) Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) the applicable

(e) The applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.

(f) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to all Loans, other than Bankers’ Acceptance Advances.

(g) Funding of Bankers Acceptances.

(i) Subject to the limitations contained in Section 2.01(a)(i), Section 2.02(a)(ii), Section 2.02(b) and this Section 2.02(g), if the Canadian Administrative Agent receives from the Canadian Borrower a Loan Notice requesting a Bankers’ Acceptance Advance or an extension or conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a Bankers’ Acceptance Advance, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Canadian Revolving Lenders promptly on the third Business Day prior to the date of such requested borrowing of such request except that, if the Face Amount of a Bankers’ Acceptance or Acceptance Note which would otherwise be accepted or purchased by a Canadian Revolving Lender would not be in the amount of CAN$100,000, or an integral multiple thereof, such Face Amount shall be increased or reduced by the Canadian Administrative Agent in its sole and unfettered discretion to the nearest integral multiple of CAN$100,000. Each BA Lender or Acceptance Lender, as applicable, shall, not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the date of each Bankers’ Acceptance Advance under the Canadian Revolving Loan, subject to this Section 2.02(g) and Section 2.02(a)(ii), purchase Bankers’ Acceptances or Acceptance Notes of the Canadian Borrower which are presented to it for acceptance or purchase and which have an aggregate Face Amount equal to such BA Lender’s or Acceptance Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the total Bankers’ Acceptance Advance on such date. Concurrent with the acceptance or purchase of Bankers’ Acceptances or Acceptance Notes of the Canadian Borrower as aforesaid, each BA Lender or Acceptance Lender, as applicable, shall make available to the Canadian Administrative Agent its pro rata portion of the Notional BA Proceeds with respect to such Bankers’ Acceptance. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall, upon

fulfillment by the Canadian Borrower of the conditions set out in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as applicable, make such Notional BA Proceeds available to the Canadian Borrower on the date of such Bankers’ Acceptance Advance by wiring the funds available to the Canadian Administrative Agent by the Canadian Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Canadian Administrative Agent in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Canadian Administrative Agent by the Canadian Borrower.

(ii) Acceptance Fees. With respect to each draft and Acceptance Note of the Canadian Borrower accepted or issued pursuant hereto, the Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent on behalf of the Canadian Revolving Lenders, in advance, an acceptance fee denominated in Canadian Dollars calculated at the rate per annum, on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, equal to the BA Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Bankers’ Acceptance Advances on the Face Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance or the face amount of such Acceptance Note, as applicable for its term, being the actual number of days in the period commencing on the date of acceptance of the Canadian Borrower’s draft or date of issuance of such Acceptance Note and ending on, but excluding the maturity date of, the Bankers’ Acceptance or Acceptance Note. Such acceptance fees shall be paid by the Canadian Borrower by deduction of the amount thereof from what would otherwise be Notional BA Proceeds funded pursuant to Section 2.02(g).

(iii) Safekeeping of Drafts and Power of Attorney.

(A) The BA Lenders agree that, in respect of the safekeeping of executed drafts of the Canadian Borrower which are delivered to them for acceptance hereunder, they shall exercise the same degree of care that the BA Lenders give to their own property, provided that the BA Lenders shall not be deemed to be insurers thereof.

(B) To facilitate availment of Bankers’ Acceptances, the Canadian Borrower hereby appoints each BA Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf (in accordance with a Loan Notice relating to Bankers’ Acceptances) in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature, as and when deemed necessary by such BA Lender, blank forms of Bankers’ Acceptances in the form required by the applicable BA Lender. The Canadian Borrower recognizes and agrees that all Bankers’ Acceptances so signed or endorsed on its behalf by the a BA Lender shall bind the Canadian Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of the Canadian Borrower. The BA Lenders are hereby authorized (in accordance with a Loan Notice relating to Bankers’ Acceptances) to issue such Bankers’ Acceptances endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by them; provided that the aggregate amount thereof does not exceed the aggregate amount of Bankers’ Acceptances required to be accepted and purchased by such BA Lenders. Each BA Lender shall not be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable BA Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. The applicable BA Lender shall maintain a record with respect to Bankers’ Acceptances (a) received by it in blank hereunder, (b) voided by it for any reason, (c) accepted and purchased by it hereunder and (d) cancelled at their respective maturities.

(iv) Term and Interest Periods. The term of any Bankers’ Acceptance or Acceptance Note shall be specified in the draft and in the Loan Notice related thereto and the term of any Bankers’ Acceptance and the term of any Acceptance Note shall be for a BA Period, unless otherwise agreed to by the Canadian Administrative Agent. The term of each Bankers’ Acceptance or Acceptance Note shall mature on a Business Day. No Bankers’ Acceptance or Acceptance Note shall have a maturity date after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(v) Payment on Maturity. The Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of the BA Lenders or Acceptance Lenders, as applicable, on the maturity date of any Bankers’ Acceptance or Acceptance Note issued by the Canadian Borrower an amount equal to the Face Amount of such maturing Bankers’ Acceptance or the face amount of such Acceptance Note, as the case may be; provided that the Canadian Borrower may, at its option, so reimburse the BA Lenders or Acceptance Lenders, as applicable, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Canadian Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) three (3) Business Days’ prior to the maturity date of a maturing Bankers’ Acceptance or Acceptance Note, as the case may be, a Loan Notice specifying the term of the Bankers’ Acceptance or the Acceptance Note, as the case may be, and presenting a draft or Acceptance Note to the BA Lenders or Acceptance Lenders, as applicable for acceptance and purchase resulting, in the case of reimbursement in whole by replacement Bankers’ Acceptance or Acceptance Note, in the aggregate equal to the Face Amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptance or face amount of the maturing Acceptance Note. In the event that the Canadian Borrower fails to deliver a Loan Notice and fails to make payment to the Canadian Administrative Agent in respect of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptance Advance, the Face Amount of the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances and the face amount of any Acceptance Note forming part of such Bankers’ Acceptance Advance shall be deemed to be converted to a Canadian Revolving Loan accruing interest at the Base Rate on the relevant maturity date.

(vi) Waiver of Days of Grace. The Canadian Borrower renounces and shall not claim any days of grace for the payment of any Bankers’ Acceptance or Acceptance Notes.

(vii) Special Provisions Relating to Acceptance Notes.

(A) The Canadian Borrower and each Canadian Revolving Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that from time to time certain Canadian Revolving Lenders may not be authorized to or may, as a matter of general corporate policy, elect not to accept and purchase Bankers’ Acceptances, and the Canadian Borrower and each Canadian Revolving Lender agree that any such Canadian Revolving Lender may purchase Acceptance Notes of the Canadian Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(g)(vii)(B) in lieu of accepting and purchasing Bankers’ Acceptances for its account.

(B) In the event that any Canadian Revolving Lender described in Section 2.02(g)(vii)(A) above is unable to, or elects as a matter of general corporate policy not to, accept Bankers’ Acceptances hereunder, such Canadian Revolving Lender shall not be required to accept Bankers’ Acceptances hereunder, but rather, if the Canadian Borrower requests the acceptance of such

Bankers’ Acceptances, then the Canadian Borrower shall deliver to such BA Lender non-interest bearing promissory notes (each, an “Acceptance Note”) of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-5, having the same maturity as the Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted and in an aggregate face amount equal to the Face Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptances. Each such Acceptance Lender hereby agrees to purchase Acceptance Notes from the Canadian Borrower at a purchase price equal to the Notional BA Proceeds which would have been applicable if a Bankers’ Acceptance draft had been accepted by it and such Acceptance Notes shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 2.02(g) as if they were Bankers’ Acceptances.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Acceptance Lender otherwise notifies the Canadian Borrower in writing, in lieu of receiving delivery of Acceptance Notes, such Acceptance Notes shall be uncertificated and Acceptance Notes shall be evidenced by the account of the Canadian Revolving Lenders.

(viii) No Market. If the Canadian Administrative Agent determines in good faith and notifies the Canadian Borrower in writing that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Canadian money market, there is no market for Bankers’ Acceptances, then the right of the Canadian Borrower to request Bankers’ Acceptance Advances shall be suspended until the Canadian Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exists and the Canadian Administrative Agent so notifies the Canadian Borrower. In such circumstances, any Loan Notice for a Bankers’ Acceptance Advance which is outstanding shall be cancelled and the Bankers’ Acceptance Advance requested therein shall, at the option of the Canadian Borrower, either not be made or be made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(h) Collateralization of Bankers’ Acceptances. With respect to the prepayment or cash collateralization of unmatured Bankers’ Acceptances pursuant to Section 2.05 (it being acknowledged that any requirement to pay or prepay Bankers’ Acceptances prior to their maturity shall be construed as a requirement to provide cash collateral under this provision), the Canadian Borrower shall provide for the funding of such unmatured Bankers’ Acceptances by paying to and depositing in a collateral account on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Borrowers cash collateral for each such unmatured Bankers’ Acceptances in an amount equal to the principal amount at maturity of such Bankers’ Acceptances. Such collateral account shall be held by the Canadian Administrative Agent as security for the obligations of the Canadian Borrower in relation to such Bankers’ Acceptances and the security of the Canadian Administrative Agent thereby created shall rank in priority to all other Liens and adverse claims against such cash collateral. Such cash collateral shall be applied to satisfy pro tanto the obligations of the Canadian Borrower for such Bankers’ Acceptances as they mature and the Canadian Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the Canadian Borrower to apply any such cash collateral to such maturing Bankers’ Acceptances. Amounts held in such collateral account may not be withdrawn by the Canadian Borrower. If after maturity of the Bankers’ Acceptances for which such funds are held and application by the Canadian Administrative Agent of the amounts in such collateral accounts to satisfy the obligations of the Canadian Borrower hereunder with respect to the Bankers’ Acceptances being repaid, any excess remains, such excess together with any accrued interest thereon shall be promptly paid by the Canadian Administrative Agent to the Canadian Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing.

Domestic Letter of Credit Applications must be received by the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer and the Domestic Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Domestic Administrative Agent and the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed

issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Domestic Letter of Credit, such Domestic Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Domestic Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and requested currency thereof and in the absence of specification of currency shall be deemed a request for a Domestic Letter of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer may require. Canadian Letter of Credit Applications must be received by the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer and the Canadian Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Canadian Administrative Agent and the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit, such Canadian Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Canadian Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and requested currency thereof and in the absence of specification of currency shall be deemed a request for a Canadian Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the applicable Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable L/C Issuer or the applicable Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the applicable Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that such Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, the applicable L/C Issuer will provide such Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the applicable Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or one of its Subsidiaries) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Domestic Letter of Credit, each Domestic Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Domestic L/C

Issuer a risk participation in such Domestic Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Domestic Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Domestic Letter of Credit, and immediately upon the issuance of each Canadian Letter of Credit, each Canadian Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Canadian Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Canadian Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit.

(iii) If a Borrower so requests in a Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, a Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the applicable Administrative Agent that the Required Domestic Revolving Lenders or the Required Canadian Revolving Lenders, as applicable, have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Domestic Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Lender or either Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) If a Borrower so requests in a Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, no Borrower shall be required to make a specific request to the applicable L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Domestic Revolving Lenders or the Canadian Revolving Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the applicable L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day

that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the applicable Administrative Agent that the Required Domestic Revolving Lenders or the Required Canadian Revolving Lenders, as applicable, have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the applicable Administrative Agent, any Lender or the applicable Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

(v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) (A)  Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Domestic Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Domestic Letter of Credit, the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer shall notify GGC and the Domestic Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Domestic Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, GGC shall reimburse the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer in U.S. Dollars in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the applicable drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer under a Domestic Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Domestic Honor Date”), GGC shall reimburse the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer through the Domestic Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such drawing. If GGC fails to so reimburse the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer by such time (expressed in U.S. Dollars in the amount of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof), the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Domestic Administrative Agent of the Domestic Honor Date and the amount of the unreimbursed drawing shall become the unreimbursed amount (the “Domestic Unreimbursed Amount”). The Domestic Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Domestic Revolving Lender of the Domestic Honor Date, the Domestic Unreimbursed Amount, and the amount of such Domestic Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, GGC shall be deemed to have requested a Domestic Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Domestic Honor Date in an amount equal to the Domestic Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Domestic Revolving Borrowing, the Total Domestic Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments. Any notice given by the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer or the Domestic Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)(A) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(B) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Canadian Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Canadian Letter of Credit, the

applicable Canadian L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Canadian Administrative Agent thereof, including, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, both the Alternative Currency amount of such drawing and the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof. In the case of a Canadian Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer in Canadian Dollars; provided, that, the applicable Borrower may reimburse the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer in the applicable Alternative Currency if such reimbursement is received by the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer on the date drawing is paid by the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer. In the case of any such reimbursement in Canadian Dollars of a drawing under a Canadian Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower of the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of any payment by the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer under a Canadian Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Canadian Dollars, or 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer under a Canadian Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in U.S. Dollars (each such date, a “Canadian Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer through the Canadian Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer by such time, the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Canadian Administrative Agent of the Canadian Honor Date and the amount of the unreimbursed drawing shall become the unreimbursed amount (expressed in Canadian Dollars in the amount of the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Canadian Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Canadian Unreimbursed Amount”). The Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Canadian Revolving Lender of the Canadian Honor Date, the Canadian Unreimbursed Amount, and the amount of such Canadian Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Canadian Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Canadian Honor Date in an amount equal to the Canadian Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Canadian Revolving Borrowing, the Total Canadian Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments. Any notice given by the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer or the Canadian Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)(B) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) (A) Each Domestic Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(A) make funds available to the Domestic Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer, in U.S. Dollars, at the Domestic Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Domestic Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Domestic Administrative Agent,

whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii)(A), each Domestic Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to GGC in such amount. The Domestic Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer in U.S. Dollars.

(B) Each Canadian Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(B) make funds available to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer, in Canadian Dollars, at the Canadian Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Canadian Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Canadian Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii)(B), each Canadian Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer in Canadian Dollars.

(iii) (A)  With respect to any Domestic Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Domestic Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, GGC shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer a Domestic L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Domestic Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Domestic L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Domestic Revolving Lender’s payment to the Domestic Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Domestic L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Domestic L/C Borrowing and shall constitute a Domestic L/C Advance from such Domestic Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(B) With respect to any Canadian Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Canadian Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer a Canadian L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Canadian Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Canadian L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Canadian Revolving Lender’s payment to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)(B) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Canadian L/C Borrowing and shall constitute a Canadian L/C Advance from such Canadian Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the applicable L/C Issuer, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the applicable Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of a L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the applicable Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the applicable Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the applicable Administrative Agent receives for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the applicable Administrative Agent), the applicable Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by such Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by an Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the applicable Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such

Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the applicable Borrower or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the applicable Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the applicable Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The applicable Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of the L/C Issuers. Each of the Revolving Lenders and the Borrowers agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not

have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agents, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of an L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Domestic Revolving Lenders or the Required Canadian Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Documents. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such Borrower’s use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the applicable Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as such Borrower may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agents, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of an L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and the applicable L/C Issuer may be liable to the applicable Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the applicable Borrower that such Borrower proves were caused by the applicable L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the applicable L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral.

(i) Upon the request of the applicable Administrative Agent, (A) if the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a L/C Borrowing, or (B) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of its L/C Obligations.

(ii) The applicable Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

(iii) GGC hereby grants to the Domestic Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Domestic L/C Issuers and the Domestic Revolving Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.

Canadian Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Canadian L/C Issuers and the Canadian Revolving Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral for the Canadian L/C Obligations shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America, acting through its Canada branch.

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Domestic Letter of Credit or Existing Canadian Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, any Subsidiary of a Borrower, the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit, and neither the Canadian Borrower nor any Canadian Subsidiary shall have any such obligation with respect to any Domestic Letters of Credit. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower’s Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that the Borrower’s businesses derive substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(j) Letter of Credit Fees. GGC shall pay to the Domestic Administrative Agent for the account of each Domestic Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (i) for each commercial Domestic Letter of Credit equal to Applicable Rate times the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Domestic Letter of Credit and (ii) for each standby Domestic Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Domestic Letter of Credit.

Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of any such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Domestic Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07.

(iii) Upon the request of the Required Domestic Lenders or the Required Canadian Lenders, as applicable, while any Event of Default exists, the applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations

hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto (or in the case of Bankers’ Acceptance Advances by discount on the date of funding of such Bankers’ Acceptance Advance) and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09 Fees.

In addition to certain fees described in subsections (j) and (k) of Section 2.03:

(a) (i) Domestic Commitment Fee. GGC shall pay to the Domestic Administrative Agent for the account of each Domestic Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Domestic Commitment Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (y) the Outstanding Amount of Domestic Revolving Loans and (z) the Outstanding Amount of Domestic L/C Obligations. The Domestic Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Domestic Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Domestic Availability Period. The Domestic Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(ii) Canadian Commitment Fee. The Canadian Borrower or, at the election of GGC, GGC shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Canadian Commitment Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (y) the Outstanding Amount of Canadian Revolving Loans and (z) the Outstanding Amount of Canadian L/C Obligations. The Canadian Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Canadian Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Canadian Availability Period. The Canadian Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(iii) Canadian Swing Line Commitment Fee. The Canadian Borrower shall

pay to the Canadian Swing Line Lender a commitment fee (the “Canadian Swing Line Commitment Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the Canadian Swing Line Commitments exceed the sum of the Outstanding Amount of Canadian Swing Line Loans. The Canadian Swing Line Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Canadian Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Canadian Availability Period. The Canadian Swing Line Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Fee Letter. GGC shall pay to the Domestic Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate” as determined by the applicable Administrative Agent and the acceptance fee payable in respect of Bankers’ Acceptance Advances shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the applicable Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

2.11 Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the applicable Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the applicable Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise

affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the applicable Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the applicable Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the applicable Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the applicable Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such Note shall (i) in the case of Domestic Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit B-1 (a “Domestic Revolving Note”), (ii) in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit B-2 (a “Canadian Revolving Note”), (iii) in the case of the Term Loan, be in the form of Exhibit B-3 (the “Term Note”) and (iv) in the case of the Canadian Swing Line Loans, the promissory note shall be in the form of Exhibit B-4 (the “Canadian Swing Line Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in applicable Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the applicable Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the applicable Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) all payments by GGC hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Domestic Revolving Loans and the Term Loan shall be made to the Domestic Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Domestic Administrative Agent’s Office and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein and (ii) all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Canadian Revolving Loans (A) denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made to the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Canadian Administrative Agent’s Office in Canadian Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the dates specified herein and (B) denominated in U.S. Dollars shall be made to the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Canadian Administrative Agent’s Office in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Domestic Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent may require that any payments due (A) from the Canadian Borrower under this Agreement be made in Canada and (B) from GGC under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, the Borrowers are prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in Canadian Dollars, the Borrowers shall make such payment in U.S. Dollars in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of Canadian Dollars. The applicable Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by (x) the Domestic Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. and (y) the Canadian Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) shall in each

case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment to be made by the Borrowers (other than payments on Bankers’ Acceptance Advances) shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon Eastern time on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the applicable Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the applicable Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the applicable Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the applicable Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the applicable Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the applicable Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the applicable Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the applicable Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the applicable Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the applicable Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the

amount so distributed to such Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds 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 applicable Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the applicable Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the applicable Administrative Agent, as the case may be, funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the applicable Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the applicable Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participations or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Allocation of Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by or are available to an Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal and Domestic L/C Borrowings, Canadian L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other counsel and amounts payable under Article III) incurred by each Administrative Agent and each Lender, (ii) second, toward repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (iii) third, toward repayment of principal, Domestic L/C Borrowings and Canadian L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, Domestic L/C Borrowings and Canadian L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

(a) 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 the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify each Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in (1) the Term Loan, Domestic Revolving Loans and

subparticipations in Domestic L/C Obligations of the other Lenders if such Lender is a Domestic Revolving Lender or (2) the Canadian Revolving Loans, Canadian Swing Line Loans and subparticipations in Canadian L/C Obligations of the other Lenders if such Lender is a Canadian Revolving Lender, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders, as applicable, ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.14 Facility Increase.

GGC may at any time and from time to time, upon prior written notice by GGC to each Administrative Agent, increase the Commitments (but not Domestic Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Canadian Swing Line Sublimit) by up to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($25,000,000) with (a) additional Domestic Revolving Commitments from any existing Domestic Revolving Lender, (b) additional Term Loan Commitments from any existing Term Loan Lender or (c) additional Canadian Revolving Commitments from any existing Canadian Revolving Lender or (d) new Domestic Revolving Commitments, Term Loan Commitments or Canadian Revolving Commitments, as applicable, from any other Person selected by the Borrowers and approved by the applicable Administrative Agent and applicable L/C Issuers; provided that:

(i) any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of US$10 million and in integral multiples of US$5 million in excess thereof (or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof with respect to Canadian Revolving Commitments);

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing at the time of any such increase;

(iii) no Lender shall be under any obligation to increase its Commitments and any such decision whether to increase its Commitments shall be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion;

(iv) any existing Lenders shall increase its Commitment by executing such

commitment agreements as customarily and reasonably required by the applicable Administrative Agent, and any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing such joinder documents as customarily and reasonably required by the applicable Administrative Agent; and

(v) as a condition precedent to such increase, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Domestic Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the date of such increase (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase and (B) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the date of such increase, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (c) of Section 6.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 7.01, and (2) no Default or Event of Default exists.

GGC (with respect to the Domestic Revolving Loans and Term Loan) and the Canadian Borrower or GGC, as applicable (with respect to the Canadian Revolving Loans) shall prepay any Loans, as applicable, outstanding on the date of any such increase (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans, as applicable, ratable with any revised Commitments arising from any nonratable increase in such Commitments under this Section 2.14. In connection with any such increase in the Commitments, Schedule 2.01 shall be revised by the Administrative Agents to reflect the new Commitments and distributed to the Lenders.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

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

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each

Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), or by the applicable Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

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

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the applicable Borrower or the applicable Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of either Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in

section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

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

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer, the Canadian Swing Line Lender and each Canadian Revolving Lender shall have delivered to the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date such certificates, forms, documents or other evidence as may be applicable and determined by the Canadian Borrower to be reasonably satisfactory to establish that each such person is not a Foreign Lender in respect of the Canadian Borrower (it being acknowledged that a representation by such person that it is not a Foreign Lender in respect of the Canadian Borrower shall be considered to be reasonably satisfactory evidence thereof if such representation is accompanied by an explanation of the basis for such status).

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If an Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of such Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event such Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require either Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans (whether denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars), to make or continue Bankers’ Acceptance Advances, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the applicable Administrative Agent any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Advances in the affected currency or currencies or, to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Advances, as applicable, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the applicable Administrative Agent and such Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable

Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Advances of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor or BA Period therefor, as applicable, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Advances, as applicable. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars) 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, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan (whether denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars), or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the applicable Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the applicable Borrower and each applicable Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended until the applicable Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate 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 in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e) or any L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit, any Eurodollar Rate Loan or Bankers’ Acceptance Advance made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, Eurodollar Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Advances made by such Lender, any Letter of Credit or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or

maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or Bankers’ Acceptance Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or Bankers’ Acceptance Advance), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the applicable Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’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 six month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal points) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which, in each case, shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the applicable Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Domestic Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

3.05 Compensation for Losses.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent) from time to time, the applicable Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by such Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13;

The applicable Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by a Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or either Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall (after having provided the applicable Borrower with prior written notice thereof) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable

judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Such Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04, such Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

GGC hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” GGC shall be deemed to have authorized the any Administrative Agent, BAS and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to GGC or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.07); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agents and BAS shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.”

(a) On the CAM Exchange Date, the Lenders shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Specified Obligations under the Tranches (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) such that, in lieu of the interest of each Lender in the Specified Obligations under each Tranche in which it shall participate as of such date (including the principal, reimbursement, interest and fee obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Tranche) and, if such Lender holds a Domestic Revolving Commitment, a Canadian Revolving Commitment or a Canadian Swing Line Commitment as of such date, such Lender’s participation interests in applicable Letters of Credit, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in the Specified Obligations under each of the Tranches (including the principal, reimbursement, interest and fee obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Tranche) and hold a participation interest in each Letter of Credit equal to its CAM Percentage thereof. Simultaneously with any CAM Exchange, the interests to be received by any Lender in such CAM Exchange shall, if applicable, be automatically and with no further action required, converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated in accordance with the terms hereof, of such amount and on and after the CAM Exchange Date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the

rate otherwise applicable hereunder. Each Lender, each Participant, each Loan Party and each Administrative Agent hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. Each Lender and each Loan Party hereby agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the applicable Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by such Lender to the applicable Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided, however, that the failure of any Loan Party to execute and deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange. On the CAM Exchange Date, each Lender whose funded Exposures after giving effect to the CAM Exchange shall exceed its funded Exposures before giving effect thereto shall pay to the applicable Administrative Agent the amount of such excess in the applicable currency or currencies (or, if requested by the applicable Administrative Agent, in U.S. Dollars), and such Administrative Agent shall pay to each of the Lenders, out of the amount so received by it, the amount by which such Lender’s funded Exposures before giving effect to the CAM Exchange exceeds such funded Exposures after giving effect to the CAM Exchange.

(b) Each Lender’s obligation to exchange its interests pursuant to the CAM Exchange shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any other Lender, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

The Borrowers shall indemnify each Administrative Agent, each Collateral Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with each Administrative Agent or each Collateral Agent may be recorded by such Administrative Agent or such Collateral Agent, as applicable, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer, any Administrative Agent or any Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

11.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), other than Taxes, and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by GGC or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Domestic Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the Domestic Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the Canadian Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only and the Canadian Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and/or the syndication of the facilities contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by GGC or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part,

out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by GGC or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if GGC or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to any Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the applicable Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the applicable L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the applicable Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the applicable Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or the applicable L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the applicable Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the applicable Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or the applicable L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

11.05 Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to any

Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or any Administrative Agent, any Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Administrative Agent, such Collateral Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by such Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither GGC nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the applicable Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Domestic Administrative Agent, the Domestic Collateral Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Domestic Revolving Commitment, Canadian Revolving Commitment, Term Loan Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Domestic Revolving Commitment, Canadian Revolving Commitment or Term Loan Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned;

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Domestic Revolving Commitment, the Canadian Revolving Commitment or the Term Loan Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Domestic Revolving Commitment, the Canadian Revolving Commitment or the Term Loan Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the applicable Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than US$5,000,000, in the case of an assignment of Domestic Revolving Loans, and CAN$5,000,000, in the case of an assignment of Canadian Revolving Loans, or US$1,000,000, in the case of an assignment of the Term Loan, unless the respective Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, GGC otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to rights in respect of Canadian Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in respect of its Domestic Revolving Commitment (and the related Revolving Loans thereunder) and its Canadian Revolving Commitment (and the related Revolving Loans thereunder) on a non-pro rata basis (it being understood and agreed that any assignment of the Term Loan shall be on a pro rata basis);

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of GGC (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided however, with respect to any assignment of a Canadian Revolving Commitment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund that is a Foreign Lender, GGC shall have the right to consent to any assignment of such Canadian Revolving Commitment to such Person unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) the consent of the Domestic Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) Domestic Revolving Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Domestic Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an

Approved Fund;

(C) the consent of the Canadian Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) the Canadian Revolving Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Canadian Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(D) the consent of the Domestic L/C Issuers or the Canadian L/C Issuers shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Domestic Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit, respectively (whether or not such Letters of Credit are then outstanding).

(iv) Canadian Swing Line Lender. The Canadian Swing Line Lender must assign all of its Canadian Swing Line Commitment (rather than just a portion thereof) if the Canadian Swing Line elects to make any assignment of the Canadian Swing Line Commitment

(v) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 11.06; provided, however, that the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(vi) No Assignment to Borrowers. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(ivii) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.06(d).

(c) Register. The applicable Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the applicable Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption

delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (each, a “Register”). The entries in each Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in such Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Each Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers and the L/C Issuers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the applicable Borrower or the applicable Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any Person identified on Schedule 1.01(d)) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Domestic Revolving Commitment, the Canadian Revolving Commitment, the Term Loan Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, GGC agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the applicable Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be

of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(h) Resignation after Assignment. (i)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Lender assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such Lender may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as Domestic L/C Issuer and/or Canadian L/C Issuer, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation as Domestic L/C Issuer or Canadian L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Domestic L/C Issuer or Canadian L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by a Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Lender as Domestic L/C Issuer or Canadian L/C Issuer. If any Lender resigns as Domestic L/C Issuer or Canadian L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Domestic L/C Issuer or Canadian L/C Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to all Domestic Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Domestic L/C Issuer or Canadian L/C Issuer and all Domestic L/C Obligations or Canadian L/C Obligations, as applicable, with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such Lender to effectively assume the obligations of such Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

Each Administrative Agent, each Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any pledge referred to in Section 11.06(f) or (iii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the consent of GGC or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to either Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to either Administrative Agent, either Collateral Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning GGC or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

11.08 Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the applicable Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the applicable Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Domestic Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Domestic Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or

unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Domestic Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent and when the Domestic Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Administrative Agent, each Collateral Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Administrative Agent, any Collateral Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Administrative Agent, any Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

11.12 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan 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 Loan 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 jurisdiction.

11.13 Replacement of Lenders.

If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (b) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (c) a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 11.01 but requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby (as applicable) or (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and

delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document, the applicable replacement bank, financial institution or Fund consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided that the failure by such Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Canadian Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.

11.19 Conversion of Currencies.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Loan Parties contained in this Section 11.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
