NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

“ABR”: for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for an Interest Period of one month commencing on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%. For purposes hereof: “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent (or another bank of recognized standing reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent and reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower) as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the Prime Rate not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with extensions of credit to debtors). “Federal Funds Effective Rate” shall mean, for any day, the rate calculated by the New York Fed based on such day’s federal funds transactions by depository institutions (as determined in such manner as the New York Fed shall set forth on its public website from time to time) and published on the next succeeding Business Day by the New York Fed as the federal funds effective rate, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for the day of such transactions received by the Administrative Agent from three federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it. “New York Fed” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

If
the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof, the ABR shall be determined without regard to clause (b) or (c) above, as the case may be, of the first sentence hereof until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist.

“Designated Hedging Agreements”: Hedging Agreements that are (i) secured by a Lien on the Collateral that are pari passu in priority with the Liens on such Collateral securing the amounts due under this Agreement, pursuant to the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Other Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) designated by the Parent Borrower as a Permitted Hedging Arrangement to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent as contemplated by Section 8.3(w) or pursuant to any applicable Security Document and (except with respect to any determination of the MTM value on the Closing Date, which shall be as previously provided by the Hedging Party to the Parent Borrower and by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent on or prior to the Closing Date) the Hedging Party shall have provided the MTM value on the date of such designation.
“Designated Hedging Reserves”: such reserves as the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent determine in their Permitted Discretion to reflect (and in no event to exceed) the then aggregate outstanding xxxx-to-market (“MTM”) exposure of all Loan Parties to the relevant Hedging Parties under all Designated Hedging Agreements. Such exposure shall be the sum of the positive aggregate MTM values to each Hedging Party of all Designated Hedging Agreements with such Hedging Party outstanding at the time of the relevant calculation. The aggregate MTM value to a Hedging Party of all Designated Hedging Agreements with such Hedging Party shall be calculated (i) on a net basis by taking into account the netting provision contained in the ISDA Master Agreement (or other similar agreement with netting provisions substantially similar to an ISDA Master Agreement) with such Hedging Party and (ii) if applicable, by taking into account any master netting agreement or arrangement in place among such Hedging Party, any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof that is also party to a Designated Hedging Agreement and the relevant Loan Party, in which case the positive aggregate
MTM value of all relevant Designated Hedging Agreements to such Hedging Party and such Subsidiaries or Affiliates who are parties to such master netting agreements shall be calculated in respect of all of the relevant Designated Hedging Agreements on a net basis across all such Designated Hedging Agreements; provided that the Parent Borrower (i) certifies to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent that such master netting agreement shall apply to all such Designated Hedging Agreements in all cases including upon the occurrence of an event of default by the relevant Loan Party in respect of any such Designated Hedging Agreement and (ii) upon request, provides to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent a copy of the master netting agreement. In calculating the positive aggregate MTM value to a Hedging Party, the value of collateral posted to such Hedging Party in respect of such Designated Hedging Agreements shall be taken into account, such that the value of such collateral shall reduce the MTM value of such Designated Hedging Agreements that is out-of-the-money to the relevant Loan Party by an amount equal to (x) the amount of cash collateral or (y) the value of non-cash collateral with such value as determined by the relevant Hedging Party or the relevant valuation agent in accordance with the relevant credit support annex or other collateral agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any haircut provision applicable to such non-cash collateral); provided that the Parent Borrower shall provide any supporting documentation for such value as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, if the MTM value of all Designated Hedging Agreements with a Hedging Party is a negative amount to such Hedging Party (i.e., if all such Designated Hedging Agreements with such Hedging Party are in-the-money to the relevant Loan Party on a net basis), such MTM value shall be treated as zero in calculating the amount of the Designated Hedging Reserves. The MTM value of a Designated Hedging Agreement for this purpose shall be calculated and provided to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agent, the relevant Loan Party and the Parent Borrower together with the supporting calculations therefor promptly (but in any case not later than three Business Days) following (x) the last calendar day of each calendar month and (y) such other date on which a request was made by the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agent, the relevant Loan party or the Parent Borrower, as applicable, for such MTM value. Upon receipt of such MTM value of a Designated Hedging Agreement from the relevant Hedging Party, the Parent Borrower may, within three Business Days of such receipt, notify the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent that the Parent Borrower does not agree with such MTM value provided by such Hedging Party and seek a Dealer Polling (as defined below) with respect to the relevant Designated Hedging Agreement as set forth below. In the event the Parent Borrower does not provide such notice to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall use such MTM value in calculating the relevant portion of the Designated Hedging Reserves. If a Hedging Party fails to provide the MTM value of a Designated Hedging Agreement within the relevant timeframe specified above, then the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent (x) shall give the Parent Borrower notice thereof within three Business Days from the date such Hedging Party was required to provide such
MTM value and (y) may (but is not obligated to) provide, upon receiving from the Parent Borrower or the relevant Loan Party all of the information reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent as being necessary to determine the MTM value of the relevant Designated Hedging Agreement, a proposed MTM value of the relevant Designated Hedging Agreement within such three Business Day period. If the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent agree to provide such a proposed MTM value and the Parent Borrower does not notify the Administrative Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent within three Business Days from receipt thereof that it does not agree with such MTM value, then the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall use such MTM value in calculating the relevant portion of the Designated Hedging Reserves. If either (i) the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent provide such a proposed MTM value within the timeframe contemplated by this paragraph and the Parent Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent within three Business Days of receipt thereof that it does not agree with such MTM value or (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent have not provided a proposed MTM value within the timeframe contemplated by this paragraph, then the Parent Borrower shall commence a Dealer Polling within three Business Days of the occurrence of the latest event described in sub-clause (i) or (ii), as applicable. Until Dealer Polling results in an alternative MTM value, the MTM value provided by the Hedging Party or the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent (if such Agents have agreed to provide such MTM value) shall be used for purposes of calculating the Designated Hedging Reserves. If a Hedging Party provides an MTM value in respect of the relevant Designated Hedging Agreement subsequent to the determination of an MTM value in accordance with a Dealer Polling or a calculation provided by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent, such MTM value so provided by the Hedging Party shall be used in calculating the relevant portion of the Designated Hedging Reserves provided that the Parent Borrower may disagree with such new MTM value and commence a new Dealer Polling in accordance with the above provisions. A “Dealer Polling” for purposes hereof is a procedure by which the Parent Borrower seeks mid-market quotations (which may be firm or indicative) from at least two (and not more than three) recognized dealers in Hedging Agreements of the same or similar type of the MTM value of a Designated Hedging Agreement. In seeking such quotations, the Parent Borrower shall (x) instruct each such dealer to calculate its mid-market valuation in a manner consistent with the manner in which such dealer would calculate such valuation for products of its own that are of the same or substantially similar type as the relevant Designated Hedging Agreement and (y) provide each such dealer with the transaction details and other information necessary for such dealer to provide such mid-market quotation. The Parent Borrower shall provide a copy of all written communications with each such dealer and all information provided pursuant to clause (y) of the preceding sentence to the dealers participating in the Dealer Polling to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agent and the relevant Hedging Party.

(g) Any references in this Agreement to “cash and/or Cash Equivalents”, “cash, Cash Equivalents, Investment Grade Securities and/or Temporary Cash Investments” or any similar combination of the foregoing shall be construed as not double counting cash or any other applicable amount which would otherwise be duplicated therein.

in each case, at the option of the Parent Borrower (the Parent Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is given, as applicable (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness and the use
of proceeds of such Incurrence) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the Parent Borrower are available, the Parent Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.

If the Parent Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, Asset Dispositions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent Borrower or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds of such Incurrence) have been consummated; provided that with respect to the making of Restricted Payments or payments of Restricted Indebtedness, on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio shall also be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds of such Incurrence) have not been consummated.

Such Spot Rate of Exchange shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rate of Exchange employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial ratios hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any Letter of Credit denominated in any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent as so determined by the Administrative Agent.
(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit in a Designated Foreign Currency, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but
such Letter of Credit is denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, such amount, other than in cases where a Dollar Equivalent is expressly included, shall be the relevant foreign currency equivalent of such Dollar Equivalent (rounded to the nearest unit of such Designated Foreign Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward) calculated on the basis of the Spot Rate of Exchange as determined by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) shall, at the option of the U.S. Borrowers, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency shall not be incurred, maintained as, and/or converted into ABR Loans; provided, further, that except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 4.9 and Section 4.10, all U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type;
(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof;
(iv) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any U.S. Facility Lender to the extent the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Individual U.S. Facility Lender Exposure of such U.S. Facility Lender to exceed the amount of its U.S. Facility Commitment at such time;
(v) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any U.S. Facility Lender to the extent the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause (x) the Aggregate U.S. Facility Lender Exposure to exceed the Total U.S. Facility Commitment as then in effect or (y) the Aggregate U.S. Facility Lender Exposure to exceed the difference of (I) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) minus (II) if greater than zero, the excess of the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the Canadian Borrowers over the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered); and
(vi) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any U.S. Facility Lender to the extent any such U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans to be made on any date, individually or in the aggregate, exceed the then Available U.S. Facility Loan Commitments.
(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Canadian Facility Lender severally agrees to make (including through a Non-Canadian Affiliate in the case of Revolving Credit Loans to the U.S. Borrowers), at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, a Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving Credit Loans to (i) the Canadian Borrowers (on a joint and several basis as between the Canadian Borrowers with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers) and (ii) the U.S. Borrowers (on a joint and several basis as between the U.S. Borrowers with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers) (each of the foregoing, a “Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loan” and, collectively, the “Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans”); which Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans:
(i) in the case of Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers, shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars and in the case of Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers, shall (x) in the case of ABR Loans, be denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, be denominated in U.S. Dollars or in a Designated Foreign Currency and (z) in the case of BA Equivalent Loans, be denominated in Canadian Dollars;
(ii) shall, in the case of Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers, at the option of the Canadian Borrowers, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans and, in the case of Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers, at the option of the U.S. Borrowers, be incurred and
maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency shall not be incurred, maintained as, and/or converted into ABR Loans; provided, further, in each case that except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 4.9 and Section 4.10, all Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type;
(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof;
(iv) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Canadian Facility Lender to the extent the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause (x) the Individual Canadian Facility Lender Exposure of such Canadian Facility Lender to exceed the amount of its Canadian Facility Commitment at such time or (y) the Dollar Equivalent of the Aggregate Canadian Facility Lender Exposure to exceed the lesser of (I) the Total Canadian Facility Commitments as then in effect and (II) (A) the difference of (1) the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of (a) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time plus (b) the U.S. Borrowing Base (in each case, based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) minus (2) the aggregate unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the U.S. Borrowers;
(v) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Canadian Facility Lender (including through any Non-Canadian Affiliate of any Canadian Facility Lender) to the extent any such Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans to be made on any date, individually or in the aggregate, exceed the then Available Canadian Facility Loan Commitments; and
(vi) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) to any U.S. Borrower to the extent the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the aggregate unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the U.S. Borrowers to exceed the difference of (x) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) minus (y) if greater than zero, the excess of the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the
Canadian Borrowers over the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2.1(a) or (b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall by mutual agreement have the right to establish Availability Reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent in their Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against the U.S. Borrowing Base and/or the Canadian Borrowing Base, as applicable, including reserves with respect to (i) sums that the respective Borrowers are or will be required to pay (such as taxes (including payroll and sales taxes), assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and have not yet paid and (ii) amounts owing by the respective Borrowers or, without duplication, their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral, which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent, is capable of ranking senior in priority to or pari passu with one or more of the Liens granted in the Security Documents (such as Canadian Priority Payables, Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral; provided that (x) with respect to any Availability Reserve (other than any Designated Hedging Reserves or Cash Management Reserves), the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall have provided the applicable Borrower at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice of any such establishment, (y) (i) the imposition of any Designated Hedging Reserve or Cash Management Reserve shall be immediately effective upon written notice thereof being delivered to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent (and the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent agree to notify the Borrowers of any such Designated Hedging Reserve within one Business Day after any applicable Hedging Party has provided written notice of the applicable MTM value or, as the case may be, after the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent have provided a proposed MTM value, in either case that will form the basis for such Designated Hedging Reserve, as provided in the definition of “Designated Hedging Reserve”), (ii) any adjustment in any Designated Hedging Reserve contemplated by the definition thereof shall be immediately effective upon the notification to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent of the details and results of the applicable mid-market quotations as provided in the penultimate sentence of the definition of “Designated Hedging Reserve” and (iii) no such Designated Hedging Reserve or Cash Management Reserve shall be established if the Aggregate Canadian Facility Lender Exposure or Aggregate U.S. Facility Lender Exposure would exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base or U.S. Borrowing Base, as applicable (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) as a result thereof, after giving effect to any other changes in the Aggregate Canadian Facility Lender Exposure or Aggregate U.S. Facility Lender Exposure, as applicable, at such
time, including any repayment of Revolving Credit Loans at such time and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent may only establish an Availability Reserve after the date hereof based on an event, condition or other circumstance arising after the Closing Date or based on facts not known to the Administrative Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent as of the Closing Date. The amount of any Availability Reserve established by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for the Availability Reserve. Upon delivery of such notice, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall be available to discuss the proposed Availability Reserve, and the applicable Borrower may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Availability Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent in the exercise of their Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent to establish such Availability Reserve, unless the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall have determined in their Permitted Discretion that the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for such new Availability Reserve no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by the applicable Borrower. In the event that the event, condition or other matter giving rise to the establishment of any Availability Reserve shall cease to exist (unless there is a reasonable prospect that such event, condition or other matter will occur again within a reasonable period of time thereafter), the Availability Reserve established pursuant to such event, condition or other matter, shall be discontinued. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Availability Reserves shall not duplicate eligibility criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible Accounts”, “Eligible Rental Equipment”, “Eligible Spare Parts and Merchandise”, “Eligible Service Vehicles”, or “Eligible Unbilled Accounts” and vice versa, or reserves or criteria deducted in computing the Net Book Value of Eligible Rental Equipment, Eligible Spare Parts and Merchandise or Eligible Service Vehicles or the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Rental Equipment, Eligible Spare Parts and Merchandise or Eligible Service Vehicles and vice versa. In addition to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to Section 7.6, to have the Loan Parties’ Rental Equipment reappraised by a Qualified Appraisal Company for the purpose of re-determining the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of the Eligible Rental Equipment, Eligible Spare Parts and Merchandise or Eligible Service Vehicles, and, as a result, re-determining the U.S. Borrowing Base or the Canadian Borrowing Base.
(d) In the event the U.S. Borrowers are, or the Canadian Borrowers are, as applicable, unable to comply with (i) the U.S. Borrowing Base limitations or Canadian Borrowing Base limitations, as applicable, set forth in Sections 2.1(a) and/or (b), as the case may be, or (ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit set forth in Section 6, (x) the U.S. Facility Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent, for the account of the U.S. Facility Lenders,
to make U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans to the U.S. Borrowers and (y) the Canadian Facility Lenders authorize the Canadian Agent, for the account of the Canadian Facility Lenders, to make Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers, which, in each case, may only be made as ABR Loans (each, an “Agent Advance”) for a period commencing on the date the Administrative Agent first receives a notice of Borrowing requesting an Agent Advance until the earliest of (i) the 30th Business Day after such date, (ii) the date the respective Borrowers or Borrower are again able to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit, or obtains an amendment or waiver with respect thereto and (iii) the date the Required Lenders instruct the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance Period”). Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Agent shall make any Agent Advance to the extent that at such time the amount of such Agent Advance (A) in the case of Agent Advances made to the Canadian Borrowers, (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Canadian Borrowers at such time, would exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the Total Canadian Facility Commitments as then in effect and (ii) the difference of (1) the sum of (a) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time plus (b) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (in each case, based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) minus (2) the sum of (a) the aggregate unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the Canadian Borrowers and (b) the aggregate unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the U.S. Borrowers or (II) when added to the Aggregate Canadian Facility Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the Total Canadian Facility Commitment at such time, or (B) in the case of Agent Advances made to the U.S. Borrowers, (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the U.S. Borrowers at such time, would exceed 5% of the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (II) when added to the Aggregate U.S. Facility Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), (1) would exceed the Total U.S. Facility Commitment at such time or (2) when added to the Aggregate Canadian Facility Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to such Agent Advance) would exceed the sum of (a) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time plus (b) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (in each case, based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered). It is understood and agreed that, subject to the requirements set forth above, Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent in their respective discretion to the extent the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent deems such Agent Advances necessary or desirable (x) to preserve and protect the applicable Collateral, or any portion thereof, (y) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (z) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, and that the Borrowers shall have no right to require that any
Agent Advances be made. Without limiting the foregoing, the Co-Collateral Agent may request that the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent make any Agent Advances that the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent is authorized to make during an Agent Advance Period, and each of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent agree to make such Agent Advances requested by the Co-Collateral Agent during such Agent Advance Period, in each case to the extent the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent is permitted to do so under, and subject to the limitations of, this Section 2.1(d).
(e) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Credit Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to Section 11.6(b), in order to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans, such Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount (each, as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Revolving Credit Note”), payable to such Lender and in a principal amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender to such Borrower. Each Revolving Credit Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the Termination Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Section 4.1.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Canadian Borrowers shall not be jointly or jointly and severally liable with the U.S. Borrowers for any liabilities or obligations of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder and (ii) the U.S. Borrowers shall not be jointly or jointly and severally liable with the Canadian Borrowers for any liabilities or obligations of the Canadian Borrowers hereunder.
2.2 Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. Each of the Borrowers may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period applicable to such Commitments on any Business Day, provided that the applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 12:30 P.M., New York City time, at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially Eurocurrency Loans made in Dollars, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, (b) 9:00 AM, London time, at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially Eurocurrency Loans made in any Designated Foreign Currency or (c) 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date (or such later time as may be agreed by
the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), for ABR Loans made in a currency other than a Designated Foreign Currency) specifying (i) the identity of the Borrower, (ii) the amount to be borrowed, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iv) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof and (v) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan, the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor and, if the Eurocurrency Loans in respect of such borrowing are to be made entirely or partly in any Designated Foreign Currency, the Designated Foreign Currency thereof. Each borrowing shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, except any ABR Loan to be used solely to pay a like amount of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or Swing Line Loans, in multiples of $1,000,000 (or, if the Commitments then available (as calculated in accordance with Sections 2.1(a) and (b)) are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans (or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans to be made in any Designated Foreign Currency, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans, the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount thereof) shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 (or, in the case of Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers, Cdn$5,000,000) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in the case of Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers, Cdn$1,000,000) in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from a Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 6.2, each applicable Revolving Credit Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of the Borrower identified in such notice at the office of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, specified in Section 11.2 prior to 12:30 P.M. (or 10:00 A.M., in the case of the initial borrowing hereunder), New York City time, or at such other office of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, or at such other time as to which the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall notify such Borrower reasonably in advance of the Borrowing Date with respect thereto, on the Borrowing Date requested by such Borrower in Dollars, Canadian Dollars or the applicable Designated Foreign Currency and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable. In relation to Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall credit to the applicable Canadian Borrower’s account on the applicable Borrowing Date the BA Proceeds less the applicable BA Fee with respect to each Bankers’ Acceptance purchased and each BA Equivalent Loan advanced by a Lender on that Borrowing Date. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower identified in such notice by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent
or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, by the Revolving Credit Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable.
2.3 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and each other Borrower) shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), to terminate the U.S. Facility or Canadian Facility Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the U.S. Facility or Canadian Facility Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding (including in the case of Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding in any Canadian Dollars or Designated Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount thereof), when added to the sum of the then outstanding L/C Obligations, would exceed the Commitments then in effect and provided further that any such notice of termination delivered by the Parent Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Parent Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the applicable Commitments then in effect.
2.4 Swing Line Commitments.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make swing line loans (individually, a “Swing Line Loan”; collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”) to any of the U.S. Borrowers from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $100,000,000, provided that at no time may such Swing Line Loan cause the sum of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans (including in the case of U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding in any Designated Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount thereof) and L/C Obligations exceed the lesser of (1) the U.S. Facility Commitments then in effect and (2) the difference of (I) the U.S. Borrowing Base then in effect (based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate) minus (II) if greater than zero, the excess of the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit made to or for the account of, the Canadian Borrowers over the Canadian Borrowing Base (based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate) (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in any Designated Foreign Currency on the date the notice of borrowing of Swing Line Loans is given for
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 2.4). Amounts borrowed by any U.S. Borrower under this Section 2.4 may be repaid and, through but excluding the Termination Date, reborrowed. All Swing Line Loans made to any U.S. Borrower shall be made in Dollars as ABR Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurocurrency Loans. The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself or any other Borrower as the case may be) shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time) on the requested Borrowing Date specifying (1) the identity of the Borrower and (2) the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan. The proceeds of the Swing Line Loans will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower identified in such notice at an office of the Swing Line Lender by crediting the account of such Borrower at such office with such proceeds in Dollars.
(b) The Parent Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by the Swing Line Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to Section 11.6(b), in order to evidence the Swing Line Loans such Borrower will execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, with appropriate insertions (as the same may be amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Swing Line Note”), payable to the Swing Line Lender and representing the obligation of such Borrower to pay the amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made to such Borrower, with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 4.1. The Swing Line Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the Termination Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Section 4.1.
(c) The Swing Line Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, and, at any time as there shall be a Swing Line Loan outstanding for more than seven Business Days, the Swing Line Lender shall, on behalf of the Borrower to which the Swing Line Loan has been made (which hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes such Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), request (provided that such request shall be deemed to have been automatically made upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9(f)) each U.S. Facility Lender, including the Swing Line Lender to make a U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan as an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such U.S. Facility Lender’s U.S. Facility Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all Swing Line Loans made in Dollars (each, a “Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing”) in an amount equal to such U.S. Facility Lender’s U.S. Facility Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all of the Swing Line Loans (collectively, the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall not affect the obligations of any U.S. Borrower to prepay Swing Line Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.4(d). Unless the U.S. Facility Commitments shall have expired or terminated (in which event the procedures of paragraph (d) of this Section 2.4 shall
apply), each U.S. Facility Lender hereby agrees to make the proceeds of its U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan (including any Eurocurrency Loan) available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for Revolving Credit Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing and (v) the amount of the U.S. Facility Commitment of such, or any other, U.S. Facility Lender at such time. The proceeds of such U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans (including any Eurocurrency Loan) shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.
(d) If the U.S. Facility Commitments shall expire or terminate at any time while Swing Line Loans are outstanding, each U.S. Facility Lender shall, at the option of the Swing Line Lender, exercised reasonably, either (i) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the U.S. Facility Commitments, make a U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan as an ABR Loan (which U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan shall be deemed a “U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or (ii) purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swing Line Loans, in either case in an amount equal to such U.S. Facility Lender’s U.S. Facility Commitment Percentage determined on the date of, and immediately prior to, expiration or termination of the U.S. Facility Commitments of the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loans; provided, that in the event that any Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, insolvency, receivership, administration or liquidation or similar law with respect to any Borrower), then each U.S. Facility Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from such Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swing Line Lender such participations in such outstanding Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such U.S. Facility Lenders to share in such Swing Line Loans ratably based upon their respective U.S. Facility Commitment Percentages, provided, further, that (x) all interest payable on the Swing Line Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Line Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing U.S. Facility Lender shall be required to pay the Swing Line Lender interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing
would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate otherwise applicable to U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans made as ABR Loans. Each U.S. Facility Lender will make the proceeds of any U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which the U.S. Facility Commitments expire or terminate and in the currency in which such Swing Line Loans were made. The proceeds of such U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date of termination or expiration of the U.S. Facility Commitments. In the event that the U.S. Facility Lenders purchase undivided participating interests pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (d), each U.S. Facility Lender shall immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds and in the currency in which such Swing Line Loans were made, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender will deliver to such U.S. Facility Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
(e) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any U.S. Facility Lender such U.S. Facility Lender’s participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof (whether directly from the Parent Borrower or any other Borrower in respect of such Swing Line Loan or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Swing Line Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such U.S. Facility Lender its pro rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise, the Swing Line Lender will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Facility Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such U.S. Facility Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Line Lender to it.
(f) Each U.S. Facility Lender’s obligation to make the U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans and to purchase participating interests with respect to Swing Line Loans in accordance with Sections 2.4(c) and 2.4(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such U.S. Facility Lender or any of the Borrowers may have against the Swing Line Lender, any of the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in condition (financial or otherwise) of any of the Borrowers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any
of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other U.S. Facility Lender; (v) any inability of any of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan is to be made or participating interest is to be purchased or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event there is a Defaulting Lender, then the Individual Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will automatically be reallocated among the U.S. Facility Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective U.S. Facility Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Individual Lender Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender. If such reallocation cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the U.S. Borrowers shall, upon one Business Day’s written notice from the Administrative Agent, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Facility Commitment Percentage (calculated as in effect immediately prior to it becoming a Defaulting Lender) of any Swing Line Loans (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.4(g)). So long as there is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make a Swing Line Loan to the extent that the sum of the Individual U.S. Facility Lender Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan would exceed the aggregate U.S. Facility Commitments of such Non-Defaulting Lenders.

2.8 Repayment of Loans.
(a) Each U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (in the currency in which such Loan is denominated) for the account of: (i) each U.S. Facility Lender or each Canadian Facility Lender, as applicable, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9); and (ii) the Swing Line Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made to such U.S. Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Swing Line Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9). Each U.S. Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest (which payments shall be in the same currency in which the respective Loan referred to above is denominated) on the unpaid principal amount of
such Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 4.1.
(b) Each Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Canadian Agent (in Canadian Dollars) for the account of each Canadian Facility Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9). Each Canadian Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest (which payments shall be in the same currency in which the respective Loan referred to above is denominated) on the unpaid principal amount of such Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 4.1.
(c) Each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof, the Borrowers to which such Loan is made, each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto and whether such Loans are U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans, Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans or U.S. Facility Swing Line Loans, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each of the Borrowers to each applicable Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent hereunder from each of the Borrowers and each applicable Lender’s share thereof.
(e) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(d) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2.9 Commitment Increases.
(a) The Parent Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to (i) increase the Commitments of any Lender and/or (ii) add Commitments (“Additional Commitments”), provided that, no Additional Commitment shall become effective if any Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, of one or more financial institutions or other entities that will become “Lenders” (each an “Additional Commitment Lender”), in each case subject only to (i) the consent of such Lender that is increasing its Commitment or Additional Commitment Lender, as applicable and (ii) if such Additional Commitment Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or an affiliate of a Lender hereunder, the consent of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Swing Line Lender (each such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld). For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender will be required to provide any such Additional Commitments unless it so agrees.
(b) With respect to a Commitment increase pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, the Parent Borrower shall provide a supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 hereto (the “Increase Supplement”) specifying the U.S. Facility Commitment increase or the Canadian Facility Commitment increase, as the case may be, executed by each increasing Lender and the Parent Borrower which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording in the Register. With respect to a Commitment increase pursuant to clause (a)(ii) above, the Parent Borrower shall provide a Lender Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit M-2 hereto (the “Lender Joinder Agreement”) specifying, among other things, the U.S Facility Commitment amount or Canadian Facility Commitment amount, as the case may be, executed by the Additional Commitment Lender and the Parent Borrower, which shall be delivered together with any tax forms required pursuant to Section 4.11 hereof to the Administrative Agent for its recording in the Register. Upon effectiveness of the Lender Joinder Agreement, each Additional Commitment Lender shall be a U.S Facility Lender and/or a Canadian Facility Lender, as the case may be, and a Lender for all intents and purposes of this Agreement and such Additional Commitments shall be U.S. Facility Commitments or Canadian Commitments, respectively.
(c) Upon the effectiveness of the Increase Supplement or the Lender Joinder Agreement, as the case may be, outstanding Loans and/or participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans and/or L/C Obligations under the U.S. Facility and/or the Canadian Facility, as the case may be, shall be reallocated (and the increasing Lender or joining Additional Commitment Lender, as applicable, shall make appropriate payments representing principal, with the Parent Borrower making any necessary payments of accrued interest and, at the option of the Parent Borrower, any accrued letter of credit commission under the first sentence of Section 3.3(a)) so that after giving effect thereto the increasing Lender or the joining Additional Commitment Lender, as the case may be, and the other U.S. Facility Lenders or Canadian Facility Lenders, as the case may be,
share ratably in the Aggregate U.S. Facility Lender Exposure, or the Aggregate Canadian Facility Lender Exposure, in accordance with the applicable Commitments (and notwithstanding Section 4.12, no Borrower shall be liable for any amounts under Section 4.12 as a result of such reallocation).
2.10 Incremental Facility.
(a) Without limiting Section 2.9, so long as no Specified Default exists or would arise therefrom, (i) the Canadian Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date to request new commitments under a new revolving facility to be included in this agreement (the “Incremental Canadian Revolving Commitments”), (ii) the U.S. Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to request new commitments under a new revolving facility to be included in this agreement (the “Incremental U.S. Revolving Commitments” and, together with the Incremental Canadian Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”), and (iii) the Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to request new term loan commitments under a new term loan credit facility to be included in this Agreement (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments” and, together with the Incremental Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”).
(b) Each request from any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Commitments. The Incremental Commitments (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution (any such bank or other financial institution, an “Additional Lender”) subject, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitments (if such Additional Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or any affiliate of a Lender hereunder) to the consent of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lenders (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c) Incremental Commitments shall become commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Commitment Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers and each Additional Lender. An Incremental Commitment Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.10, provided, however, that (i) (A) the Incremental Commitments will not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower other than the Subsidiary Guarantors, and will be secured on a pari passu or at the Parent Borrower’s option junior basis by the same collateral securing, the Loans, (B) the Incremental Commitments and any incremental loans drawn thereunder
(the “Incremental Loans”) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with or at the Parent Borrower’s option junior to the Loans, and (C) no Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide for (I) any Incremental Commitment or any Incremental Loans to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that do not also secure the Loans and (II) so long as any Loans (other than Incremental Loans) are outstanding, any mandatory prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Loans on a pro rata basis while a Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing or upon an acceleration of the Loans, (ii) no Lender will be required to provide any such Incremental Commitment unless it so agrees, (iii) the maturity date of such Incremental Commitments shall be no earlier than the Termination Date or such later date as extended under Section 2.11, (iv) the aggregate amount of Incremental Commitments permitted pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not exceed, at the time the respective Incremental Commitment becomes effective (and after giving effect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith and the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness, including to refinance other Indebtedness), the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount, (v) the interest rate margins applicable to the loans made pursuant to the Incremental Commitments shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the Additional Lenders, (vi) any Incremental Commitments may be in the form of a separate “first-in, last out” tranche (the “FILO Tranche”) with separate borrowing bases against the Collateral that supports the Canadian Borrowing Base (the “FILO Canadian Borrowing Base”) and against the Collateral that supports the US Borrowing Base (the “FILO US Borrowing Base”, together with the FILO Canadian Borrowing Base, the “FILO Borrowing Base”), provided that (1) if the availability under the FILO Tranche exceeds $0, any Extension of Credit under the Facility thereafter requested shall be made under the FILO Tranche until availability under the FILO Tranche no longer exceeds $0, (2) as between the Facility (other than the FILO Tranche) on the one hand and the FILO Tranche on the other hand, all proceeds from the liquidation or other realization of the Collateral shall be applied first to obligations owing under, or with respect to, the Facility (other than the FILO Tranche) and any outstanding obligations payable under Designated Hedging Agreements prior to applying such proceeds to the FILO Tranche, (3) no Borrower may prepay loans under the FILO Tranche or terminate or reduce the commitments in respect thereof at any time that other Loans and/or Reimbursement Obligations (unless such Reimbursement Obligations are cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) are outstanding, (4) the requisite lenders under the Intercreditor Agreement, First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and the Security Documents (in each case calculated as excluding Lenders under the FILO Tranche until such time as the Loans and/or Reimbursement Obligations have been paid in full and Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (or cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent)) shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, control exercise of remedies in respect of the Collateral and (5) no changes affecting the priority status of the Facility (other than the FILO Tranche) and
the Designated Hedging Agreements vis-à-vis the FILO Tranche may be made without the consent of the requisite lenders under the Facility (excluding any FILO Tranche), (vii) such Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide for the inclusion, as appropriate, of Additional Lenders in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders, the Supermajority Lenders or of the Lenders of each Facility hereunder and may provide class protection for any additional credit facilities; provided, that with respect to any Incremental Term Loan Commitments, such Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide that an amendment, supplement or modification may (A) amend or otherwise modify Section 6.2 solely with respect to any Extension of Credit under any Facility of revolving Commitments, (B) waive any representation made or deemed made in connection with any Extension of Credit under any Facility of revolving Commitments, (C) amend or otherwise modify Section 8.1 or (D) waive or consent to any Default or Event of Default (x) relating to Section 6.2 solely with respect to, or relating to any representation made or deemed made in connection with, any Extension of Credit under any Facility of revolving Commitments, or (y) relating to Section 8.1, or (z) otherwise relating solely to the Revolving Credit Loans and corresponding Commitments, in each case under the preceding clauses (A) through (D), with the written consent only of Revolving Credit Lenders the Individual Lender Exposures of which aggregate to at least a majority of total Commitments of Revolving Credit Lenders (provided that the Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated or expired, all Revolving Credit Loans and interests in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans) held or deemed held by Defaulting Lenders shall be excluded for purposes of making such determination) and without the consent of any Lender holding Incremental Term Loan Commitments or term loans thereunder, (viii) with respect to Incremental Term Loan Commitments, such Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide (A) that any Event of Default under Section 8.1 shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or term loans thereunder unless and until the Revolving Credit Loans have been declared due and payable and the corresponding Commitments have been terminated by the Revolving Credit Lenders or otherwise as provided in such Incremental Commitment Amendment and (B) for optional and mandatory prepayments, Dutch auction procedures (including as set forth in Exhibit O hereto as may be modified in any Incremental Commitment Amendment), open market purchases, assignment and participation, cashless rollover, debt exchange and any other provisions customarily applicable to term loans (as determined in good faith by the Parent Borrower), and (ix) the other terms and documentation in respect thereof, to the extent not consistent with this Agreement as in effect prior to giving effect to the Incremental Commitment Amendment, shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower.
2.11 Extension Amendments.
(a) The Parent Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion, including one or more Tranches, of the Commitments
(including any Extended Commitments), each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Commitment” and any related Revolving Credit Loans thereunder, “Existing Loans”; each Existing Commitment and related Existing Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Tranche”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) (each, an “Extended Maturity Date”) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Loans related to such Existing Commitments (any such Existing Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Commitments” and any related Existing Loans, “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.11; provided that any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Parent Borrower. In order to establish any Extended Commitments, the Parent Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Commitment”) except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates or scheduled payment dates of such Extended Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates or scheduled payment dates of the Specified Existing Commitments, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Commitments and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any change in interest margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (z) the applicable Commitment Fee Rate with respect to the Extended Commitments may be higher or lower than the applicable Commitment Fee Rate for the Specified Existing Commitment, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11 or otherwise, the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to any Commitments (including all Extended Commitments) shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other outstanding Commitments (including all Extended Commitments) and assignments and participations of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions (or, at the Parent Borrower’s discretion, assignment and participation that are more restrictive to the Lenders) applicable to Commitments and the Revolving Loans related to such Commitments set forth in Section 11.6. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Loans or Existing Commitments of any Existing Tranche converted into Extended Loans or Extended Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Commitments shall constitute a separate Tranche of Commitments from the Specified Existing Commitments and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments so established on such date).
(b) The Parent Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Commitments converted into Extended Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Commitments that it has elected to convert into Extended Commitments. In the event that the aggregate amount of Specified Existing Commitments subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Commitments included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Commitment into an Extended Commitment, such Extended Commitment shall be treated identically to all Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Lender in respect of Letters of Credit under Article 3 and Swing Line Loans under Section 2.4, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the maturity date for Swing Line Loans and/or Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swing Line Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the Swing Line Lender and/or the applicable Issuing Lender, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension). The Parent Borrower may amend, revoke or replace an Extension Request pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at any time prior to the date (the “Extension Request Deadline”) on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche are requested to respond to the Extension Request. Any Lender may revoke an Extension Election at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the date that is two Business Days prior to the Extension Request Deadline, at which point the Extension Election becomes irrevocable (unless otherwise agreed by the Parent Borrower). The revocation of an Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline shall not prejudice any Lender’s right to submit a new Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline.
(c) Extended Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins or fees referenced in Section 2.11(a) clauses (x) to (z) and which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.11(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Commitments established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, if applicable, and the Extending Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 11.1 to any Section 2.11 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.11 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.11 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.11 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Commitments provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, the Borrowers and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.11 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 11.1; provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for (a) any Extended Commitment or Extended Loans to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the Existing Tranches and (b) so long as any Existing Tranches are outstanding, any mandatory prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Existing Tranches on a pro rata basis while a Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing or upon an acceleration of the Loans. It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.11 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.11 Additional Amendment. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Parent Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Commitments of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Commitments shall be established as a separate Tranche of Commitments from the Specified Existing Commitments and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Existing Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Loans (and related participations) and Existing Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Commitments to Extended Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date.
(e) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the extension of its Commitment on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Parent Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, (A) replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 11.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Parent Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Parent Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide a Commitment on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender (or, at the Parent Borrower’s option, the Borrowers) to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance or (B) upon notice to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Canadian Agent), to prepay the Loans and, at the Parent Borrower’s option, terminate the Commitments of such Non-Extending Lender, in whole or in part, subject to Section 4.12, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.11, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender (or, at the Parent Borrower’s option, the Borrowers) to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the applicable Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender.
(f) Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of the Parent Borrower, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its Existing Loans and/or Existing Commitments deemed to be an Extended Loan or Extended Commitments, as applicable, under the applicable Tranche on any date (each date a “Designation Date”) prior to the Extended Maturity Date of such Tranche; provided that such Lender shall have provided written notice to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days prior to such Designation Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion). Following a Designation Date, the Existing Loans or Existing Commitments, as applicable, held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be Extende
