~~(A)~~ (F) in the case of a request for LIBOR Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one month).

~~(ii)~~(ii) In lieu of delivering a U.S. Notice of Borrowing, the U.S. Parent Borrower may give the U.S. Administrative Agent telephonic notice of such request for advances on or before the deadline set forth above (promptly confirmed by delivery of a completed U.S. Notice of Borrowing). The U.S. Administrative Agent at all times shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice in making such U.S. Revolving Loans, regardless of whether any written confirmation is received.

~~(a)~~ (c) U.S. Designated Accounts. On or prior to the Closing Date, the U.S. Parent Borrower delivered to the U.S. Administrative Agent a notice setting forth the account for the U.S. Borrowers (each, a “U.S. Designated Account”) to which each Administrative Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Loans requested hereunder by the U.S. Parent Borrower. The U.S. Parent Borrower may designate a replacement account from time to time by written notice to the U.S. Administrative Agent duly executed by an Authorized Officer of the U.S. Parent Borrower. All such U.S. Designated Accounts must be reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent.

~~(a)~~ (d) No Liability. The U.S. Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to the U.S. Borrowers as a result of acting upon any notice referred to in Sections 2.2(b) and (c), which the U.S. Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an Authorized Officer of the U.S. Parent Borrower. The crediting of U.S. Revolving Loans and Term Loans to a U.S. Designated Account conclusively establishes the obligation of each U.S. Borrower to repay such U.S. Revolving Loans and Term Loans as provided herein.

~~(a)~~ (e) Notice Irrevocable. Any U.S. Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to Section 2.2(b) shall be irrevocable. The U.S. Borrowers shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith.

~~(a)~~ (f) Making of U.S. Revolving Loans and Term Loans; Reserves.

~~(i)~~(i) Promptly after receipt of a U.S. Notice of Borrowing or telephonic or electronic notice in lieu thereof, the U.S. Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable U.S. Revolving Lenders or Term Lenders by telecopy, telephone or e-mail of the requested Borrowing. Each applicable Lender shall transfer its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing to the U.S. Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in the currency in which such Loan is denominated to the account from time to time designated by the U.S. Administrative Agent, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the applicable Borrowing. After the U.S. Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s receipt of all proceeds of such U.S. Revolving Loans or Term Loans, the U.S. Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to the U.S. Borrowers on the date of the applicable Borrowing by, not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) transferring same day funds to the U.S. Designated Account designated by the U.S. Borrower; provided, however, that no U.S. Revolving Loans shall be made on any date unless, after giving effect thereto, the Availability Conditions are satisfied on such date.

~~(ii)~~(ii) The U.S. Administrative Agent may establish Reserves or change any of the Reserves, in the exercise of its reasonable good faith credit judgment, provided that (A) any changes to such Reserves will be made in good faith and (B) such Reserves shall not be established or changed except upon not less than five (5) Business Days’’ notice to the U.S. Parent Borrower (unless an Event of Default exists in which event no notice shall be required), and to the extent the U.S. Parent Borrower shall have objected to the addition of or change to such Reserve during such 5 Business Day period, the U.S. Administrative Agent shall have taken into consideration the U.S. Parent ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s basis of objection and shall have negotiated in good faith with the U.S. Parent Borrower in order to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution with respect to such Reserve (other than if an Event of Default exists). The U.S. Administrative Agent will be available during such period to discuss any such proposed Reserve or change with the U.S. Parent Borrower and without limiting the right of the U.S. Administrative Agent to

-76-

establish or change such Reserves in the U.S. Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s reasonable credit judgment, the U.S. Parent Borrower may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Reserve no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent. The amount of any Reserve established by the U.S. Administrative Agent shall have a reasonable relationship as determined by the U.S. Administrative Agent in its reasonable credit judgment to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for the Reserve. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Reserve shall not be established to the extent that such Reserve would be duplicative of any specific item excluded as ineligible in the definitions of Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, but the U.S. Administrative Agent shall retain the right, subject to the requirements of this paragraph, to establish Reserves with respect to prospective changes in eligible Collateral that may reasonably be anticipated.

~~(a)~~ (g) U.S. Swingline Commitment.

~~(i)~~(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the U.S. Swingline Lender in its individual capacity agrees, at any time and from time to time on and after the Restatement Effective Date and prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, to make a loan or loans (each a “U.S. Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “U.S. Swingline Loans”) in Dollars in the amount of that Borrowing available to the U.S. Borrowers by transferring same day funds to the U.S. Designated Account or such other account(s) as may be designated by the U.S. Parent Borrower in writing not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time). Each U.S. Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to U.S. Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans except that all payments thereon (including interest) shall be made to the U.S. Swingline Lender. The U.S. Swingline Lender shall not make any U.S. Swingline Loan if (1) the U.S. Administrative Agent has received written notice from any U.S. Revolving Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 or Section 6 will not be satisfied on the date of the requested Borrowing, (2) after giving effect to the requested Borrowing, the Availability Conditions would not be satisfied on such date, or (3) such U.S. Swingline Loan would cause the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all U.S. Swingline Loans to exceed the U.S. Swingline Commitment. U.S. Swingline Loans shall at all times be ABR Loans.

~~(ii)~~(ii) On any Business Day, the U.S. Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion (and, if any U.S. Swingline Loan is outstanding for five Business Days, the U.S. Swingline Lender shall on such fifth Business Day), give notice to each U.S. Revolving Lender that all then outstanding U.S. Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of U.S. Revolving Loans, in which case U.S. Revolving Loans constituting ABR Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory U.S. Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by each U.S. Revolving Lender pro rata based on each such ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s Pro Rata Share, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the U.S. Swingline Lender to repay the U.S. Swingline Lender for such outstanding U.S. Swingline Loans. Each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such U.S. Revolving Loans upon one Business ~~Day’s~~Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory U.S. Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the U.S. Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory U.S. Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (unless the U.S. Swingline Lender has received written notice thereof from any Lender as contemplated above prior to the date such Swingline Loan was made), (iv) the date of such Mandatory U.S. Borrowing or (v) any reduction in the U.S. Revolving Commitments or the U.S. Borrowing Base after any such U.S. Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the U.S. Swingline Lender, any Mandatory U.S. Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of any U.S. Borrower), each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the U.S. Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding U.S. Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the U.S. Revolving Lenders to share in such U.S. Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, provided that all principal and interest payable on such U.S. Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the U.S. Swingline Lender until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to such U.S. Revolving Lender purchasing the same from and after such date of purchase.

-77-

~~(iii)~~(iii) If at any time that U.S. Swingline Loans are outstanding a U.S. Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of such U.S. Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are U.S. Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without giving effect to any such Defaulting ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s U.S. Revolving Commitments) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’’ U.S. Revolving Commitments plus such Defaulting ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s pro rata share of such Swingline Loans does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’’ U.S. Revolving Commitments and (y) the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a) is satisfied at such time; provided that, subject to Section 12.28, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a non-Defaulting Lender pursuant hereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, any Lender, the U.S. Administrative Agent or U.S. Swingline Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a non-Defaulting Lender. If the reallocation described above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the U.S. Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the U.S. Administrative Agent prepay such unreallocated portion of the Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the U.S. Swingline Lender shall be under no obligation to make any U.S. Swingline Loan at any time that any U.S. Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the U.S. Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with this Section 2.2 (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

~~(a)~~ (h) U.S. Agent Advances.

~~(i)~~(i) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the U.S. Administrative Agent is authorized by the U.S. Borrowers and the U.S. Revolving Lenders, from time to time in the U.S. Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 have not been satisfied, to make U.S. Revolving Loans (that may only be ABR Loans) in Dollars to the U.S. Borrowers on behalf of the U.S. Revolving Lenders in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $50,000,000 (provided that, after giving effect to the making of any such ABR Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of U.S. Revolving Loans, U.S. Agent Advances, U.S. Swingline Loans and U.S. Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Total U.S. Revolving Commitment) which the U.S. Administrative Agent, in its good faith judgment, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the U.S. Revolving Loans and other U.S. Obligations (including through ABR Loans for the purpose of enabling the U.S. Borrowers to meet their payroll and associated tax obligations), and/or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to the U.S. Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 12.5 (any of such advances are herein referred to as “U.S. Agent Advances”); provided that U.S. Agent Advances shall not be outstanding for more than 30 consecutive days unless the Availability Conditions are satisfied; provided, further, that the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the U.S. Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s authorization to make U.S. Agent Advances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the U.S. Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time, the U.S. Administrative Agent may require the U.S. Revolving Lenders to fund their risk participations in the U.S. Agent Advances as described in Section 2.2(h)(ii).

~~(ii)~~(ii) Upon the making of a U.S. Agent Advance by the U.S. Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), each U.S. Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the U.S. Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such U.S. Agent Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata Share of the Total U.S. Revolving Commitment. All principal and interest payable on such U.S. Agent Advance shall be for the account of the U.S. Administrative Agent until the date, if any, on which the U.S. Administrative Agent requires any U.S. Revolving Lender to fund its participation in any U.S. Agent Advance purchased hereunder; after such date, the U.S. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such U.S. Revolving Lender, such ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the U.S. Administrative Agent in respect of such U.S. Agent Advance.

~~(iii)~~(iii) The U.S. Agent Advances shall be secured by the Collateral ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral and shall constitute ABR Loans and U.S. Obligations hereunder.

~~1.1~~ 2.3. Canadian Revolving Loans and Borrowing Procedures for Canadian Revolving Loans and Term Loans.

~~(a)~~ (a) Amounts. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Canadian Revolving Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, upon the Canadian ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s request from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Restatement Effective Date to the Revolving Maturity Date, to make revolving loans (the “Canadian Revolving Loans”) to the Canadian Borrower, denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency in Outstanding Amounts not to exceed such Canadian Revolving ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Total Canadian Revolving Commitment so long as after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, the Availability Conditions are satisfied. The Canadian Borrower may use the Canadian Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Canadian Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Canadian Revolving Loans of the applicable Class shall automatically be made as ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to the Canadian Borrower for the payment of interest on such Loans and other Obligations of the Canadian Borrower on the date when due to the extent available in accordance with the foregoing limitations and not paid by the Canadian Borrower and, in each case, as provided for herein.

~~(a)~~ (b) Procedure for Borrowing.

~~(i)~~(i) Each Borrowing of Canadian Revolving Loans or Term Loans by the Canadian Borrower shall be made upon the Canadian ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to the Canadian Administrative Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 (“Canadian Notice of Borrowing”) or Exhibit A-3 (a “Term Notice of Borrowing”), as applicable, which must be received by the Canadian Administrative Agent prior to (i) 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) three Business Days prior to the date of such Borrowing, in the case of LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars or BA Equivalent Loans, (ii) 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) four Business Days prior to the date of such Borrowing, in the case of LIBOR Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and (iii) 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans or ABR Loans, specifying:

~~(A)~~ (A) whether such Borrowing consists of Canadian Revolving Loans or Term Loans;

~~(A)~~ (B) the amount and currency of the Borrowing which must equal or exceed the Minimum Borrowing Amount (and increments of $1,000,000 or the approximate Dollar Equivalent thereof in excess of such amount);

~~(A)~~ (C) the date of the requested Borrowing, which must be a Business Day;

~~(A)~~ (D) whether the Canadian Revolving Loans requested are to be Canadian Prime Rate Loans, ABR Loans, BA Equivalent Loans or LIBOR Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for a Canadian Prime Rate Loan (in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans denominated in Cdn. Dollars), an ABR Loan (in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars) or LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one month, in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Cdn. Dollars)); provided that all Canadian Revolving Loans made by each of the Canadian Revolving Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Canadian Revolving Loans of the same Type;

-79-

~~(ii)~~(ii) In lieu of delivering a Canadian Notice of Borrowing, the Canadian Borrower may give the Canadian Administrative Agent telephonic notice of such request for advances on or before the deadline set forth above (promptly confirmed by delivery of a completed Canadian Notice of Borrowing). The Canadian Administrative Agent at all times shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice in making such Canadian Revolving Loans, regardless of whether any written confirmation is received.

~~(iii)~~(iii) The Canadian Borrower shall not have the right to request a BA Equivalent Loan or a LIBOR Loan while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

~~(a)~~ (c) Reliance upon Authority. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Canadian Borrower delivered to the Canadian Administrative Agent a notice setting forth the account for the Canadian Borrower (each a “Canadian Designated Account”) to which the Canadian Administrative Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Canadian Revolving Loans requested hereunder by the Canadian Borrower. The Canadian Borrower may designate a replacement account from time to time by written notice to the Canadian Administrative Agent duly executed by an Authorized Officer of the Canadian Borrower. All such Canadian Designated Accounts must be reasonably satisfactory to the Canadian Administrative Agent and must be domiciled in Canada.

~~(a)~~ (d) No Liability. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to the Canadian Borrower as a result of acting upon any notice referred to in Sections 2.3(b) and (c), which the Canadian Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an Authorized Officer of the Canadian Borrower. The crediting of Canadian Revolving Loans and Term Loans to a Canadian Designated Account conclusively establishes the obligation of the Canadian Borrower to repay such Canadian Revolving Loans and Term Loans as provided herein.

~~(a)~~ (e) Notice Irrevocable. Any Canadian Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to Section 2.3(b) shall be irrevocable. The Canadian Borrower shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith.

~~(a)~~ (f) Making of Canadian Revolving Loans and Term Loans; Reserves.

~~(i)~~(i) Promptly after receipt of a Canadian Notice of Borrowing or telephonic or electronic notice in lieu thereof, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall notify each Canadian Revolving Lender by telecopy, telephone or e-mail of the requested Borrowing. Each Canadian Revolving Lender shall transfer its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing to the Canadian Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in the applicable currency, to the account from time to time designated by the Canadian Administrative Agent, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the applicable Borrowing. After the Canadian Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s receipt of all proceeds of any Borrowing of Canadian Revolving Loans or Term Loans, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Canadian Revolving Loans or Term Loans available to the Canadian Borrower on the date of the applicable Borrowing by, not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) transferring same day funds to the Canadian Designated Account designated by such Canadian Borrower; provided, however, that no Canadian Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be made on any date unless, after giving effect thereto, the Availability Conditions are satisfied.

~~(ii)~~(ii) The Canadian Administrative Agent may establish Reserves or change any of the Reserves, in the exercise of its reasonable credit judgment, provided that (A) any changes to such reserves will be made in good faith and (B) such Reserves shall not be established or changed except upon not less than five (5) Business Days’’ notice to the Canadian Borrower (unless an Event of Default exists in which event no notice shall be required), and to the extent the Canadian Borrower shall have objected to the addition of or change to such Reserve during such 5 Business Day period, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have taken into consideration the Canadian ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s basis of objection and shall have negotiated in good faith with the Canadian Borrower in order to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution with respect to such Reserve (other than if an Event of Default exists). The Canadian Administrative Agent will be available during such period to discuss any such proposed Reserve or change with the Canadian Borrower and without limiting the right of the Canadian Administrative Agent to establish or change such Reserves in the Canadian Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s reasonable credit judgment, the Canadian Borrower may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Reserve no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably

-80-

satisfactory to the Canadian Administrative Agent. The amount of any Reserve established by the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have a reasonable relationship as determined by the Canadian Administrative Agent in its reasonable credit judgment to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for the Reserve. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Reserve shall not be established to the extent that such Reserve would be duplicative of any specific item excluded as ineligible in the definitions of Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, but the Canadian Administrative Agent shall retain the right, subject to the requirements of this paragraph, to establish Reserves with respect to prospective changes in eligible Collateral that may reasonably be anticipated.

~~(a)~~ (g) Canadian Swingline Commitment.

~~(i)~~(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Canadian Swingline Lender in its individual capacity agrees, at any time and from time to time on and after the Restatement Effective Date and prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, to make a loan or loans (each a “Canadian Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Canadian Swingline Loans” and, together with the U.S. Swingline Loans, the “Swingline Loans”) in Dollars or Cdn. Dollars in the amount of that Borrowing available to the Canadian Borrower by transferring same day funds to the Canadian Designated Account or such other account(s) as may be designated (by not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the day of funding) by the Canadian Borrower in writing. Each Canadian Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Canadian Revolving Loans except that all payments thereon (including interest) shall be made to the applicable Canadian Swingline Lenders. No Canadian Swingline Lender shall make any Canadian Swingline Loan if (1) the Canadian Administrative Agent has received written notice from any Canadian Revolving Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 or Section 6 will not be satisfied on the date of the requested Borrowing, (2) after giving effect to the requested Borrowing, the Availability Conditions would not be satisfied, or (3) such Canadian Swingline Loan would cause the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Canadian Swingline Loans to exceed the Canadian Swingline Commitment. Canadian Swingline Loans shall at all times be maintained as ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable.

~~(ii)~~(ii) On any Business Day, any Canadian Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion (and, if any Canadian Swingline Loan is outstanding for five Business Days, the Canadian Swingline Lender shall on such fifth Business Day), give notice by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) to each Canadian Revolving Lender that all then outstanding Canadian Swingline Loans made by such Canadian Swingline Lender shall be funded with a Borrowing of Canadian Revolving Loans in the same currency in which the then outstanding Canadian Swingline Loans are denominated, in which case Canadian Revolving Loans constituting ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Canadian Borrowing”), as applicable, shall be made to the Canadian Borrower (in the amount of its Canadian Swingline Loans from such Canadian Swingline Lender (in the amount of their Canadian Swingline Loans from such Canadian Swingline Lender) on the next Business Day by each Canadian Revolving Lender based on each ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s Pro Rata Share and in the same currency as the applicable Canadian Swingline Loan is denominated, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to such Canadian Swingline Lender to repay the Canadian Swingline Lender for such outstanding Canadian Swingline Loans. Each Canadian Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Canadian Revolving Loans pursuant to each Mandatory Canadian Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Canadian Swingline Lenders notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Canadian Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.3, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (unless the Canadian Swingline Lenders has received written notice thereof from any Lender as contemplated above prior to the date such Canadian Swingline Loan was made), (iv) the date of such Mandatory Canadian Borrowing, (v) any reduction in the Canadian Revolving Commitments, the Canadian Borrowing Base after any such Canadian Swingline Loans were made or (vi) any fluctuations in exchange rates following the date such Canadian Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Canadian Swingline Lenders, any Mandatory Canadian Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the BIA in respect of the Canadian Borrower), each Canadian Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Canadian Swingline Lenders (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding Canadian Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Canadian Revolving Lenders to share in such Canadian Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, provided that all principal and interest payable on such Canadian Swingline Loans made by any Canadian Swingline Lender shall be for the account of such Canadian Swingline Lender until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to such Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase.

-81-

~~(iii)~~(iii) If at any time that Canadian Swingline Loans are outstanding a Canadian Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of the risk participations in such Canadian Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Canadian Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without giving effect to any such Defaulting ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s Canadian Revolving Commitments) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’’ Canadian Revolving Commitments plus such Defaulting ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s pro rata share of such Swingline Loans does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’’ Canadian Revolving Commitments and (y) the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a) is satisfied at such time; provided that neither such reallocation nor any payment by a non-Defaulting Lender pursuant hereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, any Lender, the Canadian Administrative Agent or Canadian Swingline Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a non-Defaulting Lender. If the reallocation described above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Canadian Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Canadian Administrative Agent prepay such unreallocated portion of the Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Canadian Swingline Lender shall be under any obligation to make any Canadian Swingline Loan at any time that any Canadian Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Canadian Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with this Section 2.3 (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Canadian Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time, the Canadian Administrative Agent may require the Canadian Revolving Lenders to fund their risk participations as described in Section 2.3(h)(ii).

~~(ii)~~(ii) Upon the making of a Canadian Agent Advance by the Canadian Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), each Canadian Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Canadian Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Canadian Agent Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata Share of the Canadian Revolving Commitments. All principal and interest payable on such Canadian Agent Advance shall be for the account of the Canadian Administrative Agent until the date, if any, on which the Canadian Administrative Agent requires any Canadian Revolving Lender to fund its participation in any Canadian Agent Advance purchased hereunder; after such date, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Canadian Revolving Lender, such ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Canadian Administrative Agent in respect of such Canadian Agent Advance.

~~(i)~~(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the U.S. Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to issue for the account of the U.S. Borrowers or its Subsidiaries (so long as a ~~Loan Party~~U.S. Borrower is a co-applicant thereunder) one or more standby or documentary letters of credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency (each a “U.S. Letter of Credit”) from time to time during the term of this Agreement but not later than the Letter of Credit Maturity Date.

~~(ii)~~(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Canadian Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to issue for the account of the Canadian Borrower or their Subsidiaries (so long as a Canadian Loan Party is a co-applicant thereunder) one or more standby or documentary letters of credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency (“Canadian Letter of Credit”) from time to time during the term of this Agreement but not later than the Letter of Credit Maturity Date; provided that in the event a standby or documentary letter of credit is issued for the account of a Subsidiary of the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Borrower shall be a co-borrower in respect of such letter of credit.

~~(iii)~~(iii) Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued under this Agreement on the Restatement Effective Date under the applicable Revolving Facility and for the account of the applicable Borrowers, in each case, indicated on Schedule 2.4 to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Existing Letter of Credit issued by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. shall not be renewed at the relevant time of expiration.

~~(iv)~~(iv) All Canadian Letters of Credit and U.S. Letters of Credit outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement on the Restatement Effective Date shall continue to be outstanding as Canadian Letters of Credit and U.S. Letters of Credit, respectively.

~~(a)~~ (b) Amounts; Outside Expiration Date. A Letter of Credit Issuer shall not issue or cause to be issued any Letter of Credit if: (i) (x) in the case of a U.S. Letter of Credit, the maximum available Dollar Equivalent amount of the requested U.S. Letter of Credit is greater than the Unused U.S. Letter of Credit Subfacility at such time and (y) in the case of a Canadian Letter of Credit, the maximum available Dollar Equivalent amount of the requested Canadian Letter of Credit is greater than the Unused Canadian Letter of Credit Subfacility at such time; (ii) after giving effect to the maximum available Dollar Equivalent amount of the requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from the requesting Borrower in connection with the opening thereof (to the extent such commissions, fees and charges are not paid in cash prior to or at the time of the opening thereof) the Availability Conditions would not be satisfied; (iii) such Letter of Credit has an expiration date on or after the Letter of Credit Maturity Date or more than 12 months from the date of issuance; for the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not apply to any “evergreen” or automatic renewal provision; (iv) such Letter of Credit will have an expiration date on or before the Revolving Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably acceptable to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer (in which case, any participations of any U.S. Revolving Lender or Canadian Revolving Lender, as applicable, in undrawn Letters of Credit shall expire on the Revolving Maturity Date; or (v) such Letter of Credit, when aggregated with the Dollar Equivalent amount of all other outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, would cause such Letter of Credit Issuer to exceed its Letter of Credit Issuer LC Sublimit (it being understood that the Existing Letters of Credit issued by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. are not subject to such Letter of Credit Issuer LC Sublimit). With respect to any Letter of Credit which contains any “evergreen” or automatic renewal provision, each applicable Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal unless any such Lender shall have provided to the applicable Administrative Agent written notice that it declines to consent to any such extension or renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer is entitled to decline to extend or renew such Letter of Credit. If all of the requirements of this Section 2.4 are met and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall decline to consent to any such extension or renewal.

The U.S. Parent Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, must notify the applicable Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer of a requested Letter of Credit by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date. Such notice shall be irrevocable and must specify the currency and original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the Business Day of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the Business Day on which the requested Letter of Credit is to expire, the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit and, in the case of the U.S. Parent Borrower, whether such Letter of Credit is a Canadian Letter of Credit or a U.S. Letter of Credit. The applicable Borrower shall attach to such notice the proposed form of the Letter of Credit.

~~(ii)~~(ii) Responsibilities of the Administrative Agent; Issuance. As of the Business Day immediately preceding the requested issuance date of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Administrative Agent shall determine the amount of the Unused U.S. Letter of Credit Subfacility or the Unused Canadian Letter of Credit Subfacility, as applicable, and applicable Availability as of such date.

~~(iii)~~(iii) No Extensions or Amendment. No Letter of Credit Issuer shall be obligated to extend or amend any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto unless the requirements of this Section 2.4 are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.

-84-

~~(a)~~ (e) Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse immediately the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for any draw under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, and to pay the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of all other charges and fees payable to such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which such Borrower may have at any time against such Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person. Each drawing under any U.S. Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by the U.S. Parent Borrower to the U.S. Administrative Agent for a Borrowing of an ABR Loan in the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing. Each drawing under any Canadian Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by the Canadian Borrower to the Canadian Administrative Agent for a Borrowing of a Canadian Prime Rate Loan by the Canadian Borrower in the amount of such drawing. In each case, the date of Borrowing with respect to such Borrowing shall be the date of such drawing.

~~(a)~~ (f) Letter of Credit Participations.

~~(i)~~(i) Immediately upon the issuance by a Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each U.S. Revolving Lender, in the case of any U.S. Letter of Credit, or each Canadian Revolving Lender, in the case of any Canadian Letter of Credit, as applicable (each such Lender, in its capacity under this Section 2.4, a “Letter of Credit Participant”), and each such Letter of Credit Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each, a “Letter of Credit Participation”), to the extent of such Letter of Credit ~~Participant’s~~Participant’s Pro Rata Share, in each such Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the applicable Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Letter of Credit Participants as provided in Section 3.3 and the Letter of Credit Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.

~~(ii)~~(ii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the Letter of Credit Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

~~(iii)~~(iii) In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the applicable Borrower shall not have repaid such amount in full to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.4(e), the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the applicable Administrative Agent of such failure, and each Letter of Credit Participant with respect to such Letter of Credit shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Letter of Credit ~~Participant’s~~Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars (in the case of any U.S. Letter of Credit) or Cdn. Dollars(in the case of any Canadian Letter of Credit) and in immediately available funds; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit Participant shall be obligated to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer. If a Letter of Credit Issuer so requests, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, any Letter of Credit Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer such Letter of Credit ~~Participant’s~~Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day (or, if such notice is provided after such time, on the next Business Day) in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such Letter of Credit Participant shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment available to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, such Letter of Credit Participant agrees to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer at a

-85-

rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any Letter of Credit Participant to make available to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer its Pro Rata Share of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Letter of Credit Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer its Pro Rata Share of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Letter of Credit Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Letter of Credit Participant to make available to the applicable Administrative Agent such other Letter of Credit ~~Participant’s~~Participant’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

~~(iv)~~(iv) Whenever a Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the applicable Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the Letter of Credit Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the applicable Administrative Agent and such Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each applicable Letter of Credit Participant that has paid its Pro Rata Share of such reimbursement obligation, in the same currency as received and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Letter of Credit ~~Participant’s~~Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Letter of Credit Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Letter of Credit Participants) of the Dollar Equivalent amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective Letter of Credit Participations at the Overnight Rate.

~~(v)~~(v) The obligations of the Letter of Credit Participants to make payments to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, provided, however, that no Letter of Credit Participant shall be obligated to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer its Pro Rata Share of any unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer.

~~(a)~~(g) Indemnification; Exoneration; Power of Attorney.

~~(i)~~(i) Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 2.4, each Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and hold harmless the applicable Letter of Credit Participants, Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’’ fees) which any such Letter of Credit Participant, Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower, except to the extent they are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Letter of Credit ~~Participant’s~~Participant’s, Letter of Credit ~~Issuer’s~~Issuer’s or Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s, as the case may be, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of any Loan Document. The Borrowers’’ obligations under this Section 2.4 shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

~~(ii)~~(ii) Assumption of Risk by the Borrowers. As among the Borrowers, the Letter of Credit Participants, Letter of Credit Issuers and Administrative Agents, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Participants, Letter of Credit Issuers and Administrative Agents shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any officer or authorized signatory of any Borrower in connection with the application for and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any of the Letters of Credit believed in good faith by a Letter of Credit Issuer to be a valid, sufficient and correct document, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, believed in good faith by a Letter of Credit Issuer to be a valid, sufficient and correct document which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) the failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of

-86-

Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Letter of Credit Participants, Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent, including any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority or (I) the applicable Letter of Credit ~~Issuer’s~~Issuer’s honor of a draw for which the draw or any certificate fails to comply in any respect with the terms of the Letter of Credit. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of the Administrative Agents, Letter of Credit Issuers or any Letter of Credit Participants under this Section 2.4(g).

~~(iii)~~(iii) Exoneration. Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (excluding any Lender in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer) shall result in any liability of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Borrower, or relieve any Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person, under or with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or provided for the account of any Borrower.

~~(iv)~~(iv) Rights Against Letter of Credit Issuer. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit any ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s rights, if any, with respect to a Letter of Credit Issuer which arise as a result of the letter of credit application and related documents executed by and between such Borrower and such Letter of Credit Issuer.

~~(v)~~(v) Account Party. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each applicable Letter of Credit Issuer to name such Borrower as the “Account Party” therein and to deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by such Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit issued or to be issued for the account of such Borrower, and to accept and rely upon the Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

~~(a)~~ (h) Supporting Letter of Credit. If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(b) and Section 10.1, any Letter of Credit is outstanding upon the termination of this Agreement, then upon such termination each applicable Borrower shall deposit with the applicable Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Letter of Credit Participants with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower then outstanding, a standby letter of credit (a “Supporting Letter of Credit”) in form and substance satisfactory to such Administrative Agent, issued by an issuer satisfactory to such Administrative Agent in the same currency and in an amount equal to 105% of the greatest amount for which such Letter of Credit may be drawn plus any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit, under which Supporting Letter of Credit the applicable Administrative Agent is entitled to draw amounts necessary to reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Letter of Credit Participants for payments to be made by such Letter of Credit Issuer and such Letter of Credit Participants under such Letter of Credit and any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit. Such Supporting Letter of Credit shall be held by the applicable Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Letter of Credit Participants, as security for, and to provide for the payment of, the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit remaining outstanding.

~~(a)~~ (i) Reallocation of Letter of Credit Participations; Cash Collateralization. If at any time a Letter of Credit Participant with respect to any Letter of Credit becomes a Defaulting Lender, (A) for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund Letter of Credit Participations, the “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund Letter of Credit Participations shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the U.S. Revolving Commitment (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or the Canadian Revolving Commitment (in the case of a Canadian Letter of Credit) of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or the Canadian Revolving Loans (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit) of that Lender or (B) if the U.S. Revolving Commitment (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or the Canadian Revolving Commitment (in the case of a Canadian Letters of Credit) of all applicable non-

-87-

Defaulting Lenders minus the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or the Canadian Revolving Loans (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit) of all applicable Lenders is less than the Letter of Credit Participations of such Defaulting Lender, U.S. Borrowers (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or the Canadian Borrower (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit) shall deposit cash collateral with the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in an amount equal to the unreallocated portion of the Defaulting ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s Letter of Credit Participation in such Letter of Credit which cash collateral shall be held as security by such Letter of Credit Issuer for the Defaulting ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s funding obligations in respect of its Letter of Credit Participation in such Letter of Credit; provided that such reallocation by a non-Defaulting Lender pursuant hereto will not constitute a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, any Lender, the Administrative Agents or any Letter of Credit Issuer may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a non-Defaulting Lender. Upon the earlier of (i) expiration of the Letter of Credit for which cash collateral has been deposited with the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and (ii) the Letter of Credit Participant whose Letter of Credit Participation in such Letter of Credit was reallocated or cash collateralized ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender, such cash collateral shall be returned by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer to the applicable Borrower and/or for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Lender to acquire, refinance or fund Letter of Credit Participations, the “Pro Rata Share” of each Lender shall be computed after giving effect to the Commitment of the Lender who ceased to be a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time that a Letter of Credit Participant with respect to any Letter of Credit is a Defaulting Lender and commitments are reallocated pursuant to clause (i)(A) above, any calculation of Canadian Fronting Fees, Canadian Letter of Credit Fees, Canadian Unused Line Fees, U.S. Fronting Fees, U.S. Letter of Credit Fees or U.S. Unused Line Fees shall be calculated after giving effect to such reallocation.

~~(a)~~ (a) Interest Rates. All outstanding U.S. Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made or incurred until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the ABR (in the case of ABR Loans), the Canadian Prime Rate (in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans), the applicable LIBOR Rate (in the case of LIBOR Loans) or the applicable BA Rate (in the case of BA Equivalent Loans) in each case, plus the Applicable Margin. All Canadian Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made or incurred until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Canadian Base Rate (in the case of ABR Loans), Canadian Prime Rate (in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans), applicable LIBOR Rate (in the case of LIBOR Loans) or the applicable BA Rate (in the case of BA Equivalent Loans), in each case, plus the Applicable Margin.

~~(a)~~ (b) Each change in the ABR or the Canadian Base Rate, as applicable, shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such change, and each change in the Canadian Prime Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans as of the effective date of such change. All interest charges shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year) except that interest charges computed by reference to (i) the ABR under the Canadian Revolving Facility and Canadian Prime Rate and the BA Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and actual days elapsed and (ii) the ABR under the U.S. Revolving Facility or, in the case of LIBOR Loans denominated in Sterling only, the LIBOR Rate, shall be

-88-

computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366, as applicable, days and actual days elapsed.

If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Revolving Loan, Term Loan, Agent Advance or Swingline Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (the “Default Rate”) (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate applicable to ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans made pursuant to the applicable Commitments, as applicable, of the Class with respect to which such interest has accrued plus 2% from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

~~(a)~~ (d) Recalculation of Applicable Margin. In the event that any Borrowing Base Certificate is shown to be inaccurate and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for a fiscal quarter (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrowers shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agents a correct certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the corrected Borrowing Base Certificate for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall immediately pay to the applicable Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.5. This provision shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agents and Lenders with respect to any other remedy hereunder. This provision shall survive payment of all other Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

~~1.1.~~ 2.6. Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then applicable Pro Rata Shares. Each Borrowing of Term Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders in accordance with their then applicable Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Loan Document.

~~1.1.~~ 2.7. Interest Period. At the time a Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or BA Equivalent Loans in accordance with Section 2.8(a), such Borrower shall have the right to elect by giving the applicable Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) the Interest Period or BA Equivalent Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period or BA Equivalent Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower, be a one, two, three, six or (if available from all the Lenders making such Loans as determined by such Lenders in good faith) twelve month period (or such other period of less than six months as to which the Administrative Agent may consent), or in the case of an Interest Period, one week.

-89-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

~~(a)~~(a) the initial Interest Period or BA Equivalent Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or BA Equivalent Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable) and each Interest Period or BA Equivalent Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the preceding Interest Period or BA Equivalent Interest Period expires;

~~1.1.~~ 2.9. Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement with respect to the Canadian Borrower, and the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement payable by the Canadian Borrower are intended to be nominal rates and not

-91-

effective rates or yields. Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest on principal money not in arrears.

~~1.1.~~ 2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.

(a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the applicable Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) below, any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

~~(i)~~ (i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period or the BA Rate for any BA Equivalent Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts and currencies of the Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing or BA Rate Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) (A) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR or bankers’’ acceptances market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” or “BA Rate” and (B) the circumstances described in Section 2.10(e)(i) do not apply; or

~~(i)~~ (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loans or BA Equivalent Loans or Letters of Credit (other than any increase or reduction attributable to Taxes) because of (x) any Change in Law), such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR or bankers’’ acceptances market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

~~(i)~~ (iii) at any time, that, as a result of any Change in Law after the date hereof, such Lender shall incur any new or incremental Taxes with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit or any transaction contemplated hereunder (except for Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 4.5 or any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

~~(i)~~ (iv) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan or BA Equivalent Loans has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR or bankers’’ acceptances market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the applicable Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and to the applicable Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans or BA Equivalent Loans in the applicable currency shall no longer be available until such time as the applicable Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by such Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the applicable Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans or BA Equivalent Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the applicable Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the applicable Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of subclause (iii) above, the applicable Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

-92-

~~(a)~~(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan or BA Equivalent Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the applicable Borrower(s) may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan or BA Equivalent Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected LIBOR Loan or BA Equivalent Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that such Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan denominated in Dollars or BA Equivalent Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan or BA Equivalent Loan into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) or (z) in the case of any LIBOR Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, repay such LIBOR Loan at the end of the then current Interest Period.

~~(a)~~(c) If any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity of any Lender or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s or its ~~parent’s~~parent’s or its ~~Affiliate’s~~Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of such ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s or its ~~parent’s~~parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the applicable ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

~~(a)~~(d) It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 4.5 or (ii) Excluded Taxes.

~~(a)~~(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if an Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that:

~~(i)~~(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period in a particular currency or the BA Rate for any BA Equivalent Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate or BA Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

~~(i)~~(ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or BA Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the applicable Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR, the LIBOR Screen Rate or the BA Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

then, promptly after such determination (or if later, in the case of clause (ii), not later than 90 days prior to the Scheduled Unavailability Date), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders (a “LIBOR Successor Notice” or “BA Successor Notice”, respectively); or

-93-

~~(i)~~(iii) new syndicated loans have started to adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR Rate or the BA Rate, then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the applicable Administrative Agent or receipt by either Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR or the BA Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the applicable Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all applicable Lenders and the applicable Borrower(s) unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. Such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the applicable Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the applicable Administrative Agent.

If no Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the applicable Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the applicable Borrower(s) and each applicable Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans in the applicable currency or BA Equivalent Loans, as applicable shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods or BA Equivalent Loans or BA Equivalent Interest Periods), and (y) the LIBOR Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining ABR or the Canadian Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower(s) may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans in the applicable currency (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or BA Equivalent Loans (to the extent of the affected BA Equivalent Loans or BA Equivalent Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans to the extent such request is a Borrowing denominated in Dollars (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to the extent such request is a Borrowing of BA Equivalent Loans, as applicable, in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

For purposes hereof, “Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of ABR, Canadian Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the applicable Administrative Agent in consultation with the applicable Borrower(s), to reflect the adoption of such Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the applicable Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the applicable Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the applicable Administrative Agent determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

~~1.1.~~ 2.11. Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan or BA Equivalent Loan is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan or the last day of the BA Equivalent Interest Period for such BA Equivalent Loan or any such Loan is converted to an ABR Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period or BA Equivalent Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.8, 2.10, 4.1, 4.2 or 12.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 10 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or BA Equivalent Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan or BA Equivalent Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan or any BA Equivalent Loan is not continued as a BA Equivalent Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan or BA Equivalent Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2, then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative

-94-

Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan or BA Equivalent Loan.

~~1.1.~~ 2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b) or 4.5 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the provisions of Section 12.6) to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the applicable Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10 or 4.5.

~~1.1~~ 2.13. Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10 or 2.11 is given by any Lender more than 270 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 271st day prior to the giving of such notice to the applicable Borrower.

The Borrowers hereby grant to the applicable Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Letter of Credit Participants, a security interest in such cash collateral to secure all Obligations of such Borrowers in respect of such Letters of Credit under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Letter of Credit Participants, such further documents and instruments as the applicable Administrative Agent may at such time request to evidence the creation and perfection of such security interest in such cash collateral account. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the applicable Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit (or, in the case of the Canadian Borrower, all Canadian Letters of Credit) shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all Letters of Credit (or, in the case of the Canadian Borrower, all Canadian Letters of Credit) shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Letter of Credit Obligations shall have been satisfied, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the applicable Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party or as beneficiary of any security granted pursuant to the Security Documents shall have any right to exercise remedies in respect of such security without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

In connection with any acceleration of the Obligations as contemplated by clause (ii) above, the Designated Obligations shall, automatically and with no further action required by any Administrative Agent, any Loan Party or any Lender, be converted into Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof, determined using the Spot Rate calculated as of the date of such acceleration and from and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Designated Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder.

Any amount received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from any U.S. Borrower or Non-Borrowing Base Foreign Guarantor or on account of any ~~U.S.~~ Collateral (other than Canadian Collateral) following any acceleration of the Obligations under this Agreement or any Event of Default with respect to the U.S. Parent Borrower under Section 10.5 (or received by any Lender in any proceeding with respect to any U.S. Borrower or Non-Borrowing Base Foreign Guarantor under Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under applicable law) shall be applied subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement:

~~SECTION 1.~~ SECTION 11. The Agents

~~1.1.~~11.1. Appointment.

~~(a)~~(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the applicable Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Administrative Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Administrative Agent.

~~(a)~~(b) The Administrative Agents, the Swingline Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and each Lender hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as the agent with respect to the Collateral, and each of the Administrative Agents, the Swingline Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any of the Swingline Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Administrative Agents or the Lenders, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

~~(a)~~(c) Without limiting the powers of the Collateral Agent, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted to the Attorney (as defined below) pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec to secure the prompt payment and performance of any and all Obligations by any Loan Party, each of the Secured Parties (to the extent a party hereto) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Collateral Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of the creditors as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec (in such capacity, the “Attorney”), and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any related deed of hypothec. The Attorney shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney pursuant to any such deed of hypothec and applicable law, and (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Collateral Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the any Secured Party to the extent a party thereto and Loan Parties. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the

-145-

Attorney as the person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity. The substitution of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11 also constitutes the substitution of the Attorney.

~~(a)~~(d) The Lead Arrangers and any Person named as a Co-Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent on the cover of this Agreement, in their respective capacities as such, shall not have any obligations, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Section 11.

~~1.1.~~11.2. Delegation of Duties. Each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither any Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

~~1.1.~~11.3. Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any other Agent or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such ~~Person’s~~Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

~~1.1.~~11.4. Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agents, the Swingline Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or the Collateral Agent. Each Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with such Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agents, the Swingline Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agents, the Swingline Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

~~1.1.~~11.5. Notice of Default. Neither the Administrative Agents nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default. In the event that an Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required

-146-

Lenders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agents shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as they shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable.

~~1.1.~~11.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender. Each Lender, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower and other Loan Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and any other Loan Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

~~1.1.~~11.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, each in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Aggregate Revolving Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Aggregate Revolving Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 11.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

~~1.1.~~11.8. Agents in Their Individual Capacities. The Agents and their Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower and any other Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent or such other Agent were not the Administrative Agent or such other Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agents in their individual capacities.

-147-

11.9. Successor Agents. Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, (i) each Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may be removed by the U.S. Parent Borrower or the Required Lenders if such Agent, or a controlling affiliate of such Agent is a Defaulting Lender and (ii) each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as an Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively, in each case upon ten days’’ notice to the other Agents, the Lenders and the U.S. Parent Borrower, as applicable. If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be removed by the U.S. Parent Borrower or the Required Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above or if an Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which such successor agent shall be subject to approval by the U.S. Parent Borrower; provided that such approval by the U.S. Parent Borrower in connection with the appointment of any successor Administrative Agent shall only be required so long as no Event of Default under Section 10.1 or 10.5 has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that the U.S. Parent Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any successor Agent if such successor is a commercial bank with a consolidated combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000. Upon the successful appointment of a successor agent, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the applicable Agent (including the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent under the Parallel Debt), and the term “U.S. Administrative Agent,” “Canadian Administrative Agent,” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s rights, powers and duties as such Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. In connection with the appointment of a successor agent, the retiring Collateral Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its rights under the Parallel Debts to any such successor collateral agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under any Dutch Security Document to such successor collateral agent (it being understood that any indemnities and other protections provided to the Collateral Agent under the Dutch Security Documents will continue to inure to the benefit of the retiring Collateral Agent as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent). After any retiring ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 (including this Section 11.9) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.

11.10. Parallel Debt.

(a) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to its Corresponding Obligations as they may exist from time to time (each a “Parallel Debt”).

(b) Each Parallel Debt will be payable in the currency or currencies of the Corresponding Obligation and will become due and payable at the same time as the Corresponding Obligation becomes due and payable. An Event of Default in respect of the payment of the Corresponding Obligations shall constitute a default within the meaning of section 3:248 of the Dutch Civil Code with respect to the payment of the Parallel Debts without any notice being required.

(c) The rights of the Collateral Agent under each Parallel Debt are its own claims to receive payment from the Loan Parties, several and independent from the rights of the Secured Parties to receive payment of the Corresponding Obligations of the relevant Loan Party.

(d) An amount received by the Collateral Agent in discharge of a Parallel Debt will discharge the Corresponding Obligation in an equal amount.

(e) The aggregate amount outstanding under the Parallel Debts will never exceed the aggregate amount outstanding under the Corresponding Obligations.

(f) For the purpose of this Section 11.10, the Collateral Agent acts as the creditor of the Parallel Debts.

~~1.1.~~11.11. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, each Administrative Agent shall withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason

-148-

(including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the applicable Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless each Administrative Agent (to the extent that such Agent has not already been reimbursed by any Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such tax 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 any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agents to setoff any amounts owing to such Lender against any amounts owing to the Agents pursuant to this Section 11.10. For the avoidance of doubt the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 11.10, include any Swingline Lender and any Letter of Credit Issuer.

~~1.1.~~11.12.

~~(i)~~(iv) Such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

~~(A)~~ (A) the U.S. Parent Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the U.S. Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender (unless increased costs including payments under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 4.5 would result therefrom unless an Event of Default under Section 10.1 or Section 10.5 has occurred and is continuing), an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 10.1 or Section 10.5 has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided, further, that consent to an assignment by the Borrowers shall be deemed to have been given if the U.S. Parent Borrower does not expressly withhold consent thereto within 10 Business Days of a Lender requesting in writing such consent from the Borrowers; and

~~(A)~~ (B) the applicable Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall be made to (i) the U.S. Parent Borrower, any Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) a Defaulting Lender or (iii) a natural person.

~~(ii)~~(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

~~(A)~~ (C) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, unless each of the U.S. Parent Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the U.S. Parent Borrower shall be required if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.1 or Section 10.5 has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.6 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 clause (c) of this Section 12.6.

~~(iv)~~(iv) Each Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the applicable Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and fees owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, each Register shall contain the name and address of the applicable Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, each Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

~~(v)~~(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the ~~assignee’s~~assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 12.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 12.6, the applicable Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.

~~(a)~~ ~~(i)~~ (c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or any Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments), provided that (A) such ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such ~~Lender’s~~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 or any other Loan Document, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 12.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 12.6, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 4.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations of those Sections) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 12.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.8(b) (subject to the requirements and limitations of the Section). Each Lender that sells participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amount of each ~~Participant’s~~Participant’s interest in the Revolving Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Revolving Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

-155-

~~(ii)~~(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 4.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant except to the extent that the entitlement to any greater payment results from any Change in Law after the Participant becomes a Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

~~(a)~~ (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other “central” bank, and this Section 12.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, the Borrowers hereby agree that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after any Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, each Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at such ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Parent Borrower, evidencing the Loans owing to such Lender.

~~(a)~~ (e) If the Borrowers wish to replace all of the Loans or Commitments hereunder with ones having different terms, they shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agents and subject to any required prepayment notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments, to require the Lenders to assign all of the Loans and Commitments to the applicable Administrative Agent or its designees. Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments shall be purchased at par, accompanied by payment of any accrued interest thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.11. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned all of the Loans and Commitments pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

~~(a)~~ (f) Subject to Section 12.16, the Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s possession concerning a Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s credit evaluation of such Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

~~(a)~~ (g) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance 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.

~~(a)~~ (h) The Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Letter of Credit Issuer, the Canadian Swingline Lenders and the Canadian Revolving Lenders each represent and warrant that it is a Qualified Canadian Lender as of the Restatement Effective Date (it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, HSBC Bank USA, National Association shall constitute a Canadian Revolving Lender hereunder and it is not resident in Canada and is not deemed to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and deals at arm’s length with each Canadian Loan Party for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)).

~~(a)~~ ~~(A)~~ (i)(A) Where at any time an interest (including a participation) in a Canadian Obligation becomes held by a Lender or other Person that is not a Qualified Canadian Lender including, for the avoidance of doubt, by reason of the holder of any interest or participation in a Canadian Obligation ceasing to be a Qualified Canadian Lender, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall forthwith deliver to the Canadian Borrower a notice in writing stating that an interest in such Canadian Obligation is held by a Person that is not a Qualified Canadian Lender and the jurisdiction of residence for tax purposes of such Lender. Such notice shall be delivered to the Canadian Borrower no later than 5 Business Days prior to the date on which the Canadian Borrower is first obligated to make a payment in respect of the Canadian Obligation for the benefit of a Person who is not a Qualified Canadian Lender.

Each U.S. ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the release of any other U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 12.1 or the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by an Agent and/or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to an Agent and/or any Lender, (iv) the failure by an Agent and/or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower, (v) an ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s and/or any ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of an ~~Agent’s~~Agent’s and/or any ~~Lender’s~~Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower. With respect to any U.S. ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans or other credit extensions made to any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such U.S. Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which an Agent and/or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to an Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to an Agent and/or any Lender. Upon any Event of Default, the Agents may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any U.S. Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each U.S. Borrower consents and agrees that the Agents shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any U.S. Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, none of the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.21 shall apply to any Person released from its Obligations as a U.S. Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with Section 12.1.

~~1.1.~~12.22. Contribution and Indemnification Among the U.S. Borrowers. Each U.S. Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. To the extent that any U.S. Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another U.S. Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other U.S. Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the U.S. Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other U.S. Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other U.S. Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other U.S. ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the U.S. Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each U.S. Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such U.S. Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such U.S. Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such U.S. Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such U.S. Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification, and reimbursement under this Section shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

~~1.1.~~12.23. Agency of the U.S. Parent Borrower for Each Other U.S. Borrower. Each of the U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers irrevocably appoints the U.S. Parent Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement, including the giving and receipt of notices and execution and delivery of all documents, instruments, and certificates contemplated herein (including, without limitation, execution and delivery to the Administrative Agents of Borrowing Base Certificates and Notices of Borrowing) and all modifications hereto. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification, or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all or any of the U.S. Borrowers or acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the U.S. Parent Borrower, whether or not any of the other Borrowers join therein, and the Administrative Agents and the Lenders shall have no duty or obligation to make further inquiry with respect to the authority of the U.S. Parent Borrower under this Section 12.23; provided that nothing in this Section 12.23 shall limit the effectiveness of, or the right of the Agents and the Lenders to rely upon, any notice (including without limitation a Notice of Borrowing), document, instrument, certificate, acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action delivered by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

~~1.1.~~12.24. Express Waivers by U.S. Borrowers in Respect of Cross-Guaranties and Cross-Collateralization. Each U.S. Borrower agrees as follows:

~~(a)~~(a) Each U.S. Borrower hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of the making of any Loans, the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Obligations, subject, however, to such U.S. ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s right to make inquiry of the U.S. Administrative Agent to ascertain the amount of the Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such U.S. ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s risk with respect to such other Borrower under the Loan Documents; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any promissory notes or other instruments among the Loan Documents; and (vi) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such U.S. Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to which such U.S. Borrower is a party) and demands to which such U.S. Borrower might otherwise be entitled.

~~(b)~~(b) Each U.S. Borrower hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require an Agent or any Lender to institute suit against any other U.S. Borrower or to exhaust any rights and remedies which an Agent or any Lender has or may have against any other U.S. Borrower. Each U.S. Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other U.S. Borrower (other than the defense of payment in full) or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any such U.S. Borrower in respect thereof.

~~(c)~~(c) Each U.S. Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any Agent, any Lender, or any Letter of Credit Issuer: (i) any defense (legal or equitable) other than a defense of payment, set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such U.S. Borrower may now or at any time hereafter have against any other Borrower or any other party liable under the Loan Documents; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim of any kind or nature available to any other Borrower (other than a defense of payment) against any Agent, any Lender, or any Letter of Credit Issuer, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor; (iii) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Agent, any Lender, or any Letter of Credit Issuer under any applicable law; (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any other ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s liability hereunder.

~~(d)~~(d) Each U.S. Borrower consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such U.S. Borrower and without affecting or impairing the obligations of such Borrower hereunder, the Agents may (subject to any requirement for consent of any of the Lenders to the extent required by this Agreement), by action or inaction: (i) compromise, settle, extend the duration or the time for the payment of, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to or otherwise not enforce the Loan Documents; (ii) release all or any one or more parties to any one or more of the Loan Documents or grant other indulgences to any other Borrower in respect thereof; (iii) amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any of the Loan Documents; or (iv) release or substitute any Person liable for payment of the Obligations, or enforce, exchange, release, or waive any security for the Obligations.

-165-

~~(e)~~(e) Each U.S. Borrower represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of all other Borrowers and all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each U.S. Borrower further represents and warrants that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each U.S. Borrower agrees that neither the Agents, any Lender, nor any Letter of Credit Issuer has any responsibility to inform any U.S. Borrower of the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

~~1.1.~~12.25. Canadian ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s Obligations Several and Not Joint. The Canadian Borrower will not have any obligations with respect to U.S. Obligations.

~~1.1.~~12.26. Eligible Contract Participants. Notwithstanding any provision hereof or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in the event that any ~~Canadian~~ Guarantor is not an “eligible contract participant” as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, at the time (i) any transaction is entered into under a Hedge Agreement or (ii) such ~~Canadian~~ Guarantor becomes a Loan Party hereunder, the ~~Canadian~~ Obligations of such ~~Canadian~~ Guarantor shall not include, only to the extent and for so long as the ~~Canadian~~ Obligations of such ~~Canadian~~ Guarantor shall be prohibited from including such transactions under the Commodity Exchange Act, (x) in the case of clause (i) above, such transaction and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, any transactions outstanding under any Hedge Agreements as of the date such ~~Canadian~~ Guarantor becomes a ~~Canadian~~ Guarantor hereunder.

~~1.1.~~12.27. Keepwell. The U.S. Parent Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such the U.S. Parent ~~Borrower’s~~Borrower’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 12.27 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount) and without limitation of the foregoing, the U.S. Parent Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment and performance by each Specified Loan Party of its obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to all Swap Obligations. The obligations and undertakings of the U.S. Parent Borrower under this Section 12.27 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. The U.S. Parent Borrower intends this Section 12.27 to constitute, and this Section 12.27 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

~~1.1.~~12.28. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

~~(a)~~(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

~~(b)~~(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

~~(i)~~ (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

-166-

~~(i)~~ (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

~~(i)~~ (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

12.29. Notification of Dutch Pledge over Intercompany Receivables. The Collateral Agent hereby notifies each Loan Party of the pledge created by Univar Netherlands Holding B.V. (the “Pledgor”), pursuant to the Dutch Security Agreement, over all present and future rights of the Pledgor against any Loan Party “Intercompany Receivables”). Each Loan Party is deemed to acknowledge and confirm (i) that it has received notification of the pledge in favor of the Collateral Agent over the Intercompany Receivables owed by it to the Pledgor, and (ii) it consents to the pledge over the Intercompany Receivables it owes from time to time to the Pledgor.

12.30. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 12.30, the following terms have the following meanings:

“ BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“ Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“ Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D)
