(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the US Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to make revolving credit loans (“US Revolving Credit Loans”) in Dollars to the US Borrower from time to time during the US Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding for each US Revolving Credit Lender which, when added to such Lender’s US Revolving Credit Percentage of the sum of (i) the US L/C Obligations then outstanding and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s US Revolving Credit Commitment. During the US Revolving Credit Commitment Period the US Borrower may use the US Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying in whole or in part, and reborrowing the US Revolving Credit Loans, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The US Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the US Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.13, provided, that no US Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Loan after the day that is one month prior to the US Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) The US Borrower from time to time may request the Administrative Agent to consent to an increase in the aggregate US Revolving Credit Commitments on the following terms:

(i) The aggregate amount of all such increases shall not exceed $25,000,000.

(ii) No Lender will be obligated to provide or commit for any such increase.

(iii) If the Administrative Agent consents to any such increase and determines that one or more of the Lenders or other Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative

Agent and US Borrower are willing to commit to provide such increase, such increase will be effective on the date the Administrative Agent receives an amendment to this Agreement executed by the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender or other Person, adding, in the case of an existing Lender, such commitment to Annex B-2 and, in the case of a Person not then already a Lender, confirming that such Person has become a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Such amendment will not require the consent of any other Lender.

(iv) On the effective date of such amendment, each Lender or other Person committing to provide such increase shall fund US Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to its US Revolving Credit Percentage (after giving effect to such amendment) of the aggregate US Revolving Credit Loans outstanding immediately before giving effect to such amendment, and the proceeds of such funding shall be applied to repay on a pro rata basis the US Revolving Credit Loans outstanding before giving effect to such amendment. Each Lender receiving any such repayment will be entitled to all amounts payable under Section 2.21 in connection therewith

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to make revolving credit loans (“Canadian Revolving Credit Loans”) in Canadian Dollars to the Canadian Borrower from time to time during the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding for each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender which, when added to such Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Percentage of the Canadian L/C Obligations then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment. During the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Period the Canadian Borrower may use the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying in whole or in part, and reborrowing the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Canadian Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be by way of Banker’s Acceptance or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in Canadian Dollars only, as determined by the Canadian Borrower and notified to the Canadian Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.13, provided, that no Canadian Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as a Banker’s Acceptance after the day that is one month prior to the Canadian Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(e) The Canadian Borrower shall repay all outstanding Canadian Revolving Credit Loans on the Canadian Revolving Credit Termination Date. If for any reason the Canadian Borrower is prohibited from making any required payment in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars at the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Dollar payment amount.

(f) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Section 2.4 or in Section 3.1 or any other provision of this Agreement relating to (i) the availability and permitted maximum outstanding amounts of US Revolving Credit Loans, US L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans or (ii) availability and permitted maximum outstanding amounts of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and Canadian Letters of Credit, the Borrower will not cause or permit the aggregate outstanding amount of US Revolving Credit Loans, US L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and Canadian L/C Obligations (converted to Dollars at the Exchange Rate) to exceed the then amount of the Total US Revolving Credit Commitments.

2.5. Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. (a) The US Borrower may borrow under the US Revolving Credit Commitments on any Business Day during the US Revolving Credit Commitment Period, provided, that the US Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a

Borrowing Notice (which Borrowing Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time), (a) three Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans. Any US Revolving Credit Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be Base Rate Loans. Each borrowing of US Revolving Credit Loans under the US Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available US Revolving Credit Commitments are less than $1,000,000 such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that the Swing Line Lender may request, on behalf of the US Borrower, borrowings of Base Rate Loans under the US Revolving Credit Commitments in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon receipt of any such Borrowing Notice from the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each US Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Each US Revolving Credit Lender will make its US Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of each borrowing of US Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the US Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time on the Borrowing Date requested by the US Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the US Borrower by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Canadian Borrower may borrow under the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments on any Business Day during the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Period, provided, that the Canadian Borrower shall deliver to the Canadian Agent a Borrowing Notice (which Borrowing Notice must be received by the Canadian Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, Toronto time one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Banker’s Acceptances). Any Canadian Revolving Credit Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Each borrowing of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans under the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans, Cdn. $500,000 or a whole multiple of Cdn. $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments are less than Cdn. $100,000 (or, if applicable, the Dollar Equivalent thereof), such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Banker’s Acceptance, Cdn. $500,000 and a whole multiple of Cdn. $100,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such Borrowing Notice from the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender will make its Canadian Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of each borrowing of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans available to the Canadian Agent for the account of the Canadian Borrower at the Canadian Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, Toronto time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Canadian Borrower in funds immediately available to the Canadian Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Canadian Borrower by the Canadian Agent in like funds as received by the Canadian Agent.

(c) The Canadian Borrower hereby designates the US Borrower as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing Borrowing Notices and notices of conversion or continuation, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, selecting interest rate options, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of the Canadian Borrower under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the US Borrower as a notice or communication from the Canadian Borrower and the US Borrower. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of the Canadian Borrower by the US Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by the Canadian Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against the Canadian Borrower to the same extent as it if the same had been made directly by the Canadian Borrower.

(d) (i) On each Borrowing Date on which Banker’s Acceptances are to be accepted, the Canadian Agent shall advise the Canadian Borrower as to the Canadian Agent’s determination of the applicable Discount Rate for the Banker’s Acceptances which any of the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders have agreed to purchase.

(ii) Each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall purchase a Banker’s Acceptance accepted by it, and the Canadian Borrower shall sell such Banker’s Acceptance at the applicable Discount Rate. The relevant Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall provide to the Canadian Agent on the Borrowing Date the Discount Proceeds less the Acceptance Fee payable by the Canadian Borrower with respect to the Banker’s Acceptance. On any date on which a conversion or continuance of a maturing Banker’s Acceptance shall occur, the Canadian Agent shall be entitled to net all amounts payable on such date by that Canadian Agent to Canadian Revolving Credit Lender against all amounts payable on such date by such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender to the Canadian Agent. Similarly, on any Borrowing Date on which Banker’s Acceptances are to be accepted, the Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender to net all amounts payable on such day by such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender to the Canadian Agent for the account of the Canadian Borrower, against all amounts payable on such day by the Canadian Borrower to such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with the Canadian Agent’s calculations.

(iii) Each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender may from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Banker’s Acceptances accepted and purchased by it; provided that it shall not sell or dispose of any Banker’s Acceptance to a Non-Canadian Lender.

(iv) To facilitate the issuance of Banker’s Acceptances, the Canadian Borrower hereby appoints each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender, blank forms of Banker’s Acceptances. In this respect, it is each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of Banker’s Acceptances for acceptance under this Agreement. The Canadian Borrower recognizes and agrees that all Banker’s Acceptances signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall bind the Canadian Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of the Canadian Borrower. Each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender is hereby authorized to issue such Banker’s Acceptance endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender; provided, that the aggregate face amount thereof is equal to the aggregate face amount of Banker’s Acceptances required to be accepted and purchased by such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender. No Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Canadian Revolving Credit Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. Each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall maintain a record with respect to Banker’s Acceptances held by it in blank hereunder, voided by it for any reason, accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and cancelled at their respective maturities. Each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender agrees to provide such records to the Canadian Borrower at the Canadian Borrower’s expense upon request.

(v) Drafts drawn by the Canadian Borrower to be accepted as Banker’s Acceptances shall be signed by a duly authorized officer or officers of the Canadian Borrower or by its attorneys including attorneys appointed pursuant to this Section 2.5. Notwithstanding that any Person whose signature appears on any Banker’s Acceptance may no longer be an authorized signatory for the Canadian Borrower at the time of issuance of a Banker’s Acceptance, that signature shall nevertheless be valid and

sufficient for all purposes as if the authority had remained in force at the time of issuance and any Banker’s Acceptance so signed shall be binding on the Canadian Borrower.

(vi) The Canadian Agent, promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Notice for Banker’s Acceptances, shall advise the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders of the notice and shall advise each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender of the face amount of Banker’s Acceptances to be accepted by it and the applicable Interest Period (which shall be identical for all Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders). The aggregate face amount of Banker’s Acceptances to be accepted by a Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall be determined by the Canadian Agent by reference to that Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Percentage of the issue of Banker’s Acceptances, except that, if the face amount of a Banker’s Acceptance which would otherwise be accepted by a Canadian Revolving Credit Lender would not be Cdn. $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof, the face amount shall be increased or reduced by the Canadian Agent in its sole discretion to Cdn. $100,000, or the nearest whole multiple of that amount, as appropriate; provided, that after such issuance, no Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall have aggregate outstanding Canadian Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment.

(vii) The Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a Canadian Revolving Credit Lender in respect of a Banker’s Acceptance accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of the Banker’s Acceptance being held, at the maturity thereof, by the Canadian Revolving Credit Lender in its own right and the Canadian Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if the Canadian Revolving Credit Lender as holder sues the Canadian Borrower on the Banker’s Acceptance for payment of the amount payable by the Canadian Borrower thereunder.

(viii) Whenever the Canadian Borrower requests a Canadian Revolving Credit Loan under this Agreement by way of Banker’s Acceptances, each Non BA Lender shall, in lieu of accepting a Banker’s Acceptance, make a BA Equivalent Loan in an amount equal to the Non BA Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Percentage of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loan.

(ix) As set out in the definition of Banker’s Acceptances, that term includes Discount Notes and all terms of this Agreement applicable to Banker’s Acceptances shall apply equally to Discount Notes evidencing BA Equivalent Loans with such changes as may in the context be necessary. For greater certainty:

(a) the term of a Discount Note shall be the same as the Interest Period for Banker’s Acceptances accepted and purchased on the same Borrowing Date in respect of the same Canadian Revolving Credit Loan;

(b) an acceptance fee will be payable in respect of a Discount Note and shall be calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the Acceptance Fee in respect of a Banker’s Acceptance; and

(c) the Discount Rate applicable to a Discount Note shall be the Discount Rate applicable to Banker’s Acceptances accepted by the Canadian Agent (as Canadian Revolving Credit Lender) on the same Borrowing Date, as the case may be, in respect of the same Canadian Revolving Credit Loan.

(x) At the option of any Canadian Revolving Credit Lender, Banker’s Acceptances under this Agreement to be accepted by that Canadian Revolving Credit Lender may be issued in the form of depository bills for deposit with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the

Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada). All depository bills so issued shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 2.5.

(xi) If at any time any Banker’s Acceptances are to be paid prior to their maturity, the Canadian Borrower shall be required to deposit the amount of such prepayment in a cash collateral account with the Canadian Agent until the date of maturity of those Banker’s Acceptances and otherwise pursuant to cash collateral arrangements satisfactory to the Canadian Agent. The cash collateral account shall be under the sole control of the Canadian Agent. Except as contemplated by this Section 2.5, neither the Canadian Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of the Canadian Borrower shall have any right to any of the cash in the cash collateral account. The Canadian Agent shall apply the cash held in the cash collateral account to the face amount of those Banker’s Acceptances at maturity whereupon (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) any cash remaining in the cash collateral account shall be released by the Canadian Agent to the Canadian Borrower.

(xii) The Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay the Canadian Agent for the account of each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender on the maturity date (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for each Banker’s Acceptance created by such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender for the account of the Canadian Borrower, the aggregate undiscounted face amount of each such then maturing Banker’s Acceptance. Payment for any such Banker’s Acceptance may be satisfied by a conversion or continuance pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.13.

2.6. Swing Line Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees that, during the US Revolving Credit Commitment Period, it will make available to the US Borrower in the form of swing line loans funded and repayable solely in Dollars (“Swing Line Loans”) a portion of the credit otherwise available to the US Borrower under the US Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s other outstanding US Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect or such Swing Line Lender’s US Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the US Borrower shall not request, and the Swing Line Lender shall not make, any Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swing Line Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available US Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. During the US Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the US Borrower may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swing Line Loans shall be Base Rate Loans only;

(b) The US Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swing Line Loans on the US Revolving Credit Termination Date; and

(c) At any time when any Default or Event of Default is continuing, the Swing Line Lender may suspend or terminate the Swing Line Commitment.

2.7. Procedure for Swing Line Borrowing; Refunding of Swing Line Loans. (a) The US Borrower may borrow under the Swing Line Commitment on any Business Day during the US Revolving Credit Commitment Period, provided, the US Borrower shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date. Each borrowing under the Swing Line Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in the

borrowing notice in respect of any Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loan. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loan available to the US Borrower on such Borrowing Date in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the US Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swing Line Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each US Revolving Credit Lender to make, and each US Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to make, a US Revolving Credit Loan (which shall initially be a Base Rate Loan), in an amount equal to such US Revolving Credit Lender’s US Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender. Each US Revolving Credit Lender shall make the amount of such US Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such US Revolving Credit Loans shall be made immediately available by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender for application by the Swing Line Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swing Line Loans.

(b) If prior to the time a US Revolving Credit Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(a), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the US Borrower, or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, US Revolving Credit Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(a), each US Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the date such US Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(a) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swing Line Loans by paying to the Swing Line Lender an amount (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such US Revolving Credit Lender’s US Revolving Credit Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding which were to have been repaid with such US Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the US Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing Line Loans.

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any US Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swing Line Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such US Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

(d) Each US Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(a) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such US Revolving Credit Lender or the US Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the other Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the

other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the either Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the either Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other US Revolving Credit Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.8. Repayment of Loans: Evidence of Debt. (a) The US Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate US Revolving Credit Lender (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each US Revolving Credit Loan of such US Revolving Credit Lender on the US Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the US Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8) and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of such Swing Line Loan of such Swing Line Lender on the US Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the US Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). The US Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Term Loan Lender the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Term Loan Lender made to the US Borrower in installments according to the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.3 (or on such earlier date on which the Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to this Agreement), and in any event will pay all outstanding amounts on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Canadian Agent for the account of the appropriate Canadian Revolving Credit Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Revolving Credit Loan of such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender on the Canadian Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). Each of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, hereby further agree to pay interest and acceptance fees on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans borrowed by the US Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, from time to time outstanding from the Closing Date until payment in full thereof at the rate per annum and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the US Borrower, or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Canadian Agent, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable, or to become due and payable from the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the US Borrower or by Canadian Agent from the Canadian Borrower, and each Lender’s share thereof. The Canadian Agent will provide the Administrative Agent with such information relating to the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility as may be requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, to repay (with applicable

interest) the Loans made to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Each of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent by any Lender, the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the US Borrower, evidencing any Term Loans, US Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans, or of the Canadian Borrower of any Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit G-l, G-2, G-3 or G-4 respectively (a “Term Note.” “US Revolving Credit Note.” “Swing Line Note” or “Canadian Revolving Credit Note,” respectively), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Closing Date or the making of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit or to the enforceability of any Obligation on the Closing Date.

2.9. Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The US Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each US Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the US Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available US Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof and on the US Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to US Revolving Credit Loans and the Canadian Revolving Termination Date with respect to Canadian Revolving Credit Loans.

(b) The US Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the US Borrower and the Agents.

2.10. Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. Each of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent with respect to the US Revolving Credit Commitments and the Canadian Agent with respect to the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments, to terminate the US Revolving Credit Commitments or the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the US Revolving Credit Commitments or the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; provided, that no such termination or reduction of US Revolving Credit Commitments or the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, (i) the aggregate amount of US Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of US Revolving Credit Commitments or (ii) the aggregate amount of Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 in the case of the US Revolving Credit Commitments, or Cdn. $100,000, in the case of the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the applicable US Revolving Credit Commitments or the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, then in effect.

2.11. Optional Prepayments. (a) Each of the Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as otherwise provided herein), upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (and, with respect to the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, the Canadian Agent) no later than three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans or Banker’s Acceptances and no later than one Business Day prior thereto in the case

of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such prepayment is of Term Loans, US Revolving Credit Loans or Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, and whether such prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, Banker’s Acceptances, Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans; provided, that (i) if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the US Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21, (ii) prepayments of Banker’s Acceptances shall be made in accordance with Section 2.5(d) and (iii) no prior notice is required for the prepayment of Swing Line Loans. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent (or the Canadian Agent, if applicable) shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of (1) Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans, (2) Swing Line Loans and (3) Canadian Prime Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or Cdn. $1,000,000, as applicable, or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

(b) In the event that, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, any Term Loan Lender receives a Repricing Prepayment (as defined below), then, at the time thereof, the US Borrower shall pay to such Lender a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% (the “Prepayment Fee”) of the amount of such Repricing Prepayment. As used herein, with respect to any Term Loan Lender, a “Repricing Prepayment” is the amount of principal of the Term Loans of such Lender that is either (a) prepaid by the US Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 l(a) substantially concurrently with the incurrence by any Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of new term loans that have interest rate margins lower than, the Applicable Margin then in effect for the Term Loans so prepaid or (b) received by such Lender as a result of the mandatory assignment of such Term Loans in the circumstances described in Section 2.24(c) following the failure of such Lender to consent to an amendment of this Agreement that would have the effect of reducing the Applicable Margin with respect to such Term Loans; provided however that such Repricing Prepayment shall not include any prepayment made in connection with (i) the repayment of all of principal and interest due on Loans under this Agreement, (ii) the termination of all of the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Agreement and (iii) the payment of all other obligations due and owing under the Loan Documents.

2.12. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any Capital Stock shall be issued and sold in an IPO, then on the date of such issuance and sale, the Term Loans shall be prepaid on a pro rata basis (and after the Term Loans are prepaid the outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit shall be prepaid or cash collateralized and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced, in each case, on a pro rata basis) by an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate cash proceeds of such issuance and sale, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs paid by the issuer, except for any cash proceeds received as a result of the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters. The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the issuance of any equity securities by any entity whose equity securities are pledged pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

(b) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any Indebtedness shall be incurred by the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2), then no later than the first Business Day following the date of such issuance or incurrence, the Term Loans shall be prepaid on a pro rata basis (and after the Term Loans are prepaid the outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit shall be prepaid or cash collateralized

and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced, in each case, on a pro rata basis) by an amount equal to 100% of the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance or incurrence. The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the incurrence of any indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries not permitted by Section 7.2.

(c) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event, then unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, the Term Loans shall be prepaid promptly, and in any event not later than seven days, after the date of receipt by the US Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds, on a pro rata basis (and after the Term Loans are prepaid the outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit shall be prepaid or cash collateralized and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced, in each case, on a pro rata basis) by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date the Term Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event. The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.5.

(d) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if, for any fiscal year of the US Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, the Term Loans shall be prepaid on a pro rata basis (and after the Term Loans are prepaid the outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit shall be prepaid or cash collateralized and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced, in each case, on a pro rata basis) by an amount equal to the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow. Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than ten days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the US Borrower referred to in Section 6.1 (a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered.

(e) If at any time, the aggregate amount of outstanding Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and Canadian L/C Obligations (converted to Dollars at the Exchange Rate) exceeds the then amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Canadian Borrower will repay such excess forthwith without notice or demand. If at any time, the aggregate outstanding amount of US Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and US L/C Obligations plus Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and Canadian L/C Obligations (converted to Dollars at the Exchange Rate) exceeds the then amount of the Total US Revolving Credit Commitments, then without notice or demand the US Borrower and Canadian Borrower will prepay their respective outstanding amounts in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

2.13. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The US Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent, at least one Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice of such election and the Canadian Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Banker’s Acceptances upon their maturity to Canadian Prime Rate Loans by giving the Canadian Agent, at least one Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided, that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The US Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor) and the Canadian Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Banker’s

Acceptances, provided, that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan and no Canadian Prime Rate Loan may be converted into a Banker’s Acceptance (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility and provided, further that in the case of any conversion of Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Banker’s Acceptances, the Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Agent for the account of the Canadian Revolving Credit Lender such additional amounts, if any, as shall be necessary to effect the payment in full of the respective Canadian Prime Rate Loans being converted on such date. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) The US Borrower may elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto and the Canadian Borrower may elect to continue Banker’s Acceptance as such upon its maturity by giving at least three Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, and with respect to Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, the Canadian Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 in respect of Eurodollar Loans, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided, that in the case of any continuation of any Banker’s Acceptance, the Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Agent for the account of the respective Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders such additional amounts, if any, as shall be necessary to effect the payment in full of the respective Banker’s Acceptances maturing on such date; provided, that no Eurodollar Loan or Banker’s Acceptance under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or with respect to the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the Canadian Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided, further, that if the US Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this Section 2-13(b) (x) such Eurodollar Loans or Banker’s Acceptance, as applicable, shall be continued and for the same Interest Period as the then expiring Interest Period as of the last day of such then expiring Interest Period, except that if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the first proviso in this Section 2.13(b), such Loans shall be repaid or converted automatically to Base Rate Loans and (y) the face amount of such Banker’s Acceptance shall be repaid or automatically converted to Canadian Prime Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and interest shall accrue on the amount thereof from such date at the rate then applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.14. Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (i) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Banker’s Acceptances and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that after giving effect

thereto, the aggregate principal amount of any Banker’s Acceptance shall be equal to Cdn. $500,000 or a whole multiple of Cdn. $100,000 in excess thereof.

2.15. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(c) Each Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(d) Upon acceptance of a Banker’s Acceptance by a Lender, the Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Agent on behalf of such Lender a fee (the “Acceptance Fee”) calculated on the face amount of the Banker’s Acceptances at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for such day on the basis of the number of days in the Interest Period for the Banker’s Acceptance and a year of 365 days.

(e) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), then such overdue amount (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans (other than Banker’s Acceptances), the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.00% per annum, (y) (1) in the case of the US Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the US Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.00% per annum or (2) in the case of the Canadian Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations and Banker’s Acceptances, the rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans under the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder 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 equal to (i) the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2.00% per annum for interest due in Dollars and (ii) the Canadian Prime Rate plus 2.00% per annum for interest due in Canadian Dollars (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the US Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.00% per annum for amounts due in Dollars and the Canadian Prime Rate plus 2,00% per annum for amounts due in Canadian Dollars), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(f) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided, that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.15(e) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(g) If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations or other amount payable to the Canadian Agent or any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Canadian Agent or such Lender of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to

have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Canadian Agent or such Lender of interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid to the Canadian Agent or the affected Lender under this Section 2.15(g); and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Canadian Agent or the affected Lender which would constitute interest with respect to the Canadian Obligations for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Canadian Agent or any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Canadian Agent or the affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from the Canadian Agent or such Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Canadian Agent or such Lender to the Canadian Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest under fee Canadian Obligations referred to in this Section 2.15(g) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Canadian Revolving Credit Loans remain outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Canadian Revolving Credit Termination Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Canadian Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

(h) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a 360 or 365 day year or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent to the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360, 365 or such other period of time, respectively.

2.16. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees, commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to (i) Base Rate Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate and (ii) Canadian Prime Rate Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Canadian Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the US Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Canadian Prime Rate, the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent, or with respect to Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, the Canadian Agent, shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent, or with respect to Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, the Canadian Agent, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall, at the request of the applicable Borrower, deliver to such Borrower, a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate or Acceptance Fee pursuant to Section 2.15.

2.17. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the US Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(ii) Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the US Borrower, and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the US Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans; or

(b) any Canadian Revolving Credit Lender determines in good faith, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Canadian Borrower, and notifies the Canadian Borrower that, by reason of circumstances affecting the money market there is no market for Banker’s Acceptances or the demand for Banker’s Acceptances is insufficient to allow the sale or trading of the Banker’s Acceptances created hereunder, then:

(i) the right of the Canadian Borrower to request a Canadian Revolving Credit Loan by means of Banker’s Acceptances shall be suspended until the Canadian Agent determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and the Canadian Agent so notifies the Canadian Borrower; and

(ii) any notice for the issuance of a Banker’s Acceptance which is outstanding shall be cancelled and the request for such issuance shall be deemed to be a request for a Canadian Prime Rate Loan in the principal amount of the requested Banker’s Acceptance;

and such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly notify the Canadian Borrower of the suspension of the Canadian Borrower’s right to request a Canadian Revolving Credit Loan by way of a Banker’s Acceptance and of the termination of any such suspension.

2.18. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Loan Percentages, US Revolving Credit Percentages or Canadian Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders; provided, that for purposes of determining the ratable shares of the US Revolving Credit Lenders in any funding of US Revolving Credit Loans or participations in Swing Line Loans or US L/C Obligations, the amount of the US Revolving Credit Commitment of any US Revolving Credit Lender that is also a Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall be reduced by the amount

of its Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit then outstanding, converted to Dollars at the Exchange Rate. Each payment of interest in respect of the Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the US Borrower on account of principal of the Term Loans outstanding under the Term Loan Facility shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders holding such Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of such Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders, and each prepayment shall, at the US Borrower’s option, be applied to the installments of such Term Loans either (i) pro rata based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments or (ii) first, in direct order, to the next four succeeding installments of such Term Loans and then pro rata to the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) of the US Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated among the US Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the US Revolving Credit Loans then held by such US Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated among the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans then held by such Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letters of Credit.

(d) The application of any payment of Loans under any Facility (including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans (and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in the case of the Canadian Borrower), under such Facility and, second, to Eurodollar Loans (and Banker’s Acceptances, in the case of the Canadian Borrower) under such Facility. Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the US Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by a Borrower after 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Canadian Borrower hereunder with respect to the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, Toronto time, on the due date thereof to the Canadian Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Canadian Payment Office, in Canadian Dollars or Dollars (based on the currency applicable to such amount) and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Canadian Borrower after 12:00 Noon, Toronto time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next following Business Day. The Canadian Agent shall distribute such payments to the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans and Banker’s Acceptances) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a

Eurodollar Loan or Banker’s Acceptance becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, such Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to such Agent, and such Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for amounts in Dollars and the interbank offered rate quoted by the Canadian Agent for amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to such Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the applicable Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the US Borrower or, the Canadian Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Canadian Borrower.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall have been notified in writing by the US Borrower, or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, prior to the date of any payment due to be made by such Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the applicable Agent, the applicable Agent may assume that such Borrower, is making such payment, and the applicable Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the applicable Agent by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, within three Business Days after such due date, the applicable Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for amounts in Dollars and the interbank offered rate quoted by the Canadian Agent for amounts in Canadian Dollars. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or any Lender against the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower.

2.19. Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or

change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, of a written request therefor, the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable (with a copy to the applicable Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. No Lender shall be entitled to request any payment pursuant to this Section 2.19 unless such Lender is generally demanding payments under comparable provisions of its agreements with similarly situated borrowers. In addition, neither the US Borrower nor the Canadian Borrower shall be required to compensate any Lender for any such increased costs or reduced return incurred by such Lender more than 6 months prior to such Lender’s written request to such Borrower as required above for such compensation unless such increased costs or reduced return incurred by such Lender is incurred retroactively, in which event such 6 month period shall be extended by the period of retroactivity.

2.20. Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s, the Canadian Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the US Borrower nor the Canadian Borrower shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 2.20(d) or Section 2.20(e), (ii) in the case of any Non-U.S. Lender, that are United States of America withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or such Lender at the time the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent’s, the Canadian Agent’s or such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the applicable Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.20(a) or (iii) in the case of any Canadian Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Canadian Lender, that are Canadian withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender at the time the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent’s, the Canadian Agent’s or such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the applicable Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.20(a). The applicable Borrower and any applicable Guarantor shall make any required withholding and pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(b) In addition, the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the relevant Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower showing payment thereof. If the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the applicable Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any such Agent

or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) making, participating in, or receiving an assignment with respect to a Loan to the US Borrower, that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or any estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI and/or Form W-8IMY, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code and a Form W-8BEN and/or Form W-8IMY, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the US Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. If any Non-U.S. Lender provides a Form W-8IMY, such Non-U.S. lender must also attach the additional documentation that must be transmitted with the Form W-8IMY, including the appropriate forms described in this Section.

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of a non-U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent, as applicable, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested in writing by the relevant Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Requirements of Law or as may be required by the applicable Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(f) If a Lender receives a refund in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower and/or the Canadian Borrower or with respect to which the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall, within 180 days from the date of such receipt, pay over the amount of such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (including any taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as determined by such Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to

repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower (plus applicable interest imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(g) Each Lender (other than a Lender that is only a Canadian Revolving Credit Lender) that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and promptly from time to time thereafter if any form previously delivered becomes inaccurate or upon the request of the US Borrower or Administrative Agent), two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. If any such Lender fails to deliver Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) as required herein, or fails to notify the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form, then the US Borrower may withhold from any payment to such Lender the applicable United States federal backup withholding tax imposed by the Code and remit such amount to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable Requirements of Law, without reduction, and such Lender shall not be entitled to any additional amounts under this Section 2.20 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided however that a Lender that may properly be treated as an “exempt recipient” within the meaning of Treasury regulations section 1.6049-4(c) (without regard to the last sentence of section 1.6049-4(c)(l)(i)), based on the indicators in such section, shall not be required to provide such Form W-9.

2.21. Indemnity. The US Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the US Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the US Borrower, has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Canadian Borrower in proceeding with the issuance of Banker’s Acceptances (or the Discount Notes in lieu thereof) after delivery of notice thereof pursuant to Section 2.5(b), (c) default by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower in making any prepayment after the US Borrower, or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (d) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the US Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.22. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, then such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and such Lender shall on such day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice

Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender or (b) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to Eurodollar Loans requested through a Borrowing Notice or notice of conversion, such Lender shall make such Loan as a Base Rate Loan on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the US Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21.

2.23. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the US Borrower or the Canadian 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 take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.21 would be reduced; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage and provided, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22.

2.24. Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the US Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the US Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after the US Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.1, the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Credit Commitments, if any, in full to one or more eligible assignees under Section 10.6 (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and Terminated Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, that (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, together with, in the case of any assignment pursuant to Section 2.24(c), the Prepayment Fee, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings of Letters of Credit that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.9; (2) on the date of such assignment, the US Borrower and/or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender

pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.22; and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided, that the US Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Lender unless, prior to or simultaneously with the effectiveness of such election, the US Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled or to be secured by cash collateral or a back-to-back-to-back letter of credit in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit issued by the Terminated Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitments, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each US Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other US Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the “US Letters of Credit”) for the account of the US Borrower on any Business Day during the US Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such US Issuing Lender; provided, that no US Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any US Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the US L/C Obligations would exceed the US L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available US Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each US Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the US Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, that any US Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Canadian Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(d), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Canadian Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Canadian Borrower on any Business Day during the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Canadian Issuing Lender; provided, that no Canadian Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Canadian Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance (i) the Canadian L/C Obligations would exceed the Canadian L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each Canadian Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Canadian Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Canadian Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, that any Canadian Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(c) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. (a) The US Borrower may from time to time request that a US Issuing Lender issue a US Letter of Credit by delivering to such US Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such US Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such

US Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Concurrently with the delivery of an Application to a US Issuing Lender, the US Borrower shall deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Application, a US Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the US Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such US Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such US Issuing Lender and the US Borrower (but in no event shall any US Issuing Lender be required to issue any US Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by a US Issuing Lender of a US Letter of Credit, such US Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such US Letter of Credit to the US Borrower, as applicable. Each US Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each US Letter of Credit issued by such US Issuing Lender (including the face amount thereof), and shall provide a copy of such US Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent as soon as possible after the date of issuance.

(b) The Canadian Borrower may from time to time request that a Canadian Issuing Lender issue a Canadian Letter of Credit by delivering to such Canadian Issuing Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent, at their addresses for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Canadian Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Canadian Issuing Lender may reasonably request.

Promptly after issuance by a Canadian Issuing Lender of a Canadian Letter of Credit, such Canadian Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Canadian Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent. Each Canadian Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent of the issuance of each Canadian Letter of Credit issued by such Canadian Issuing Lender (including the amount thereof).

3.3. Fees and Other Charges. (a) (i) The US Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding US Letters of Credit opened for its account at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the US Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the US Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective US Revolving Credit Percentages and (ii) the Canadian Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Canadian Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Banker’s Acceptances under the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Canadian Revolving Credit Percentages and each such fee is payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be payable in the same currency as the Letter of Credit to which such fees relate and in addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it at a rate to be agreed by the applicable Borrower and such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the US Borrower shall pay or reimburse each US Issuing Leader and the Canadian Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Canadian Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

3.4. L/C Participations. (a) Each US Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each US L/C Participant, and, to induce each US Issuing Lender to issue US Letters of Credit hereunder, each US L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each US Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such US L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such US L/C Participant’s US Revolving Credit Percentage in each US Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each US Letter of Credit issued by such US Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such US Issuing Lender thereunder. Each US L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each US Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any US Letter of Credit issued by such US Issuing Lender for which such US Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the US Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such US L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such US Issuing Lender upon demand at such US Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such US Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such US L/C Participant’s US Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each US L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such US L/C Participant may have against the US Issuing Lender, the US Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of either Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by either Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other US L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any US L/C Participant to an US Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such US Issuing Lender under any US Letter of Credit is paid to such US Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the US Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the US L/C Participants and each such US L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the US Issuing Lender on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the US Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such US Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any US L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such US Issuing Lender, by such US L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such US Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such US L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the US Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such US Issuing Lender submitted to any US L/C Participant with respect to any such amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after any US Issuing Lender has made payment under any US Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent any US L/C Participant’s pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such US Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such US Letter of Credit (whether directly from the US Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such US Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such US Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such US L/C Participant (and thereafter, the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such US L/C Participant) its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such US Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such US Issuing Lender, such US L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such US Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such US Issuing Lender to it.

(d) Each Canadian Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Canadian L/C Participant, and, to induce each Canadian Issuing Lender to issue Canadian Letters of Credit hereunder, each Canadian L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Canadian Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such Canadian L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such Canadian L/C Participant’s Canadian Revolving Credit Percentage in each Canadian Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Canadian Letter of Credit issued by such Canadian Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Canadian Issuing Lender thereunder. Each Canadian L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Canadian Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Canadian Letter of Credit issued by such Canadian Issuing Lender for which such Canadian Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Canadian Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Canadian L/C Participant shall pay to the Canadian Agent for the account of such Canadian Issuing Lender upon demand at such Canadian Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and thereafter the Canadian Agent shall promptly pay to such Canadian Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such Canadian L/C Participant’s Canadian Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each Canadian L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Canadian L/C Participant may have against the Canadian Issuing Lender, the Canadian Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of either Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by either Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Canadian L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(e) If any amount required to be paid by any Canadian L/C Participant to a Canadian Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(d) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Canadian Issuing Lender under any Canadian Letter of Credit is paid to such Canadian Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Canadian Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent who shall promptly notify the Canadian L/C Participants and each such Canadian L/C Participant shall pay to the Canadian Agent, for the account of the Canadian Issuing Lender on demand (and thereafter the Canadian Agent shall promptly pay to the Canadian Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average interbank offered rate quoted by the Canadian Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Canadian Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 365 (or 366 as applicable). If any such amount required to be paid by any Canadian L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(d) is not made available to the Canadian Agent, for

the account of such Canadian Issuing Lender, by such Canadian L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Canadian Agent, on behalf of such Canadian Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Canadian L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility for amounts due in Dollars and Canadian prime Rate Loans for amounts due in Canadian Dollars. A certificate of the Canadian Agent on behalf of such Canadian Issuing Lender submitted to any Canadian L/C Participant with respect to any such amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f) Whenever, at any time after a Canadian Issuing Lender has made payment under any Canadian Letter of Credit and has received from the Canadian Agent any Canadian L/C Participant’s pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(d), such Canadian Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Canadian Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Canadian Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Canadian Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Canadian Issuing Lender will distribute to the Canadian Agent for the account of such Canadian L/C Participant (and thereafter, the Canadian Agent will promptly distribute to such Canadian L/C Participant) its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Canadian Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Canadian Issuing Lender, such Canadian L/C Participant shall return to the Canadian Agent for the account of such Canadian Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Canadian Issuing Lender to it.

3.5. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. (a) The US Borrower agrees to reimburse each US Issuing Lender, on the Business Day on which such US Issuing Lender notifies the US Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any US Letter of Credit and paid by such US Issuing Lender (if such notice is received prior to 11:00 A.M. New York City time on such day, otherwise on the next Business Day after such notice is received), for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). The US Issuing Lender shall provide notice to the US Borrower on each Business Day on which a draft is presented and paid by the US Issuing Lender indicating the Payment Amount, provided, that failure to provide such notice shall not affect the US Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Each such payment shall be made to such US Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in Lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in Section 2.15. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in Section 8(f)(i) or Section 8.1(f)(ii) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the US Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by US L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the US Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.7 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of US Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.7), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant US Issuing Lender of such drawing under such US Letter of Credit. All payments due from the US Borrower hereunder in respect of US Letters of Credit (and US Reimbursement Obligations in connection therewith) shall be made in Dollars.

(b) The Canadian Borrower agrees to reimburse each Canadian Issuing Lender, on each date on which such Canadian Issuing Lender notifies the Canadian Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Canadian Letter of Credit and paid by such Canadian Issuing Lender (if such notice is received prior to 11:00 A.M. Toronto time on such day, otherwise on the next Business Day after such notice is received), for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Canadian Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Canadian Payment Amount”). The Canadian Issuing Lender shall provide notice to the Canadian Borrower on each Business Day on which a draft is presented and paid by the Canadian Issuing Lender indicating the Canadian Payment Amount stated in Canadian Dollars. Each such payment shall be made to such Canadian Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in Canadian Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on the amount of each Canadian Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.15(e) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.15(f). Each drawing under any Canadian Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in Section 8(f)(i) or Section 8.1(f)(ii) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by Canadian Borrower to the Canadian Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5(b) of Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5(b), if the Canadian Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Canadian Agent received notice from the relevant Canadian Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Canadian Letter of Credit. All payments due from the Canadian Borrower hereunder in respect of Canadian Letters of Credit (and Canadian Reimbursement Obligations in connection therewith) shall be made in Canadian Dollars.

3.6. Obligations Absolute. The US Borrower’s and the Canadian Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that either the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower also each agree with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the US Borrower’s and the Canadian Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the US Borrower and/or the Canadian Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the either the US Borrower and/or the Canadian Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower each agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and, with respect to Letters of Credit, in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, as applicable.

3.7. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, if such

Letter of Credit is a Canadian Letter of Credit, the Canadian Agent, the US Borrower and, if such Letter of Credit is a Canadian Letter of Credit, the Canadian Borrower, of the date and the amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

3.9. Existing Letters of Credit. On the Closing Date, (i) each Existing Letter of Credit, to the extent outstanding, shall automatically and without further action by the parties thereto be deemed converted to Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 3.2 for the account of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and subject to the provisions hereof, and for this purpose the fees payable with respect to such Letters of Credit issued hereunder pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be payable (in substitution for any fees set forth in the applicable letter of credit reimbursement agreements or applications relating to such letters of credit) as if such Letters of Credit had been issued on the Closing Date, and (ii) each of the Issuing Lenders listed on Schedule 1.1E with respect to its respective Existing Letter Credit shall be deemed to be an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to its Letters of Credit.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, each of the US Borrower (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) and the Canadian Borrower (on behalf of itself) hereby represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender that:

4.1. Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the US Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the Loans to be made on the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (ii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to the US Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the US Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

(b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the US Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, and the audited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows of the US Borrower for the fiscal period or year ended on December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, respectively, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the US Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries or the predecessor of the US Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries, as the case may be, as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal period or years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the US Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month period ended on such

date, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the US Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firms of accountants and disclosed therein). As of the Closing Date, the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that would be required to be reflected in its financial statements in accordance with GAAP that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph or in the notes therein. During the period from December 31, 2005 to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or Property other than as would have been permitted by Section 7.5.

4.2. No Change. Since December 31, 2005, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3. Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. The US Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and which is necessary for the conduct of its operations and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4. Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19, or (iii) where the failure to obtain such approval or consent could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. . Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except to the extent the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).

4.6. No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, threatened by or against the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7. No Default. Neither the US Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8. Ownership of Property; Liens. The US Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material Property, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

4.9. Intellectual Property. Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 4.9, the US Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No material claim has been asserted in writing or is pending by any Person challenging any Intellectual Property owned or used by the US Borrower or any Subsidiary or the validity, enforceability, registration or ownership of any Intellectual Property owned by the US Borrower or any Subsidiary, nor does the US Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. Neither the US Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries knows that the use of Intellectual Property by the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries infringes on the rights of any Person.

4.10. Taxes. The US Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state (United States or otherwise) and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the US Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); and no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

4.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower will furnish to the

Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U.

4.12. Labor Matters. There are no strikes, other labor disputes or work slowdowns against the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters to a degree that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due by the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of wages, employee health and welfare insurance, other benefits or other amounts owing to current or former employees of the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the US Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary. The consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement will not give rise to any right of termination or right to renegotiate any employment agreement or collective bargaining agreement.

4.13. Pension and Benefit Plans.

(a) ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

(b) Canadian Pension Plans and Canadian Benefit Plans. The Canadian Borrower and the US Borrower will cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, promptly upon, and in any event within 5 Business Days of, the Administrative Agent’s request, a copy of each Canadian Benefit Plan and Canadian Pension Plan (or, where any such Canadian Benefit Plan or Canadian Pension Plan is not in writing, a complete description of all material terms thereof) and, if applicable, related trust agreements or other funding instruments and all amendments thereto, and all written interpretations thereof and written descriptions thereof that have been distributed to employees or former employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. The Canadian Pension Plans are duly registered under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any other Requirement of Law which to the knowledge the Canadian Borrower or the US Borrower require registration and no event has occurred which is reasonably likely to cause the loss of such registered status. All material obligations, if any, of the Canadian Borrower or the US Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (including fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) required to be performed pursuant to a Requirement of Law in connection with the Canadian Pension Plans and the funding agreements therefor have been performed in a timely fashion and in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law. There have been no improper withdrawals or applications of

the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a liability in excess of $20,000,000, (i) there are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets held under the funding agreements for the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans and (ii) each Canadian Pension Plan is fully funded both on going-concern basis and on a solvency basis (using actuarial methods and assumptions which are consistent with the valuations last filed with the applicable Governmental Authorities and which are consistent with generally accepted actuarial principles). No promises of benefit improvements under the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans have been made except where such improvement could not reasonably be expected to result in a liability in excess of $20,000,000. All contributions or premiums required to be made or paid by Parent and each of its Subsidiaries, if any, in respect of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans have been made or paid in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such plans and all Requirements of Law. All employee contributions in respect of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans by way of authorized payroll deduction or otherwise have been properly withheld or collected and fully paid into such plans in a timely manner. All material reports and disclosures relating to the Canadian Pension Plans required by such plans and any Requirement of Law to be filed or distributed have been filed or distributed in a timely manner.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Each 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 (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) 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. Each 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 (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), 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.

9.5. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender, the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent 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 it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither any of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 the Loan Parties and their affiliates 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 any 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 Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (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 such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save each Agent harmless 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 such 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 such 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 that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in 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 each Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative 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 successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. The Canadian Agent may resign as Canadian Agent upon 10 days notice to the Lenders and the US Borrower. If the Canadian Agent shall resign as Canadian Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Canadian Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders a successor agent for the Canadian Agent, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the US Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the US Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld of delayed) whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Canadian Agent, and the term “Canadian Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Canadian Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Canadian Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Canadian Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or issuers of Letters of Credit. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Canadian Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Canadian Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Canadian Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Canadian Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the such Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Any Syndication Agents may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of such Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by such Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or

any Lender. Any Documentation Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Documentation Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of such Documentation Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by such Documentation Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 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.

9.10. Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 10.15.

9.11. The Arrangers; the Syndication Agents; the Documentation Agent; the Joint Bookrunners. Neither any Arranger nor any Syndication Agent nor any Documentation Agent nor any Joint Bookrunner, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall any such Person incur any liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.12. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent, as applicable, may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent, as applicable, of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent, as applicable, fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent, as applicable, as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

9.13. Quebec Security. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Canadian Agent or any other Person acting as an agent or mandatary for the Canadian Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, each Lender hereby acknowledges that, for purposes of holding any security granted by any of the Loan Parties on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of such Loan Party under any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness issued by a Loan Party, the Canadian Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Lenders, and in particular for all present and future holders of any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness issued by a Loan Party. Each Lender hereby irrevocably constitutes, to the extent necessary, the Canadian Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in order to hold security granted by any Loan Party in the Province of Quebec to secure the obligations of such Loan Party under any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness that may be issued by a Loan Party and pledged in favor of the Canadian Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. Each assignee of a Lender shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Canadian Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) by execution of the Assignment and Acceptance. The execution by the Canadian Agent, acting as fondé de pouvoir and mandatary, prior to this Agreement, of any deeds of hypothec or other security documents is hereby ratified and confirmed. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec), the Canadian Agent may acquire and be the holder of any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness issued under any deed of hypothec and issue of bonds executed by any

Loan Party in favour of the Canadian Agent as fondé de pouvoir. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that such debenture or bond constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

The Canadian Agent, acting as holding of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir), shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Canadian Agent in the Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. Without limitation, the provisions of Section 9.9 of this Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to the resignation and appointment of a successor Canadian Agent, acting as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir).

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent and each Loan party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

(i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable under this Agreement (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility) and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or Required Prepayment Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the consent of all the Lenders;

(iii) amend, modify or waive any condition precedent to any extension of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility set forth in Section 5.2 (including, the waiver of an

existing Default or Event of Default required to be waived in order for such extension of credit to be made) without the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders;

(iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the consent of all of the Lenders under such Facility;

(v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9, or any other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of any Agent, without the consent of any Agent directly affected thereby;

(vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7 without the consent of the Swing Line Lender, as applicable;

(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.18 without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(ix) impose restrictions on assignments and participations that are more restrictive than, or additional to, those set forth in Section 10.6.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

10.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed (a) in the case of the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower and the Agents, as follows and (b) in the case of the Lenders, as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent or on Schedule I to the Lender Addendum to which such Lender is a party or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, in such Assignment and Acceptance or (c) in the case of any party, to such other address as such party may hereafter notify to the other parties hereto:

Issuing Lenders:	As notified by such Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent and the Borrowers.

provided, that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall not be effective until received.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent, the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

10.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

10.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

10.5. Payment of Expenses. Each of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the charges of Intra links, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and disbursements and other charges of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Agents, (c) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for, and hold each Lender and the Agents harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be

101

payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by an Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by any Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from any property owned, occupied or operated by the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by any third party or by the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of Information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to the address of the US Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, the Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the US Borrower nor the Canadian Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agents and each Lender (and any such transfer or assignment by the Borrower shall be void).

102

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than the Sponsor or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1. Each of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided, that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. Each of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided, that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (and the Canadian Agent, in the case of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans or Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments), at any time and from time to time assign to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee” or, with the consent of the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, (A) in the case of any assignment of US Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the US Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (B) in the case of any assignment of Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the Canadian Issuing Lender (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided, that, the consent of the US Borrower need not be obtained with respect to any assignment of Term Loans), to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee” (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, the US Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Canadian Issuing Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 (with respect to Term Loans) and $2,500,000 (with respect to the Revolving Credit Facilities) (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this

103

Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, neither the consent of the US Borrower nor the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall be required nor shall the prohibition on assignments of Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments to Non-Canadian Lenders apply, for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default under Sections 8(a), (e) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing. For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.6, a Lender may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund by the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance by such assigning Lender and its Affiliate or Related Fund but without written notice of such assignment to the Administrative Agent or delivery of such executed Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (x) the Loan Parties and Agents may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender until such Assignment and Acceptance has been delivered to the Administrative Agent, (y) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver such notice or to deliver the Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent or any other Person shall not affect the legality, validity, or binding effect of such assignment, and (z) an Assignment and Acceptance between an assigning Lender and its Affiliate or a Related Fund shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance. No US Revolving Credit Lender that is also a Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall assign its US Revolving Credit Commitments separately from its Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. In the case of an assignment to an Affiliate or Related Fund pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10.6(c), in which an Assignment and Assumption is not delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Assignor, on behalf of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, shall maintain a register (the “Related Party Register”‘) comparable to the Register. The entries in the Register or Related Party Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, marked “canceled.” The Register shall be available for inspection by the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

104

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) (treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds as a single assignment), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent or with respect to the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments, the Canadian Agent, and the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, the option to provide to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and the applicable Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and applicable Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided, that non-public information with respect to the US

105

Borrower or the Canadian Borrower may be disclosed only with the US Borrower’s or the Canadian Borrower’s consent, as applicable, which will not be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.

10.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to apply to all Lenders and to all payments, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral received by such Lenders in respect of the Obligations of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower hereunder regardless of whether such payment, collateral or proceeds from Collateral received by such Benefited Lender were received by such Lender with respect to the Obligations of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower or and regardless of whether the collateral or proceeds of Collateral were pledged to secure the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the US Revolving Credit Facility or the Term Loan Facility.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may set off deposits, claims or other property of the Canadian Borrower or a Canadian Subsidiary against amounts owed to such Lender unless such amounts owed are Canadian Obligations. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such

106

prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Arrangers, any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.12. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County, NY, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

10.13. Acknowledgments. Each of the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither any Arranger, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Arrangers, the Agents

107

and the Lenders, on one hand, and the US Borrower and the Canadian Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders or among the US Borrower, the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders.

10.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Arrangers, any Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, (d) to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (f) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

10.15. Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.1) to take any action requested by any Loan Party having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraphs (b) or (c) below.

(b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than (i) obligations under Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.5 that are not then due and payable and demanded and (ii) obligations under or in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements) shall have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person. Nevertheless, the Administrative Agent shall, if so requested by any Loan Party at or after such termination, execute, deliver and (if necessary) acknowledge such termination statements or releases as may be necessary or reasonably appropriate to confirm, assure or give notice of such termination and take such actions as may be necessary to redeliver or release all Collateral within its control, in each case at the expense of such Loan Party.

(c) Upon any Disposition of Collateral permitted by Section 7.5 made by any Loan Party to any Person that is not a Loan Party, such Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by

108

the Security Documents, without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person (it being agreed that the Disposition of the property of Direct Parent, including Capital Stock of the US Borrower owned by Direct Parent, will not be in any respect restricted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except only that any such Disposition made prior to consummation of an IPO (other than a Disposition by Direct Parent to a Subsidiary of Direct Parent which thereupon becomes the Direct Parent) shall constitute an Event of Default as set forth in Section 8(j)). Nevertheless, the Administrative Agent shall, if so requested by any Loan Party at or after such release, execute, deliver and (if necessary) acknowledge such termination statements or releases as may be necessary or reasonably appropriate to confirm, assure or give notice of such release and take other such actions as may be necessary to redeliver or release all such Collateral within its control, in each case at the expense of such Loan Party.

10.16. Accounting Changes. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the US Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or successor thereof or, if applicable, the SEC.

10.17. Authorization to Enter Into Standstill Letter. Each Lender and Agent (other than the Administrative Agent) hereby (a) irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute, deliver and perform the obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Standstill Letter and to take or omit to take any and all actions required thereby or, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, appropriate or incidental thereto and (b) agrees (for the direct and enforceable benefit of each party entitled under the Standstill Letter to enforce the obligations of the Administrative Agent thereunder) to be bound by each and all of the obligations of the Administrative Agent set forth in the Standstill Letter to the same extent that the Administrative Agent is bound thereby. Each party hereto (other than the Administrative Agent) hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in entering into the Standstill Letter and in respect of any performance, breach, act, omission, event or occurrence arising from or in any manner related or incidental to the Standstill Letter or any claim or dispute based thereon, arising therefrom or related or incidental thereto, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to each and all of the rights, powers, privileges, protections, immunities and indemnities provided to it under this Agreement, including its indemnification rights under Sections 2.21, 9.7 and 10.5, and the other Loan Documents.

10.18. Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each initial Lender may become a party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.19. WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE US BORROWER, THE CANADIAN BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

109

10.20. Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against a Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 10.20 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of the State of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 10.20 being hereinafter in this Section 10.20 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”); and (b) if, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 10.20(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt of the amount due in immediately available funds, the Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from the US Borrower or the Canadian Borrower under this Section 10.20 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 10.209 means the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.
