(f) Amendment to Section 2.1.1. Clause (a) of Section 2.1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following text is substituted in its stead:

Term Loan.

3


Thousand Dollars ($27,500,000) (the “Original Tranche B U.S. Term Loan”) and (Y) on the Second Amendment Effective Date, a term loan in the principal amount equal to its Pro Rata share of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) (the “Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan” and together with the Original Tranche B U.S. Term Loan, the “Tranche B U.S. Term Loan”), and (iii) the Canadian Borrower a term loan in the principal amount equal to its Pro Rata share of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Tranche B Canadian Term Loan” and, together with the Tranche B U.S. Term Loan, the “Tranche B Term Loan” and such Tranche B Term Loan together with the Tranche A Term Loan, collectively the “Term Loan”), provided that, in no event shall the aggregate Term Loan made by any Lender exceed such Lender’s Commitment. The Commitments shall be terminated upon the funding of the Term Loan (other than the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan) on the Third Amendment Effective Date, and the Commitment for the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan shall be terminated upon the funding of the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan on the Second Amendment Effective Date. The Term Loan is not a revolving credit facility and may not be repaid and redrawn and any repayments or prepayments of principal on the Term Loan shall permanently reduce the Term Loan. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disburse the proceeds of the Term Loan (other than the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan) on the Third Amendment Effective Date, and the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan on the Second Amendment Effective Date, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan (other than the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan) shall be due and payable on the Termination Date, and any remaining outstanding amounts of the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan Termination Date.”

(g) Amendment to Section 3.2.1. Section 3.2.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Early Termination Fee. In the event prior to the third anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date, upon the occurrence of an Applicable Premium Trigger Event, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the Early Termination Fee; provided, that no Early Termination Fee shall be payable in respect of any prepayment of Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan that is prepaid (or in the case of an Applicable Premium Trigger Event occurring under clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the definition thereof, deemed to be prepaid) after December 15, 2015. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated as a result of the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default (including by operation of law or otherwise), the Early Termination Fee, if any, determined as of the date of acceleration, will also be due and payable and will be treated and deemed as though the Term Loans were prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein. Any Early Termination Fee payable in accordance with this Section 3.2.1 shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of the Applicable Premium Trigger Event, and the Loan Parties agree that

 

4


it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Early Termination Fee, if any, shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING EARLY TERMINATION FEE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Loan Parties expressly agree that (A) the Early Termination Fee is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (B) the Early Termination Fee shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Early Termination Fee, (D) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 3.2.1, (E) their agreement to pay the Early Termination Fee is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Term Loans, and (F) the Early Termination Fee represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such Applicable Premium Trigger Event. ”

(h) Amendment to Section 5.2. Section 5.2 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating Section 5.2 of the Loan agreement in its entirety as follows:

Repayment of Term Loan.

Section 5.2.1. The Term Loan and all other Obligations (other than the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan) shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder pursuant to Section 11.2. The Borrowers promise to pay on the Maturity Date, or on such earlier date as payment is required hereunder pursuant to Section 11.2, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on such date, the Total Outstandings, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other fees and other amounts then accrued and outstanding with respect thereto. The Term Loan may be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.2, 2.3, 5.1 and Section 5.5.

Section 5.2.2. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan shall be due and payable in two amortization payments on the dates set forth in the following schedule, unless payment is sooner required hereunder pursuant to Section 11.2 (the “Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan Amortization Payments”). Any remaining outstanding amounts of the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Second Amendment Tranche B U.S. Term Loan Termination Date:”
