Upon any such request for an amendment, the Parent Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree to consider in good faith any such amendment in order to amend the provisions of this Agreement so as to reflect equitably such accounting changes so that the criteria for evaluating the Parent Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such accounting changes as if such accounting changes had not occurred.

No Default or Event of Default shall arise as a result of any limitation or threshold set forth in U.S. Dollars in any Loan Document (other than the limits and sublimits for Revolving Exposure set forth in Article II of this Agreement) being exceeded solely as a result of changes in currency exchange rates from those rates applicable on the first day of the fiscal quarter in which such determination occurs or in respect of which such determination is being made.

(b) (i)The Administrative Agent shall determine the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of any Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, as well as of each component of the Domestic Borrowing Base and the Canadian Borrowing Base, as of each date (with such date to be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) that is on or about the date of each request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, using the Exchange Rate for the applicable currency in relation to U.S. Dollars in effect on the date of determination, and each such amount shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such Letter of Credit (or such Domestic Borrowing Base component or Canadian Borrowing Base component, as the case may be) until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this paragraph (b)(i) (or, in the case of such Domestic Borrowing Base component or Canadian Borrowing Base component, pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii) or (b)(v)) of this Section 1.05.

(iii) The U.S. Dollar Equivalent of any Canadian L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank in Canadian Dollars and not reimbursed by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower shall be determined as set forth in paragraphs (e) or (k) of Section 2.05, as applicable. In addition, the

U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian L/C Exposure shall be determined as set forth in paragraph (k) of Section 2.05, at the time and in the circumstances specified therein.

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers, the applicable Lenders and the Issuing Bank of each calculation of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of each Letter of Credit, Borrowing, B/A accepted and purchased hereunder and L/C Disbursement.

(v) In addition to the requirements set forth in paragraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii) of this Section 1.05, the Administrative Agent shall determine the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of each applicable component of the Domestic Borrowing Base and the Canadian Borrowing Base as of each date (with such date to be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) that is on or about the date of delivery of each Borrowing Base Certificate hereunder, in each case using the Exchange Rate for the applicable currency in relation to U.S. Dollars in effect on the date of determination, and each such amount shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such Domestic Borrowing Base component or Canadian Borrowing Base component until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(v) of this Section 1.05.

If the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply (other than with respect to any time limits set forth therein), mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

The applicable Borrower or Subsidiary’s obligation to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence) or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any reasonable error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to

consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such Borrower or Subsidiary to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the such Borrower or Subsidiary that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or refusal shall be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder, provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower or Subsidiary of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.05(e).

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower or Subsidiary reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to (i) ABR Revolving Loans, in the case of Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Parent Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary, or (ii) Canadian Base Rate Revolving Loans, in the case of Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, if the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary fails to reimburse such L/C Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Revolving Lenders with a Total L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the Total L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, (i) the Parent Borrower and the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower shall deposit in an account with the applicable Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (each, an “L/C Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the U.S. L/C Exposure and the Canadian L/C Exposure, respectively, as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Parent Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such accounts and the Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent a security interest in the L/C Collateral Accounts. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such accounts. Moneys in such accounts shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Total L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with a Total L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the Total L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the applicable Borrower within three Business Days after all such Events of Defaults have been cured or waived.

(k) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Article VII, all amounts (i) that the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of Canadian L/C Disbursements (other than amounts in respect of which the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to paragraph (j) above, if such cash collateral was deposited in Canadian Dollars to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Revolving Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and that the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 in respect of any unreimbursed Canadian L/C Disbursements and (iii) of each Revolving Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary under which a Canadian L/C Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date (or, in the case of any Canadian L/C Disbursement made after such date, on the date such Canadian L/C Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

SECTION 2.06. Canadian Bankers’ Acceptances. (a) Each acceptance and purchase of B/As of a single Contract Period pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.08 shall be made ratably by the Lenders in accordance with the amounts of their Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitments. The failure of any Revolving Lender to accept any B/A required to be accepted by it shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitments

are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to accept B/As as required.

(b) The B/As of a single Contract Period accepted and purchased on any date shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of C$500,000 and not less than C$1,000,000. The face amount of each B/A shall be C$100,000 or any whole multiple thereof. If any Revolving Lender’s ratable share of the B/As of any Contract Period to be accepted on any date would not be an integral multiple of C$100,000, the face amount of the B/As accepted by such Lender may be increased or reduced to the nearest integral multiple of C$100,000 by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. B/As of more than one Contract Period may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five B/A Drawings outstanding (or such greater number as the Administrative Agent shall agree).

(c) To request an acceptance and purchase of B/As, the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing (delivered by hand or facsimile) in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or by telephone not later than 12:00 noon, Toronto time, two Business Days before the date of such acceptance and purchase. Each such request shall be irrevocable and, if telephonic, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower. Each such written and telephonic request shall specify the following information:

(i) the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted and purchased;

(ii) the date of such acceptance and purchase, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) the Contract Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Contract Period” (and which shall in no event end after the Maturity Date); and

(iv) the location and number of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower’s account to which any funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.07.

If no Contract Period is specified with respect to any requested acceptance and purchase of B/As, then the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Contract Period of 30 days’ duration. Promptly following receipt of a request in accordance with this Section 2.06, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Revolving Lender of the details thereof and the amount of B/As to be accepted and purchased by such Lender.

(d) The Canadian Subsidiary Borrower hereby appoints each Revolving Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, as and when deemed necessary by such Lender, blank forms of B/As. It shall be the responsibility of each Revolving Lender to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. The Canadian Subsidiary Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by any Lender shall bind the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower as fully and effectually as if manually signed and duly issued by authorized officers of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower. Each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Lender, provided that the aggregate face amount thereof is equal to the aggregate face amount of B/As required to be accepted by such Lender. No Revolving Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument unless such loss or improper use results from the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (i) received by it from the Administrative

Agent in blank hereunder, (ii) voided by it for any reason, (iii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder and (iv) canceled at their respective maturities. Each Revolving Lender further agrees to retain such records in the manner and for the periods provided in applicable provincial or Federal statutes and regulations of Canada and to provide such records to the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower upon its request and at its expense. Upon request by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower, a Revolving Lender shall cancel all forms of B/A that have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower and that are held by such Lender and are not required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Drafts of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall be signed as set forth in paragraph (d) above. Notwithstanding that any Person whose signature appears on any B/A may no longer be an authorized signatory for any of the Revolving Lenders or the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower at the date of issuance of such B/A, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such B/A so signed shall be binding on the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower.

(f) Upon acceptance of a B/A by a Revolving Lender, such Lender shall purchase, or arrange the purchase of, such B/A from the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower at the Discount B/A Rate for such Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds for the account of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower as provided in Section 2.07. The Acceptance Fee payable by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower to a Revolving Lender under Section 2.12(c) in respect of each B/A accepted by such Lender shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable by such Lender under this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any B/A Drawing resulting from the conversion or continuation of a B/A Drawing or Canadian Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.08, the net amount that would otherwise be payable to the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower by each Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph will be applied as provided in Section 2.08(d).

(g) Each Revolving Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all B/As accepted and purchased by it, provided that no such sale or disposition shall cause the amount payable by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower under Section 2.17 to exceed the amount that would have been payable thereunder in the absence of such sale or disposition.

(h) Each B/A accepted and purchased hereunder shall mature at the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto.

(i) The Canadian Subsidiary Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a Revolving Lender in respect of a B/A accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement that might exist solely by reason of such B/A being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Lender in its own right and the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if such Lender as holder sues the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower on the B/A for payment of the amounts payable by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower thereunder. On the specified maturity date of a B/A, or such earlier date as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower shall pay the Revolving Lender that has accepted and purchased such B/A the full face amount of such B/A (or shall make provision for the conversion or continuation of such B/A in accordance with Section 2.08) in Canadian Dollars, and, after such payment, the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.

(j) At the option of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower and any Revolving Lender, B/As under this Agreement to be accepted by such 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 2.06.

(k) If a Revolving Lender is not a chartered bank under the Bank Act (Canada) or if a Revolving Lender notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it is otherwise unable to accept B/As (each such Lender, a “Non-B/A Lender”), such Lender will, instead of accepting and purchasing B/As, make a Loan (a “B/A Equivalent Loan”) to the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower in the amount and for the same term as the draft that such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Lender may request that such B/A Equivalent Loan be evidenced by a non-interest bearing promissory note, in a form approved by the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each such Lender will provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds of such B/A Equivalent Loan for the account of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower in the same manner as such Lender would have provided the Discount Proceeds in respect of the draft that such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such B/A Equivalent Loan will bear interest at the same rate that would result if such Lender had accepted (and been paid an Acceptance Fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis) a B/A for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such B/A Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the Revolving Lenders and the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower as the B/A that such B/A Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such B/A Equivalent Loan is made and will be deducted from the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Loan in the same manner in which the Discount Proceeds of a B/A would be deducted from the face amount of the B/A. Subject to the repayment requirements of this Agreement, on the last day of the relevant Contract Period for such B/A Equivalent Loan, the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower shall be entitled to convert each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another type of Loan, or to roll over each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another B/A Equivalent Loan, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(l) If the Administrative Agent determines and promptly notifies the Parent Borrower that, by reason of circumstances affecting the money market, there is no market for B/As, (i) the right of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower to request an acceptance and purchase of B/As shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and so notifies the Parent Borrower, and (ii) any notice relating to an acceptance and purchase of B/As that is outstanding at such time shall be deemed to be a notice requesting a Canadian Base Rate Revolving Borrowing (as if it were a notice given pursuant to Section 2.03).

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it and disburse the Discount Proceeds (net of applicable Acceptance Fees) of each B/A to be accepted and purchased by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans or Discount Proceeds (net of applicable Acceptance Fees) available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the such Borrower’s Funding Account, provided that ABR Revolving Loans, U.S. Base Rate Revolving Loans, Canadian Base Rate Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Lenders have made payments to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing or acceptance and purchase of B/As that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing or the applicable Discount

Proceeds (net of the applicable Acceptance Fees), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.07 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of such Borrowing or Discount Proceeds (net of the applicable Acceptance Fees) available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A)(1) if such amount corresponds to a Borrowing made by the Parent Borrower, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (2) if such amount corresponds to a Borrowing made by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (ii) in the case of the Parent Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans or ABR Term Loans, as the case may be, or (iii) in the case of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower, (A) if such amount corresponds to a Borrowing made in U.S. Dollars, the interest rate applicable to U.S. Base Rate Revolving Loans, and (B) if such amount corresponds to a B/A Drawing or a Borrowing made in Canadian Dollars, the interest rate applicable to Canadian Base Rate Revolving Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing or such Lender’s acceptance and purchase of B/As.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Each B/A Drawing shall have a Contract Period as specified in the applicable request therefor. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing or B/A Drawing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing or B/A Drawing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08, it being understood that no B/A Drawing may be converted or continued other than at the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto. The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing or B/A Drawing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing or accepting B/As comprising such B/A Drawing, as the case may be, and the Loans or B/As resulting from an election made with respect to any such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing or B/A Drawing. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (i) in the case of an election that would result in a Borrowing, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election, and (ii) in the case of an election that would result in a B/A Drawing or the continuation of a B/A Drawing, by the time that a request would be required under Section 2.06 if such Borrower were requesting an acceptance and purchase of B/As to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08, no Borrower shall be permitted to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or a Contract Period for B/As that does not comply with Section 2.06(c)(iii) or (iii) convert any Borrowing or B/A Drawing to a Revolving Borrowing or B/A Drawing not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing or B/A Drawing was made. Each such written and telephonic Interest Election Request shall specify the following information:

(i) the Borrowing or B/A Drawing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing or B/A Drawing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing or B/A Drawing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting outstanding credit extension is to be an ABR Borrowing, U.S. Base Rate Revolving Borrowing, Canadian Base Rate Revolving Borrowing, Eurodollar Borrowing or B/A Drawing;

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) in the case of an election of a B/A Drawing, the Contract Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term Contract Period.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or B/A Drawing but does not specify an Interest Period or Contract Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period or Contract Period of one month’s or 30 days’ duration, as applicable. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing or B/A Drawing.

(c) If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing or a B/A Drawing prior to the end of the Interest Period or Contract Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing or B/A is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing or B/A Drawing shall (i) in the case of a Eurodollar U.S. Revolving Borrowing, be converted to an ABR Revolving Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Canadian Revolving Borrowing, be converted to a U.S. Base Rate Revolving Borrowing, (iii) in the case of a Eurodollar Term Borrowing, be converted to an ABR Term Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a B/A Drawing, be converted to a Canadian Base Rate Revolving Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Parent Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or a B/A Drawing and no B/A Drawing outstanding may be continued as a B/A Drawing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall (A) in the case of a Eurodollar U.S. Revolving Borrowing, be converted to an ABR Revolving Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) in the case of a Eurodollar Canadian Revolving Borrowing, be converted to a U.S. Base Rate Revolving Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (C) in the case of a Eurodollar Term Borrowing, be converted to an ABR Term Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) unless repaid, each B/A Drawing shall be converted to a Canadian Base Rate Revolving Borrowing.

(d) Upon the conversion of any Canadian Revolving Borrowing (or portion thereof) to, or the continuation of any B/A Drawing (or portion thereof) as, a B/A Drawing, the net amount that would otherwise be payable to the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower by each Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(f) in respect of such new B/A Drawing shall be applied against the principal of the Canadian

Revolving Loans made by each Revolving Lender as part of such Canadian Revolving Borrowing (in the case of a conversion) or the reimbursement obligation owed to such Lender under Section 2.06(i) in respect of the B/As accepted by such Lender as part of such maturing B/A Drawing (in the case of a continuation) and the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to such Lender an amount equal to the difference between the principal amount of such Canadian Revolving Loans or the aggregate face amount of such maturing B/As, as the case may be, and such net amount.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Initial Term Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Restatement Effective Date and (ii) all Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class, provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000, (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving Commitments and (B) an amount equal to (x) the Total Borrowing Base then in effect minus (y) the Availability Block, (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the U.S. Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the U.S. Revolving Exposure would exceed the Domestic Borrowing Base then in effect, (iv) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Canadian Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Canadian Revolving Exposure would exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitments and (B) the Canadian Borrowing Base then in effect and (v) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the aggregate Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitments would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(c) The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments, Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitments or Term Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.09 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be irrevocable, provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments or the Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitments delivered by a Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon consummation of an acquisition or sale transaction or upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans and B/As; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower on the Maturity Date and the face amount of each B/A of such Borrower, if any, accepted by such Lender as provided in Section 2.06, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower on the Maturity Date and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a

calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made, provided that on each date that a U.S. Revolving Loan is made, the Parent Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 3.06 of the Domestic Security Agreement and the Canadian Security Agreement (or the applicable provisions, if any, of the other Collateral Documents), on each Business Day, at or before 12:00 noon, Local Time, the Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available funds to prepay first, the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) and amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and second, subject to Section 2.05(j), to cash collateralize outstanding Total L/C Exposure, provided that such prepayments shall be applied in a manner that minimizes payments due pursuant to Section 2.16.

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made or B/A accepted by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest and amounts in respect of B/As payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the currency thereof, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of each B/A and the Contract Period applicable thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal, interest due or other amount due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section 2.10 shall be, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans or amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent unless the applicable Borrower shall have already delivered a note representing such Loans, in which case the applicable Borrower shall have the right to have such note returned to it prior to delivering a new note. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Prepayments. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing or amount owed in respect of outstanding B/As, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), subject to the requirements of this Section 2.11, provided that no Term Borrowing shall be prepaid unless, at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such prepayment, (i) no Default described in clause (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no Event of Default described in clause (g) (but only if such Default or Event of Default results from (A) an event or condition that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or (B) a default or event of default in respect of any Material Indebtedness of the kind described in clauses (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Article VII) or (k) of

Article VII has occurred and is continuing and (iii) Reference Availability shall exceed $45,000,000.

(b) In the event and on such occasion that (i) the aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving Commitments and (B) an amount equal to (x) the Total Borrowing Base then in effect minus (y) the Availability Block, (ii) the U.S. Revolving Exposure exceeds the Domestic Borrowing Base then in effect or (iii) the Canadian Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitments or (B) the Canadian Borrowing Base then in effect, the applicable Borrower shall prepay the applicable Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings or amounts owing in respect of outstanding B/A Drawings (or, if no such Borrowings or B/A Drawings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in the applicable L/C Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess within one Business Day after the day of such event or occasion. In addition, the Borrowers shall make (1) any prepayments required by Section 5.12 and (2) any prepayments required by the Senior Secured Notes Indenture as a condition to making an Excess Cash Flow Offer (as defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture).

(c) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings or amounts owing in respect of outstanding B/A Drawings, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings or the B/A Drawing or B/A Drawings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.11.

(d) The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of any ABR Borrowing, U.S. Base Rate Revolving Borrowing, Canadian Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or B/A Drawing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such telephonic notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof, or amount owed in respect of an outstanding B/A Drawing or portion thereof, to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment, provided that if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments or Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. In addition, a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the consummation of an acquisition or asset sale or upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness, in which case such notice may be revoked if the applicable contingency has not occurred. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing or amounts owing in respect of an outstanding B/A Drawing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02 or an acceptance and purchase of B/As as provided in Section 2.06, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing or amounts owing in respect of an outstanding B/A Drawing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such prepaid Borrowing or the B/As included in such B/A Drawing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

(e) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.11 or Article VII to prepay or repay amounts to become due with respect to outstanding B/As shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account. On the last day of the Contract Period of each B/A to be prepaid or repaid, the Administrative Agent shall apply any cash on deposit in the Prepayment Account to amounts due in respect of the relevant B/As until

the aggregate face amount due in respect of the relevant outstanding B/As has been reimbursed (with any remaining funds being returned to the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower) or until all the allocable cash on deposit has been exhausted. The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account in short-term, cash equivalent investments selected by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower that mature prior to the last day of the applicable Contract Periods of the B/As to be prepaid, provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Canadian Subsidiary Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for any losses relating to the investments made at the request or direction of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower so that the amount available to prepay amounts due in respect of B/As on the last day of the applicable Contract Period is not less than the amount that would have been available had no investments been made pursuant thereto. Other than any interest earned on such investments (which shall be for the account of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower, to the extent not necessary for the prepayment of B/As in accordance with this Section 2.11), the Prepayment Account shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account and reinvested and disbursed as specified above. If the maturity of the Loans and all amounts due hereunder has been accelerated pursuant to Article VII, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply all amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account to satisfy the Canadian Obligations (and the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a security interest in the Prepayment Account to secure such Canadian Obligations).

SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates. Commitment Fees accrued through and including the last day of each March, June, September and December shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, provided that all such accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing Commitment Fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Total L/C Exposure of such Lender (and the Total Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee (a “Participation Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s Total L/C Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitments terminate and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Total L/C Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee (a “Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the Total L/C Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any Total L/C Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation Fees and Fronting Fees accrued through and including the last day of each March, June, September and December shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day,

commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, provided that all such accrued fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 Business Days after written demand. All Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Canadian Subsidiary Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, on each date on which B/As drawn by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower are accepted hereunder, in Canadian Dollars, an acceptance fee (an “Acceptance Fee”) computed by multiplying the face amount of each such B/A by the product of (i) the Applicable Rate for B/A Drawings on such date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Contract Period applicable to such B/A and the denominator of which is 365.

(d) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees, Participation Fees and Acceptance Fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid (other than any portion of such fees that represent overpayments) shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(f) For purposes of clarification, (i) any fee required to be paid under this Section 2.12 for a payment period ending prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Section 2.12 to the extent that such fee was paid under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Original Credit Agreement and (ii) any fee required to be paid under this Section 2.12 for any portion of a payment period that occurs prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall, solely with respect to such portion of such payment period, be determined in the manner and in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2.12 of the Original Credit Agreement.

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) (i) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan made to the Parent Borrower) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate, (ii) the Loans comprising each U.S. Base Rate Revolving Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan made to the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower that is denominated in U.S. Dollars) shall bear interest at the U.S. Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iii) the Loans comprising each Canadian Base Rate Revolving Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan made to the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower that is denominated in Canadian Dollars) shall bear interest at the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate, provided that, solely in respect of the Term Loans, if the Alternate Base Rate shall, at any time, be less than 4.25%, then the Alternate Base Rate at such time shall be deemed to be 4.25%.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate, provided that, solely in respect of the Term Loans, if the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall, at any time, be less than 3.25%, then the Adjusted LIBO Rate at such time shall be deemed to be 3.25%.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment,

at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.13 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to (A) in the case of an amount owed by the Parent Borrower, an ABR Loan, (B) in the case of an amount owed by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower and denominated in U.S. Dollars, a U.S. Base Rate Loan or (C) in the case of an amount owed by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower and denominated in Canadian Dollars, a Canadian Base Rate Loan.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Loans in respect of any Class, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments in respect of such Class, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, U.S. Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or Canadian Base Rate Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement contrary, accrued interest on the Term Loans shall not be payable at any time when a Default or Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, provided that interest shall continue to accrue on the Term Loans during such period in accordance with this Section 2.13, and such accrued interest shall be payable on the first Interest Payment Date after the date on which all such Defaults and Events of Default cease to exist or the Discharge of Revolving Lender Claims shall have occurred.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to (i) the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and (ii) the U.S. Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate shall be, in each case, computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and, in each case, shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day (which, in the case of any Loan made under the Original Credit Agreement and continuing under this Agreement, as contemplated by Section 2.01, shall be the day on which such Loan was made under the Original Credit Agreement) but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, U.S. Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate and Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Solely for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends and the denominator of which is 360 or 365, as the case may be, (ii) the rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates and not effective rates or yields and (iii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

(g) For purposes of clarification, any interest required to be paid under this Section 2.13 for any portion of a payment period that occurs prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall, solely with respect to such portion of such payment period, be determined in the manner and in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2.13 of the Original Credit Agreement (giving effect to any defined term used in such Section 2.13 as such term is defined in the Original Credit Agreement).

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest

Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as (A) in the case of a Borrowing Request made by the Parent Borrower, an ABR Borrowing, and (B) in the case of a Borrowing Request made by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower denominated in U.S. Dollars, a U.S. Base Rate Revolving Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank, or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or B/A Drawings made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein,

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or obtaining funds for the purchase of B/As (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to accept and purchase B/As) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company in reasonable detail, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or to issue B/As for acceptance and purchase on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or right to receive payment in respect of a B/A other than on the last day of the Interest Period or Contract Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or Excluded Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with and within the time required by applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party under any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Loan Party by the Issuing Bank or a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Borrower is resident, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (in the case of the Issuing Bank or such Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law, if any, or reasonably requested by such Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender has received written notice from such Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption and supplying all applicable documentation. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, shall cooperate with the applicable Borrower in good faith to identify the potential availability of such exemption or reduction.

(f) If the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or a Lender, as the case may be, determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.17 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g) If the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or any Canadian Subsidiary Loan Party shall receive an assessment, reassessment or similar document assessing taxes whereby the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or such Canadian Subsidiary Loan Party shall be required to pay any Excluded Taxes referred to in paragraph (e) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” in Section 1.01 as a result of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or such Canadian Subsidiary Loan Party having paid or credited (or been deemed to have paid or credited) an amount hereunder to a Lender or other Person that is not a Canadian Resident, and such taxes were not withheld from payments made hereunder in accordance with applicable law, then such Lender or other Person shall promptly upon written demand therefor reimburse the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or such Canadian Subsidiary Loan Party for the full amount of such Excluded Taxes.

(h) The Canadian Subsidiary Borrower shall, upon request, cooperate in good faith with the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, in seeking a recovery of any Excluded Taxes remitted by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or any Canadian Subsidiary Loan Party on behalf of such Persons to a Governmental Authority in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required under such Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments (other than those required to be made to the Prepayment Account) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017 (or, in the case of payments made in respect of the Canadian Obligations, to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 200 Bay Street, 18th Floor, Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2J2), except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made directly to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or amounts owing in respect of any B/A Drawing (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan or B/A Drawing) shall be made in the currency of such Loan or B/A Drawing; all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided therein. At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 3.06 of the Domestic Security Agreement and the Canadian Security Agreement (or the applicable provisions, if any, of the other Collateral Documents), solely for purposes of determining the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes or B/As available for drawing, checks and cash or other immediately available funds from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the Obligations, on the day of receipt, subject to actual collection.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards

payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties (based on the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such amounts or the U.S. Dollar amount thereof, as applicable), and (ii) second, towards the payment of principal, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, face amounts of B/As and amounts of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due to such parties (based on the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such amounts or the U.S. Dollar amount thereof, as applicable), except that, in the case of any such payment of funds by a Foreign Loan Guarantor on behalf of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower, the application of such funds set out in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.18(b) may be reversed in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, amounts owing in respect of any B/A Drawing, L/C Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (in each case, solely to the extent such amounts are payable to the Revolving Lenders), may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings or B/A Drawings made hereunder, whether made following a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.06, as applicable, or deemed a request as provided in this Section 2.18, or may be deducted from any deposit account of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest, fees and any other amount as it becomes due under any Loan Document and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of such Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest, fees and any other amount due under any Loan Document.

(d) If any Revolving Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Revolving Lender, then the Revolving Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Revolving Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Revolving Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Revolving Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) If any Term Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Term Lender, then the Term Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of other Term Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Term Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans, provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Term Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Term Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (i)(A) in the case of Loans made to the Parent Borrower or U.S. L/C Disbursements, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (B) in the case of Loans made to the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower, Canadian L/C Disbursements or amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(g) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), Section 2.05(d) or (e), Section 2.06(f), Section 2.07(a) or (b), Section 2.18(f) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be

disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) the applicable Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Loan Document, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, amounts owing in respect of B/A Drawings and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.21. Revolving Commitment Increases; Incremental Term Loans. (a) At any time and from time to time during the Availability Period, but in any event, no more than two times during the Availability Period, the Parent Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders), request to add (x) one or more increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) having terms identical to the existing Revolving Commitments or (y) one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”), provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Commitment Increase Amendment (as defined below), (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom, (ii) solely with respect to any Revolving Commitment Increase, the Parent Borrower shall be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the covenant contained in Section 6.12 recomputed as of the last day of the most-recently ended fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower and (iii) the Parent Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect set forth in clauses (i) and, solely with respect to any Revolving Commitment Increase, (ii) above, together with reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with clause (ii) above. Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of (A) the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not

exceed $40,000,000 and (B) the Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed $15,000,000. Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an integral multiple of $2,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $15,000,000, provided that such amount may be less than $15,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitment Increases set forth above. Each Incremental Term Loan shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $2,000,000, provided that such amount may be less than $2,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans set forth above.

(b) The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment in respect of the Collateral and with the Obligations in respect of the Initial Term Loan, (ii) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any case no more favorably than) the Initial Term Loan and (iii) shall have terms no less favorable to the Revolving Lenders than the Initial Term Loan.

(c) Each notice from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall set forth the requested amount of the relevant Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Term Loans. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend a Revolving Commitment Increase shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (a “Commitment Increase Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the Parent Borrower, such Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent. Any Incremental Term Loan shall be made only by the Initial Term Lender or a Sponsor Affiliate. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Revolving Commitment Increase or Incremental Term Loan unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Revolving Commitment Increase or Incremental Term Loan shall become Commitments (or in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in the Revolving Commitment of such Lender) under this Agreement. A Commitment Increase Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21. The effectiveness of any Commitment Increase Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 on the date thereof. The proceeds of (i) any Revolving Commitment Increases will be used only for working capital and general corporate purposes and to finance any Permitted Acquisition and (ii) any Incremental Term Loans will be used only to repay outstanding U.S. Revolving Loans and fees, costs and expenses in connection with the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans.

(d) Upon each Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.21, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Additional Lender, and each such Additional Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s (x) Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitment and (y) participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption, the percentage of the aggregate (A) Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitments, (B) outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (C) outstanding participations hereunder in Swingline Loans, in each case held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Additional Lender), will equal such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage and (ii) if, on the date of such Revolving Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding or amounts owing in respect of outstanding B/A Drawings, such Revolving Loans and amounts owing in respect of outstanding B/A Drawings shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase

be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made and B/As accepted and purchased hereunder (reflecting such Revolving Commitment Increase), which prepayment shall (x) be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.16 and (y) in the case of outstanding B/A Drawings, be done in accordance with Section 2.11(e). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 2.22. Delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, subsequent to each date on which (x) the Average Availability or (y) Availability for the preceding period of four consecutive Business Days, in either case is less than $30,000,000 (each such date, a “Delivery Trigger Date”), neither Borrower shall be permitted to make a Borrowing, request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or request an acceptance and purchase of a B/A pursuant to this Agreement unless such Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(f) as of a date no earlier than seven days prior to the date of such Borrowing; provided, however, that after the date that is (i) in the case of the first Delivery Trigger Date, 45 consecutive days after such Delivery Trigger Date, or (ii) in the case of any subsequent Delivery Trigger Date, 180 consecutive days after any such Delivery Trigger Date, neither Borrower shall be required to deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to this Section 2.22 if the Reference Availability following such 45 or 180 consecutive days, as the case may be, shall have exceeded $35,000,000 for a period of five consecutive Business Days prior to the date of such Borrowing.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Loan Parties and each of its subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent such concept is applicable in the corresponding jurisdiction, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party and to effect the Transactions and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where the conduct of its business requires such qualification.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Loan Party’s corporate (or, to the extent applicable, other organization) powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate (or, to the extent applicable, other organization) action and, if required, stockholder action. The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule 3.03, the Transactions (a) do not require any material consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to any Loan Party or any of its

subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any material indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation thereunder, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries, except Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents.

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Parent Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Administrative Agent the consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, reported on by Crowe Chizek and Company LLC, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, certified by a Financial Officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods and, in the case of the financial statements referred to in clause (i) above, were prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

(b) No event, change, effect or circumstance has occurred that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, since December 31, 2007.

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) As of the date of this Agreement, Schedule 3.05(a) sets forth the address of each parcel of real property that is owned or leased by each Loan Party after giving effect to the Transactions. Each of such leases and subleases is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms and is in full force and effect, and no default by any party to any such lease or sublease exists, except any such default that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Loan Parties and its subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business (including the Mortgaged Properties), except for Permitted Encumbrances and minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or are described in a mortgage policy of the title insurance or surveys issued in favor of, and accepted by, the Administrative Agent in respect of any property.

(b) Each Loan Party and its subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business as currently conducted, a list (correct and complete in all material respects) of which, as of the date of this Agreement, is set forth on Schedule 3.05(b), and the use thereof by the Loan Parties and their respective subsidiaries does not infringe in any material respect upon the rights of any other Person, and, as of the date of this Agreement, the Loan Parties’ rights thereto are not subject to any licensing agreement or similar arrangement, except as set forth on Schedule 3.05(b).

(c) As of the Restatement Effective Date, no Loan Party nor any of its subsidiaries has received notice of, or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries, has knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation or expropriation proceeding affecting any Mortgaged Property or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation. Except in respect of any purchase agreement entered into for Mortgaged Property that does not conflict with the terms hereof, neither any Mortgaged Property nor any interest therein is subject to any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to purchase such Mortgaged Property or interest therein.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the

knowledge of any Responsible Officer of any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries (i) that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters (i) no Loan Party nor any of its subsidiaries has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries, knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability, in each case that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party nor any of its subsidiaries (1) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or (2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each Loan Party and its subsidiaries is in compliance with (a) all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property and (b) all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. No Loan Party nor any of its subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.09, each Loan Party and its subsidiaries (a) has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed, except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (b) has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes required to have been paid by it, except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, provided that such Loan Party or such subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves as required by GAAP and the failure to pay such Taxes could not be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. ERISA. (a) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations thereunder as applicable to any Plan. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plans by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $40,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans. The minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan have been satisfied.

(b) Canadian Benefit and Pension Plans. The Canadian Pension Plans are duly registered in accordance with any Requirement of Law that requires registration and no event has

occurred which is reasonably likely to cause the loss of such registered status. All material obligations of the Borrowers and each Subsidiary (including fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) required to be performed in connection with the Canadian Pension Plans and the funding agreements therefor have been performed in a timely fashion. As of the Restatement Effective Date, there are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets held under the funding agreements for the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans. The funded status, on a partial wind-up or full wind-up basis, as specified in the attached Schedule 3.10(b), of each of the Canadian Pension Plans as determined in the actuarial valuations last filed with the applicable Governmental Authorities prior to the Restatement Effective Date, which were prepared in accordance with applicable law and based on methods and assumptions that are consistent with generally accepted actuarial principles, is set out in Schedule 3.10(b). To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, except as set out in Schedule 3.10(b), there has been no full or partial terminations of any Canadian Pension Plan. As of the Restatement Effective Date, except as set out in Schedule 3.10(b), the Loan Parties have received no inquiries from any Governmental Authority and no notice of any dispute with respect to the potential application of the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Superintendent of Financial Services (Ontario) [2004], 3 S.C.R. 152 to any Canadian Pension Plan. 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 have a Material Adverse Effect. All contributions or premiums required to be made or paid by either Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Canadian Pension Plans, any Canadian Multi-Employer Plan 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 to the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans by way of authorized payroll deduction or otherwise have been properly withheld or collected by each of the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and fully paid into such plans in a timely manner. Schedule 3.10(b) lists, as of the Restatement Effective Date, all “participation agreements” entered into by either Borrower or any Subsidiary and a labor union with respect to such Borrower or Subsidiary’s participation in a Canadian Multi-Employer Plan and the most current executed supplement thereto as of the Restatement Effective Date. The pension fund under each Canadian Pension Plan is exempt from the payment of any income tax and, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, there are no taxes, penalties or interest owing in respect of any such pension fund. 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.

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure.

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to Holdings or either Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Parent Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans and the B/A Drawings then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans, and the full face amount of all outstanding B/As, so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of each Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to Holdings or either Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans and the full face amount of B/As, in each case then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of each Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC and other applicable personal property security laws in the relevant jurisdictions (it being understood and agreed that, except as expressly provided herein (including pursuant to Section 9.08) or in any other Loan Document, only the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise such rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral).

Solely for purposes of determining whether a Default has occurred under paragraph (h), (i), (j) or (k) of Article VII, any reference in any such paragraph to any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to include any Subsidiary affected by any event or circumstance referred to in such paragraph that did not, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower most-recently ended, have assets with a value equal to or greater than 3.75% of consolidated total assets of the Parent Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such date, based on the consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such date, provided that if it is necessary to exclude more than one Subsidiary from paragraph (h), (i), (j) or (k) of Article VII pursuant to this paragraph in order to avoid a Default, the aggregate value of the assets of all such excluded Subsidiaries as of such last day may not exceed 7.50% of consolidated total assets of the Parent Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such date, based on the consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such date.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third

109

party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary or believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 2.05(j), Section 9.02 or Section 9.04(e)), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary or believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 2.05(j), Section 9.02 or Section 9.04(e)) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered under or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for either Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding

110

paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports, (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement, and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Bookrunners or Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under any Loan

111

Document, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received or (ii) sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent, provided that if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II or to compliance and no Event of Default certificates delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(d) unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent or the Parent Borrower (on behalf of the Loan Parties) 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. All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (b)(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan, the acceptance and purchase of a B/A or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit

113

shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on Holdings or either Borrower in any case shall entitle Holdings or such Borrower, as the case may be, to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.21 in connection with any Commitment Increase Amendment, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Parent Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent in Section 4.01 or 4.02 or the waiver of a Default or an Event of Default shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of a Lender for purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan, B/A or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (it being understood that neither (A) any amendment to this Agreement that has the effect of increasing Availability or Reference Availability and that is approved by the Required Lenders (or, if applicable, the percentage of Lenders required under clause (v) or (ix) of this Section 9.02(b)) nor (B) any waiver or forgiveness of a Default or Event of Default hereunder, shall constitute a reduction of the rate of interest or Commitment Fees for purposes of this clause (ii)), (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan or any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, B/A or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b), (d) or (e) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of (A) in the case of Section 2.18(b), each Lender, (B) in the case of Section 2.18(d), each Revolving Lender and (C) in the case of Section 2.18(e), each Term Lender, (v) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of either Borrowing Base, add new categories of eligible assets or eliminate Reserves that were imposed by the Required Lenders or by the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders, in each case in respect of either Borrowing Base, without the written consent of Lenders having Revolving Exposure and unused Revolving Commitments representing more than 66 2/3% of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure and Revolving Commitments at such time (it being understood and agreed that the rescission of a Reserve by the Administrative Agent acting in its Permitted Discretion (as opposed to at the request of the Required Lenders) shall not require the consent of the Lenders under this clause (v)), (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be) (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loans and Revolving Commitments on the date hereof), (vii) release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty or limit its liability with respect to such Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (viii) except as expressly provided in this Section 9.02 or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender, (ix) eliminate the ineligibility of any portion of the assets comprising either Borrower Base (including the Availability Block), without the written consent of Lenders having Revolving Exposure and unused Revolving Commitments representing more than 66 2/3% of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure and Revolving

114

Commitments at such time, (x) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of Collateral or payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class, (xi) change to make less favorable to the Revolving Lenders any of the provisions of (A) Section 9.24 of this Agreement or Section 4.02 of the Domestic Security Agreement (in each case, insofar as such change would alter the relative priority of the Secured Revolving Obligations and the U.S. Term Obligations in respect of Collateral and the proceeds therefrom) or Section 9.25, in each case without the written consent of Lenders having Revolving Exposure and Revolving Commitments representing more than 66 2/3% of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure and Revolving Commitments or (B) Section 9.26 (insofar as such change would alter the 100% approval requirement in respect of the purchase price payable by the Purchasing Party) without the consent of each Revolving Lender or (xii) modify the protection afforded an SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(e) without the written consent of such SPV; provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights and duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Parent Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, and (C) if the terms of any waiver, amendment or modification of any Loan Document provide that any Class of Loans (together with all accrued interest thereon and all accrued fees payable with respect to the Commitments of such Class) will be repaid or paid in full, and the Commitments of such Class (if any) terminated, as a condition to the effectiveness of such waiver, amendment or modification, then so long as the Loans of such Class (together with such accrued interest and fees) are in fact repaid or paid and such Commitments are in fact terminated, in each case prior to or simultaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, then such Loans and Commitments shall not be included in the determination of the Required Lenders with respect to such amendment. The Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of all the Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization (or support with a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner reasonably satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. The Liens on property described in clauses (c)(i) and (c)(ii) of this paragraph shall be deemed to be released with no action on the part of any Person upon the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof.

(d) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a

115

“Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders (and, to the extent any Proposed Change requires the consent of Lenders holding Loans of any Class pursuant to clause (vi) or (x) of the first proviso to paragraph (b) of this Section, the consent of a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of such Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Parent Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (a) the Parent Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and all amounts due to such Lender in respect of outstanding B/As, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (c) the Parent Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b).

(e) In the event that S&P, Moody’s and Thompson’s BankWatch (or InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a Lender, downgrade the long-term certificate of deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)), then the Issuing Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent and following consultation with the Parent Borrower, to replace such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04(b)), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04(b)) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and all amounts due to such Lender in respect of outstanding B/As, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) the Parent Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b).

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment

116

thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders (in addition to one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, including Canadian local counsel), in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans made, B/As accepted and purchased or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans, B/As or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section 9.03 include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) appraisals (limited to specified per diem costs and expenses);

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination (limited to specified per diem costs and expenses);

(iii) lien and title searches and title insurance;

(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative Agent’s Liens;

(v) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and

(vi) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral.

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Parent Borrower as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c). The above list shall not be construed to negate any specific limitation on the Loan Parties’ obligations to reimburse items hereunder.

(b) The Borrowers, as applicable, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Indemnitees (in addition to one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, including Canadian local counsel), except in the case where there is a divergent or conflicting interest between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in which case there shall be one separate counsel for the Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Lenders as a group, on the other hand, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan, B/A or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank 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, but subject to Section 2.05(f)), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or

117

formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties.

(c) To the extent that either Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan, B/A or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than five Business Days after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) neither Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by either Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or,

118

if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or Term Commitment; and

(C) the Issuing Bank, provided that no consent of the Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or Term Commitment,

provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights and obligations in respect of any Term Loan may not be assigned hereunder, except to the Initial Term Lender or a Sponsor Affiliate.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of a Term Loan, $1,000,000, unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or 9.02(d) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e); and

(E) any assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be accompanied by a simultaneous assignment of a pro rata portion of such Lender’s Canadian Revolving Sub-Commitment.

For the purposes of this paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

119

“CLO” means an entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and is administered or managed by a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans, amounts in respect of B/A Drawings and L/C Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register, provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, Section 2.06(d), Section 2.06(e), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.18(f) or Section 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely

120

responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (vii) and (viii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) (to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver directly and adversely affects such Participant). Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Parent Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle organized and administered by such Lender (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by such Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, the option to provide to the applicable Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, such Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) such Granting Lender’s other obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iv) such Granting Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (v) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Granting Lender in connection with such Granting Lender’s right and obligations under this Agreement and (vi) an SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Granting Lender grants such an option to an SPV shall provide that such Granting Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Granting Lender will not, without

121

the consent of such SPV, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (vii) and (viii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) (to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver directly and adversely affects such SPV). Subject to paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section 9.04, each Borrower agrees that each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each SPV also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such SPV agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) An SPV that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless such SPV agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(iii) Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV 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 senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or Canada or any province thereof.

(iv) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) subject to Section 9.12, 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 SPV.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any amount due in respect of any B/A or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 9.03 and 9.12 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and amounts due in respect of B/As, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be

122

executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Loan Party party hereto and the Required Restatement Lenders, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of either Borrower or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender and the Issuing Bank shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section 9.08. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates may have.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

123

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, provided that, other than in connection with routine regulatory examinations, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prior notice of such disclosure to the Parent Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, (iii) to the extent required by Requirement of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prior notice of such disclosure to the Parent Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Parent Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent Borrower, provided that the source is not actually known by such disclosing party to be bound by an agreement containing

124

provisions substantially the same as those contained in this Section 9.12. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all information received from the Parent Borrower relating to the Parent Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING HOLDINGS, THE BORROWERS, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS FURNISHED BY EITHER BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT HOLDINGS, THE BORROWERS, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any Requirement of Law.

SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.15. Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 9.16. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other

125

Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 9.17. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or B/A Drawing, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or B/A Drawing under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or B/A Drawing in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or B/A Drawing hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or B/A Drawing but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.17 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or B/A Drawings or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.18. Quebec. For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Administrative Agent or any other Person acting as an agent, attorney-in-fact or mandatary for the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, each Lender and Administrative Agent hereby (a) irrevocably constitutes, to the extent necessary, the Administrative Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) for the purposes of holding any Liens, including hypothecs, granted or to be granted by any Loan Party on movable or immovable property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of a Loan Party under any bond issued by a Loan Party; and (b) appoints and agrees that the Administrative Agent, acting as agent for the Lenders, may act as the bondholder and mandatary with respect to any bond that may be issued and pledged from time to time for the benefit of the Lenders the Administrative Agent.

The said constitution of the Administrative Agent as fondé de pouvoir (holder of an irrevocable power of attorney within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) and as bondholder and mandatary with respect to any such bond shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by any assignee pursuant to Section 9.04 by the execution of the applicable Assignment and Assumption.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec), the Administrative Agent may purchase, acquire and be the holder of any bond issued by any Loan Party. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that any such bond shall constitute a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec.

The Administrative Agent herein appointed as fondé de pouvoir shall have the same rights, powers and immunities of the Administrative Agent as stipulated in Article VIII, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. Without limitation, the provisions of Article VIII of this Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to the resignation and appointment of a successor to the Administrative Agent acting as fondé de pouvoir.

SECTION 9.19. Judgment Currency. (a) The obligations of any Loan Party under this

126

Agreement and the other Loan Documents to make payments in U.S. Dollars or in Canadian Dollars (in any such case, the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the respective Lender, as the case may be, of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing a judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency, the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent, determined, in each case, as of the business day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such business day, the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each Loan Party covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the actual date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency that could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 9.19, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

SECTION 9.20. Obligations of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower and Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, none of the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Loan Party shall be liable for any U.S. Secured Obligations, and none of the Collateral pledged by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Loan Party shall secure any U.S. Secured Obligations. In addition, any insurance proceeds from any Collateral pledged by the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Loan Party shall not be available to pay any U.S. Secured Obligations.

SECTION 9.21. Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby ratifies the appointment under the Original Credit Agreement of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act as intercreditor agent (the “Intercreditor Agent”) under the Intercreditor Agreement and hereby ratifies the execution of the Intercreditor Agreement by the Intercreditor Agent in the name of and for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender further expressly accepts and agrees to the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 9.22. Effectiveness of Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. (a) Until this Agreement becomes effective in accordance with the terms hereof, the Original Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected hereby. On and after the Restatement Effective Date, all obligations of Holdings, each Borrower and each Subsidiary Loan Party under the Original Credit Agreement shall become obligations of Holdings, such Borrower or such Subsidiary Loan Party, as applicable, hereunder, secured by the Security Documents, and the provisions of the Original Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions hereof.

(b) This Agreement shall not extinguish the Loans, any Letters of Credit or any B/As outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement or the Guarantees of the Loan Parties under Article X

thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Loans, Letters of Credit or B/As outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement or of the Guarantees of the Loan Parties under Article X thereof, which shall remain outstanding after the Restatement Effective Date as modified hereby. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 of the Original Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date will continue to be effective as to all matters arising out of or in any way related to facts or events existing or occurring prior to the Restatement Effective Date.

SECTION 9.23. Amendment of Security Documents. By execution of this Agreement, the Lenders hereby consent to the amendment or amendment and restatement, as applicable, of the Security Agreements (as such term is defined in the Original Credit Agreement), to the extent necessary, as contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 9.24. Application of Collateral Proceeds. (a) Each of the Lenders hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, under the Domestic Security Agreement or any other Collateral Document securing the U.S. Obligations as follows:

(i) FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document;

(ii) SECOND, until the Discharge of Revolving Lender Claims has occurred, to the payment in full of the Secured Revolving Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Secured Revolving Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

(iii) THIRD, to the payment in full of the U.S. Term Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the U.S. Term Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

(iv) FOURTH, to the Loan Parties, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) So long as the Discharge of Revolving Lender Claims has not occurred, any Collateral, or any proceeds of Collateral or payment with respect thereto, received by the Term Lenders in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including any right of setoff) or in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Grantor in contravention of the allocation priority set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and forthwith transferred or paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and the Administrative Agent shall apply such proceeds as provided in such paragraph (a), provided that if, in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Grantor, any securities (including debt securities and equity securities; collectively, the “New Securities”) are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan on account of the Secured Revolving Obligations and on account of the U.S. Term Obligations, the holders of the

128

U.S. Term Obligations shall be entitled to retain any such New Securities distributed under any such plan only if such New Securities are subject to transfer and payment over to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 9.24; provided further that, so long as the Discharge of Revolving Lender Claims has not occurred, any payments received by the Term Lenders in respect of such New Securities shall be transferred or paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with this Section 9.24(b). The provisions of Sections 9.24 and 9.25 will survive the distribution of such New Securities pursuant to such plan and will remain in full force and effect in respect of such New Securities as if the obligations in respect of such New Securities constituted Secured Revolving Obligations and U.S. Term Obligations, respectively, hereunder. For purposes of the second proviso to this Section 9.24(b), a “Discharge of Revolving Lender Claims” shall not have occurred until the Revolving Lenders shall have been paid in full in cash in an amount equal to (without duplication) (i) all principal, interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, regardless of whether or not allowed in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) and other Secured Revolving Obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, either termination thereof or delivery of cash collateral in respect thereof on terms substantially similar to those in Section 2.05(j) of this Agreement (or, in lieu of such cash collateral, enter into a backstop letter of credit in favor of the Administrative Agent, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of such Letters of Credit)), in each case as such Secured Revolving Obligations are valued immediately prior to the commencement of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (but taking into account interest accruing during the pendency of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, regardless of whether or not allowed in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), plus (ii) all other Secured Revolving Obligations that are due and payable or otherwise accrued and owing at or prior to the time such principal and interest are paid, in each case (A) as such Secured Revolving Obligations are valued immediately prior to the commencement of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (B) other than contingent indemnities and costs and reimbursement obligations to the extent no claim has been made, minus (iii) the value as of the date the applicable plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan becomes effective of any such New Securities, as well as the value as of such date of any other Collateral or proceeds thereof, distributed to the holders of Secured Revolving Obligations under such plan or during the pendency of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Term Lenders. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable but shall terminate automatically upon the Discharge of Revolving Lender Claims.

(c) With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any holder of U.S. Term Obligations pays over to or for the benefit of any holder of Secured Revolving Obligations under the terms of this Agreement, such holder of U.S. Term Obligations shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Secured Revolving Obligations, provided that such holder of U.S. Term Obligations hereby agrees not to assert or enforce any such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Revolving Lender Claims has occurred. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the holders of U.S. Term Obligations that are paid over to or for the benefit of any holder of Secured Revolving Obligations shall not reduce any of the U.S. Term Obligations.

(d) Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that the terms of the Collateral Documents shall govern the rights of the Lenders in respect of the Collateral.

SECTION 9.25. Bankruptcy Proceedings. (a) The agreements contained in Sections 9.24, 9.25 and 9.26 shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition by or against any Grantor in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and all converted or succeeding

129

cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to any Grantor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for such Grantor and such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, until the Discharge of Revolving Lender Claims has occurred, the Term Lenders will not, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Grantor, (i) oppose or object to (or support any other Person opposing or objecting to) the use of any Collateral constituting cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or any post-petition financing, whether provided by any of the Revolving Lenders or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”) so long as the DIP Financing does not compel any Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document, other than providing for satisfaction in full in cash of the DIP Financing on or prior to the effective date of such plan of reorganization, (ii) oppose or object to (or support any other Person opposing or objecting to) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (iii) oppose or object to (or support any other Person opposing or objecting to) a motion to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law so long as the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a Lien on any proceeds resulting from such sale or other disposition, (iv) except to the extent permitted under paragraph (c) of this Section 9.25 or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, request adequate protection with respect to its rights in the Collateral, (v) oppose or object to (or support any other Person opposing or objecting to) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of claims made by the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) or (vi) oppose or object to (or support any other Person opposing or objecting to) any lawful exercise by the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the right to credit bid the Secured Obligations at any sale of Collateral.

(c) In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Grantor, the Term Lenders will not oppose or object to (or support any other Person in opposing or objecting to) (i) any request by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender for adequate protection or (ii) any objection, based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection, by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender, to any motion, relief, action or proceeding of any Grantor. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9.25(b) or (c), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, if the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Sections 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, then the Term Lenders may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, which replacement Lien shall be pari passu with any replacement Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, provided that the priority of any distributions made by any Grantor in respect of any such replacement Lien or administrative expense claim shall be governed by Section 9.24.

(d) Until the Discharge of Revolving Lender Claims has occurred, the Term Lenders agree that none of them shall seek relief from, or modification of, the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (acting with the consent of Revolving Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Exposure at such time).

130

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any holder of U.S. Term Obligations may (i) file a proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the U.S. Term Obligations in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against any Grantor; (ii) take any action (other than any action that is inconsistent with the priority of payments set forth in Section 9.24 or that is otherwise adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Revolving Obligations or the rights of the holders of Secured Revolving Obligations to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral; (iii) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the holders of U.S. Term Obligations, including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (iv) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under any Bankruptcy Law or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; (v) vote on any plan of reorganization; and (vi) exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Revolving Lender Claims.

SECTION 9.26. Purchase Right. (a) Without limiting the rights of the holders of Secured Revolving Obligations under Sections 9.24 and 9.25, the holders of Secured Revolving Obligations agree that at any time following (i) acceleration of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (each, a “Purchase Event”), one or more of the holders of U.S. Term Obligations may request within 60 days after the first date on which a Purchase Event occurs, and the holders of Secured Revolving Obligations hereby offer the holders of U.S. Term Obligations the option, to purchase all, but not less than all (except as expressly set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.26), of the aggregate amount of Secured Revolving Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase at par (or at a price otherwise approved by 100% of the Revolving Lenders) without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption). If a holder of the U.S. Term Obligations (a “Purchasing Party”) intends to exercise such right, it shall deliver written notice to the Administrative Agent specifying the date on which the purchase shall occur, which date shall be a Business Day not less than three Business Days nor more than 12 Business Day after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such written notice. Such notice from a Purchasing Party shall be irrevocable. If one or more of the holders of U.S. Term Obligations exercises such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such holder(s). If none of the holders of U.S. Term Obligations exercises such right within 60 days after the first date on which a Purchase Event occurs, the holders of Secured Revolving Obligations shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 9.26 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) On the date (the “Purchase Date”) specified by the Purchasing Party in any notice delivered by such Purchasing Party in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 9.26, the holders of the Secured Revolving Obligations shall, subject to any required approval of any court or other Governmental Authority, if any, sell to the Purchasing Party, and the Purchasing Party shall purchase from the holders of the Secured Revolving Obligations, all of the Secured Revolving Obligations, provided that the Secured Revolving Obligations purchased shall not include any right of the holders of the Secured Revolving Obligations with respect to any indemnification obligations of the Grantors under the Loan Documents. The Purchasing Party shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to effect such purchase on the terms in this Section 9.26 not later than the Purchase Date.

(c) On the Purchase Date, the Purchasing Party shall remit in immediately available funds to such bank account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Purchasing Party for such purpose the following amounts: (i) the full amount of the Secured

131

Revolving Obligations then outstanding and unpaid (including principal, interest, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses and, in the case of any Swap Agreement, if terminated, the amount that would be payable by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries if it were to terminate such Swap Agreement on the date of such purchase and sale or, if not terminated, an amount reasonably determined by the applicable Revolving Lender (or Affiliate thereof) party to such Swap Agreement to be necessary to collateralize its credit risk arising from such Swap Agreement) and (ii) furnish to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to 105% of the U.S. L/C Exposure and the Canadian L/C Exposure (subject to return if the Letters of Credit expire or are canceled). From time to time after the Purchase Date, upon demand, the Purchasing Party shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any fees, costs or expenses related to any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Secured Revolving Obligations and/or as to which the Revolving Lenders have not yet received final payment.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute the amounts received by it in respect of such purchase price to the Secured Parties ratably according to the Secured Revolving Obligations owing to the Secured Parties. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the day on which such purchase and sale occur, if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Party to the bank account designated by the Administrative Agent are received in such bank account prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such day if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Party to the bank account designated by the Administrative Agent are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, New York City time.

Loan Guaranty

SECTION 10.01. Guaranty. (a) Each U.S. Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, either Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “U.S. Guaranteed Obligations”). Each U.S. Loan Guarantor further agrees that the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.

(b) Each Foreign Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Canadian Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Canadian Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, either Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Canadian Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Canadian Secured Obligations, collectively the “Foreign Guaranteed Obligations” and, together with the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Foreign Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Foreign Guaranteed Obligations

132

may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.

(c) All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.02. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue either Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03. No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations or the Foreign Guaranteed Obligations, as the case may be), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of either Borrower or any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of either Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of either Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations

133

from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of either Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any other person. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations) to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders.

SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of either Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.

SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the applicable Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08. Taxes. All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.08) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

SECTION 10.09. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are

134

severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state, provincial or foreign corporate law, or any federal, state, provincial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 10.09 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 10.09 with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

As an original and independent obligation under this Guaranty, each U.S. Loan Guarantor or Foreign Loan Guarantor, as the case may be, shall indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender (together with its Affiliates, if applicable; such Persons, the “Guaranteed Parties”) and keep each of them indemnified against all costs, losses, expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by any of the U.S. Loan Guarantors or Foreign Loan Guarantors, as the case may be, to make due and punctual payment of any of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations or Foreign Guaranteed Obligations, as the case may be, or resulting from any of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations or Foreign Guaranteed Obligations, as the case may be, being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against such U.S. Loan Guarantors or Foreign Loan Guarantors, as the case may be (including all legal and other costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Guaranteed Parties, or any of them, in connection with preserving or enforcing, or attempting to preserve or enforce, its rights under this Guaranty) and pay on demand the amount of such costs, losses, expenses and liabilities whether or not any of the Guaranteed Parties have attempted to enforce any rights against any other Loan Guarantor or any other Person or otherwise.

SECTION 10.10. Contribution. (a) In the event any U.S. Loan Guarantor (a “U.S. Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other U.S. Loan Guarantor (each a “U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such U.S. Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s Domestic Applicable Percentage (as defined below) of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such U.S. Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this paragraph (a) of this Section 10.10, each U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Domestic Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a U.S. Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor from the Parent Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all U.S. Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such U.S. Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any U.S. Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such

135

U.S. Loan Guarantors from the Parent Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any U.S. Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations (up to such U.S. Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability).

(b) In the event any Foreign Loan Guarantor (a “Foreign Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Foreign Loan Guarantor (each a “Foreign Non-Paying Guarantor” and, collectively together with the Domestic Non-Paying Guarantors, the “Non-Paying Guarantors”) shall contribute to such Foreign Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Foreign Non-Paying Guarantor’s Foreign Applicable Percentage (as defined below) of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Foreign Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this paragraph (b) of this Section 10.10, each Foreign Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Foreign Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Foreign Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Foreign Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Foreign Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Foreign Non-Paying Guarantor from the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Foreign Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Foreign Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Foreign Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Foreign Loan Guarantors from the Canadian Subsidiary Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Foreign Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Foreign Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Foreign Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability).

(c) Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations). This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 10.11. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
