Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2, the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Citibank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent by such Borrower.
 
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the applicable Required Lenders.
 
(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the appropriate Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower and the appropriate Lenders of any change in Citibank’s base rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. At any time that Canadian Prime Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify TCCI and the Tranche C Lenders of any change in each Canadian Reference Bank’s rate used in determining the Canadian Prime Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
 

  
 
21


(e) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.
 
Section 2.3 Money Market Loans.
 
(a) In addition to Committed Loans pursuant to Section 2.1, TMCC or TCPR may, as set forth in this Section, request the appropriate Lenders during the Tranche A Availability Period or the Tranche B Availability Period, as applicable, to make offers to make Money Market Loans in US Dollars to such Borrower; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Money Market Borrowing (i) the Total Outstandings applicable to TMCC shall not exceed the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments and (ii) the Total Outstandings applicable to TCPR shall not exceed the Aggregate Tranche B Commitments. The Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the applicable Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.
 
(b) When TMCC or TCPR wishes to request offers to make Money Market Loans under this Section, it shall transmit to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission a Money Market Quote Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer or any other Person designated in writing by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, so as to be received no later than 9:00 a.m. on (x) the fourth Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the Business Day next preceding the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as such Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying: (i) the proposed date of Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, which shall be US$50,000,000 or a larger multiple of US$5,000,000, (iii) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period, and (iv) whether the Money Market Quotes requested are to set forth a Money Market Margin or a Money Market Absolute Rate. The applicable Borrower may request offers to make Money Market Loans for more than one Interest Period in a single Money Market Quote Request. No Money Market Quote Request shall be given within five Business Days (or such other number of days as such Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree) of any other Money Market Quote Request.
 
(c) Promptly upon receipt of a Money Market Quote Request, the Administrative Agent shall send to the appropriate Lenders by facsimile transmission an Invitation for Money Market Quotes, which shall constitute an invitation by TMCC or TCPR, as applicable, to each Lender to submit Money Market Quotes offering to make the Money Market Loans to which such Money Market Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section.
 
(d) (i)  Each Tranche A Lender may submit a Money Market Quote containing an offer or offers to make Money Market Loans in response to any Invitation for Money Market Quotes made by TMCC, and each Tranche B Lender may submit a Money Market Quote containing an offer or offers to make Money Market Loans in response to any Invitation for Money Market Quotes made by TCPR. Each Money Market Quote
 

  
 
22


must comply with the requirements of this subsection (d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. on the fourth Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) 9:00 a.m. on the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as TMCC or TCPR, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective); provided that Money Market Quotes submitted by the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent) in the capacity of a Lender may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate notifies such Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than 15 minutes prior to the deadline for the other Lenders. Subject to Articles IV and VII, any Money Market Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of TMCC or TCPR, as applicable.
 
(ii) Each Money Market Quote shall specify (A) the proposed date of Borrowing; (B) the principal amount of the Money Market Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be greater than or less than the Commitment of the quoting Lender, (x) must be US$5,000,000 or a larger multiple of US$l,000,000, (y) may not exceed the principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be subject to an aggregate limitation as to the principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Lender may be accepted; (C) in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or below the applicable Eurodollar Rate (the “Money Market Margin”) offered for each such Money Market Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base rate; (D) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) (the “Money Market Absolute Rate”) offered for each such Money Market Loan; and (E) the identity of the quoting Lender. A Money Market Quote may set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting Lender with respect to each Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Money Market Quotes.
 
(iii) Any Money Market Quote shall be disregarded if it (A) is not substantially in conformity with the definition thereof or does not specify all of the information required by subsection (d)(ii); (B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language; (C) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Money Market Quotes; or (D) arrives after the time set forth in subsection (d)(i).
 
(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify TMCC or TCPR, as applicable, of the terms (i) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with subsection (d) and (ii) of any Money Market Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request. Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money Market Quote. The
 

  
 
23


Administrative Agent’s notice to the applicable Borrower shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Money Market Quote Request, (ii) the respective principal amounts and Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (iii) if applicable, limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers in any single Money Market Quote may be accepted.
 
(f) Not later than 9:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing of Money Market LIBOR Loans or 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day of the proposed date of Borrowing of Money Market Absolute Rate Loans (or such other time or date as the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Lenders not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective), TMCC or TCPR, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Notice of Money Market Borrowing”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The applicable Borrower may accept any Money Market Quote in whole or in part; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money Market Quote Request; (ii) the principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing must be US$50,000,000 or a larger multiple of US$5,000,000; and (iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be.
 
(g) If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in multiples of US$1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
 
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
 
(a) TMCC and TCPR may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, and TCCI may, upon notice to the Sub-Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes) or Money Market Loans made to it bearing interest at the Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, not later than 10:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loans or Money Market Loans bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Section 3.2; (ii) any prepayment of Loans denominated in US Dollars shall be in a principal amount of US$50,000,000 or a whole multiple of US$5,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) any prepayment of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be in a principal amount of CDN$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of CDN$1,000,000
 

  
 
24


in excess thereof. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, a Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Money Market Loan made to it prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether the Loans to be prepaid are Committed Loans or Money Market Loans, and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, will promptly notify each appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice and the contents thereof with respect to Committed Loans, and of the amount of such Lenders Pro Rata Share of such prepayment of such Committed Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender that has made a Money Market Loan that is to be prepaid of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of each notice and the contents thereof with respect to such Money Market Loan and the contents thereof and of the amount of such prepayment of such Money Market Loan. If such notice is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5. Each such prepayment of Committed Loans shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Each such prepayment of Money Market Loans shall be applied ratably to the Money Market Loans of the Lenders that made such Loans.
 
(b) (i) If for any reason the Total Outstandings applicable to TMCC at any time exceed the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments then in effect, TMCC shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. (ii) If for any reason the Total Outstandings applicable to TCPR at any time exceed the Aggregate Tranche B Commitments then in effect, TCPR shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. (iii) If for any reason the Total Outstandings applicable to TCCI at any time exceed the Aggregate Tranche C Commitments then in effect, TCCI shall (x) immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess and (y) to the extent necessary after TCCI have made all prepayments required pursuant to clause (x), cash collateralize the outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes in accordance with Section 2.15(n) in any aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
 
Section 2.5 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. TMCC may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments, TCPR may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Tranche B Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Tranche B Commitments and TCCI may, upon notice to the Sub-Agent, terminate the Aggregate Tranche C Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Tranche C Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent, as the case may be, not later than 10:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of US$25,000,000 or any whole multiple of US$5,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Tranche A Commitments or Tranche B Commitments or CDN$10,000,000 or any whole multiple of CDN$5,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Tranche C Commitments, and (iii) such Borrower shall not terminate or reduce such Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings applicable to such Borrower would exceed the Aggregate Commitments applicable to such Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any
 

  
 
25


such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the applicable Commitment of each appropriate Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All facility fees accrued for the account of the applicable Borrower until the effective date of any termination of the applicable Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
 
Section 2.6 Repayment of Loans.
 
(a) Each Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower the aggregate principal amount of Loans made to it and outstanding on such date.
 
(b) Each Borrower shall repay each Money Market Loan made to it on the earlier to occur of (i) the last day of the Interest Period therefor and (ii) the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower.
 
Section 2.7 Interest.
 
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) subject to Section 3.2, each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iii) each Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iv) subject to Section 3.2, each Money Market LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for the Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus or minus the Money Market Margin quoted by the Lender making such Loan; and (v) each Money Market Absolute Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for the Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Money Market Absolute Rate quoted by the Lender making such Loan.
 
(b) If any amount payable by any Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Furthermore, upon the request of the applicable Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists with respect to any Borrower, such Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations of such Borrower hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable on demand.
 
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after

judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
 
Section 2.8 Fees. 
 
(a) Facility Fee. (i) TMCC shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche A Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a facility fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount of the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments, regardless of usage (or, if the Aggregate Tranche A Commitments have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all Tranche A Loans). The facility fee payable by TMCC shall accrue at all times during the Tranche A Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Tranche A Loans remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).
 
(ii) TCPR shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche B Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a facility fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount of the Aggregate Tranche B Commitments, regardless of usage (or, if the Aggregate Tranche B Commitments have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all Tranche B Loans). The facility fee payable by TCPR shall accrue at all times during the Tranche B Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Tranche B Loans remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).
 
(iii) TCCI shall pay to the Sub-Agent for the account of each Tranche C Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a facility fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount of the Aggregate Tranche C Commitments, regardless of usage (or, if the Aggregate Tranche C Commitments have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all Tranche C Loans).

(b) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
 

  
 
27


Section 2.9 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations (a) of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Citibank’s “base rate” and (b) of interest for Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of Drawing Fees and Drawing Purchase Price shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days and the term to maturity of the applicable Draft. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day.
 
Section 2.10 Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to each Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower under the Loan Documents to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations of such Borrower. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
 
Section 2.11 Payments Generally.
 
(a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by (i) TMCC and TCPR shall be made to the Administrative Agent and (ii) TCCI shall be made to the Sub-Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agents Office or the Sub-Agent’s Office, as the case may be, (x) in US Dollars in the case of payments by TMCC, payments by TCPR and payments in respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans by TCCI and (y) in Canadian Dollars for all other payments by TCCI, and, in each case, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
 
(b) If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of
 

  
 
28


time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. Whenever any payment hereunder in respect of Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Canadian Business Day such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Canadian Business Day.
 
(c) Unless a Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, prior to the time any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent hereunder, that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent may assume that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent in immediately available funds, then:
 
(i) if a Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent in immediately available funds at the Interbank Rate from time to time in effect; and
 
(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent to the applicable Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Interbank Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent or the Sub’Agents demand therefor, the Administrative Agent or Sub-Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent, the Sub-Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
 
A notice of the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 

  
 
29


(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest, on the succeeding Business Day.
 
(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan.
 
(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
 
(g) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure under such act, whenever any interest or fees to be paid by TCCI under this Agreement is to be calculated on the basis of a period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the actual number of days in such period of time.
 
(h) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) payable by TCCI under this Agreement exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) under this Agreement lawfully permitted by that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) payable by TCCI is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of TCCI, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to TCCI. For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent will be prima facie evidence of such rate.
 
Section 2.12 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Committed Loans made by it to a Borrower, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Committed Loans made by them to such Borrower as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Committed Loans pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from
 

  
 
30


the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.6 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including any right of set-off, but subject to Section 9.9) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
 
Section 2.13 Extension of Maturity Date. 
 
(a) Not earlier than 60 days prior to, nor later than 45 days prior to, the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to a Borrower then in effect, such Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the appropriate Lenders), request a 364-day extension of the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower then in effect. Within 30 days of delivery of such notice, each appropriate Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether or not it consents to such extension (which consent may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion). Any Lender not responding within the above time period shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the appropriate Lenders of the Lenders’ responses. If any Lender declines, or is deemed to have declined, to consent to such extension, the applicable Borrower may cause any such Lender to be replaced as a Lender pursuant to Section 9.16. The applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have withdrawn any request to extend the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower if it delivers or is required to deliver a notice of election to convert the Loans to Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(c).
 
(b) The Revolving Maturity Date applicable to a Borrower shall be extended only if all appropriate Lenders committed to lend to such Borrower (after giving effect to any replacements of Lenders permitted herein) (the “Consenting Lenders”) have consented thereto. If so extended, the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower, as to the Consenting Lenders, shall be extended to a date 364 days from the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower then in effect, effective as of the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower then in effect (such existing Revolving Maturity Date being the “Revolving Extension Effective Date”). The Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower shall promptly confirm to the Lenders such extension and the Revolving Extension Effective Date. As a condition precedent to such extension, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
 

  
 
31


certificate of such Borrower dated as of the Revolving Extension Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each appropriate Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Borrower approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties of such Borrower contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Revolving Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.13, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.4 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.1, and (B) no Default with respect to such Borrower exists. The applicable Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Revolving Extension Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised and new Pro Rata Shares of all the Lenders.
 
(c) Not later than 30 days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to a Borrower, such Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the appropriate Lenders), elect to convert the Loans made to such Borrower into term Loans payable on the date (the “Term Maturity Date”) one year from the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower. Concurrently with delivering any Request for Loans relating to Eurodollar Rate Loans with an Interest Period ending after the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower such Borrower shall deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent that it elects to convert the Loans into term Loans in accordance with the preceding sentence. If a Borrower so elects to convert the Loans made to it to term Loans, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in this Section 2.13(c), the Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower shall automatically be extended to the Term Maturity Date effective as of the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower then in effect (such existing Revolving Maturity Date being the “Term Extension Effective Date”), and, on and after the Term Extension Effective Date, the Loans made to such Borrower shall be term Loans that (a) may not be reborrowed once repaid, (b) in the case of loans denominated in US Dollars, may be converted from Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and from Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans and, in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, may be continued as Canadian Prime Rate Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes as provided therein, and (c) are payable in full on the Term Maturity Date applicable to such Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower shall promptly confirm to the appropriate Lenders such extension and the Term Extension Effective Date. As conditions precedent to such extension, (i) the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of such Borrower dated as of the Term Extension Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each appropriate Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower certifying that no Default applicable to such Borrower exists, and (ii) as of the Term Extension Effective Date, any outstanding Money Market Loans made to such Borrower shall have been prepaid, to the extent permitted by Section 2.4(a), or repaid in accordance with this Agreement, and if such prepayment or repayment is to be made in whole or in part from Committed Loans, such Committed Loans shall have been made at least one Business Day prior to the Term Extension Effective Date.

  
 
32


(d) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or Section 9.1 to the contrary. 
Section 2.14 Increase in Commitments.
 
(a) Provided there exists no Default applicable to a Borrower, upon notice by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the appropriate Lenders), such Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments applicable to such Borrower to an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding (x) in the case of the Tranche A Commitments, $3,850,000,000, (y) in the case of the Tranche B Commitments, $250,000,000 and (z) in the case of the Tranche C Commitments, CDN$700,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, such Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than 10 Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the appropriate Lenders). Each appropriate Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase. Any appropriate Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower and each appropriate Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the applicable Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. The consent of the Lenders is not required to increase the amount of the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section, except that each appropriate Lender shall have to right to consent to an increase in the amount of its Commitment as set forth in this Section 2.14(a). If the Lenders and Eligible Assignees do not agree to increase the applicable Aggregate Commitments by the amount requested by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14(a), such Borrower may (i) withdraw its request for an increase in its entirety or (ii) accept, in whole or in part, the increases that have been offered.
 
(b) If the applicable Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the appropriate Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. As a condition precedent to such increase, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of such Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each appropriate Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower certifying that no Default applicable to such Borrower exists. The applicable Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(c) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.12 or 9.1 to the contrary.

Section 2.15 Drawings of Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes.
 
(a) Request for Drawing. Each Drawing shall be made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (Toronto time) on a Canadian Business Day at least two Canadian Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Drawing, by TCCI to the Administrative Agent, which shall give each Tranche C Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier. Each notice of a Drawing shall be in writing (including by telecopier), in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Drawing (which shall be a Canadian Business Day), (ii) aggregate Face Amount of such Drawing and (iii) initial BA Maturity Date for each Bankers’ Acceptance and Draft comprising part of such Drawing; provided, however, that, if the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon TCCI) that the Drafts to be accepted and purchased (or purchased, as the case may be) as part of any Drawing cannot, due solely to the requested aggregate Face Amount thereof, be accepted and/or purchased ratably by the Tranche C Lenders in accordance with Section 2.01(c), then the aggregate Face Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptances to be created and purchased and Drafts to be purchased shall be reduced to such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent determines will permit such Drafts comprising part of such Drawing to be so accepted and purchased (or to be purchased, as the case may be). The Administrative Agent agrees that it will, as promptly as practicable, notify TCCI of the unavailability of Bankers’ Acceptances. Each Draft in connection with any requested Drawing (A) shall be in a minimum amount of CDN$1,000,000 or an integral multiple of CDN$100,000 in excess thereof, and (B) shall be dated the date of the proposed Drawing. Each Tranche C Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. (Toronto time) on the date of each Drawing, (i) complete one or more Drafts in accordance with the related Committed Loan Notice, accept such Drafts and purchase the Bankers’ Acceptances created thereby for the Drawing Purchase Price; or (ii) complete one or more Drafts in accordance with the Drawing Notice and purchase such Drafts for the Drawing Purchase Price and shall, before 1:00 P.M. (Toronto time) on such date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its appropriate Administrative Agent’s Office, in same day funds, the Drawing Purchase Price payable by such Tranche C Lender for such Drafts less the Drawing Fee payable to such Tranche C Lender with respect thereto under Section 2.15(b). Upon the fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2, the Administrative Agent will make the funds it has received from the Tranche C Lenders available to TCCI at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office.
 
(b) Drawing Fees. TCCI shall, on the date of each Drawing and on the date of each renewal of any outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes, pay to the Administrative Agent, in Canadian Dollars, for the ratable account of the Tranche C Lenders accepting Drafts and purchasing Bankers’ Acceptances or purchasing Drafts which have not been accepted by any Tranche C Lender, the Drawing Fee with respect to such Drafts. TCCI irrevocably authorizes each such Tranche C Lender to deduct the Drawing Fee payable with respect to each Draft of such Tranche C Lender from the Drawing Purchase Price payable by such Tranche C Lender in respect of such Draft in accordance with this Section 2.15 and to apply such amount so withheld to the payment of such Drawing Fee for the account of TCCI and, to the extent such Drawing Fee is so withheld and legally permitted to be so applied, TCCI’s obligations under the preceding sentence in respect of such Drawing Fee shall be satisfied.
 
 

  
 
34

(c)  Limitations on Drawings. Anything in Section 2.15(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, TCCI may not select a Drawing if the obligation of the Tranche C Lenders to
purchase and accept Bankers’ Acceptances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.15(e) or 3.2(b).
 
(d) Binding Effect of Committed Loan Notices. Each Committed Loan Notice for a Drawing shall be irrevocable and binding on TCCI. In the case of any proposed Drawing, TCCI shall indemnify each Tranche C Lender (absent any gross negligence by the Tranche C Lender) against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Tranche C Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in the Committed Loan Notice for such Drawing the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Tranche C Lender to fund the Drawing Purchase Price to be paid by such Tranche C Lender for Drafts when, as a result of such failure, such Drafts are not issued on such date (but, in any event, excluding any loss of profit and the Drawing Fee applicable to such Drafts).
 
(e) Circumstances Making Bankers’ Acceptances Unavailable. If the Administration Agent in good faith determines that for any reason a market for Bankers’ Acceptances does not exist at any time or the Tranche C Lenders cannot for other reasons, after reasonable efforts, readily sell Bankers’ Acceptances or perform their other obligations under this Agreement with respect to Bankers’ Acceptances, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify TCCI and each Tranche C Lender. Thereafter, TCCI’s right to request the acceptance and/or purchase of Drafts shall be and remain suspended until the Administration Agent determines and notifies TCCI and each Tranche C Lender that the condition causing such determination no longer exists.
 
(f) Presigned Draft Forms. To enable the Tranche C Lenders to create Bankers’ Acceptances or purchase Drafts, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.01(c) and this Section 2.15, TCCI hereby appoints each Tranche C Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf (for the purpose of acceptance and/or purchase of Drafts pursuant to this Agreement), in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Tranche C Lender, blank forms of Drafts. In this respect, it is each Tranche C Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of Drafts for acceptance under this Agreement. TCCI recognizes and agrees that all Drafts signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Tranche C Lender shall bind TCCI as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of TCCI. Each Tranche C Lender is hereby authorized (for the purpose of acceptance and/or purchase of Drafts pursuant to this Agreement) to complete and issue such Drafts endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Tranche C Lender; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of Drafts required to be purchased by such Tranche C Lender. On request by TCCI, a Tranche C Lender shall cancel all forms of Drafts which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed by or on behalf of TCCI and which are held by such Tranche C Lender and have not yet been issued in accordance herewith. Each Tranche C Lender further agrees to retain such records in the manner and/or the statutory periods provided in the various Canadian provincial or federal statutes and regulations which apply to such Tranche C Lender. Each Tranche C Lender shall maintain a record with respect to Drafts held by it in blank hereunder, voided by it for any reason, accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and cancelled at their respective maturities.

  
 
35

Each Tranche C Lender agrees to provide such records to TCCI at TCCI’s expense upon request. Drafts shall be signed by a duly authorized officer or officers of TCCI or by its attorneys, including its attorneys appointed pursuant to this Section 2.15(f). Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any Drafts as a signatory for TCCI may no longer be an authorized signatory for TCCI at the date of issuance of a Drafts , 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 Drafts so signed shall be binding on TCCI.
 
(g) Distribution of Bankers’ Acceptances. Bankers’ Acceptances and Drafts purchased by a Tranche C Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 2.01(c) and this Section 2.15 may, in such Tranche C Lender’s sole discretion, be held by such Tranche C Lender for its own account until the applicable BA Maturity Date or sold, rediscounted or otherwise disposed of by it at any time prior thereto in any relevant market therefor.
 
(h) Failure to Fund in Respect of Drawings. The failure of any Tranche C Lender to fund the Drawing Purchase Price to be funded by it as part of any Drawing shall not relieve any other Tranche C Lender of its obligation hereunder to fund its Drawing Purchase Price on the date of such Drawing, but no Tranche C Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Tranche C Lender to fund the Drawing Purchase Price to be funded or made, as the case may be by such other Tranche C Lender on the date of any Drawing.
 
(i) Issue of BA Equivalent Notes. TCCI shall, at the request of a Tranche C Lender, issue one or more non-interest bearing promissory notes (each a “BA Equivalent Note”) payable on the date of maturity of the unaccepted Draft referred to below, in such form as such Tranche C Lender may specify, in a principal amount equal to the Face Amount of, and in exchange for, any unaccepted Drafts which such Tranche C Lender has purchased or has arranged to have purchased in accordance with Section 2.1(c).
 
(j) Payment, Conversion or Renewal of Bankers’ Acceptances. Upon the maturity of a Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note, TCCI may (i) elect to issue a replacement Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note by giving a Drawing Notice in accordance with Section 2.15(a), (ii) elect to have all or a portion of the Face Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, by giving a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.2, or (iii) pay, on or before 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the maturity date for such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note, an amount in Canadian Dollars equal to the Face Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note (notwithstanding that a Tranche C Lender may be the holder thereof at maturity). Any such payment shall satisfy TCCI’s obligations under the Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note to which it relates and the relevant Lender shall thereafter be solely responsible for the payment of such Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes.
 
(k) Automatic Conversion. If TCCI fails to pay any Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note when due, or to issue a replacement Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note in the Face Amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note pursuant to Section 2.15 (j), the unpaid amount due and payable in respect thereof shall be converted, as of such date, and without any necessity for TCCI to give a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.2, to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan made by the Tranche C Lenders

  
 
36

ratably under this Agreement and shall bear interest calculated and payable as provided in Section 2.7
(l) Payment of Bankers Acceptances on Default. In the event that the maturity of outstanding Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes is accelerated pursuant to Section 6.01, TCCI shall pay to the Sub-Agent in Canadian Dollars in same-day funds the aggregate principal amount of all such Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes in satisfaction of its obligations in respect thereof.
 
(m) Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 2.15 and any other provision of Article II with respect to Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes, the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall prevail.
 
ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.1 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by any Borrower to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (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), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment, such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
 
(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay to each appropriate Lender Other Taxes incurred by such Lender.
 
(c) If any Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, such Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent or to such Lender, as the case may be, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.
 
(d) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each appropriate Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid

  
 
37

by the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (ii) amounts payable under Section 3.1(c) and (iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within 15 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.
 
Section 3.2 Illegality.

(a) If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change occurring on or after the date of this Agreement has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful as a result of such Regulatory Change, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or to make a Money Market LIBOR Loan for which a Money Market Quote has been delivered shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (and such Lender shall give such notice promptly upon receiving knowledge that such circumstances no longer exist). If a Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loans to maturity and shall so specify in a notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Tranche C Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to complete and accept Drafts, to purchase Bankers’ Acceptances or to purchase Drafts or to continue to fund or maintain Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Tranche C Lender to TCCI through the Administrative Agent (i) an amount equal to the aggregate Face Amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes outstanding at such time shall, upon such demand, be deposited by TCCI with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.15(l) until the BA Maturity Date of each such Bankers’ Acceptance, Drafts and BA Equivalent Note, (ii) upon the BA Maturity Date of any Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note in respect of which any such deposit has been made, the Administrative Agent shall be, and hereby is, authorized (without notice to or any further action by TCCI) to apply such amount (or the applicable portion thereof) to the payment of such Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or (iii) the obligation of the Tranche C Lenders to complete and

  
 
38

accept Drafts and purchase Bankers’ Acceptances and to purchase Drafts that have not been accepted by a Tranche C Lender shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify TCCI that such Tranche C Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist (and such Lender shall give such notice promptly upon receiving knowledge that such circumstances no longer exist).
 
Section 3.3 Inability to Determine Rates. If the applicable Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan made to a Borrower, or that the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan made to a Borrower does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify such Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the appropriate Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans to such Borrower shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the applicable Required Lenders) revokes such notice (which revocation shall be made promptly upon such instruction from the applicable Required Lenders). Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 3.4 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. 

(a) If on or after (i) the date hereof, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes, or (ii) the date that a Money Market Quote is given for a Money Market LIBOR Loan, any Lender determines that as a result of a Regulatory Change, there shall be a material increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loan or of purchasing, accepting, making or maintaining Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any Eurodollar Rate Loan, Money Market LIBOR Loan, Bankers’ Acceptance, Draft or BA Equivalent Note (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.1 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate), then from time to time within 15 days of demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), subject to Section 3.4(c), the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith (including determination that, for purposes of capital adequacy requirements, the Commitment of such Lender does not constitute a
  
 
39

commitment with an original maturity of one year or less), has the effect of materially reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), subject to Section 3.4(c),the applicable Borrower shall pay within 15 days of demand by such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) Promptly after receipt of knowledge of any Regulatory Change or other event that will entitle any Lender to compensation under this Section 3.4, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent certifying the basis for such request for compensation in accordance with Section 3.6(a) and designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid, or reduce the amount of, compensation payable under this Section 3.4 and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 3.4(a) or 3.4(b) to the contrary, no Borrower shall be obligated to compensate any Lender for any amount arising or accruing before the earlier of (i) 180 days prior to the date on which such Lender gives notice to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.4(c) or (ii) the date such amount arose or began accruing (and such Lender did not know such amount was arising or accruing) as a result of the retroactive application of Regulatory Change or other event giving rise to the claim for compensation.

Section 3.5 Funding Losses. Within 15 days after delivery of the certificate described in the Section 3.6(a) by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, each Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of each of the following (except to the extent incurred by any Lender as a result of any action taken pursuant to Section 3.2):

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan made to such Borrower other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by such Borrower pursuant to Section 9.16;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained but excluding loss of margin for the period after which any such payment or failure to convert, borrow or prepay. The applicable Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.


  
 
40

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

Section 3.6 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. 

(a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive if prepared reasonably and in good faith.

Section 8.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 8.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 8.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this
  
 
53

Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

Section 8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the applicable Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the applicable Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.1, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

Section 8.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of
  
 
54

any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the applicable Required Lenders in accordance with Article VII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
 
Section 8.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to a Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

Section 8.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Persons own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the applicable Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section; provided, further, that such Indemnified Liability was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person acting as or for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the
  
 
55

Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

        Section 8.8 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. CUSA and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each Borrower and its Affiliates as though CUSA were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, CUSA or its Affiliates may receive information regarding a Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of a Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, CUSA shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include CUSA in its individual capacity.

Section 8.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrowers in writing at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor administrative agent is so appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and Sections 9.4 and 9.5 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

Section 8.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
  
 
56

composition or other judicial proceeding relative to a Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on such Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing by such Borrower and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.8 and Section 9.4) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.8 and Section 9.4. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 8.11 Other Agents, Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Section 8.12 Sub-Agent. The Sub-Agent is not a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the ITA and, as such, it and not the Administrative Agent has been designated under this Agreement to carry out certain duties of the Administrative Agent in respect of TCCI. The Sub-Agent shall be subject to each of the obligations in this Agreement to be performed by the Administrative Agent, and each of TCCI and the Tranche C Lenders agrees that the Sub-Agent shall be entitled to exercise each of the rights and shall be entitled to each of the benefits of the
  
 
57

Administrative Agent under this Agreement as relate to the performance of its obligations hereunder. References in Sections 2.15 and 3.1 to the Administrative Agent shall also include the Sub-Agent.

Section 9.1 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in the last sentence of this Section, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the applicable Required Lenders and the applicable Borrower, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or (subject to subsection (c) below) electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

The Borrowers may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

  
 
59

The Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of a Responsible Officer of a Borrower or any other Person designated in writing by a Responsible Officer of a Borrower to the Administrative Agent. All telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

Section 9.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Section 9.4 Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search and filing charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.4 shall be payable within ten Business Days after delivery to the Borrowers of a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the amounts demanded. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.

  
 
60

Section 9.5 Indemnification by the Borrowers. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrowers shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable within 10 Business Days after the Borrowers receive demand therefor setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not, in connection with any single proceeding or series of related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm or internal legal department (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnitees, such firm or internal legal department to be selected by the Administrative Agent; provided that if an Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that (i) there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to other Indemnitees and may conflict therewith or (ii) the representation of such Indemnitee and the other Indemnitees by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate under applicable principles of professional responsibility, such Indemnitee shall have the right to select and retain separate counsel to represent such Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding(s) at the expense of the Borrowers.

Section 9.6 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises any right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any

  
 
61

part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Interbank Rate from time to time in effect.

Section 9.7 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, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Committed Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Committed Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (f) of this Section) with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Committed Loans outstanding thereunder) 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 or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than US$10,000,000 in the case of Tranche A Commitments or Tranche B Commitments or less than CDN$10,000,000 in the case of Tranche C Commitments unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of such Borrower, the applicable Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) 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 with respect to the Committed Loans or the Commitment assigned; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed

  
 
62

assignee is itself a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) 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 US$3,500. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, 9.4 and 9.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section. If the Eligible Assignee is required to deliver documents pursuant to Section 9.15, it shall deliver those documents to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.15.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans 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 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 and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or a Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) in the case of a Tranche C Lender, such Participant is not a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the ITA and (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s 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

  
 
63

the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 9.1 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.9 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. 

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or Section 3.4 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 Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of each Borrower, to comply with Section 9.15 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

Eligible Assignee” means (a) a Lender; (b) an Affiliate of a Lender; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent and (ii) unless an Event of Default with respect to such Borrower has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include a Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates; and provided, further, that, with respect to any Tranche C Commitment or any Tranche C Loans, any Person that is a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the ITA shall not qualify as an Eligible Assignee.

Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

Section 9.8 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including
  
 
64

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); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of a Borrower; (g) with the consent of the applicable Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower; or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Loans. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Borrower relating to such Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from a Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, “Information” shall not include, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans and transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 9.9 Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any Lender, at any time and from time to time, from exercising any right of set off, counterclaim, or other rights it may have otherwise than under this Agreement and or from applying amounts realized against any and all Obligations owing by such Borrower to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made

  
 
65

by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
 
Section 9.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan
Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower.

Section 9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 9.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
Section 9.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

Section 9.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.15 Tax Forms.
  
 
66

(a) (i) Each Tranche A Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to becoming a party to this Agreement (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by

TMCC pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by TMCC pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to TMCC and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to TMCC and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by TMCC pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that TMCC make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender.

(ii) As of the date that each Lender becomes a Tranche B Lender under this Agreement, each such Lender represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Borrower that it is an Exempt Lender and agrees that, if Puerto Rico or United States taxing authorities at any time after the date of this Agreement require that such Lender deliver any certificate, statement or form as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, withholding taxes under the Puerto Rico Code or the Code on any payments by TCPR to such Lender under this Agreement, such Lender shall deliver such certificate, statement or form to the Administrative Agent prior to becoming a party to this Agreement (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein). Thereafter and from time to time, each such Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such duly completed and signed certificates, statements or forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant Puerto Rico or United States taxing authorities and such other evidence as is satisfactory to TCPR and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, Puerto Rico and United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by TCPR pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that TCPR make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

  
 
67

(iii) As of the date that each Lender becomes a Tranche C Lender under this Agreement, each such Lender represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and TCCI that it is not a non-resident in Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the ITA and agrees that as long as it is a Tranche C Lender it will not be a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the ITA.

(iv) Each Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the certificates, statements or forms required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not, in the case of a Tranche A Lender, subject to United States withholding tax or in the case of a Tranche B Lender, subject to Puerto Rico or United States withholding tax; (B) any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such certificates, statements or forms, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code or, in the case of a Tranche B Lender; and (C) in the case of a Tranche C Lender evidence that no Person for whom such Lender is receiving any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender is a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the ITA.

(v) No Borrower shall be required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under Section 3.1 (A) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits pursuant to this Section 9.15(a) or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.15(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 9.15(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 9.15(a) shall relieve such Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.1 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.

(vi) The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which a Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 9.15(a).

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to

68

 such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction.

(c) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.16 Replacement of Lenders. Under any circumstances set forth herein providing that a Borrower shall have the right to replace a Lender as a party to this Agreement and if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or has been deemed insolvent or become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, such Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitment (with the assignment fee to be paid by such Borrower in such instance) pursuant to Section 9.7(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by such Borrower; provided, however, that if such Borrower elects to exercise such rights with respect to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.6(c), it shall be obligated to replace all Lenders that have made similar requests for compensation pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.4. The applicable Borrower shall (y) pay in full all principal, interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender through the date of replacement (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.5) and (z) release such Lender from its obligations under the Loan Documents. Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans.

Section 9.17 Governing Law. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY

  
 
69

OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.

Section 9.18 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (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 or the Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Section 9.19 Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in US Dollars or Canadian Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase US Dollars or Canadian Dollars with such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of TCCI in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Tranche C Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, TCCI agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to TCCI such excess.

Section 9.19 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE

  
 
70

WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE BORROWERS
 
 
To the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
Referred to Below
c/o Citicorp USA, Inc., as Administrative Agent
Two Penns Way
New Castle, DE 19720
 
Re: Credit Agreement
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
I and my staff have acted as counsel for Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp. and Toyota Credit Canada Inc. (the “Borrowers”) in connection with the 364 Day Credit Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2006, among Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, a California corporation, Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of Puerto Rico, Toyota Credit Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, Citicorp USA, Inc., as Administrative Agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agents. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined. This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(v) of the Credit Agreement.
 
I am General Counsel of TMCC and as such I, or members of my staff, have participated in the negotiation of the Credit Agreement. I, or members of my staff, have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and Law as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.
 
Upon the basis of the foregoing and in reliance thereon, I am of the opinion, subject to the assumptions and limitations set forth herein, that:
 
1. TMCC is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of California, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted.
 
2. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the Notes to be delivered by it do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any debt instrument or any other material agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon such Borrower. As to debt instruments or
 

Form of Opinion of Counsel to the Borrower
H-1


agreements which, by their terms, are or may be governed by the Law of a jurisdiction other than California, I have assumed that such debt instruments and agreements are governed by the Law of California for purposes of the opinion expressed in this paragraph.
 
3. The Credit Agreement and the Notes are governed, by their terms, by New York Law. I express no opinion on the enforceability of the Loan Documents under New York Law. If California Law were to apply, the Credit Agreement would constitute a valid and binding agreement of each Borrower and each Note would constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower party thereto, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms.
 
4. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the best of my knowledge threatened against or affecting, any Borrower before any court or arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could materially adversely affect the business, financial position or results of operations of such Borrower or which in any manner draws into question the validity of the Credit Agreement or the Notes.
 
5. Each of TMCC’s corporate Subsidiaries is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted.
 
The opinion set forth in paragraph 3 is subject to: (i) the effect of applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar Laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) limitations on the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief due to the possible existence of equitable defenses or due to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought, (iii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions to the effect that failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy, (iv) limitations based upon statutes or upon public policy limiting a Person’s right to waive the benefits of statutory provisions or of a common law right, (v) limitations on the right of a creditor to exercise remedies or impose penalties for late payments or other defaults by a borrower, if it is determined that (a) either the defaults are not material, such penalties bear no reasonable relation to the damage suffered by the creditor as a result of such delinquencies or defaults, or it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such restrictions or burdens is reasonably necessary for the protection of the creditor, or (b) the creditor’s enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would violate the creditor’s implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, (vi) the unenforceability under certain circumstances, under California or federal Law or court decisions, of provisions releasing a party from, or indemnifying a party against, liability for its own wrongful or grossly negligent acts or where such release or indemnification is contrary to public policy, (vii) the effect of California Law, which provides that a court may refuse to enforce, or may limit the application of, a contract or any clause of a contract which the court finds to have been unconscionable at the time it

was made, or an unfair portion of an adhesion contract, (viii) the effect of California Law, which provides that when a contract permits one party to a contract to recover attorneys’ fees, the prevailing party in any action to enforce any provision of the contract shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, (ix) compliance with, and limitations imposed by, procedural requirements of state Law, including the provisions of the California Commercial Code relating to the exercise of remedies by a creditor; and (x) limitations under California Law as to the right to retain or collect unearned interest. The foregoing limitations, however, do not render the Credit Agreement and the Notes invalid as a whole, and there exists, in the Credit Agreement and the Notes or pursuant to applicable Law, legally adequate remedies for the realization of the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Credit Agreement and the Notes.
 
I am a member of the Bar of the State of California and the foregoing opinion is limited to the Laws of the State of California and the federal Laws of the United States of America. In giving the foregoing opinion, (i) I express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of any Law of any jurisdiction (except the State of California) in which any Lender is located which limits the rate of interest that such Lender may charge or collect; (ii) I have assumed, without independent investigation, that the execution, delivery and performance by the Lenders of the Credit Agreement are within the Lenders’ powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action; and (iii) I have assumed, without independent investigation, that each of the Lenders is exempt from the limitations on interest contained in Article XV, Section 1 of the Constitution of the State of California.
 
The references in this opinion to facts based on the “best of my knowledge” refer only to my own actual, present knowledge and the knowledge of the members of my staff who have given substantive consideration to the matters referred to herein.
 
This opinion is furnished by me as General Counsel for TMCC to you in connection with the Credit Agreement, is solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon by any other person, other than an Eligible Assignee or Participant pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement, without my prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing grant of permission to Eligible Assignees to rely on this opinion, I express no opinion with respect to the effect of any such Eligible Assignee failing to comply with any legal requirement in order for it to enforce the Credit Agreement. I express no opinion as to enforceability of the Loan Documents by a Participant.
 
Respectfully submitted,
 

 
Geri Brewster

Re: Credit Agreement
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as special Commonwealth of Puerto Rico counsel for Citicorp USA, Inc., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), in connection with the 364 Day Credit Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2006, among Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, a California corporation, Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of Puerto Rico (the “Borrower”), Toyota Credit Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, Citicorp USA, Inc., as Administrative Agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agents.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the Notes are within the Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority and do not contravene, or constitute a default

3. The Credit Agreement and the Notes are governed, by their terms, by New York Law. We express no opinion on the enforceability of the Loan Documents under New York Law.

The foregoing limitations, however, do not render the Credit Agreement and the Notes invalid as a whole, and there exists, in the Credit Agreement and the Notes or pursuant to applicable Law, legally adequate remedies for the realization of the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Credit Agreement and the Notes.
 
We are members of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the foregoing opinion is limited to the Laws of Puerto Rico and the federal Laws of the United States of America. In giving the foregoing opinion, (i) we express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of any Law of any jurisdiction (except Puerto Rico) in which any Lender is located which limits the rate of interest that such Lender may charge or collect; and (ii) we have assumed, without independent investigation, that the execution, delivery

We have not independently established the validity of the foregoing assumptions.
 

 
Opinion of Shearman & Sterling LLP
J-2


Generally Applicable Law” means the federal law of the United States of America, and the law of the State of New York (including the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or pursuant thereto), that a New York lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably be expected to recognize as being applicable to either Borrower, the Opinion Documents or the transactions governed by the Opinion Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing definition of Generally Applicable Law, the term “Generally Applicable Law” does not include any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to either Borrower, the Opinion Documents or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Opinion Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.
 
Based upon the foregoing and upon such other investigation as we have deemed necessary and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that each Opinion Document is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower that is a party thereto, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms.
 
Our opinion expressed above is subject to the following qualifications:
 
(a) Our opinion is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally (including without limitation all laws relating to fraudulent transfers).

(b) Our opinion is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of indemnification provisions, or of release or exculpation provisions, contained in the Opinion Documents to the extent that enforcement thereof is contrary to public policy regarding the indemnification against or release or exculpation of criminal violations, intentional harm or violations of securities laws.

(d) We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of any indemnity against loss in converting into a specified currency the proceeds or amount of a court judgment in another currency.

(e) Our opinion is limited to Generally Applicable Law.
 
A copy of this opinion letter may be delivered by any of you to any person that becomes a Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any such person may rely on the opinion expressed above as if this opinion letter were addressed and delivered to such person on the date hereof.
