Agent may require Applicable Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the applicable Borrower(s) to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to Agent, as long as (i) such Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), (ii) such Overadvance is not known by Agent to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Total Canadian Borrowing Base, with respect to all Canadian Borrowers, or ten percent (10%) of the U.S. Borrowing Base, with respect to U.S. Borrowers and (iii) the aggregate amount of the Overadvances existing at any time, together with the Protective Advances outstanding at any time pursuant to Section 2.1.6 below, do not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Commitments then in effect; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause(i) the Canadian Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate Canadian Revolver Commitments or (ii) the U.S. Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments. All Canadian Overadvance Loans shall constitute Canadian Facility Obligations secured by the Canadian Facility Collateral and shall be entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. All U.S. Overadvance Loans shall constitute U.S. Facility Obligations secured by the U.S. Facility Collateral and shall be entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Required Borrower Group Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authority to make further Overadvance Loans to the Borrower or Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group by written notice to the Agent. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section 2.1.5 nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

2.1.6Protective Advances.

(a) The Agent shall be authorized by each Borrower and the Applicable Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make U.S. Base Rate Loans to the U.S. Borrowers on behalf of the U.S. Lenders (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “U.S. Protective Advances”) and Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to any Canadian Borrower on behalf of the Canadian Lenders (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Canadian Protective Advances”) which the Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable to (i) preserve or protect Collateral or any portion thereof or (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations;providedthat no U.S. Protective Advance shall cause the aggregate amount of the U.S. Revolver Exposure at such time to exceed the Borrower Group Commitment then in effect, and no Canadian Protective Advance shall cause the aggregate amount of the Canadian Revolver Exposure at such time to exceed the Borrower Group Commitment (or any Applicable Canadian Borrower Commitment) then in effect;provided furtherthat, the aggregate amount of U.S. Protective Advances and Canadian Protective

Advances outstanding at any time pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not exceed seven and a half percent (7.5%) of the Commitments then in effect;provided furtherthat, the aggregate amount of U.S. Protective Advances and Canadian Protective Advances outstanding at any time pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, together with the Overadvances existing at any time pursuant to Section 2.1.5 above, shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Commitments then in effect. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions set forth in Section 6 have not been satisfied. Each Applicable Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. Required Borrower Group Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances to the Borrower or Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group by written notice to the Agent. Absent such revocation, the Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. All U.S. Protective Advances made by the Agent with respect to U.S. Facility Loan Parties shall be U.S. Facility Obligations, secured by the U.S. Facility Collateral and shall be treated for all purposes as U.S. Base Rate Loans; and all Canadian Protective Advances made by the Agent with respect to Canadian Facility Loan Parties shall be Canadian Facility Obligations, secured by the Canadian Facility Collateral and, if denominated in Canadian dollars, shall be treated for all purposes as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan and, if denominated in Dollars, shall be treated for all purposes as a Canadian Base Rate Loan. At any time that there is sufficient Excess Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied, the Agent may request the Applicable Lenders to make a U.S. Revolver Loan or a Canadian Revolver Loan, as applicable, to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time, the Agent may require the Applicable Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.1.6(b).

(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata share of such Protective Advance. Each Lender shall transfer (a “Transfer”) the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Protective Advance with respect to such purchased interest and participation promptly when requested to the Agent, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, but in any case not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day notified (if notice is provided by the Agent prior to 12:00 p.m. and otherwise on the immediately following Business Day (the “Transfer Date”). Transfers may occur during the existence of a Default or Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Agent shall be applied against the amount of the Protective Advance and, together with Lender’s Pro Rata share of such Protective Advance, shall constitute Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Lender on such Transfer Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 3.1. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

(a) (i) The Loan Party Agent may by written notice to the Agent elect to increase the Maximum Canadian Facility Amount then in effect (a “Canadian Revolver Commitment Increase”) and (ii) the Loan Party Agent may by written notice to the Agent elect to increase the Maximum U.S. Facility Amount then in effect (a “U.S. Revolver Commitment Increase” and together with the Canadian Revolver Commitment Increase, the “Revolver Commitment Increases” and each, a “Revolver Commitment Increase”), in each case, by increasing the Commitment of an Applicable Lender or by causing a Person reasonably acceptable to the Agent that at such time is not a Lender to become a Lender (an “Additional Lender”). Each such notice shall specify the proposed date (each, an “Increase Date”) for the effectiveness of the Revolver Commitment Increase, which date shall be not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Agent. Any increase in the Maximum Canadian Facility Amount or the Maximum U.S. Facility Amount shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such notice or both immediately before and after giving effect thereto as of the Increase Date; (ii) no Lender shall be obligated or have a right to participate in the Revolver Commitment Increase by increasing its Commitment; (iii) the Revolver Commitment Increase, to the extent arising from the admission of an Additional Lender, shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements executed and delivered by the Borrowers and the Agent, and each of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; (iv) the Loan Party Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered any officers’ certificates, board resolutions, legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Agent in connection with the Revolver Commitment Increase; (v) the Borrowers shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses in connection with the Revolver Commitment Increase, including payments required pursuant to Section 3.9 in connection with the Revolver Commitment Increase; (vi) such increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or, in the case of the Canadian Revolver Commitments, in a minimum amount of Cdn$25,000,000; and (vii) the Agent shall have received a certification from a Senior Officer of the Loan Party Agent, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, that such increase is permitted under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture. Any Revolver Commitment Increase shall concurrently increase, as applicable, (1) the U.S. Revolver Commitments then in effect Pro Rata among the U.S. Lenders (including any Additional Lenders who become U.S. Lenders as a result of such Revolver Commitment Increase) and (2) the Canadian Revolver Commitments then in effect Pro Rata among the Canadian Lenders (including any Additional Lenders who become Canadian Lenders as a result of such Revolver Commitment Increase). After giving effect to any Canadian Revolver Commitment Increase, the Canadian Revolver Commitment of each Canadian Lender (and the percentage of each Canadian Revolver Loan that each Participant must purchase a Canadian Revolver Loan participation in) shall be equal to such Canadian Lender’s (or Participant’s) Pro Rata share of the amount of the increased Canadian Revolver Commitments. After giving effect to any U.S. Revolver Commitment Increase, the U.S. Revolver Commitment of each U.S. Lender (and the percentage of each U.S. Revolver Loan that each Participant must purchase a U.S. Revolver Loan participation in) shall be equal to such U.S. Lender’s (or Participant’s) Pro Rata share of the amount of the increased U.S. Revolver Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate amount of all Revolver Commitment Increases made under this Section 2.1.7 exceed $250,000,000, including the Dollar Equivalent of Canadian Revolver Commitment Increases.

(b) The Agent shall promptly inform the Lenders of any request for a Revolver Commitment Increase made by the Loan Party Agent. If the conditions set forth in clause (a) above are not satisfied on the applicable Increase Date (or, to the extent such conditions relate to an earlier date, such earlier date), the Agent shall notify the Loan Party Agent in writing that the requested Revolver Commitment Increase will not be effectuated. On each Increase Date, the Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Loan Party Agent, on or before 3:00 p.m., by telecopier, e-mail or telex, of the occurrence of the Revolver Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date, the amount of Revolver Loans held by each Lender as a result thereof, the amount of the U.S. Revolver Commitment of each U.S. Lender (and the percentage of each U.S. Revolver Loan, if any, that each Participant must purchase a participation interest in) and the amount of the Canadian Revolver Commitment of each Canadian Lender (and the percentage of each Canadian Revolver Loan, if any, that each Participant must purchase a participation interest in) as a result thereof.

The U.S. Swingline Loans shall be U.S. Base Rate Loans and bear interest as set forth in Section 3.1. Each U.S. Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan for all purposes except that payments thereon shall be made to the U.S. Swingline Lender for its own account. The U.S. Swingline Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be secured by all of the U.S. Facility Collateral.

No U.S. Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any U.S. Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(d) No Canadian Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Canadian LC Documents except as a result of the Canadian Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Canadian Fronting Bank shall not have any liability to any Lender if Canadian Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any Canadian Letter of Credit or Canadian LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders of Canadian Borrowers.

2.2.6Canadian Cash Collateral. If any Canadian LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that a Canadian Overadvance exists, (c) after the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then Canadian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of Canadian Fronting Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Canadian Letters of Credit and pay to Canadian Fronting Bank the amount of all other Canadian LC Obligations. Canadian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of demand by Canadian Fronting Bank or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of any Defaulting Lender that is a Canadian Lender. If Canadian Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Canadian Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Canadian Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Canadian Revolver Commitments have terminated, any Canadian Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.3Canadian Borrowers’ Sublimit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, in no event shall any Canadian Borrower be entitled to receive a Canadian Revolver Loan or the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit if at the time of the proposed funding of such Canadian Revolver Loan or the issuance of such Canadian Letter of Credit (and after giving effect thereto and all pending requests for Canadian Revolver Loans and Canadian Letters of Credit by or on behalf of such Canadian Borrower), the sum of (a) the outstanding amount of all Canadian Revolver Loans made to such Canadian Borrower on such date and (b) the Canadian LC Obligations of such Canadian Borrower on such date exceeds the lesser of such Canadian Borrower’s Canadian Borrowing Base (without giving effect to its allocable portion of the Canadian LC Reserve) or Applicable Canadian Borrower Commitment. In no event shall the aggregate Applicable Canadian Borrower Commitments for all Canadian Borrowers exceed the Canadian Revolver Commitments.

2.4Obligations of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly agreed by the Agent and the Loan Party Agent, no Excluded Loan Party shall be liable or in any manner responsible for, or be deemed to have guaranteed, directly or indirectly, whether as a primary obligor, guarantor, indemnitor, or otherwise, and none of their assets shall secure, directly or indirectly, any U.S. Facility Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees, penalties, premiums, expenses, charges, reimbursements, indemnities or any other U.S. Facility Secured Obligations) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1Interest.

(a) The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a U.S. Base Rate Loan, at the U.S. Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; (iii) if a Canadian Prime

Rate Loan, at the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin, (iv) if a Canadian Base Rate Loan, at the Canadian Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin, (v) if a Canadian BA Rate Loan, at the Canadian BA Rate for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin, (vi) if any other U.S. Facility Obligation that is then due and payable (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the U.S. Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for U.S. Base Rate Loans; and (vii) if any other Canadian Facility Obligation that is then due and payable (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Interest shall accrue from the date the Loan is advanced or the Obligation becomes payable, until paid by the applicable Borrower(s). If a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall accrue.

(b) Interest on the Revolver Loans shall be payable in the currency (i.e., Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as the case may be) of the underlying Revolver Loan.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest (including post-petition interest during the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding) at a rateper annumthat is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the Default Rate or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Default Rate from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 3.1.1 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Lender.

(d) Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) for any U.S. Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, quarterly on the first day of each January, April, July and October; (ii) for any LIBOR Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan, on the last day of its Interest Period (and, if its Interest Period exceeds three months, at the end of each period of three months) and (iii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid. In addition, interest accrued on the Canadian Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, and interest accrued on the U.S. Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

3.1.2Application of LIBOR to Outstanding Loans.

(a) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation and the other terms hereof, elect to convert any portion of the U.S. Base Rate Loans or the Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable to, or to continue any LIBOR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a LIBOR Loan. During any Event of Default, Agent

may (and shall at the direction of Required Borrower Group Lenders of the applicable Borrower Group) declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan.

(b) Whenever Borrowers within a Borrower Group desire to convert or continue Loans as LIBOR Loans, Loan Party Agent shall give Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 1:00 p.m. at least three Business Days prior to the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, Agent shall notify each Applicable Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Loan Party Agent shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect thereto as required above, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loans into U.S. Base Rate Loans (if owing by the U.S. Borrowers) or Canadian Base Rate Loans (if owing by any Canadian Borrower).

3.1.3Application of Canadian BA Rate to Outstanding Loans.

(a) The Initial Canadian Borrower may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation and the other terms hereof, elect to convert any portion of the Canadian Prime Rate Loans, or to continue any Canadian BA Rate Loan at the end of its Interest Period as a Canadian BA Rate Loan;provided,however, that such Canadian BA Rate Loans may only be so converted at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. During any Event of Default, Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Borrower Group Lenders of the Borrower Group that consists of the Canadian Borrowers) declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a Canadian BA Rate Loan.

(b) Whenever the Initial Canadian Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as Canadian BA Rate Loans, Loan Party Agent shall give Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 1:00 p.m. at least three Business Days prior to the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, Agent shall notify each Canadian Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Canadian BA Rate Loans, Loan Party Agent shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect thereto as required above, the Initial Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loans into Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

3.1.4Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans, Loan Party Agent, on behalf of the applicable Borrower(s), shall select an interest period to apply (the “Interest Period”), which interest period shall be a one, two, three, six (or if available to all Lenders as determined by such Lenders in good faith based upon prevailing market conditions) nine or twelve month period;provided,however, that:

(a) the Interest Period shall commence on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at its end;

(b) if any Interest Period commences on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the calendar month at its end or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month;

(c) if any Interest Period would expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day; and

(d) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Facility Termination Date (or, in the case of any Loan owing by any Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier).

3.2Fees.

3.2.1Unused Line Fee.

(a) Canadian Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Canadian Lenders, a fee equal to .375% per annum times the average daily amount by which the Canadian Revolver Commitments exceed the Canadian Revolver Exposure during any month. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date.

(b) U.S. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of U.S. Lenders, a fee equal to .375% per annum times the average daily amount by which the U.S. Revolver Commitments exceed the daily balance of U.S. Revolver Loans and stated amount of Letters of Credit during any month. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date.

3.2.2U.S. Letters of Credit Fees. U.S. Borrowers shall pay (a) to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of U.S. Lenders, a fee equal to the per annum rate of the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Loans times the average daily stated amount of U.S. Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; (b) to U.S. Fronting Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to .125% per annum on the stated amount of each U.S. Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable upon the issuance of such U.S. Letter of Credit and at the time of each renewal or extension of each U.S. Letter of Credit; and (c) to U.S. Fronting Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of U.S. Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred.

3.2.3Canadian Letters of Credit Fees. Each Applicable Canadian Borrower shall pay (a) to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Canadian Lenders, a fee equal to the per annum rate of the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Loans times the average daily stated amount of such Applicable Canadian Borrower’s Canadian Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; (b) to Canadian Fronting Bank, for its own

account, a fronting fee equal to .125% per annum on the stated amount of each Canadian Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable upon the issuance of such Canadian Letter of Credit and at the time of each renewal or extension of each Canadian Letter of Credit; and (c) to Canadian Fronting Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Canadian Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred.

3.2.4Other Fees. Borrowers shall pay such other fees as described in the Fee Letter.

3.3Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days, or, in the case of interest based on the Canadian Prime Rate or Canadian BA Rate, on the basis of a 365 day year. Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money, except to the extent such treatment is inconsistent with any Requirement of Law. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail amounts payable by any Borrower under Section 3.4, 3.7 or 3.9 and the basis therefor, submitted to Loan Party Agent by Agent or the affected Lender or U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 Business Days following receipt of the certificate. For the purposes of theInterest Act(Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate calculated on the basis of a period of time different from the actual number of days in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent is the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as applicable) and divided by the number of days in the shorter period (360 days, in the example), and the parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material distinction between the nominal and effective rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations necessary to compare such rates and that the calculations herein are to be made using the nominal rate method and not on any basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest.

3.4Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers within each Borrower Group shall reimburse Agent for all Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Agent in reference to such Borrower Group or its related Loan Party Group Obligations or Collateral of its related Loan Party Group. In addition to such Extraordinary Expenses, such Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for all reasonable and documented legal, accounting, appraisal, and other reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses, without duplication, incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Agent’s Liens on any such Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify such Collateral; and (c) each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Loan Party within such Borrowers’ related Loan Party Group or Collateral securing such Loan Party Group’s Obligations, whether prepared by Agent’s personnel or a third party (subject to the limitations of Section 10.1.15). All legal and accounting fees incurred by Agent Professionals in reference to a Borrower’s related Loan Party Group or its related Loan

Party Group Obligations or Collateral of such Borrower’s related Loan Party Group shall be charged to Borrowers within such Borrower Group at the actual rate charged by such Agent Professionals;providedthat Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse Agent for legal fees shall be limited to the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of Vinson & Elkins LLP, counsel to Agent and Ogilvy Renault LLP, Canadian counsel to Agent and, if necessary, of one local counsel in each other relevant jurisdiction (which may include a local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions). In addition to the Extraordinary Expenses of Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event Default, Borrowers shall reimburse Fronting Banks and Lenders for the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Fronting Banks and Lenders, as a whole, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of their respective rights under the Loan Documents, including all such expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or Insolvency Proceeding. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial statements), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 3.4 shall be due and payable in accordance with Section 3.3.

3.5Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Interest Period Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR or the Canadian BA Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, or Canadian Dollars through bankers’ acceptances then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Interest Period Loans or to convert Floating Rate Loans to Interest Period Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers of the affected Borrower Group shall prepay or, if applicable, convert all Interest Period Loans of such Lender to Floating Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Interest Period Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Interest Period Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers of the affected Borrower Group shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. If any Lender invokes this Section 3.5, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to notify Loan Party Agent and Agent when the conditions giving rise to such action no longer exists,provided,however, that such Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers or to any other Person for its failure to provide such notice.

3.6Inability to Determine Rates. If Required Lenders notify Agent for any reason in connection with a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an Interest Period Loan that (a) Dollar deposits or bankers’ acceptances are not being offered to, as regards LIBOR, banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market or, as regards Canadian BA Rate, Persons in Canada, for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR or the Canadian BA Rate for the requested Interest Period, or (c) LIBOR or the Canadian BA Rate for the requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then

Agent will promptly so notify Loan Party Agent and each Applicable Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Applicable Lenders to make or maintain affected Interest Period Loans, shall be suspended until Agent (upon instruction by Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Loan Party Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of an Interest Period Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted a request for a Floating Rate Loan. If any Lender invokes this Section 3.6, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to notify Loan Party Agent and Agent when the conditions giving rise to such action no longer exists,provided,however, that such Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers or to any other Person for its failure to provide such notice.

3.7Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

3.7.1Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR or the Canadian BA Rate), U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank; or

(b) impose on any Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, U.S. Letter of Credit or participation in U.S. LC Obligations or Canadian Letter of Credit or participation in Canadian LC Obligations;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Interest Period Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any U.S. Letter of Credit or Canadian Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any U.S. Letter of Credit or Canadian Letter of Credit, as applicable), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank, the Borrower Group to which such Lenders, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank has a Commitment shall pay to such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, in each case, in accordance with Section 3.3. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.7.1 shall not apply to any Taxes.

3.7.2Capital Adequacy. If any Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s, U.S. Fronting Bank’s or Canadian Fronting Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, U.S. Fronting Bank’s, Canadian Fronting Bank’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s, U.S. Fronting Bank’s or Canadian Fronting Bank’s Commitments,

Loans, U.S. Letters of Credit or participations in U.S. LC Obligations, Canadian Letters of Credit or participations in Canadian LC Obligations to a level below that which such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank, Canadian Fronting Bank or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, U.S. Fronting Bank’s, Canadian Fronting Bank’s and holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower Group to which such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank has a Commitment will pay to such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered, in each case, in accordance with Section 3.3.

3.7.3Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers of a Borrower Group shall not be required to compensate a Lender to such Borrower Group, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that the Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank notifies Loan Party Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s, U.S. Fronting Bank’s or Canadian Fronting Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.8Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments with respect to a Lender under Section 5.8, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender or unlawful. The Borrower or Borrowers of each affected Borrower Group shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender that has issued a Commitment to such Borrower Group in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than default by a Lender) (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an Interest Period Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of an Interest Period Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, or (c) any Borrower of either Borrower Group fails to repay an Interest Period Loan when required hereunder, then Borrowers of such Borrower Group shall pay to Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses and expenses that it sustains as a consequence thereof, including any loss or expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable to terminate deposits of matching funds, but excluding loss of margin. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 3.9 shall be due and payable in accordance with Section 3.3. Lenders shall not be required to

purchase Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or any other offshore Dollar market to fund any LIBOR Loan, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if each Lender had purchased such deposits to fund its LIBOR Loans.

3.10Maximum Interest. 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 (“maximum rate”). If 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 Obligations of the Borrower Group to which such excess interest relates or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to such Borrower Group. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of Section 3.10, if any provision of any of the Loan Documents would obligate any Canadian Domiciled Loan Party to make any payment of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Applicable Law or would result in the receipt of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the applicable recipient of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid by the Canadian Facility Loan Parties to the applicable recipient under the Loan Documents; and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid by the Canadian Facility Loan Parties to the applicable recipient which would constitute interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the applicable recipient shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then Canadian Facility Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the applicable recipient in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the applicable recipient to the applicable Canadian Facility Loan Party. Any amount or rate of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations referred to in this Section 3.10 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Canadian Revolver Loans to any Canadian Borrower remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro rated over the period from the Closing Date to the date of Full Payment of the Canadian Facility Obligations, and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

The proceeds of such Revolver Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation.

(d) If any Borrower within a Borrower Group establishes a controlled disbursement account with Bank of America or any branch or Affiliate of Bank of America, then the presentation for payment of any check, ACH or electronic debit or other payment item drawn on such account at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for Revolver Loans by such Borrower Group on the date of such presentation, in the amount of such payment item, and shall bear interest at the per annum rate applicable hereunder to U.S. Base Rate Loans, in the case of insufficient funds owing by any U.S. Facility Loan Party, or to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in the case of insufficient funds owing by a Canadian Facility Loan Party. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement account or other appropriate account.

4.1.2Fundings by Lenders; Settlement.

(a) Each Applicable Lender shall timely honor its Borrower Group Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans under such Borrower Group Commitment that is properly requested hereunder;provided,however, that no Lender shall be required to honor its Borrower Group Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of any Borrowing that would cause the U.S. Revolver Loans to exceed the U.S. Borrowing Base or the Canadian Revolver Loans to exceed the Total Canadian Borrowing Base, as applicable. Agent shall endeavor to notify the Applicable Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 12:00 noon on the proposed funding date for Floating Rate Loans or by 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days before any proposed funding of Interest Period Loans. Each Applicable Lender shall fund to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested funding date, unless Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which event each Applicable Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from the Applicable Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolver Loans as directed by Loan Party Agent. Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from an Applicable Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Applicable Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrower or Borrowers within such Borrower Group. If an Applicable Lender’s share of any Borrowing is not received by Agent, then the Borrower or Borrowers within the Borrower Group agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may, in its discretion, fund any request for a Borrowing of Canadian Revolver Loans or U.S. Revolver Loans as Canadian Swingline Loans or U.S. Swingline Loans, as applicable.

(b) To facilitate administration of the Revolver Loans, the Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower or any other Loan Party) that settlement among them with respect to Swingline Loans and other Revolver Loans may take place on a date determined from time to time by the Agent, which shall occur at least once every five Business Days with respect to Swingline Loans and any other Revolver Loans. On each settlement date, settlement shall be made with each Lender in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by the Agent to the Lenders. Between settlement dates, the Agent may in its discretion apply payments on

Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by Loan Party Agent or any Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender’s obligation to make settlements with the Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among the Lenders hereunder, then each Applicable Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the applicable Swingline Lender a Pro Rata participation in each unpaid U.S. Swingline Loan or Canadian Swingline Loan, as applicable, and shall transfer the amount of such participation to the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after the Agent’s request therefor.

4.1.3Notices. Each Borrower authorizes the Agent and Lenders to extend Loans, convert or continue Revolver Loans, effect selections of interest rates, and transfer funds to or on behalf of applicable Borrowers based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions by the Loan Party Agent to the Agent. The Loan Party Agent shall confirm each such request by reasonably prompt delivery to the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent or Lenders, the records of the Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of the Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by the Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on the Loan Party Agent’s behalf.

4.2Defaulting Lender.

4.2.1Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or participate in Loans or Letters of Credit, the Agent may exclude the Commitments and Loans of any Defaulting Lender from the calculation of Pro Rata shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 14.1.1(c).

4.2.2Payments; Fees. The Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to the Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. The Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s LC Obligations, or readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 3.2.1. If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Section 3.2.2 or Section 3.2.3 shall be paid to such Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.2.2, the LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender may be reallocated to the other Lenders only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the U.S. Revolver Exposure and/or the Canadian Revolver Exposure, as applicable, of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s

Commitment The Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not reallocated.

4.2.3Cure. Borrowers, the Agent and each Fronting Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and Loans, and all outstanding Revolver Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by the Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, the Agent and each Fronting Bank, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

4.3Number and Amount of Interest Period Loans; Determination of Rate. For ease of administration, all Interest Period Loans of the same Type to a Borrower Group having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods and the same currency shall be aggregated together, and such Loans shall be allocated among the Applicable Lenders on a Pro Rata basis. With respect to U.S. Borrowers, no more than six (6) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans when made, continued or converted shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, or an increment of $100,000 in excess thereof. With respect to Canadian Borrowers, no more than six (6) Borrowings of Interest Period Loans may be outstanding at any time, and each Borrowing of Interest Period Loans when made, continued or converted shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 in the case of LIBOR Loans, or an increment of $100,000 in excess thereof, or Cdn$1,000,000 in the case of Canadian BA Rate Loans, or an increment of Cdn$100,000 in excess thereof. Upon determining LIBOR or the Canadian BA Rate for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers within a Borrower Group, Agent shall promptly notify Loan Party Agent thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Loan Party Agent, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

4.4Loan Party Agent. Each Loan Party hereby designates MRC (“Loan Party Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of any Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Agent, any U.S. Fronting Bank, any Canadian Fronting Bank or any Lender. Loan Party Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Agent and any Lender shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any Notice of Borrowing) delivered by Loan Party Agent on behalf of any Loan Party. Agent and any Lender may give any notice or communication with a Loan Party hereunder to Loan Party Agent on behalf of such Loan Party. Each of Agent, any U.S. Fronting Bank, any Canadian Fronting Bank and any Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Loan Party Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Loan Party Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

4.5One Obligation. Without in any way limiting any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations owing by each U.S. Facility Loan Party shall constitute one general obligation of the U.S. Facility Loan Parties and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Credit Document) shall be secured by Agent’s Lien upon all Collateral of each U.S. Facility Loan Party;provided,however, that each Credit Party shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each U.S. Facility Loan Party to the extent of any U.S. Facility Secured Obligations owed by such U.S. Facility Loan Party to such Credit Party.

4.6Effect of Termination. On the effective date of any termination of the Commitments, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and any Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates’ Bank Products (including, only with the consent of Agent, any Cash Management Services). All undertakings of Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents shall survive, and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents until Full Payment of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding Full Payment of the Secured Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any Collateral unless, with respect to any damages Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to Secured Obligations, Agent receives (a) a written agreement, executed by the Loan Party Agent and any Person whose advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Secured Obligations, indemnifying Agent and Lenders from any such damages; or (b) such Cash Collateral as Agent, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect against any such damages. Sections 2.2, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.4, 5.8, 5.9, 12, 14.2 and this Section 4.6, and the obligation of each Loan Party and Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Secured Obligations and any release relating to this credit facility.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS

5.1General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, and in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in any computation of interest and fees. Any payment of an Interest Period Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9. Any prepayment of Loans to a Borrower Group shall be applied first to Floating Rate Loans of such Borrower Group and then to Interest Period Loans of such Borrower Group;provided,however, that as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, prepayments of Interest Period Loans may, at the option of Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group and Agent, be held by Agent as Cash Collateral and applied to such Loans at the end of their Interest Periods. All payments with respect to any U.S. Facility Obligations shall be made in Dollars and all payments with respect to any Canadian Facility Obligations shall be made in Canadian Dollars or, if any portion of such Canadian Facility Obligations is denominated in Dollars, then in Dollars.

5.2Repayment of Obligations. All Canadian Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date

and all U.S. Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, in each case, unless payment of such Obligations is sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium, subject to, in the case of Interest Period Loans, the payment of costs set forth in Section 3.9. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, Borrowers of the Borrower Group owing such Overadvance shall, on the sooner of Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower of such Borrower Group has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of the related Overadvance Loan to zero.

5.3Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, within 10 Business Days of demand by Agent therefor.

5.4Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers is made to Agent, U.S. Fronting Bank, Canadian Fronting Bank or any Lender, or Agent, U.S. Fronting Bank, Canadian Fronting Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent, U.S. Fronting Bank, Canadian Fronting Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a Creditor Representative or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

5.5Post-Default Allocation of Payments.

5.5.1Allocation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Secured Obligations, whether arising from payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(a) with respect to monies, payments, Property or Collateral of or from any U.S. Facility Loan Parties:

(i) first, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent, to the extent owing by any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party;

(ii) second, to all amounts owing to U.S. Swingline Lender on U.S. Swingline Loans;

(iii) third, to all amounts owing to any U.S. Fronting Bank on U.S. LC Obligations;

(iv) fourth, to all U.S. Facility Obligations constituting fees owing by the U.S. Facility Loan Parties (exclusive of any such amounts owing by the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties which are guaranteed by the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties);

(v) fifth, to all U.S. Facility Obligations constituting interest owing by the U.S. Facility Loan Parties (exclusive of any such amounts owing by the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties which are guaranteed by the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties);

(vi) sixth, to Cash Collateralization of U.S. LC Obligations;

(vii) seventh, to all U.S. Revolver Loans;

(viii) eighth, to all other U.S. Facility Secured Obligations (exclusive of any such amounts owing by the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties which are guaranteed by the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties); and

(ix) ninth, to be applied in accordance with clause (b) below, to the extent there are insufficient funds for the Full Payment of all Secured Obligations owing by the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties.

(b) with respect to monies, payments, Property or Collateral of or from any Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties, together with any allocations pursuant to subclause (ix) of clause (a) above:

(i) first, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent, to the extent owing by any Canadian Domiciled Loan Party;

(ii) second, to all amounts owing to Canadian Swingline Lender on Canadian Swingline Loans;

(iii) third, to all amounts owing to any Canadian Fronting Bank on Canadian LC Obligations;

(iv) fourth, to all Canadian Facility Obligations constituting fees;

(v) fifth, to all Canadian Facility Obligations constituting interest;

(vi) sixth, to Cash Collateralization of Canadian LC Obligations

(vii) seventh, to all Canadian Revolver Loans; and

(viii) eighth, to all other Canadian Facility Secured Obligations.

Amounts shall be applied to each category of Secured Obligations set forth within subsection (a) or (b) above, as applicable, until Full Payment thereof and then to the next category. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Secured Obligations in the category. Amounts distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of the maximum Secured Bank Product Obligations last reported

to Agent or the actual Secured Bank Product Obligations as calculated by the methodology reported to Agent for determining the amount due. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Party. If a Secured Party fails to deliver such calculation within five days following request by Agent, Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is zero. The allocations set forth in this Section 5.5.1 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Secured Parties as among themselves, and any allocation within subsection (a) or (b) of proceeds of the realization of Collateral may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. This Section 5.5.1 is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences and anything else to the contrary set forth in any of the Loan Documents, (i) all payments by or on behalf of any Canadian Facility Loan Party or in respect of any Canadian Facility Secured Obligations shall be applied only to the Canadian Facility Secured Obligations, and (ii) all payments by or on behalf of any U.S. Facility Loan Party or in respect of any U.S. Facility Secured Obligations shall be applied first to U.S. Facility Secured Obligations then due until paid in full and then to all other Secured Obligations until paid in full.

5.5.2Erroneous Application. Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).

5.6Application of Payments. The ledger balance in the main Dominion Account of each Borrower Group as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Loan Party Group Obligations of such Borrower Group at the beginning of the next Business Day during the existence of any Cash Dominion Event. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group as long as no Event of Default exists. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent deems advisable;provided,however, that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall not apply any payments to any Interest Period Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

5.7Loan Account; Account Stated.

5.7.1Loan Account. Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Obligations of Borrowers within each Borrower Group resulting from each Loan made to such Borrowers or issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrowers from time to time. Any failure of Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower to pay any amount owing hereunder. Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of Loan Party Agent, and each U.S. Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Secured Obligations including its guarantee of the Secured Obligations of the Canadian Borrowers.

5.7.2Entries Binding. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within 45 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.8Taxes.

5.8.1Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party of Obligations shall be free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, unless required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law requires any Loan Party or Agent to withhold or deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the withholding or deduction shall be based on Applicable Law and the information provided pursuant to Section 5.9, and the applicable Loan Party or Agent shall pay the amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased so that Agent, Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no such withholding or deduction (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.8.1) had been made. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities.

5.8.2Payment. Borrowers shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after written demand therefor) Agent, Applicable Lenders and, in the case of U.S. Borrowers, U.S. Fronting Bank, and, in the case of each Canadian Borrower, Canadian Fronting Bank, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.8.2) paid by Agent, any Applicable Lender or, in the case of the U.S. Borrowers, U.S. Fronting Bank, or, in the case of each Canadian Borrower, Canadian Fronting Bank, with respect to any Obligations of such Borrower’s Borrower Group, U.S. Letters of Credit (in the case of U.S. Borrowers), Canadian Letters of Credit (in the case of Canadian Borrowers) or Loan Documents (to the extent relating to Obligations), whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and including all penalties, interest and reasonable expenses relating thereto. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and basis for calculation of any such payment or liability delivered to Loan Party Agent by Agent, or by an Applicable Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank (with a copy to Agent), shall be conclusive, absent manifest error and all amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 5.8.2 shall be due in accordance with Section 3.3. As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower, Loan Party Agent shall deliver to Agent a receipt from the Governmental Authority or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

5.8.3Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Agent, any Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund or credit from a Governmental Authority in respect of any Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes as to which is has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid

additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.8, the Agent, such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank, as applicable, shall promptly notify such Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and, if the Agent, such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank determines in good faith that making a claim for refund will not have a material adverse effect on its Taxes or business operations, shall, within 60 days after receipt of a request by such Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund. If Agent, a Lender, any U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.8, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section 5.8 with respect to the Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);providedthat Borrowers agree in writing to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus interest attributable to the period during which the Borrowers held such funds) to Agent, such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank in the event that Agent, such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Agent, any Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes) to any Borrower or any other Person.

5.9Lender Tax Information.

5.9.1Generally. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which an Loan Party is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to Agent and Loan Party Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or Loan Party Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Agent or Loan Party Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or Loan Party Agent as will enable Agent and Loan Party Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

5.9.2U.S. Borrowers. If a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Agent and Loan Party Agent IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or Loan Party Agent to determine whether such Lender is subject to information reporting requirements and to establish that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding. If any Foreign Lender is entitled to any exemption from or reduction of withholding tax for payments with respect to the U.S. Facility Obligations, it shall deliver to Agent and Loan Party Agent, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon request by Agent or Loan Party Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to

do so) two original executed copies of, (a) IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (b) IRS Form W-8ECI; (c) IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation (including, a certificate in the form ofExhibit J-2(a “Non-Bank Certificate”) applicable to a partnership, if applicable); (d) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 871(h) or section 881(c) of the Code, IRS Form W-8BEN and a Non-Bank Certificate in the form ofExhibit J-1orExhibit J-2, as applicable; and/or (e) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be necessary to allow Agent and U.S. Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

5.9.3Lender Obligations. Each Applicable Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank and Canadian Fronting Bank shall promptly notify Loan Party Agent and Agent of any change in circumstances that would change any claimed Tax exemption or reduction. Each Applicable Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank and Canadian Fronting Bank, in each case, severally and not jointly with any other Applicable Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank and/or Canadian Fronting Bank, shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) affected Borrowers of the Borrower Group to which such Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank has issued a Commitment and Agent for any Taxes, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges or one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) incurred by or asserted against such affected Borrower of such Borrower Group or Agent by any Governmental Authority due to such Applicable Lender’s, U.S. Fronting Bank’s or Canadian Fronting Bank’s failure to deliver, or inaccuracy or deficiency in, any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to this Section. Each Applicable Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank and Canadian Fronting Bank authorizes Agent to set off any amounts due to Agent under this Section against any amounts payable to such Applicable Lender, U.S. Fronting Bank or Canadian Fronting Bank under any Loan Document. If a payment made to Agent, a Lender or a Fronting Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to United States withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, Agent, such Lender or such Fronting Bank shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations under such sections, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.9.3, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

5.10Guarantee by U.S. Facility Loan Parties.

5.10.1Joint and Several Liability. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders the prompt payment and performance of, all Secured Obligations and all agreements of each other Loan Party under the Credit Documents. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party agrees that its guarantee obligations as a U.S. Facility Guarantor and as a Canadian Facility Guarantor

hereunder constitute a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such guarantee obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Secured Obligations, and that such guarantee obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Secured Obligations or Credit Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.10) or any other Credit Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guarantee); (d) the insolvency of any Loan Party; (e) any election by Agent or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any Lender against any Loan Party for the repayment of any Secured Obligations under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Secured Obligations.

5.10.2Waivers.

(a) Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party hereby expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Secured Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Loan Party. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Secured Obligations. It is agreed among each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party acknowledges that its guarantee pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon the Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non judicial sale or enforcement, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any U.S. Domiciled Party or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party consents to such action and, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party might otherwise have had. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency

judgment against any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall not impair any other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Secured Obligations. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Secured Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Agent may bid all or a portion of the Secured Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Secured Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Secured Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.10, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

5.10.3Extent of Liability; Contribution.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s liability under this Section 5.10 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s Allocable Amount.

(b) If any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party makes a payment under this Section 5.10 of any Secured Obligations (other than amounts for which such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, exceeds the amount that such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party would otherwise have paid if each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party had paid the aggregate Secured Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties, then such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party under this Section 5.10 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall limit the liability of any Loan Party to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Loan Party (including Loans advanced to any other Loan Party and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Loan Party), U.S. LC Obligations relating to U.S. Letters of Credit issued to support such Loan Party’s business (in the case of a U.S. Borrower), Canadian LC Obligations relating to Canadian

Letters of Credit issued to support such Loan Party’s business (in the case of a Canadian Borrower), and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Secured Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Loan Party shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

5.10.4Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers and Guarantors make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise so that Borrowers and Guarantors share an identity of interests such that any benefit received by any one of them benefits the others. Borrowers and Guarantors render services to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers and/or Guarantors, as the case may be, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of the others, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers and Guarantors (including inter alia, the payment by Borrowers and Guarantors of creditors of the other Borrowers or Guarantors and guarantees by Borrowers and Guarantors of indebtedness of the other Borrowers and Guarantors and provide administrative, marketing, payroll and management services to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers and Guarantors). Borrowers and Guarantors have centralized accounting and legal services, certain common officers and directors and generally do not provide consolidating financial statements to creditors. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Agent’s and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

5.10.5Subordination. Each Loan Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Loan Party, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Secured Obligations.

5.11Currency Matters. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from Borrowers hereunder unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise agreed to by Agent.

5.11.1Each repayment of a Revolver Loan, U.S. LC Obligation or Canadian LC Obligation or a part thereof shall be made in the currency in which such Revolver Loan, U.S. LC Obligation or Canadian LC Obligation is denominated at the time of that repayment;

5.11.2Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the principal or other sum in respect of which such interest is denominated;

5.11.3Each payment of fees by a U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be in Dollars;

5.11.4Each payment of fees by a Canadian Borrower pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be in Canadian Dollars;

5.11.5Each payment in respect of Extraordinary Expenses and any other costs, expenses and indemnities shall be made in the currency in which the same were incurred by the party to whom payment is to be made; and

5.11.6Any amount expressed to be payable in Canadian Dollars shall be paid in Canadian Dollars.

No payment to any Credit Party (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Loan Party in respect of which it was made unless and until such Credit Party shall have received Full Payment in the currency in which such obligation or liability is payable pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 5.11. To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into such currency, fall short of such obligation or liability actual or contingent expressed in that currency, such Loan Party (together with the other Loan Parties within its Loan Party Group or other obligors pursuant to any Guarantee of the Obligations of such Loan Party Group) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Credit Party, with respect to the amount of the shortfall with respect to amounts payable by such Loan Party hereunder, with such indemnity surviving the termination of this Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made which resulted in the shortfall. To the extent that the amount of any such payment to a Credit Party shall, upon an actual conversion into such currency, exceed such obligation or liability, actual or contingent, expressed in that currency, such Credit Party shall return such excess to the members of the affected Borrower Group.

All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by the Applicable Canadian Borrower contrary to the provisions of this Section shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Applicable Canadian Borrower and shall be forthwith delivered to Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be retained by Agent in an account to be established by Agent upon receipt of such money or other property, shall be held as security for the Applicable Canadian Borrower Secured Obligations and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.6. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and Agent shall have received a certificate from a Senior Officer of Loan Party Agent to that effect, Agent

108

shall promptly remit to the Applicable Canadian Borrower (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that the Applicable Canadian Borrower would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section and that remain in such account.

7.4Other Collateral.

7.4.1Commercial Tort Claims. Loan Party Agent shall within 10 days of a Senior Officer becoming aware thereof notify Agent in writing if any Loan Party has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Commercial Tort Claims reasonably expected to result in awarded damages (net of anticipated legal expenses relating thereto) of less than $1,000,000 in aggregate) and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to confer upon Agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) a duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such claim.

7.4.2Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Loan Party Agent shall notify Agent in writing within 30 days if, after the Closing Date, any Loan Party obtains any interest in any Property consisting of (a) Deposit Accounts other than Excluded Deposit Accounts, (b) Chattel Paper, (c) negotiable Documents, (d) promissory notes and other Instruments (other than checks) or (d) Investment Property consisting of any Securities Account and, upon Agent’s reasonable request, shall promptly take such actions as Agent reasonably deems appropriate to effect Agent’s duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral (so long as it does not constitute Notes Priority Lien Collateral), including obtaining any appropriate possession, control agreement or lien waiver (it being understood that there shall be no requirement to obtain lien waivers not obtainable with commercially reasonable efforts), as appropriate and/or executing such additional Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by Agent. If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Agent’s request, the applicable Loan Party having rights in such Collateral shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement in favor of the Agent in each case to the extent the Cost of Inventory held by such third person exceeds $1,000,000 in the aggregate.

7.5Limitation on Permitted Discretion.

(a) The Agent shall have the right to establish, modify or eliminate Reserves against Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory from time to time in its Permitted Discretion. In addition, the Agent reserves the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing

109

Date, to adjust any of the applicable criteria, to establish new criteria and to adjust advance rates with respect to Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory, in its Permitted Discretion, subject to Section 14.1.1.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies arising prior to the Closing Date and disclosed to the Agent prior to the Closing Date shall not be the basis for any establishment or modification of Reserves, eligibility criteria or advance rates unless (i) in the case of Reserves and eligibility criteria, such Reserves or eligibility criteria were established on the Closing Date or (ii) such circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies shall have changed in any material respect since the Closing Date.

(c) Any exercise of Permitted Discretion with respect to Reserves shall be based on a good faith reasonable determination of the Agent that (i) the circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies giving rise thereto will or reasonably could be expected to adversely affect a material portion of the value of the Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory in either the Canadian Borrowing Base or the U.S. Borrowing Base, the enforceability or priority of the Agent’s Liens thereon or the amount the Secured Parties would likely receive in the liquidation of any material portion of Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory in either the Canadian Borrowing Base or the U.S. Borrowing Base and (ii) the proposed action to be taken by the Agent to mitigate the effects described in clause (i) (including the amount of any Reserves) bears a reasonable relationship to the circumstance, condition, event or other contingency that is the basis therefor.

(d) Upon delivery of notice to the Loan Party Agent by the Agent of its intent to establish or increase Reserves, the Agent shall be available to discuss the proposed Reserves or increase, and Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the circumstance, condition, event or other contingency that is the basis for such Reserves or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Agent to establish or change such Reserves, unless the Agent shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that the circumstance, condition, event or other contingency that is the basis for such new Reserves or such change no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by Borrowers.

7.6No Assumption of Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Loan Parties relating to any Collateral.

7.7Further Assurances. Promptly upon Agent’s request, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 7, Loan Party Agent shall deliver such instruments, assignments, title certificates, or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as Agent reasonably deems appropriate under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement.

Each Loan Party shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit to Agent sales, collection, reconciliation and other reports in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent in accordance with Section 10.1.1(g). If the collectability of Accounts of any Borrower Group in an aggregate face amount exceeding $10,000,000 is impaired, Loan Party Agent shall notify Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) after any Loan Party has knowledge thereof.

8.1.2Taxes. If an Account of any Loan Party includes a charge for any Taxes, Agent is authorized, in its discretion, if the applicable Loan Party has not paid such Taxes when due, to pay the amount thereof to the proper Governmental Authority for the account of such Loan Party and to charge the Loan Parties therefor;provided,however, that neither Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from the Loan Parties or with respect to any Collateral.

8.1.3Account Verification. During a Default, Event of Default or Cash Dominion Event, Agent shall have the right, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any Loan Party, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of the Loan Parties by mail, telephone or otherwise. Loan Parties shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

8.1.4Maintenance of Dominion Accounts. Borrowers shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to Agent. Borrowers shall obtain a Deposit Account Control Agreement from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank, establishing Agent’s control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account and waiving offset rights of such servicer or bank, except for customary administrative charges. If a Dominion Account is not maintained with Bank of America, Agent may, during the existence of any Cash Dominion Event, require immediate transfer of all funds in such account to a Dominion Account maintained with Bank of America. Agent and Lenders assume no responsibility to Borrowers for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

8.1.5Proceeds of Collateral. Borrowers shall request in writing and otherwise take all necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account).

Each Loan Party shall keep accurate and complete records of its Inventory, including costs and daily withdrawals and additions, and shall submit to Agent inventory and reconciliation reports (which reports shall set forth the Inventory information by location) in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent in accordance with Section 10.1.1(g).

8.2.2Returns of Inventory. No Loan Party shall return any Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other Person, whether for cash, credit or otherwise, unless (a) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) no Default, Event of Default or Overadvance exists or would result therefrom; (c) Agent is promptly notified if the aggregate value of all Inventory returned in any month exceeds $25,000,000, in aggregate; and (d) any payment received by a Loan Party for a return is promptly remitted to Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 5.5 or 5.6, as applicable.

8.2.3Storage and Maintenance.

8.3Administration of Deposit Accounts.Schedule 8.3sets forth all Deposit Accounts maintained by Borrowers as of the date hereof, including all Dominion Accounts. Each Borrower shall take all actions necessary to establish Agent’s control of each such Deposit Account through a Deposit Account Control Agreement (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts). A Borrower shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than Agent) to have control over a Deposit Account or any Property deposited therein. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a U.S. Facility Loan Party may establish a deposit account that does not contain proceeds of Loans, Inventory, Accounts or Specified Revolving Credit Collateral, which deposit account shall be (a) identified as such in writing to the Agent and (b) solely for the deposit of proceeds from the sale of Notes Priority Collateral pending final application thereof to the Senior Secured Notes (such account, the “Net Available Cash Account”). Loan Party Agent shall promptly notify Agent of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account and, with the consent of Agent, will amendSchedule 8.3to reflect same.

(a) Each Borrower shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral, covering casualty, hazard, theft, malicious mischief, flood and other risks, in amounts, with endorsements and with insurers (having a Best’s Financial Strength Rating of at least VII, unless otherwise approved by Agent) as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent. From time to time upon request, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the originals or certified copies of their insurance policies and updated flood plain searches. Unless Agent shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Agent as loss payee or additional insured, as appropriate; (ii) requiring 10 days prior written notice to Agent (or such shorter period as agreed to by Agent) in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower or the owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by the policy. If any Borrower fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge such Borrower therefor. Each Borrower agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly upon the request of Agent, copies of all reports made to insurance companies. While no Event of Default exists, Borrowers may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are delivered to Agent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral of a Loan Party Group, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral of a Loan Party Group (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral of a Loan Party Group, shall be borne and paid by Loan Parties of such Loan Party Group. Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Agent’s actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Loan Parties’ sole risk.

8.4.3Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Loan Party shall at all times (a) defend its title to Collateral and Agent’s Liens therein against all Persons, claims and demands whatsoever, except Permitted Liens.

8.5Power of Attorney. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact), coupled with an interest, for the purposes provided in this Section. Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or a Loan Party’s name, but at the cost and expense of Loan Parties within such Loan Party’s Loan Party Group:

(a) Endorse a Loan Party’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into Agent’s possession or control; and

9.1.12Subsidiaries.Schedule 9.1.12lists each Subsidiary of such Borrower (and the direct and indirect ownership interest of such Borrower therein), in each case existing on the Closing Date. To the knowledge of such Borrower, after due inquiry, each Material Subsidiary as of the Closing Date has been so designated onSchedule 9.1.12.

9.1.13Intellectual Property. Such Borrower and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries have obtained all rights to intellectual property, free from burdensome restrictions, that are necessary for the operation of their respective businesses as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to obtain any such rights could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Materials at, on, under or from any currently or formerly owned or leased Real Estate or facility in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.1.15Properties. Such Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to or leasehold interest in all properties that are necessary for the operation of their respective businesses as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, free and clear of all Liens (other than any Liens permitted by this Agreement or the Senior Secured Notes Indenture) and except where the failure to have such good title or such leasehold interest could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No waiver or course of dealing shall be established by (a) the failure or delay of the Agent or any Lender to require strict performance by Loan Parties with any terms of the Loan Documents, or to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise; (b) the making of any Loan or issuance of any Letter of Credit during a Default, Event of Default or other failure to satisfy any conditions precedent; or (c) acceptance by the Agent or any Lender of any payment or performance by a Loan Party under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein.

11.5Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court or obtaining an order enforcing a judgment, it becomes necessary to convert any amount due under this Agreement in Dollars or in any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 11.5 called the “first currency”) into any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 11.5 called the “second currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the Agent’s spot rate of exchange for buying the first currency with the second currency prevailing at the Agent’s close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which the judgment is given or (as the case may be) the order is made. Any payment made by an Loan Party to any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement in the second currency shall constitute a discharge of the obligations of any applicable Loan Parties to pay to such Credit Party any amount originally due to the Credit Party in the first currency under this Agreement only to the extent of the amount of the first currency which such Credit Party is able, on the date of the receipt by it of such payment in any second currency, to purchase, in accordance with such Credit Party’s normal banking procedures, with the amount of such second currency so received. If the amount of the first currency falls short of the amount originally due to such Credit Party in the first currency under this Agreement, Loan Parties agree that they will indemnify each Credit Party against and save such Credit Party harmless from any shortfall so arising. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation of each such Loan Party separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due to any Credit Party under any Loan Documents or under any such judgment or order. Any such shortfall shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by such Credit Party and Loan Parties shall not be entitled to require any proof or evidence of any actual loss. If the amount of the first currency exceeds the amount originally due to a Credit Party in the first currency under this Agreement, such Credit Party shall promptly remit such excess to Loan Parties. The covenants contained in this Section 11.5 shall survive the Full Payment of the Obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 12. AGENT

12.1Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.

12.1.1 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each Secured Party appoints and designates Bank of America as the Agent under all Loan Documents. The Agent may, and each Secured Party authorizes the Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which the Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for the Agent’s benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Secured Party agrees that any action taken by the Agent, Required Borrower Group Lenders or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (ii) execute and deliver as the Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement (or joinder thereto), and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Loan Party

152

or other Person; (iii) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (iv) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (v) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of the Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto. The Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, whether to impose or release any reserve, or whether any conditions to funding or to issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate the Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.

(b) For the purposes of creating a solidarité active in accordance with Article 1541 of the Civil Code of Québec between each Secured Party, taken individually, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, each Loan Party and each such Secured Party acknowledge and agree with the Agent that such Secured Party and the Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of each such Loan Party in respect of all Obligations owed by each such Loan Party to the Agent and such Secured Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Solidary Claim”) and that, accordingly, but subject (for the avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code of Québec, each such Loan Party is irrevocably bound towards the Agent and each Secured Party in respect of the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party. As a result of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Agent and each Secured Party shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party and the right to give full acquittance for it. Accordingly, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, as solidary creditor with each Secured Party, shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action in respect of the Solidary Claim and the right to give a full acquittance for same. By its execution of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, each such Loan Party not a party hereto shall also be deemed to have accepted the stipulations hereinabove provided. The parties further agree and acknowledge that such Liens (hypothecs) under the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents shall be granted to the Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth.

12.1.2Duties. The Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. The conferral upon the Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

12.1.3Agent Professionals. The Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. The Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.

12.1.4Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon the Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of

153

any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. The Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders, Required Borrower Group Lenders or other Secured Parties with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from the Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against all Claims that could be incurred by the Agent in connection with any act. The Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders or Required Borrower Group Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders or Required Borrower Group Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 14.1.1. In no event shall the Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

154

(b) The Agent and U.S. Facility Secured Parties appoint each U.S. Lender as agent (for the benefit of U.S. Facility Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any U.S. Facility Collateral held or controlled by such U.S. Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control.

Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of the Agent furnishing a Report to such Lender.

12.3Reliance By Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and statements of Agent Professionals. The Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any delay in acting.

12.4Action Upon Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in Section 6, unless it has received written notice from a the Loan Party Agent, Required Lenders or Required Borrower Group Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or of such conditions, it shall promptly notify the Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Secured Party agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Credit Documents or with the written consent of the Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations), or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC or PPSA sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral or to assert any rights relating to any Collateral.

155

If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.5.1, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the Agent, any Fronting Bank and the other Applicable Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.5.1, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the amount thereof to the Agent for application under Section 4.2 and it shall provide a written statement to the Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction. No Lender shall setoff against any Dominion Account without the prior consent of the Agent.

12.6Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY LOAN PARTIES (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF LOAN PARTIES UNDER ANY CREDIT DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH AGENT INDEMNITEE,PROVIDED THE ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR THE AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF THE AGENT). In no event shall any Lender have any obligation hereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Agent Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee. In the Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to the Secured Parties. If the Agent is sued by any Creditor Representative, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by the Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata share.

12.7Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. The Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Credit Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.8.1Resignation; Successor Agent.

Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as the Agent hereunder, or upon appointment of Required Lenders as successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.6 and 14.2. Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while the Agent. Any successor to Bank of America by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be the Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.

12.8.2Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If the Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Credit Documents due to any Applicable Law, the Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If the Agent so appoints a collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to the Agent under the Credit Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. The Secured Parties shall execute and deliver such documents as the Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Agent until appointment of a new agent.

12.9Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Loan Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it deems necessary concerning the Credit Documents, the Collateral and each Loan Party. Each Secured Party further acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties and the Agent have made no representations or warranties concerning any Loan Party, any Collateral or the legality,

157

validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Credit Documents or Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party or the Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Credit Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to the Agent by any Loan Party or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Loan Party (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of the Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates.

12.10Remittance of Payments and Collections.

12.10.1Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to the Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by the Agent and request for payment is made by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by the Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by the Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to the Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.

12.10.2Failure to Pay. If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to the Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by the Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall Loan Parties be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to the Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by Agent pursuant to Section 4.2.

12.10.3Recovery of Payments. If the Agent pays any amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by the Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount from each Secured Party that received it. If the Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, the Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by the Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by the Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to the Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

12.11Agent in its Individual Capacity. As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Credit Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders”, “Required Borrower Group Lenders” or any similar term shall include Bank of America in its capacity as a Lender. Each of Bank of America and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Loan Parties and their

158

Affiliates, as if Bank of America was not Agent hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. In their individual capacities, Bank of America and its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Loan Parties, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Secured Party agrees that Bank of America and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party, if acquired in such individual capacity.

12.12Agent Titles. Each Lender, other than Bank of America, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Bank of America as an “Agent” or “Arranger” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

12.13Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Bank Product Provider that is not a Lender, by delivery of a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Loan Party Agent, or as otherwise agreed by Agent and Loan Party Agent, shall agree to be bound by Section 5.5 and this Section 12. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations (except those Claims determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee).

12.14No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 is an agreement solely among the Secured Parties and the Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. This Section 12 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Loan Parties or any other Person. As between Loan Parties and the Agent, any action that the Agent may take under any Credit Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by the Secured Parties.

SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

13.1Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, the Agent, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and Fronting Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans, Letters of Credit and other obligations owing to, each Lender or Fronting Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error (provided, that a failure to make any such recordation, or any

159

error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations), and the Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders and the Fronting Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit and other obligations recorded in the Register as owing to such Person, for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender or Fronting Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

13.2Participations.

13.2.1Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Borrower Group Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Loan Parties within the applicable Loan Party Group shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Loan Parties within the applicable Loan Party Group and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and the Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant of U.S. Facility Obligations or Canadian Facility Obligations that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.8 unless Loan Party Agent agrees otherwise in writing. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);providedthat no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

13.2.2Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Borrower Group Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, the U.S. Facility Revolver Commitment Termination Date or the Swingline Commitment Termination Date, as applicable, or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of

160

principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Loan Party, Guarantor or substantial portion of the Collateral.

13.2.3Benefit of Set-Off. Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 12.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.

13.3Assignments.

13.3.1Permitted Assignments. Subject to Section 13.3.3 below, a Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent) and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or Cdn$5,000,000, as applicable (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its discretion), and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or Cdn$1,000,000, as applicable, in excess of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least $5,000,000 or Cdn$5,000,000, as applicable (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its discretion); and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance.

13.3.3Certain Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to any Borrower, Affiliate of any Borrower, Defaulting Lender or natural person except as described inSchedule 13.3.3. In connection with any assignment by a Defaulting Lender, such assignment shall be effective only upon payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to the Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other compensating actions as the Agent deems appropriate), (a) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (b) to acquire its Pro Rata share of all Loans and LC Obligations. If an assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective under Applicable Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs.

13.3.4Replacement of Certain Lenders. If (x) a Lender (a) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, (b) is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or (y) if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.8, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Agent or Loan Party Agent may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees, pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptances, within 20 days after the notice. The Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents at par, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).

SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS

(f) without the prior written consent of the Super-Majority Lenders, no amendment or waiver shall be effective that would amend the definition of Excess Availability; and

163

(g) notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.1.1 to the contrary, if the Agent and the Loan Party Agent shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Agent and the Loan Party Agent shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Agent within ten Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

14.1.2Limitations. The agreement of Loan Parties shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, the Agent and/or any Fronting Bank as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letter or any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of such agreement, and any non-Lender that is a party to a Bank Product agreement shall have no right to participate in any manner in modification of any other Loan Document. The making of any Loans during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default, nor to establish a course of dealing. Any waiver or consent granted by the Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.

14.1.3Payment for Consents. After the Closing Date, no Loan Party will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

14.2Indemnity. IN ADDITION TO THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.8.2, EACH LOAN PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY LOAN PARTY OR OTHER PERSON OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, and no Loan Party shall have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee for disputes solely among Indemnitees and not relating to any act or omission of any Loan Party or its Affiliates (other than any action involving the Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Swingline Lender, in each case in its capacity as such, in which case this indemnity shall apply with respect to each such Person, as applicable, to the extent otherwise available).

14.3Notices and Communications.

14.3.1Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.4, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Loan Party, at Loan Party Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender

164

after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 14.3. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail (or, in the case of a Canadian Domiciled Loan Party, the Canadian mail system), with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.4, 2.2, 3.1.1, 3.1.2 or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Loan Party Agent shall be deemed received by all Loan Parties.

14.3.2Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Electronic mail and internet websites may be used only for routine communications, such as financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information required by Section 10.1.1, administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents for execution, and matters permitted under Section 4.1.3. The Agent and Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications. Electronic mail and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

14.3.3Non-Conforming Communications. The Agent and Lenders may rely upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party even if such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Loan Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party.

14.4Performance of Loan Parties’ Obligations. The Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Loan Parties of the applicable Loan Party Group, pay any amount or do any act required of a Loan Party under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by the Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of the Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of the Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be reimbursed to the Agent by Loan Parties, on demand, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable to U.S. Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

14.5Credit Inquiries. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Agent and Lenders (but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Loan Party or Subsidiary.

165

14.6Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

14.7Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

14.8Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when the Agent has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement.

14.9Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

14.10Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for the Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of the Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Credit Documents shall be deemed to constitute the Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Loan Party.

14.11No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Credit Document, Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Loan Parties and such Person; (ii) Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Loan Parties are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents; (b) each of the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, an will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Loan Parties, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be

166

engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Loan Parties and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Loan Parties or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

14.12Confidentiality. Each of the Agent, Lenders and each Fronting Bank shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (providedsuch Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same (or at least as restrictive) as this Section 14.12, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of Loan Party Agent; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 14.12 or (ii) is available to the Agent, any Lender, Fronting Bank or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Loan Parties or (i) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating any Borrower or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Loan Parties and a general description of Loan Parties’ businesses, and may use Loan Parties’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party or Subsidiary relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section 14.12 shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information. Each of the Agent, Lenders and each Fronting Bank acknowledges that (A) Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or Subsidiary; (B) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (C) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including federal, state, provincial and territorial securities laws.

14.13Certifications Regarding Indentures. Borrowers certify to the Agent and Lenders that neither the execution or performance of the Loan Documents nor the incurrence of any Obligations by Borrowers violates the Senior Secured Notes Indenture. Borrowers further certify that the Commitments and Obligations constitute Permitted Debt under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture. Agent may condition Borrowings, Letters of Credit and other credit accommodations under the Loan Documents from time to time upon Agent’s receipt of evidence that the Commitments and Obligations continue to constitute Permitted Debt at such time.

14.14GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE

167

LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW AND FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

14.15Consent to Forum.

14.15.1Forum. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 14.3.1. Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by the Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

14.16Waivers by Loan Parties.To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which the Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by the Agent on which a Loan Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything the Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing the Agent to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof.Each Loan Party acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to the Agent, each Fronting Bank and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that the Agent, each Fronting Bank and Lenders are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Loan Parties. Each Loan Party has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

14.17Patriot Act Notice. The Agent and Lenders hereby notify Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client”

168

policies, regulations, laws or rules (the Proceeds of Crime Act and such other applicable policies, regulations, laws or rules, collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow the Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act and the AML Legislation. The Agent and Lenders may require information regarding Loan Parties’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, in order to comply with the Patriot Act and/or the AML Legislation.

14.18Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Canadian Facility Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Canadian Facility Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Canadian Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Canadian Lender and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(b) shall provide to each Canadian Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Canadian Lenders agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Canadian Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Canadian Loan Parties on behalf of any Canadian Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Canadian Facility Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

14.19Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Loan Party’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

14.20Nonliability of Lenders. Neither the Agent, any Fronting Bank nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Loan Party to review or inform any Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Loan Party’s business or operations. Each Loan Party agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that neither the Agent, any Fronting Bank nor any Lender shall have liability to any Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or

169

otherwise) for losses suffered by any Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the party from which recovery is sought. NO LENDER 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.
