To the extent that a Consenting Term Loan Lender is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) any right, title, or interests in Claims or Interests (including Term Loan Claims) that the Qualified Marketmaker acquires from a holder of the Claims or Interests who is not a Consenting Term Loan Lender without the requirement that the transferee be a Permitted Transferee. A Consenting Term Loan Lender that is a Qualified Marketmaker with respect to the Term Loan Claims or Interests on or before the date hereof shall be a Consenting Term Loan Lender hereunder solely with respect to the Term Loan Claims listed on such signature pages and shall not be required to comply with this Agreement for any other Claims and/or Interests (including Term Loan Claims) it may hold from time to time in its role as a Qualified Marketmaker.

7.06.        The Company Parties understand that the Consenting Term Loan Lenders are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses, and, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Company Parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations set forth in this Agreement shall only apply to the trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) of the Consenting Term Loan Lender that principally manage and/or supervise the Consenting Term Loan Lender’s investment in the Company Parties, and shall not apply to any other trading desk or business group of the Consenting Term Loan Lender, so long as they are not acting at the direction or for the benefit of such Consenting Term Loan Lender or in connection with such Consenting Term Loan Lender’s investment in the Company Parties.

7.07.        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 7 shall not apply to the grant of any liens or encumbrances on any claims and interests in favor of a bank or broker-dealer holding custody of such claims and interests in the ordinary course of business and which lien or encumbrance is released upon the Transfer of such claims and interests.

No purported termination of this Agreement shall be effective under this Section 11.05 or otherwise if the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement is in material breach of this Agreement, except a termination pursuant to Section 11.02(b) or Section 11.02(d). Nothing in this Section 11.05 shall restrict any Company Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.02(b).

Section 12.            Amendments and Waivers.

(a)           This Agreement and any exhibits or schedules hereto (including but not limited to the Restructuring Term Sheet and the Definitive Documents) may not be modified, amended, or supplemented, and no condition or requirement of this Agreement may be waived, in any manner except in accordance with this Section 12.

(c)           Any proposed modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement that does not comply with this Section 12 shall be ineffective and void ab initio.

(d)           The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or any provision of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or remedy or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.

Section 13.            Miscellaneous.

13.01.      Acknowledgement.

13.04.      Complete Agreement.  Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, among the Parties with respect thereto, other than any Confidentiality Agreement.

13.05.      GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; SELECTION OF FORUM.  THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.  Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to jurisdiction in either a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State and County of New York, upon the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, each of the Parties hereby agrees that, if the Chapter 11 Cases are pending, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to waive, amend or modify the terms of any Confidentiality Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that any Consenting Term Loan Lender may trade in any debt or equity securities of any Company Parties without the consent of the Company or any Consenting Term Loan Lender, subject to Section 7 of this Agreement and applicable securities laws. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidence among or between any of the Consenting Term Loan Lenders, and/or the Company Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. The Parties have no agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any securities of any of the Company Parties and do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13d-5 promulgated thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt: (a) each Consenting Term Loan Lender is entering into this Agreement directly with the Company and not with any other Consenting Term Loan Lender; and (b) no Consenting Term Loan Lender shall, nor shall any action taken by a Consenting Term Loan Lender pursuant to this Agreement, be deemed to be acting in concert or as any group with any other Consenting Term Loan Lender with respect to the obligations under this Agreement nor shall this Agreement create a presumption that the Consenting Term Loan Lenders are in any way acting as a group. All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Consenting Term Loan Lender by the Company and vice versa, and the use of a single document is for the convenience of the Company. The decision to commit to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made independently.

13.24.      Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties shall claim or seek to recover from any other Party on the basis of anything in this Agreement any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages or damages for lost profits.

All Protective Advances shall be ABR Borrowings (in the case of Dollar denominated amounts) or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings (in the case of Canadian Dollar denominated amounts). The Applicable Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Applicable Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that the making of such U.S. Revolving Loan would not violate the Revolving Exposure Limitations and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the U.S. Revolving Lenders to make a U.S. Revolving Loan in Dollars to repay a U.S. Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the U.S. Revolving Lenders to fund in Dollars their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b). At any time the making of such Canadian Revolving Loan would not violate the Revolving Exposure Limitations and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Canadian Administrative Agent may request the Canadian Revolving Lenders to make a Canadian Revolving Loan to the applicable Borrower(s) in the currency in which any Canadian Protective Advance is denominated to repay such Canadian Protective Advance.

(b)                The Administrative Agent may by notice given not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the U.S. Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of any U.S. Protective Advance outstanding.

Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each such Protective Advance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Protective Advances pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including nonsatisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph). From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender has paid in full for its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Applicable Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance; provided that any such payment or proceeds so distributed shall be repaid to the Applicable Administrative Agent if and to the extent such payment or proceeds is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower(s) for any reason. The purchase of participations in any Protective Advance pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their respective obligations to repay such Protective Advance.

(a)                The Administrative Agent, the U.S. Swingline Lender and the U.S. Revolving Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after the Borrower Representative requests an ABR Revolving Borrowing under the U.S. Facility, the Swingline Lender may, in its discretion, elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing Request by advancing, on behalf of the U.S. Revolving Lenders and in the amount and on the date requested, same day funds to the U.S. Borrowers to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the U.S. Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a “U.S. Swingline Loan”), with settlement among the U.S. Swingline Lender and the other U.S. Revolving Lenders as to the U.S. Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(d).

The aggregate Dollar Equivalent of Canadian Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate Canadian Commitment in effect at such time. No Swingline Lender shall make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan would not comply with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. All Swingline Loans denominated in dollars shall be ABR Borrowings and all Canadian Swingline Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

(b)                Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation) make (i) in the case of the Administrative Agent, Loans to the U.S. Borrowers in Dollars on behalf of the U.S. Revolving Lenders (each such Loan, a “U.S. Overadvance”) or (ii) in the case of the Canadian Administrative Agent, Loans to the Canadian Borrower or the U.S. Borrowers in Canadian Dollars or Dollars on behalf of the Canadian Revolving Lenders (each such Loan, a “Canadian Overadvance”); provided that (1) the aggregate amount of outstanding U.S. Overadvances shall not, at any time, exceed (x) 5% of the total U.S. Commitment then in effect or (y) when aggregated with the aggregate outstanding amount of U.S. Protective Advances then outstanding, 7.5% of the total U.S. Commitment then in effect; provided further that no U.S. Overadvance shall be made if after giving effect thereto, the sum of any Lender’s U.S. Credit Exposure and Prepetition U.S. Credit Exposure shall exceed such Lender’s U.S. Commitment; and (2) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of outstanding Canadian Overadvances shall not, at any time, exceed (x) 5% of the total Canadian Commitment then in effect or (y) when aggregated with the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of Canadian Protective Advances shall not at any time exceed 7.5% of the Canadian Commitment then in effect; provided further that no Canadian Overadvance shall be made if after giving effect thereto, the sum of any Lender’s Canadian Credit Exposure and Prepetition Canadian Credit Exposure shall exceed such Lender’s Canadian Commitment. Overadvances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. All Overadvances denominated in dollars shall be ABR Borrowings and all Canadian Overadvances denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be Canadian Prime Rate Loans. The applicable Borrowers shall be required to repay each Overadvance no later than the 30th day after the date of the making thereof. The Applicable Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Overadvances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(c)                The U.S. Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent may by notice given not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the U.S. Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of any U.S. Swingline Loan or U.S. Overadvance, respectively, outstanding. The Canadian Administrative Agent may by notice given not later than 12:00 p.m. Toronto time, on any Business Day require the Canadian Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of any Canadian Swingline Loan and Canadian Overadvance outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loan or Overadvance, respectively, in which the Lenders will be required to participate, including the currency thereof, and each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Overadvance. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender or the account of the Applicable Administrative Agent, as applicable, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Overadvance.

From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender has paid in full for its participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance purchased hereunder, the applicable Swingline Lender or the Applicable Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Swingline Lender or the Applicable Administrative Agent, as applicable, in respect of such Swingline Loan or Overadvance; provided that any such payment or proceeds so distributed shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Applicable Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment or proceeds is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrowers of their obligation to repay such Swingline Loan or Overadvance.

(d)                The Applicable Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Revolving Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any earlier date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the applicable Revolving Lenders of such requested Settlement by electronic transmission, telephone, or e-mail no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”).

Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07.

(d)                Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) under any Facility and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders under such Facility, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender under such Facility, and each Lender under such Facility hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, (i) with respect to each U.S. Letter of Credit, each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) with respect to any Canadian Letters of Credit, each applicable Canadian Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay, in Dollars, to the Canadian Administrative Agent, in each case for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower(s) on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower(s) for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default, reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)                Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower(s) shall, following notice of such LC Disbursement to the Borrower Representative, reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Applicable Administrative Agent in Dollars an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower Representative shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Borrower(s)’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing, or, if the applicable Swingline Lender shall have elected to apply the terms of Section 2.05(a) to such requested Borrowing, the resulting Swingline Loan. If the applicable Borrower(s) fail to make such payment when due, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower(s) in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Revolving Lender shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent in Dollars its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower(s), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the applicable Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Applicable Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower(s) pursuant to this paragraph, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that any Revolving Lender has made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to each such Revolving Lender and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower(s) of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)                 Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Revolving Commitments or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. No Lender Party, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Borrower(s) to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower(s) that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (with such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)                Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative by telephone (confirmed by electronic transmission) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the applicable Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)                Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower(s) shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full in cash on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid Dollar Equivalent thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower(s) reimburse such LC Disbursement in full in cash, at the rate per annum then applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loans (if the LC Disbursement is in Cdn$) or ABR Revolving Loans (if the LC Disbursement is in US$); provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(f) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable Borrower(s) reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full in cash.

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

(j)                 Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, (i) the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “U.S. LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash in the currencies in which such LC Exposure is denominated equal to 103% of the LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of the U.S. Borrowers as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Canadian Lenders (the “Canadian LC Collateral Account”), an amount in the currencies in which such LC Exposure is denominated equal to 103% of the LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Canadian Borrower as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Such deposits, (A) if made into the U.S. LC Collateral Account shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the U.S. Obligations arising from LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of the U.S. Borrowers and (B) if made into the Canadian LC Collateral Account shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Canadian Obligations arising from LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issues for the account of the Canadian Borrower, in each case, as further set forth in the applicable Collateral Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such accounts. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the applicable Borrower(s)’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in each such account shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Collateral Documents, be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower(s) for the LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower(s) at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Required Lenders), be applied, in the case of moneys in the U.S. LC Collateral Account, to satisfy the Secured Obligation or, in the case of moneys in the Canadian LC Collateral Account, to satisfy the Canadian Secured Obligations, be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations (but subject to, in the case of any such application at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders that has not been reallocated to non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.20), the consent of each Issuing Bank). If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k)                Existing Letters of Credit. Each Existing Letter of Credit that is (i) a Canadian Letter of Credit (as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement) shall constitute a “Canadian Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued under this Agreement on the Effective Date and (ii) a U.S. Letter of Credit (as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement) shall constitute a “U.S. Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued under this Agreement on the Effective Date. All (i) Canadian LC Exposure (as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement) shall constitute “Canadian LC Exposure” for all purposes of this Agreement and (ii) U.S. LC Exposure (as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement) shall constitute “U.S. LC Exposure” for all purposes of this Agreement, and, in each case, no issuance or similar fees (as distinguished from ongoing participation or fronting fees) will be required in connection with the deemed issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit on the Effective Date.

(l)                 Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Applicable Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Applicable Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Applicable Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount and currency of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount and currency of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the applicable Borrower(s) fail to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount cue and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Applicable Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(m)              LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.

(n)                Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the U.S. Borrowers (in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of the U.S. Borrowers) or the Canadian Borrower (in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Canadian Borrower) shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit requested by such Borrower for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.07               Funding of Borrowings.

(a)                Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Applicable Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Revolving Lenders. The Applicable Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower(s) by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s); provided that (I) ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Applicable Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a U.S. Protective Advance or US. Overadvance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and (II) ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) a Canadian LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(f) shall be remitted by the Canadian Administrative Agent to the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank and (ii) a Canadian Protective Advance or Canadian Overadvance shall be retained by the Canadian Administrative Agent.

(b)                Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower(s) a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower(s) severally agree to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower(s) to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (in the case of Dollar-denominated amounts) or the Canadian Prime Rate (in the case of Canadian Dollar-denominated amounts) and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans and in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, the interest rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans. If the applicable Borrower(s) and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower(s) the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower(s) pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower(s) may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.08               Interest Elections.

(a)                Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)                To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify (i) the Administrative Agent with respect to each U.S. Revolving Borrowing and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), with respect to each Canadian Revolving Borrowing, in each case of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Canadian Revolving Borrowing, the Canadian Administrative Agent) of an executed written Interest Election Request. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

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

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

(iii)               whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurodollar Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing; and

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

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, or 30 days, in the case of a CDOR Rate Borrowing.

(c)                Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(d)                If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a CDOR Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) unless repaid, each CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.09               Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments.

(a)                Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Maturity Date, or any earlier date on which the Revolving Commitments are reduced to zero or otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b)                The Borrower Representative may at any time terminate the Commitments under the U.S. Facility and/or the Canadian Facility upon (i) the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any LC Disbursements, in each case, under the applicable Facility, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, (x) the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a backup standby letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) equal to 103% of the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to all Letters of Credit, as determined by the applicable Issuing Banks) or (y) such other alternative arrangement with respect to any such Letters of Credit that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank), and such cash deposit shall not be subject to or subordinate to the Carve-Out or the Canadian DIP Charge, (iii) the payment in full in cash of all accrued and unpaid fees owing in respect of such Facility and (iv) the payment in full in cash of all reimbursable expenses and all other Obligations outstanding at such time in respect of such Facility; provided that, upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this clause (b), all obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to provide the credit facility to the Borrowers described in the Exit Facility Term Sheet and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under Section 2.23 shall automatically terminate without any further consent or action required by any Person.

(c)                The Borrower Representative may from time to time reduce the Commitments under the U.S. Facility and/or the Canadian Facility; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower Representative shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments under any Facility if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations.

(d)                The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders under such Facility in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments thereunder.

SECTION 2.10               Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)                The U.S. Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally promise to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent, for the account of each U.S. Revolving Lender the principal amount of all outstanding U.S. Revolving Loans, (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of each Canadian Revolving Lender the principal amount of all outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrowers, (iii) the Applicable Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance to the U.S. Borrowers and Overadvance to the U.S. Borrowers, (iv) the U.S. Swingline Lender, the principal amount of each U.S. Swingline Loan and (v) the Canadian Swingline Lender, the principal amount of each Canadian Swingline Loan to the U.S. Borrowers, in each case, on the earliest of (A) the Maturity Date, (B) in the case of any Overadvance, the earlier of the 60th day after the date of the making thereof and demand by the Administrative Agent and (C) in the case of any Protective Advance, demand by the Administrative Agent.

(f)                 Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.11               Prepayment of Loans.

(a)                The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that, any such prepayments shall be applied, first, to the Prepetition Revolving Loans and/or Prepetition Swingline Loans then outstanding (in the order and manner provided in the Prepetition Credit Agreement) and then to the Revolving Loans.

(b)                Except to the extent such excess arises from Protective Advances permitted under Section 2.04 or Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05, in the event and on each occasion that the Borrowers are not in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations, the Canadian Borrower and the U.S. Borrowers shall immediately and severally prepay first, the Prepetition Revolving Loans and/or Prepetition Swingline Loans then outstanding (in the order and in the manner provided in the Prepetition Credit Agreement) and, second, the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.06(j)) of such Borrower(s) in an aggregate amount that, after giving effect to such prepayments or cash collateralizations the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations.

(c)                Subject to the priority of Liens and application of funds set forth in the Orders with respect to the Collateral that is sold pursuant to an Asset Sale, in the event and on each occasion that (i) any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Parent or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event and (ii) the Loan Parties receive designated “restricted cash” in accordance with the milestones set forth in Section 5.21(e), the Borrowers shall, on each day such Net Proceeds and designated “restricted cash” are received, prepay Borrowings in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds or such designated “restricted cash” (without a reduction in Revolving Commitments); provided that in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clauses (a), (b) or (d) of the definition thereof, any Net Proceeds in respect of Term Priority Collateral received by the Borrowers as a result of such Prepayment Event shall be applied (A) unless waived in accordance with the Term Credit Agreement or as provided in the Orders, first, to the “Obligations” under and as defined in the Term Credit Agreement, until paid in full, and (B) second, as set forth in Section 2.11(d) below.

Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar quarter shall be payable on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Banks pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c)                The U.S. Borrowers agree to pay to the fees in the amounts and payable at the times separately agreed upon in the Fee Letters or as otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(d)                All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Applicable Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (absent manifest error in the amount paid).

SECTION 2.13               Interest.

(a)                The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan, but excluding Protective Advances and Overadvances) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)                The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c)                The Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(d)                The Loans comprising each CDOR Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the CDOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(e)                Each (i) U.S. Protective Advance and U.S. Overadvance shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR Revolving Loans plus 2% per annum and each Canadian Protective Advance and Canadian Overadvance shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Canadian Prime Rate Loans plus 2% per annum.

(f)                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, (i) all past due amounts in respect of the principal of any Loan shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount that is past due, such amount shall bear interest at 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans hereunder (or, in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans hereunder).

(g)                Accrued interest on each Loan (for ABR Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar quarter) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan or CDOR Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(h)                All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate or the CDOR Rate shall be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(j)                 Limitation on Interest. If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate 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 Lenders of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lenders under this Section 2.13, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lenders shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Lenders in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Lenders to the Borrowers. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.13(j) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan 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 Effective Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

SECTION 2.14               Alternate Rate of Interest; Illegality. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing:

(i) the Applicable Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the CDOR Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate or because the LIBO Screen Rate or the CDOR Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; or

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

then the Applicable Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders through the Platform as provided in Section 9.01 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Applicable Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notification shall be made promptly after the Applicable Administrative Agent obtains knowledge of the cessation of such circumstances), (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, and any such Revolving Borrowing shall be repaid or converted into an ABR Borrowing or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, as applicable, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, respectively.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any Eurodollar Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, 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, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings or to convert Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings to CDOR Rate Borrowings will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), either prepay all Eurodollar Borrowings and CDOR Rate Borrowings of such Lender or convert all Eurodollar Borrowings and CDOR Rate Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings and Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings, respectively, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings or CDOR Rate Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such conversion or prepayment, the Borrowers will also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted or prepaid.

(c) If at any time (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the circumstances set forth with respect to the Adjusted LIBO Rate in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (A) shall endeavor to establish an alternate benchmark rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time (which may include a margin to be applied thereto); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement, and (B) shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement, at no cost to the Loan Parties other than the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent’s costs and expenses as contemplated by Section 9.03 of this Agreement, to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided, that any such amendment shall meet the standards set forth in Proposed United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.1001-6 or any amended, temporary or final version thereof so as not to be treated as a “modification” (and therefore an exchange) for purpose of United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.1001-3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(c), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15               Increased Costs.

(a)                If any Change in Law shall:

(i)               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 such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank;

(ii)               impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market or Canadian interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii)               subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than any (A) Indemnified Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes) on or with respect to its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the applicable Borrower(s) will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered.

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

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

(d)                Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e)                Notwithstanding the above, a Lender will not be entitled to demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction set forth in this Section 2.15 at any time if it is not the general practice and policy of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances under agreements containing provisions permitting such compensation to be claimed at such time.

SECTION 2.16               Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding any loss of margin) attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or CDOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate such Lender would bid if it were to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market or CDOR Rate market, as applicable. A certificate of any Lender delivered to the Borrower Representative and setting forth and explaining in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower(s) shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17               Taxes.

(a)                Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any applicable withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of payments made to any Administrative Agent for its own account, such Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)                Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Applicable Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)                Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such^-payment reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent.

(d)                Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The applicable Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) payable or paid by such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), or by the Applicable Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)                Status of Recipients.  

(i)               Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)               Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)       any Lender to a U.S. Borrower that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), two executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;

(B)       any Foreign Lender to a U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient):

(1)       executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(2)       executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);

(3)       in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any U.S. Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments in connection with any Loan Document are effectively connected with the Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms); or

(4)       to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)       any Foreign Lender to a U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)       if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agents at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agents such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agents as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agents to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA and to determine, if any, the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(E)       Any Lender to the Canadian Borrower shall deliver to the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Canadian Borrower or the Canadian Administrative Agent), (1) two executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding or (2) two executed originals of an applicable IRS Form W-8 certifying such Lender’s non-U.S. status.

(F)       Each Agent that is a U.S. Person, on or before the date on which it (and any successor or replacement Administrative Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agents two executed copies of either (i) IRS Form W-9, or (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and IRS Form W-8IMY (for all other payments), establishing that the Borrower can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States, including Taxes imposed under FATCA.

Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered (including any specific documentation required in this Section 2.17(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall deliver promptly to the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably request by the Borrower or the Applicable Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Applicable Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any other successor Applicable Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17(e).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17(e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f)                 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.17 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.17 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g)                Defined Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(h)                For purposes of FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agents shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agents to treat) this Agreement and any Loans made hereunder (including any Loans already outstanding) as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

SECTION 2.18               Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)                The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder or under any other Loan Document on or prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment or, if no such time is expressly required, on or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. All payments (i) in respect of any Loan (and interest thereon) shall be made in the same currency in which such Loan was made and (ii) in respect of all fees, in respect of reimbursement of LC Disbursements and in respect of any other amounts payable hereunder or under other Loan Documents shall be paid in Dollars. All such payments in respect of Revolving Loans and LC Exposure under any Facility shall be made and allocated, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans and the LC Exposure of each Lender under such Facility. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street, 22nd Floor, Chicago, Illinois, except that (i) payments required to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be so made and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein and (ii) payments of Canadian Loans and LC Disbursements or fronting fees that are payable to any Canadian Issuing Bank, shall be made to the Canadian Administrative Agent at its offices at Suite 4500, 66 Wellington St., W. Toronto, ON M5K 1A1 Canada. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b)                (i) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower Representative), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be applied from a Concentration Account (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably first, to permanently reduce the fees, interest and principal in respect of the Prepetition Lender Obligations then outstanding (if any) constituting fees, interest and principal in accordance with Section 2.18(b) of the Prepetition Credit Agreement, until paid in full in cash, second to permanently reduce the other Prepetition Lender Obligations then outstanding (if any) in accordance with Section 2.18(b) of the Prepetition Credit Agreement until paid in full in cash, third, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations); fourth, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations); fifth, to pay interest due in respect of the Protective Advances and Overadvances; sixth, to pay the principal of the Protective Advances and Overadvances; seventh, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances and Overadvances) ratably; eighth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances and Overadvances) and unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably; ninth, to deposit in the U.S. LC Collateral Account and the Canadian LC Collateral Account cash collateral (in accordance with 2.06(j)); tenth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services (other than supply chain financing) and Swap Obligations; eleventh, to the payment of any other Secured Obligations due to any Lender Party by the Borrowers; twelfth, to the payment of amounts owing with respect to Banking Services comprising supply chain financing and thirteenth any excess to be returned to Borrower Representative to be used in accordance with the Approved Budget. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless a Default is in existence, no Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan or ABR Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or ABR Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, respectively and, in any such event, the applicable Borrower(s) shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16.

(c)                All payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursements of fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents or in respect of the Prepetition Lender Obligations may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder, whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Applicable Administrative Agent to request a Borrowing on its behalf for the purpose of paying each payment referred to in the preceding sentence and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, and (ii) the Applicable Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower (other than, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, any Excluded Account; provided that in no event shall this clause (ii) permit any payroll, trust or tax account to be charged) maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest, fees or any other amount due under the Loan Documents or in respect of the Prepetition Lender Obligations referred to in the previous sentence.

(d)                If any Lender under any Facility shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances or Overadvances under such Facility resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances or Overadvances and accrued interest thereon under such Facility than the proportion received by any other Lender under such Facility, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Applicable Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and Overadvances of other Lenders under such Facility to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders under such Facility ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and Overadvances under such Facility; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances or Overadvances to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined from time to time). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. For purposes of subclause (b)(i) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.18(d) shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) and/or Loan(s) to which such participation relates.

(e)                Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of any of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the applicable Borrower(s) will not make such payment, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower(s) have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower(s) have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to each Applicable Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by each Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f)                 If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Applicable Administrative Agent, then the Applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and apply any such amounts to, any future payment obligations of such Lender hereunder to or for the account of the Applicable Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.19               Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders.

(a)                If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The applicable Borrower(s) hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.

(b)                If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower Representative may, at the sole expense and effort of the applicable Borrower(s), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (i) the Borrower Representative shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and Overadvances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower(s) (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) such assignment and delegation does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower(s) to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (subject to any required consents referred to above) and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.20               Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender under any Facility:

(a)                 commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender of such Facility pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b)                 the Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or all affected Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c)                 if any Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure, Protective Advance Exposure and Overadvance Exposure exists under any Facility under which such Lender has a Revolving Commitment at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(i)               such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.05(c)), LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.06(d)), Protective Advance Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.04(b)) and Overadvance Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.05(c)) under such Facility shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures under such Facility plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposures under such Facility, LC Exposure under such Facility, Protective Advance Exposure under such Facility and Overadvance Exposure under such Facility does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments under such Facility;

(ii)              if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower(s) shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender, (A) first, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Overadvance Exposure under such Facility that has not been so reallocated, (B) second, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Protective Advance Exposure under such Facility that has not been so reallocated, (C) third, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure under such Facility that has not been so reallocated and (D) fourth, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure under such Facility that has not been so reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)              if any Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the applicable Borrower(s) shall not be required to pay any letter of credit participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s cash collateralized LC Exposure under such Facility during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure under such Facility is cash collateralized;

(iv)              if any portion of the LC Exposure under such Facility of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (c)(i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; or

(v)               if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure under such Facility is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clause (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit participation fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure under such Facility shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure under such Facility attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(d)                the Swingline Lender under such Facility shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank under such Facility shall be required to issue, amend, renew, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, in each case, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrowers in accordance with clause (c) of this Section, and participating interests in any such newly issued, amended, renewed, extended or increased Letter of Credit under such Facility or newly made Swingline Loan under such Facility shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (c)(i) of this Section (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

In the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent, Parent, each of the Issuing Banks and each of the Swingline Lenders agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure, Protective Advance Exposure and Overadvance Exposure of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment under the applicable Facility and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders under such Facility as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold Revolving Loans under such Facility in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to each Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

SECTION 2.21               Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, any Lender Party is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside or determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender. The provisions of this Section shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.22               Super-Priority Nature of Obligations and Administrative Agent’s Liens; Payment of Obligations.

(a)                The priority of Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral, claims and other interests shall be as set forth in the Interim Order, the Canadian Recognition Order (in the case of the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower, such claim shall be a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully-perfected superpriority (subject only to the Canadian Administration Charge) senior priming charge, security interest in and lien upon all property of the Canadian Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter acquired (the “Canadian DIP Charge”)) and the Final Order.

(b)                Upon the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of any of the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Secured Obligations without further application to or order of the Court.

SECTION 2.23               Conversion to Exit Facility Agreement. Upon the satisfaction or waiver by the Administrative Agents and each Lender of each of the conditions precedent to the Conversion Date set forth in the section entitled “Conditions Precedent to Conversion Date” in the Exit Facility Term Sheet on or prior to the Maturity Date, automatically and without any further consent or action required by the Administrative Agents, any Lender, or any other Lender Party, (i) the Borrowers (or the entities assuming and/or acquiring directly or indirectly the operations and assets of the Borrowers in the Acceptable Plan, and each Loan Guarantor and each entity assuming the operations and assets of each Loan Guarantor that is a Debtor in the Acceptable Plan, to the extent such Person is required under the Exit Facility Term Sheet to continue to be a guarantor thereunder), shall assume all obligations in respect of the Revolving Commitments, Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder and all other monetary obligations in respect hereof, (ii) each Loan and Letter of Credit hereunder shall be continued as a Loan or Letter of Credit under the Exit Facility Agreement, (iii) each Lender hereunder shall be a Lender under the Exit Facility Agreement and (iv) this Agreement shall terminate and be superseded and replaced in its entirety by, and deemed amended and restated in its entirety in the form of, the Exit Facility Agreement (with such changes and insertions thereto, as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents and the Borrower, incorporated as necessary to make any technical changes necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 2.23), and each of the Revolving Commitments hereunder shall automatically be Revolving Commitments under the Exit Facility Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all obligations of the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors to the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other Loan Document which are expressly stated in this Agreement or such other Loan Document as surviving such agreement’s termination shall, as so specified, survive without prejudice and remain in full force and effect. Each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall take such actions and execute and deliver such agreements, instruments or other documents as the Administrative Agents may reasonably request to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.23 and as are required to complete the schedules to the Exit Facility Agreement or other agreements contemplated thereby; provided, however, that any such action by the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks shall not be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Exit Facility Agreement if and to the extent so provided in the Confirmation Order. Each Lender and Issuing Bank party hereto hereby agrees that, on the Conversion Date, the Administrative Agents may execute and deliver the security documents and intercreditor agreement contemplated by the Exit Facility Term Sheet.

Except as set forth in Section 3.12 of the Disclosure Letter, as of the Effective Date, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which Parent or any Subsidiary is a party requiring, and there are no Equity Interests in any Subsidiary outstanding that upon exercise, conversion or exchange would require, the issuance by any Subsidiary of any additional Equity Interests or other securities exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase any Equity Interests in any Subsidiary.

It is agreed and understood that the Administrative Agent may not charge default interest pursuant to this Agreement during such time as the occurrence of such Event of Default is being contested during the Remedies Notice Period but once determined that such Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may charge default interest pursuant to this Agreement retroactively to cover the period from which the Event of Default exists through the date of determination.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agents

Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and, as applicable, the Canadian Administrative Agent and their respective successors to serve in such capacities under the Loan Documents (and in the case of the Administrative Agent, to serve as collateral agent), and authorizes each such Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to consent, on behalf of each Lender, to the Interim Order, the Final Order and the Canadian Recognition Order, each to be negotiated between the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, certain other parties and the statutory committees appointed pursuant to Sections 327 and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable.

For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, for the purposes of holding any security granted by any Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec, each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the hypothecary representative (in such capacity, the "Hypothecary Representative") of the Lender Parties, as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec. The Hypothecary Representative shall (i) have exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Hypothecary Representative pursuant to any hypothec, (ii) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent, mutatis mutandis, including without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lender Parties, (iii) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec, on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Lender Party shall be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Hypothecary Representative as the hypothecary representative and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender Party, all actions taken by the Hypothecary Representative in such capacity. The substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII hereto shall also constitute the substation of the Hypothecary Representative.

Each bank serving as the Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

Neither of the Administrative Agents shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither of the Administrative Agents shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties), (b) neither of the Administrative Agents shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Applicable Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Applicable Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that the Applicable Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose such Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither of the Administrative Agents shall have any duty to disclose and shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by such bank serving as Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity. Neither of the Administrative Agents shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Applicable Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). Neither of the Administrative Agents shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the such Person by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and such Person shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Applicable Administrative Agent.

Each of the Administrative Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). Each of the Administrative Agents also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Applicable Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless such Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each of the Administrative Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each of the Administrative Agents may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Person. Each of the Administrative Agents and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as each of the Administrative Agents. Neither of the Administrative Agents shall be responsible for the bad faith, negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, each of the Administrative Agents may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor that is an Eligible Successor Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, which is an Eligible Successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After an Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, resigns hereunder, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Person, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

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

The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may prepare and distribute to the Lenders Reports containing information obtained by the Administrative Agent through the exercise of its inspection rights under Section 5.09. Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

To the extent required by any applicable laws (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agents), the Administrative Agents may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agents against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agents) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agents by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agents to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agents of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agents shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agents under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agents, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of each of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrowers’ rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each Lender Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Loan Guarantee provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Arrangers, any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Co-Syndication Agent or a Co-Documentation Agent and the Debtors’ Investment Banker shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities to the extent referenced and provided for hereunder.

(b)                Notices and other communications to the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices under Article II to any Lender or Issuing Bank if such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.

No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by either of the Administrative Agents or any of their Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform.

SECTION 9.02               Waivers; Amendments.

(a)                No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)                Except as provided in Sections 5.16, 9.02(e) and 9.18 (and, except as specifically provided in any Loan Document with respect to the Schedule thereto), and subject to Section 2.14(c), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent (if a party to the original agreement), the Canadian Administrative Agent (if a party to the original agreement) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that (A) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent to cure any technical error, ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment and (B) no such agreement shall (1) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (provided that the Applicable Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances and Overadvances as set forth in Section 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable), (2) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (3) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (4) change Section 2.18(b) or 2.18(d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (5) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of U.S. Borrowing Base or Canadian Borrowing Base or add new categories of eligible assets, without the written consent of the each Lender, (6) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (7) change Section 2.20 without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) adversely affected thereby, (8) release all or substantially all of the value of the Loan Guarantee (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (9) except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank).

(c)                The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, (i) to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (A) upon the termination of (x) all the Revolving Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit in a manner satisfactory to each applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and (y) solely in the case of the Canadian Collateral, upon termination in full of all the Canadian Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Canadian Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the cash collateralization of all Canadian Letters of Credit in a manner satisfactory to each applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, (B) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of a Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guarantee provided by such Subsidiary, (C) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction not prohibited under this Agreement, (D) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII and (E) constituting property of a Loan Guarantor that is being released as a Loan Guarantor (and, in the case of a U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, as a U.S. Subsidiary Borrower) as provided below and (ii) to release any Loan Guarantee provided by any U.S. Subsidiary Borrower or Canadian Loan Party that is (A) dissolved pursuant to Section 6.03(a)(iv) in connection with a voluntary liquidation or dissolution thereof permitted by such Section, (B) upon the disposition of all of the outstanding Equity Interests of a Subsidiary of the Borrower (other than the Canadian Borrower) to a Person other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05, (C) [reserved] or (D) in the case of the Canadian Loan Parties, upon any release of all the Canadian Collateral pursuant to clause (i)(A) above and, in connection therewith, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by such Subsidiary on any Collateral, if the U.S. Borrower certifies to the Administrative Agent that such liquidation or dissolution is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby further irrevocably authorize the release or subordination of Liens on the Term Priority Collateral as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement. Any such release or subordination shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d)                If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consents of Lenders having Credit Exposure and unused Revolving Commitments representing more than 66% of the sum of the total Credit Exposure and unused Revolving Commitments at such time are obtained, but the consents of other necessary Lenders are not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower Representative may elect to replace any Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) an Eligible Assignee which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the applicable Borrower(s) shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by such Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

(e)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, Exhibit G to this Agreement, the definitions of “Exit Facility Agreement” and “Exit Facility Term Sheet” and Section 2.23 (or any other provision which would result in an amendment, restatement, waiver or modification of any of the foregoing) may be amended, restated, waived or otherwise modified with the prior written consent of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative; provided that the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the transaction contemplated by Section 2.23 and such other technical or immaterial amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative in connection therewith.

SECTION 9.03               Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)                The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary U.S. and one primary Canadian counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates, and if deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.09, expenses subject to reimbursement by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i)               insurance reviews;

(ii)              [reserved];

(iii)             taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien searches and (B) filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative Agent’s Liens;

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

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

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the applicable Borrower(s) as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c).

(b)                The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Canadian Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) syndication of the credit facility provided for herein and the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on at, under, to or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether such proceeding is initiated against or by any party to this Agreement, or any Affiliate thereof, by an Indemnitee or any third party or whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) have arisen from a proceeding by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee not involving any act or omission of the Parent or any Subsidiary (other than a proceeding against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or an Issuing Bank in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as such). This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply to any Taxes (other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim).

(c)                To the extent the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Canadian Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent), the Canadian Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Canadian Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity.

(d)                To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e)                All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04               Successors and Assigns.

(a)                The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Debtors’ Investment Banker (to the extent provided in Article VIII), the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Related Parties of any of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(A)       the Borrower Representative; provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under clause (a) or (b) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided further that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B)       the Administrative Agent;

(C)       the Swingline Lender under any Facility under which a Revolving Commitment is being assigned; and

(D)       each Issuing Bank under any Facility under which a Revolving Commitment is being assigned.

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

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

(B)       each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C)       the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(D)       the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all lender-group-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the U.S. Borrower, the Subsidiaries and other Affiliates thereof or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including federal, state, provincial, territorial and foreign securities laws.

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

(iv)       The Applicable Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time under each Facility (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

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

(c)                (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(e) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)       Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register for the recordation of the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loan 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 the Borrower 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agents (in their capacity as Administrative Agents) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)                Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

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

SECTION 9.06               Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent 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. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic transmission or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

SECTION 9.08               Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, without any application, motion or notice to, hearing before, or order from, the Court) at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than payroll, trust and tax accounts) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of such setoff or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09               Governing Law: Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)                EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUPERSEDED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS; PROVIDED THAT APPOINTMENT OF THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS FONDÉ DE POUVOIR IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE VIII SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.

(b)                Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Court or the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought by it or any of its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, in the Court, such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

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

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

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

SECTION 9.12               Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than a commercially reasonable degree of care, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or its obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Borrower Representative, or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of clause (c) above, the party disclosing such information shall provide to the Borrower Representative prior written notice of such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law (and to the extent commercially feasible under the circumstances) and shall cooperate with the Borrower Representative, at the Borrower Representative’s sole expense, in obtaining a protective order for, or other confidential treatment of, such disclosure, in each case at the Borrower Representative’s sole expense. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to Parent or any Subsidiary or their businesses or the Collateral, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING PARENT, THE SUBSIDIARIES AND ITS OTHER AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LENDER-GROUP-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING PARENT, THE SUBSIDIARIES AND ITS OTHER AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN SUCH MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SECTION 9.13               Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of applicable law.

SECTION 9.14               USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.15               Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, the PPSA or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 9.16               Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.17               No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries and their other respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries and their other respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries or their other respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby agrees not to assert any claims against the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates based on any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.18               Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledge that the obligations of the U.S. Borrowers under the Term Credit Agreement are secured by Liens on assets of the U.S. Borrowers that constitute Collateral and that the relative Lien priority and other creditor rights of the Lender Parties hereunder and the secured parties under the Term Credit Agreement will be set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Intercreditor Acknowledgment. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably (a) consents to the subordination of the Liens on the Term Priority Collateral securing the Secured Obligations on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Acknowledgment and any documents relating thereto, in each case on behalf of such Lender or Issuing Bank and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender or Issuing Bank, (c) agrees that, upon the execution and delivery thereof, such Lender or Issuing Bank will be bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (d) agrees that no Lender or Issuing Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby further irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent (i) to take such actions as shall be required to release Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) to enter into such amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Intercreditor Acknowledgment in connection with any extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of any Secured Obligations or the Term Credit Agreement as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to give effect thereto, in each case on behalf of such Lender or Issuing Bank and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender or Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Article VIII with respect to all actions taken by it pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to the full extent thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the secured parties under the Term Credit Agreement to extend credit to the U.S. Borrowers and such secured parties are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions.

SECTION 9.19               [Reserved.]

SECTION 9.20               Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(a)                Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws in each relevant jurisdiction (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers and the transactions contemplated hereby. 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, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b)                If the Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of such Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent:

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

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

(c)                Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent have any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

SECTION 9.21               Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Loan Party agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in any Second Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Administrative Agent receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased, or that could have been so purchased, is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency after any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase, each Loan Party agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Administrative Agent against such loss.

SECTION 9.22               Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any Loan Party has, or hereafter may be entitled to claim or may acquire, for itself, any Collateral or other assets of the Loan Parties, any immunity (whether sovereign or otherwise) from suit, jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to itself, any Collateral or any other assets of the Loan Parties, such Loan Party hereby waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder and under any promissory notes evidencing the Loans hereunder and any other Loan Document to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section shall be effective to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (as amended, and together with any successor legislation) and are, and are intended to be, irrevocable for purposes thereof.

SECTION 9.23               Process Agent. Each Canadian Loan Party hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Borrower Representative, in the case of any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering a copy of such process to such Canadian Loan Party in care of the Borrower Representative at the Borrower Representative’s address set forth in Section 9.01, and each such Canadian Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Borrower Representative to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, each Canadian Loan Party irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to the Borrower Representative or such Canadian Loan Party at its address specified in Section 9.01. Each Canadian Loan Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

SECTION 9.24               Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any related agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any party to any other party under or in connection with the Loan Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:

(a)                any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):

(i)               a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;

(ii)               a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and

(iii)               a cancellation of any such liability; and

(b)                a variation of any term of any Loan Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.

ARTICLE X

Loan Guarantee

SECTION 10.01           Guarantee. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Lender Parties the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, being collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Borrower and each other Loan Party further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Guarantee apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender or Issuing Bank that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

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

SECTION 10.03           No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee.

(a)                Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Borrower and each other Loan Party hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transaction.

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

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

SECTION 10.04           Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or such other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower and each other Loan Party irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party or any other Person. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Borrower or such other Loan Party under this Guarantee except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower and each other Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Borrower or of any other Loan Party against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05           Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Party will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any Collateral, until the Loan Parties have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the other Lender Parties.

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

SECTION 10.07           Information. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the other Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Borrower assumes and incurs under this Guarantee, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Borrower of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08           Taxes. The provisions of Section 2.17 shall apply mutatis mutandis to all payments by the Borrowers of the Guaranteed Obligations.

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

SECTION 10.10           Contribution. In the event any Borrower (a “Paying Borrower”) shall make any payment or payments under this Guarantee or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Guarantee, each other Borrower (each a “Non-Paying Borrower”) shall contribute to such Paying Borrower an amount equal to such Non-Paying Borrower’s Applicable Share of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Borrower. For purposes of this Section, each Non-Paying Borrower’s “Applicable Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Borrower shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (a) such Non-Paying Borrower’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Borrower’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Borrower from the other Borrowers after the Effective Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (b) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Borrowers hereunder (including such Paying Borrower) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Borrower, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Borrowers from the other Borrowers after the Effective Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Borrower’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Borrower’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Borrowers covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Guarantee from a Non-Paying Borrower shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Borrowers and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

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

The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XII. Additionally, the Borrowers hereby appoint the Borrower Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans in the Funding Account(s), at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the appropriate Borrower. The Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and their respective Related Parties, shall not be liable to the Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 12.02           Powers.  The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative.

SECTION 12.03          Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through authorized officers.

SECTION 12.04           Notices. Each Borrower shall immediately notify the Borrower Representative of the occurrence of any Default hereunder referring to this Agreement describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Borrower Representative receives such a notice, the Borrower Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by the Borrower Representative.
