THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of August 4, 2011, by and among the lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (each of such lenders, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter as a “Lender”, as that term is hereinafter further defined), WELLS FARGO CAPITAL FINANCE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as an administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “US Agent”), WELLS FARGO CAPITAL FINANCE CORPORATION CANADA, an Ontario corporation, as an administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Canadian Agent”), COLEMAN CABLE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Coleman Cable”), TECHNOLOGY RESOURCE CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (“TRC”; together with Coleman, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “US Borrower”, and individually and collectively, jointly and severally, as the “US Borrowers”), WOODS INDUSTRIES (CANADA) INC., an Ontario corporation (“Canadian Borrower”; together with the US Borrowers, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Borrower”, and individually and collectively, jointly and severally, as the “Borrowers”).

The Original Credit Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 2, 2007 (the “Existing Closing Date “) (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) among Coleman Cable, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as Administrative Agent, and certain lenders. The parties to the Existing Credit Agreement desire to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety pursuant to this Agreement and to add TRC and Canadian Borrower as a Borrower.

The parties agree as follows:

1.	DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

1.1. Definitions.

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1.

1.2. Accounting Terms.

All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that if Administrative Borrower notifies Agents that Borrowers request an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the

operation of such provision (or if an Agent notifies Administrative Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Agents and Borrowers agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lenders and Borrowers after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions as of the date of this Agreement and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon and agreed to by the Required Lenders and Borrowers, the provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term “Coleman Cable” is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean Coleman Cable and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

1.3. Code; PPSA.

Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in (a) the Code shall be construed and defined as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein; provided, however, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 of the Code shall govern and (b) the PPSA shall be construed and defined as set forth in the PPSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and where the context so requires, (i) any term defined in this Agreement by reference to the “Code”, the “UCC” or the “Uniform Commercial Code” shall also have any extended, alternative or analogous meaning given to such term in applicable Canadian personal property security and other laws (including, without limitation, the Personal Property Security Act of each applicable province of Canada, the Bills of Exchange Act (Canada) and the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada)), in all cases for the extension, preservation or betterment of the security and rights of the Collateral, (ii) all references in this Agreement to “Article 8” shall be deemed to refer also to applicable Canadian securities transfer laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Transfer Act, 2006 (Ontario) (the “STA”), (iii) all references in this Agreement to a financing statement, continuation statement, amendment or termination statement shall be deemed to refer also to the analogous documents used under applicable Canadian personal property security laws, (v) all references to the United States of America, or to any subdivision, department, agency or instrumentality thereof shall be deemed to refer also to Canada, or to any subdivision, department, agency or instrumentality thereof, and (vi) all references to federal or state securities law of the United States shall be deemed to refer also to analogous federal and provincial securities laws in Canada.

1.4. Construction.

Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this

-2-

Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties. Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment in full in cash or immediately available funds (or, (a) in the case of contingent reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, providing Letter of Credit Collateralization, and (b) in the case of obligations with respect to Bank Products (other than Hedge Obligations), providing Bank Product Collateralization) of all of the Obligations (including the payment of any Lender Group Expenses that have accrued irrespective of whether demand has been made therefor and the payment of any termination amount then applicable (or which would or could become applicable as a result of the repayment of the other Obligations) under Hedge Agreements provided by Hedge Providers) other than (i) unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations, (ii) any Bank Product Obligations (other than Hedge Obligations) that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Bank Product Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid or cash collateralized, and (iii) any Hedge Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Hedge Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record.

1.5. Schedules and Exhibits.

All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

1.6. Effect of Amendment and Restatement; No Novation.

Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement. The Existing Obligations shall continue in full force and effect, and the effectiveness of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation or repayment of the Existing Obligations. Such Existing Obligations, together with any and all additional Obligations incurred by Borrowers under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, shall continue to be secured by, among other things, the Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter acquired and wheresoever located, all in accordance with the terms of and as more specifically set forth in the Loan Documents. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Pro Rata Shares for each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule C-1. To effectuate the foregoing, Wells Fargo (which has acquired all of the interests of the Lenders (other than Bank of America, N.A.) under the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement) hereby sells and assigns to each of the other Lenders, and each of the other Lenders hereby purchases, a portion of the Commitments and Obligations, as applicable, such that the Pro Rata Share of each Lender is as set forth on Schedule C-1. Each such purchase and sale is made without recourse, representation or warranty except as expressly set forth herein. Wells Fargo (i) represents that as of the Closing Date, that it is the legal and

-3-

beneficial owner of the Obligations or Commitments assigned above free and clear of any adverse claim, (ii) makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statement, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (iii) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or any other Person or the performance or observance by any Borrower or any other Person of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Borrowers hereby reaffirm their obligations, liabilities, grants of security interests, pledges and the validity of all covenants by them contained in any and all Loan Documents delivered on the Original Closing Date, the Existing Closing Date or from time to time, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by this Agreement and by the other Loan Documents delivered on the Closing Date. Any and all references in any Loan Documents to the Existing Credit Agreement or the Original Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to refer to this Agreement.

2.	LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1. Revolver Advances.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, each Lender with a US Revolver Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make revolving loans (“US Advances”) to US Borrowers in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of:

(i) such Lender’s US Revolver Commitment, or

(ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of:

(A) the US Maximum Revolver Amount less the sum of (1) the US Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of US Swing Loans outstanding at such time, and

(B) the US Borrowing Base at such time less the sum of (1) the US Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of US Swing Loans outstanding at such time.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, each Lender with a Canadian Revolver Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make revolving loans (“Canadian Advances”) to Canadian Borrower in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of:

(i) such Lender’s Canadian Revolver Commitment, or

(ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of:

(A) the Canadian Maximum Revolver Amount less the sum of (1) the Canadian Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of Canadian Swing Loans outstanding at such time, and

-4-

(B) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time less the sum of (1) the Canadian Letter of Credit Usage at such time, plus (2) the principal amount of Canadian Swing Loans outstanding at such time.

(c) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the sum of the Canadian Revolver Usage and the US Revolver Usage shall not exceed $250,000,000 at any time (except as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.1(e)).

(e) Coleman Cable may, by written notice to US Agent (whereupon US Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request that the amount of the US Maximum Revolver Amount be increased by an amount of up to $50,000,000 (any such increase, a “Revolver Increase”); provided, that no such Revolver Increase shall be made if (i) at the time that such Revolver Increase is to be made (and after giving effect thereto) a Default or Event of Default shall exist, or (ii) US Agent has not received commitments (reasonably satisfactory to US Agent) from Lenders (or their Affiliates) or other Persons reasonably acceptable to US Agent, within a reasonable amount of time after receipt of US Borrowers’ request and prior to such Revolver Increase, to provide US Revolver Commitments which, in the aggregate, equal the amount of the requested Revolver Increase. Any such Revolver Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $20,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its US Revolver Commitment to provide all or any portion of a Revolver Increase. In the event US Agent receives US Revolver Commitments in excess of the requested Revolver Increase, US Agent shall have the right, following consultation with US Borrowers, to allocate the Revolver Increase among such US Revolver Commitments as Agent shall elect. The notice from US Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount of such Revolver Increase. If US Borrowers’ request for the Revolver Increase satisfies all of the terms and conditions set forth herein, US Agent shall notify US Borrowers and each Lender of the date such Revolver Increase is to be made (which date shall be within 10 days of the date each of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied or waived). In connection with the Revolver Increase and as a further condition to providing the Revolver Increase, any Person that becomes a Lender shall execute a joinder to this Agreement as a Lender. Loan Parties, Agents and Lenders shall execute such amendments, agreements, instruments and documents, if any, as US Agent shall reasonably request to evidence the Revolver Increase.

At US Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person of a US Borrower may give US Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, each US Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.

(ii) Each Canadian Borrowing shall be made by a written request by an Authorized Person of Canadian Borrower delivered to Canadian Agent. Unless Canadian Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Canadian Swing Loan pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(ii) below, such notice must be received by Canadian Agent no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the amount of such Canadian Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day; provided, however, that if Canadian Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Canadian Swing Loan as to a requested Canadian Borrowing, such notice must be received by Canadian Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date. At Canadian Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person of Canadian Borrower may give Canadian Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Canadian Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.

(b) Making of Swing Loans.

(i) In the case of a request for a US Advance and so long as the aggregate amount of US Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date, minus the amount of Collections or payments applied to US Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of the requested US Advance does not exceed $25,000,000, US Swing Lender shall make a US Advance in the amount of such requested US Borrowing (any such US Advance made solely by US Swing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(i) being referred to as a “US Swing Loan” and such US Advances being referred to as “US Swing Loans”) available to US Borrowers on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to the US Designated Account. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the US Swing Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make US Swing Loans at any time that one or more of the Lenders is a Defaulting Lender, unless such US Swing Loan is fully supported as a result of either or both of the following: (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Pro

-6-

Rata Share of such US Swing Loan shall be reallocated among all other Lenders with a US Revolver Commitment that are non-Defaulting Lenders in proportion with their Pro Rata Shares of the US Revolver Commitment, but only to the extent that, after giving effect to such reallocation, US Revolver Usage does not exceed the sum of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the US Revolver Commitment; and/or (ii) to the extent that such US Swing Loan exceeds the amount that is permitted to be reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) or if there is no such reallocation, US Borrowers shall have provided cash collateral to US Agent to hold on behalf of US Borrowers, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to US Swing Lender and US Agent, in an amount equal to such excess. Any interest or fees otherwise payable under this Agreement to a Defaulting Lender with respect to any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any US Swing Loan reallocated pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be payable instead to the non-Defaulting Lenders in proportion to their Pro Rata Share of such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share in any US Swing Loan so allocated to them. In the event that a Defaulting Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender then the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any US Swing Loan reallocated to non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(i) shall be reallocated to such previously Defaulting Lender and, from and after (and in respect of fees or interest payable with respect to such US Swing Loan accruing from and after) the date of such reallocation, such previously Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fees or interest payable in respect of such previously Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any US Swing Loan previously reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders. Each US Swing Loan shall be deemed to be a US Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions (including Section 3) applicable to other US Advances, except that all payments on any US Swing Loan shall be payable to US Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), US Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any US Swing Loan if US Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable US Borrowing, or (ii) the requested US Borrowing would exceed the US Availability on such Funding Date. US Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making any US Swing Loan. The US Swing Loans shall be secured by US Agent’s Liens, constitute US Advances and US Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to US Advances that are Base Rate Loans.

(ii) In the case of a request for a Canadian Advance and so long as the aggregate amount of Canadian Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date, minus the amount of Collections or payments applied to Canadian Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date, plus the amount of the requested Canadian Advance does not exceed Cdn$2,000,000, Canadian Swing Lender shall make a Canadian Advance in the amount of such requested Canadian Borrowing (any such Canadian Advance made solely by Canadian Swing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(ii) being referred to as a “Canadian Swing Loan” and such Canadian Advances being referred to as “Canadian Swing Loans”) available to Canadian Borrower on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to the Canadian Designated Account.

-7-

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Canadian Swing Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make Canadian Swing Loans at any time that one or more of the Lenders is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Canadian Swing Loan is fully supported as a result of either or both of the following: (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Canadian Swing Loan shall be reallocated among all other Lenders with a Canadian Revolver Commitment that are non-Defaulting Lenders in proportion with their Pro Rata Shares of the Canadian Revolver Commitment, but only to the extent that, after giving effect to such reallocation, Canadian Revolver Usage does not exceed the sum of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the Canadian Revolver Commitment; and/or (ii) to the extent that such Canadian Swing Loan exceeds the amount that is permitted to be reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) or if there is no such reallocation, Canadian Borrower shall have provided cash collateral to Canadian Agent to hold on behalf of Canadian Borrower, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Canadian Swing Lender and Canadian Agent, in an amount equal to such excess. Any interest or fees otherwise payable under this Agreement to a Defaulting Lender with respect to any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any Canadian Swing Loan reallocated pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be payable instead to the non-Defaulting Lenders in proportion to their Pro Rata Share of such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share in any Canadian Swing Loan so allocated to them. In the event that a Defaulting Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender then the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any Canadian Swing Loan reallocated to non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(ii) shall be reallocated to such previously Defaulting Lender and, from and after (and in respect of fees or interest payable with respect to such Canadian Swing Loan accruing from and after) the date of such reallocation, such previously Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fees or interest payable in respect of such previously Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any Canadian Swing Loan previously reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders. Each Canadian Swing Loan shall be deemed to be a Canadian Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions (including Section 3) applicable to other Canadian Advances, except that all payments on any Canadian Swing Loan shall be payable to Canadian Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Canadian Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any Canadian Swing Loan if Canadian Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Canadian Borrowing, or (ii) the requested Canadian Borrowing would exceed the Canadian Availability on such Funding Date. Canadian Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making any Canadian Swing Loan. The Canadian Swing Loans shall be secured by Canadian Agent’s Liens, constitute Canadian Advances and Canadian Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Canadian Advances that are Base Rate Loans.

-8-

(i) In the event that US Swing Lender is not obligated to make a US Swing Loan, then promptly after receipt of a request for a US Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i), US Agent shall notify the Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested US Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested US Borrowing available to US Agent in immediately available funds, to US Agent’s Account, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After US Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such US Advances, US Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to US Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by US Agent to the US Designated Account; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), US Agent shall not request any Lender to make any US Advance if it has knowledge that, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make any US Advance, if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable US Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested US Borrowing would exceed the US Availability on such Funding Date.

(ii) In the event that Canadian Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Canadian Swing Loan, then promptly after receipt of a request for a Canadian Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(ii), Canadian Agent shall notify the Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Canadian Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Canadian Borrowing available to Canadian Agent in immediately available funds, to Canadian Agent’s Account, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Canadian Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Canadian Advances, Canadian Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Canadian Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Canadian Agent to the Canadian Designated Account; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Canadian Agent shall not request any Lender to make any Canadian Advance if it has knowledge that, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make any Canadian Advance, if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Canadian Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Canadian Borrowing would exceed the Canadian Availability on such Funding Date.

(iii) Unless the US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, receives notice from a Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of a Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to such Agent for the account of US Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, such Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to such Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and such Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon

-9-

such assumption, make available to US Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to the applicable Agent in immediately available funds and if such Agent in such circumstances has made available to US Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to such Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by either Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.3(c)(iii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the applicable Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the applicable Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, such Agent will notify US Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, of such failure to fund and, upon demand by such Agent, US Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall pay such amount (in no event later than 5 Business Days after such demand) to such Agent for such Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing such Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligations to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Borrowers to seek reimbursement from any Defaulting Lender for any amounts paid by the Borrower under this Section 2.3(c)(iii) on account of such Defaulting Lender’s defaults.

(d) Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.

(i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, US Agent hereby is authorized by US Borrowers and the Lenders, and Canadian Agent hereby is authorized by Canadian Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in such Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 are not satisfied, to make Advances to, or for the benefit of, US Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, on behalf of the Lenders (in an aggregate amount for all such Advances taken together not exceeding $25,000,000 outstanding at any one time) that such Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.3(d)(i) made to a US Borrower shall be referred to as “US Protective Advances” and any of the Advances described in this Section 2.3(d)(i) made to Canadian Borrower shall be referred to as “Canadian Protective Advances”).

(ii) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize:

(A) US Agent or US Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make US

-10-

Advances (including US Swing Loans) to US Borrowers, notwithstanding that a US Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as (A) after giving effect to such US Advances, the outstanding US Revolver Usage does not exceed the US Borrowing Base by more than $10,000,000, and (B) after giving effect to such US Advances, the outstanding US Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the US Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the US Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event US Agent obtains actual knowledge that the US Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately foregoing provisions, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, US Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional US Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Accounts for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless US Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case US Agent may make such US Overadvances and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with the US Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with US Borrowers intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the US Advances to US Borrowers to an amount permitted by the preceding sentence. In such circumstances, if any Lender with a US Revolver Commitment objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any US Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and US Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrowers, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.5. Each Lender with a US Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to settle with US Agent as provided in Section 2.3(e) (or Section 2.3(g), as applicable) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional US Overadvances by US Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional US Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.3(d)(ii)(A), and any US Overadvances resulting from the charging to a Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses.

(B) Canadian Agent or Canadian Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Canadian Advances (including Canadian Swing Loans) to Canadian Borrower, notwithstanding that a Canadian Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as (A) after giving effect to such Canadian Advances, the outstanding Canadian Revolver Usage does not exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base by more than $2,000,000, and (B) after giving effect to such Canadian Advances, the outstanding Canadian Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Canadian Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the

-11-

Canadian Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event Canadian Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Canadian Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately foregoing provisions, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Canadian Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Canadian Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Accounts for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless Canadian Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case Canadian Agent may make such Canadian Overadvances and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with the Canadian Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Canadian Borrower intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Canadian Advances to Canadian Borrower to an amount permitted by the preceding sentence. In such circumstances, if any Lender with a Canadian Revolver Commitment objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Canadian Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and Canadian Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrowers, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.5. Each Lender with a Canadian Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to settle with Canadian Agent as provided in Section 2.3(e) (or Section 2.3(g), as applicable) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Canadian Overadvances by Canadian Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Canadian Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.3(d)(ii)(B), and any Canadian Overadvances resulting from the charging to a Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses.

(iii) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder, except that no Protective Advance or Overadvance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and, prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the US Protective Advances shall be payable to US Agent solely for its own account and all payments on the Canadian Protective Advances shall be payable to Canadian Agent solely for its own account. The Protective Advances and Overadvances shall be repayable on demand, secured by Agents’ Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. The ability of each Agent to make Protective Advances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Overadvances and its ability to make Overadvances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Protective Advances. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on each Agent’s ability to make Protective Advances do not apply to Overadvances and the limitations on each Agent’s ability to make Overadvances do not apply to Protective Advances. The provisions of this Section 2.3(d) are for the exclusive benefit of Agents, Swing Lenders, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrowers in any way.

-12-

(e) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agents, Swing Lenders, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by such Agent (1) on behalf of US Swing Lender, with respect to the outstanding US Swing Loans, (2) on behalf of Canadian Swing Lender, with respect to the outstanding Canadian Swing Loans, (3) for itself, with respect to its outstanding Protective Advances or Overadvances, and (4) with respect to Borrowers’ or their Subsidiaries’ Collections or payments received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 4:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances, Swing Loans, Overadvances and Protective Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.3(g)): (w) if the amount of the US Advances (including US Swing Loans, US Overadvances, and US Protective Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the US Advances (including US Swing Loans, US Overadvances, and US Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then US Agent shall, by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the US Advances (including US Swing Loans, US Overadvances and US Protective Advances), (x) if the amount of the Canadian Advances (including Canadian Swing Loans, Canadian Overadvances, and Canadian Protective Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Canadian Advances (including Canadian Swing Loans, Canadian Overadvances, and Canadian Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Canadian Agent shall, by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Canadian Advances (including Canadian Swing Loans, Canadian Overadvances and Canadian Protective Advances), (y) if the amount of the US Advances (including US Swing Loans, US Overadvances, and US Protective Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the US Advances (including US Swing Loans, US Overadvances, and US Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Settlement Date transfer

-13-

in immediately available funds to US Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the US Advances (including US Swing Loans, US Overadvances, and US Protective Advances) and (z) if the amount of the Canadian Advances (including Canadian Swing Loans, Canadian Overadvances, and Canadian Protective Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Canadian Advances (including Canadian Swing Loans, Canadian Overadvances, and Canadian Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to Canadian Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Canadian Advances (including Canadian Swing Loans, Canadian Overadvances, and Canadian Protective Advances). Such amounts made available to US Agent under clause (y) and Canadian Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans, Overadvances, or Protective Advances and, together with the portion of such Swing Loans, Overadvances, or Protective Advances representing the applicable Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the applicable Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, such Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by such Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrowers and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(iii) Between Settlement Dates, (A) US Agent, to the extent US Protective Advances, US Overadvances, or US Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to US Agent or US Swing Lender, as applicable, any Collections or payments received by US Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the US Advances, for application to the US Protective Advances, US Overadvances, or US Swing Loans and (B) Canadian Agent, to the extent Canadian Protective Advances, Canadian Overadvances, or Canadian Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Canadian Agent or Canadian Swing Lender, as applicable, any Collections or payments received by Canadian Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Canadian Advances, for application to the Canadian Protective Advances, Canadian Overadvances, or Canadian Swing Loans. Between Settlement Dates, (Y) US Agent, to the extent no US Protective Advances, US Overadvances, or US Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to US Swing Lender any Collections or payments received by US Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the US Advances, for application to US Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the US Advances and (Z) Canadian Agent, to the extent no Canadian Protective Advances, Canadian

-14-

Overadvances, or Canadian Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Canadian Swing Lender any Collections or payments received by Canadian Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Canadian Advances, for application to Canadian Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Canadian Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections or payments of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to either Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, such Swing Lender shall pay to the applicable Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and such Agent shall pay to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender if Agent has implemented the provisions of Section 2.3(g)), to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, each Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, each Agent with respect to Protective Advances and Overadvances, and each Lender with respect to the Advances other than Swing Loans, Overadvances, and Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Lenders, Agents, or the Lenders, as applicable.

(iv) Anything in this Section 2.3(e) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.3(g).

(f) Notation. US Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for US Borrowers, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the US Advances, owing to each Lender, including the US Swing Loans owing to US Swing Lender, and US Protective Advances and US Overadvances owing to US Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time. Canadian Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Canadian Borrower, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the Canadian Advances, owing to each Lender, including the Canadian Swing Loans owing to Canadian Swing Lender, and Canadian Protective Advances and Canadian Overadvances owing to Canadian Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time. Each such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.

(g) Defaulting Lenders. Neither Agent shall be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by any Borrower to such Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any Collections or proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, such Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to the applicable Swing Lender to the extent of any Swing Loans that were made by such Swing Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (B) second, to the applicable Issuing Lender, to the extent of the portion of a Letter of Credit Disbursement that was required to be, but was not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (C) third, to each non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of an Advance (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other non-Defaulting

-15-

Lender), (D) to a suspense account maintained by such Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by such Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of the US Borrowers of Canadian Borrower, as applicable, as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Advances (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (E) from and after the date on which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (M) of Section 2.4(b)(ii) and tier (L) of Section 2.4(b)(iii), as applicable. Subject to the foregoing, each Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to US Borrowers and Canadian Borrower, as applicable, for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by such Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 2.10(b) or (c), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. The provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which all of the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agents, Issuing Lenders, and Borrowers shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 2.3(g) to such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to the applicable Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by the applicable Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder and is not otherwise a Defaulting Lender. The operation of this Section 2.3(g) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder to Agents, Issuing Lenders, or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrowers, at their option, upon written notice to Agents, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to each Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including (1) all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof, and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of its participation in the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or any Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.3(g) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern.

-16-

(h) Independent Obligations. All Advances (other than Swing Loans, Overadvances and Protective Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.

2.4. Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments.

In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.

-25-

(f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate.

The receipt of any payment item by either Agent shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to such Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by an Agent only if it is received into such Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time). If any payment item is received into an Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by such Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

unless such US Letter of Credit is fully supported as a result of either or both of the following: (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such US Letter of Credit shall be reallocated among all other Lenders with a US Revolver Commitment that are non-Defaulting Lenders in proportion with their Pro Rata Shares of the US Revolver Commitment, but only to the extent that, after giving effect to such reallocation, US Revolver Usage does not exceed the sum of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the US Revolver Commitment; and (ii) to the extent that such US Letter of Credit exceeds the amount that is permitted to be reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) or if there is no such reallocation, US Borrowers shall have provided cash collateral to US Agent to hold on behalf of US Borrowers, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to US Issuing Bank and US Agent, in an amount equal to such excess. Any Letter of Credit fee payable to US Agent pursuant to Section 2.6(b) otherwise payable to a Defaulting Lender with respect to any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any US Letter of Credit reallocated pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be payable instead to the non-Defaulting Lenders in proportion to their Pro Rata Share of such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share in any US Letter of Credit so allocated to them. In the event that a Defaulting Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender then the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any US Letter of Credit reallocated to non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be reallocated to such previously Defaulting Lender and, from and after (and in respect of Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 2.6(b) accruing from and after) the date of such reallocation, such previously Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit fees payable in respect of such previously Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any US Letter of Credit previously reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders.

The US Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a US Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance:

(i) the US Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the US Borrowing Base less the outstanding amount of US Advances (inclusive of US Swing Loans), or

(ii) the US Letter of Credit Usage would exceed an amount equal to $15,000,000 less the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Letter of Credit Usage, or

(iii) the US Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the US Maximum Revolver Amount less the outstanding amount of US Advances (including US Swing Loans).

Additionally, US Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a US Letter of Credit if (I) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain US Issuing Bank from issuing such US Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to US Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over US Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that US Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such US Letter of Credit in particular, or (II) the issuance of such US Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of US Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

-29-

US Borrowers and the Lender Group hereby acknowledge and agree that all Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute US Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Closing Date with the same effect as if such Existing Letters of Credit were issued by US Issuing Bank at the request of US Borrowers on the Closing Date. Each US Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to US Issuing Bank, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If US Issuing Bank makes a payment under a US Letter of Credit, US Borrowers shall pay to US Agent, for the benefit of US Issuing Bank, an amount equal to the applicable US Letter of Credit Disbursement on the date such US Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the US Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an US Advance hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to US Advances that are Base Rate Loans. If a US Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be a US Advance hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 3), US Borrowers’ obligation to pay the amount of such US Letter of Credit Disbursement to US Issuing Bank shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting US Advance. Promptly following receipt by US Agent of any payment from US Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, US Agent shall distribute such payment to US Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.11(b) to reimburse US Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and US Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(b) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a US Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.11(a), each Lender with a US Revolver Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any US Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) on the same terms and conditions as if US Borrowers had requested the amount thereof as a US Advance and US Agent shall promptly pay to US Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a US Letter of Credit (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a US Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of the US Issuing Bank or the Lenders with US Revolver Commitments, the US Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with a US Revolver Commitment, and each Lender with a US Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each US Letter of Credit issued by US Issuing Bank, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such US Letter of Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to US Agent, for the account of the US Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any US Letter of Credit Disbursement made by US Issuing Bank under the applicable US Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a US Revolver Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to US Agent, for the account of the US Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each US Letter of Credit Disbursement made by US Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by US Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.11(a), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded (or that US Agent or US Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to US Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender with a US Revolver Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to US Agent, for the account of the US Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each US Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3. If any such Lender fails to make available to US Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a US Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a

-30-

Defaulting Lender and US Agent (for the account of the US Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

(c) Each US Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless from any damage, loss, cost, expense, or liability (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16), and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by US Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group arising out of or in connection with any US Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no US Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify any such Person for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

(d) Each Lender with a US Revolver Commitment and each US Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a US Letter of Credit, US Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the US Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of US Issuing Bank, Agents, any of the Lender-Related Persons or Agent-Related Persons, nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of US Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any US Letter of Credit or any error in interpretation of technical terms; or (iv) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any US Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Each US Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any US Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of US Issuing Bank, Agents, any of the Lender-Related Persons or Agent-Related Persons, nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of US Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.11(e) or for any action, neglect or omission under or in connection with any US Letter of Credit or Issuer Document, including in connection with the issuance or any amendment of any US Letter of Credit, the failure to issue or amend any US Letter of Credit, the honoring or dishonoring of any demand under any US Letter of Credit, or the following of any US Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the US Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto, and such action or neglect or omission will bind such US Borrower; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, any US Borrower may have a claim against US Issuing Bank, and US Issuing Bank may be liable to such US Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, exemplary or punitive, damages suffered by such US Borrower which such US Borrower proves were caused by US Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or US Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any US Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a US Letter of Credit; provided further, however, that any claim

-31-

against US Issuing Bank by any US Borrower for any loss suffered or incurred by such US Borrower shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount (if any) saved by such US Borrower as a result of the breach or other wrongful conduct that allegedly caused such loss, and (ii) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had such US Borrower taken all reasonable steps to mitigate such loss, including, without limitation, by enforcing its rights against any beneficiary and, in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing Issuing Bank to cure such dishonor. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, US Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary (or US Issuing Bank may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such US Letter of Credit and may disregard any requirement in a US Letter of Credit that notice of dishonor be given in a particular manner and any requirement that presentation be made at a particular place or by a particular time of day), and US Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a US Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The US Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the wording of any US Letter of Credit (including any drawing conditions or any terms or conditions that are ineffective, ambiguous, inconsistent, unduly complicated or reasonably impossible to satisfy), notwithstanding any assistance US Issuing Bank may provide to any US Borrower with drafting or recommending text for any letter of credit application or with the structuring of any transaction related to any US Letter of Credit, and each US Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such assistance will not constitute legal or other advice by US Issuing Bank or any representation or warranty by US Issuing Bank that any such wording or such US Letter of Credit will be effective. Without limiting the foregoing, US Issuing Bank may, as it deems appropriate, modify or alter and use in any US Letter of Credit the terminology contained on the letter of credit application for such US Letter of Credit. Each US Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither US Issuing Bank nor any other member of the Lender Group shall be responsible for delays, errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any US Letter of Credit.

(e) The obligation of each US Borrower to reimburse the US Issuing Bank for each drawing under each US Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such US Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document,

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such US Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), US Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or such US Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction,

-32-

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such US Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such US Letter of Credit,

(iv) any payment by US Issuing Bank under such US Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such US Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, any requirement that presentation be made at a particular place or by a particular time of day), or any payment made by US Issuing Bank under such US Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such US Letter of Credit,

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or

(vi) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(f) Each US Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any and all standard fees, charges, and commissions in effect from time to time of US Issuing Bank relating to US Letters of Credit, upon the issuance of any US Letter of Credit, upon the payment or negotiation of any drawing under any US Letter of Credit, or upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any US Letter of Credit (including the transfer, amendment or cancellation of any US Letter of Credit), together with any and all fronting fees in effect from time to time related to US Letters of Credit, shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement, and shall be reimbursable immediately by US Borrowers to US Agent for the account of US Issuing Bank; it being acknowledged and agreed by US Borrowers that, as of the Closing Date, the usage charge imposed by the US Issuing Bank is .125% per annum times the undrawn amount of each US Letter of Credit, that such usage charge may be changed from time to time, and that the US Issuing Bank also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals.

(g) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by US Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any US Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or

-33-

(ii) there shall be imposed on US Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group any other condition regarding any US Letter of Credit,

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to US Issuing Bank or any other member of the US Lender Group of issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any US Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, US Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify US Borrowers, and US Borrowers shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as US Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate US Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder; provided, however, that no US Borrower shall be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to US Borrowers (provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in applicable law or compliance requirement enacted after the Closing Date regardless of the date actually enacted, adopted or issued); provided further, however, that if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by US Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.11(g), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

(h) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by US Issuing Bank and the applicable US Borrower when a US Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP and the UCP 600 shall apply to each standby US Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP 600 shall apply to each commercial US Letter of Credit.

(i) In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.11 and any provision contained in any Issuer Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.11 shall control and govern.

2.12. Canadian Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Canadian Borrower made in accordance herewith, the Canadian Issuing Lender agrees to issue, or to cause a Canadian Underlying Issuer (including, as Canadian Issuing Lender’s agent) to issue, a requested Canadian Letter of Credit. If Canadian Issuing Lender, at its option, elects to cause a Canadian Underlying Issuer to issue a requested Canadian Letter of Credit, then Canadian Issuing Lender agrees that it will enter into arrangements relative to the reimbursement of such Canadian Underlying Issuer (which may include, among, other means, by becoming an applicant with respect to such Canadian Letter of Credit or entering into undertakings which

-34-

provide for reimbursements of such Canadian Underlying Issuer with respect to such Canadian Letter of Credit; each such obligation or undertaking, irrespective of whether in writing, a “Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking”) with respect to Canadian Letters of Credit issued by such Canadian Underlying Issuer. By submitting a request to Canadian Issuing Lender for the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit, Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Canadian Issuing Lender issue or that a Canadian Underlying Issuer issue the requested Letter of Credit and to have requested Canadian Issuing Lender to issue a Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking with respect to such requested Canadian Letter of Credit if it is to be issued by a Canadian Underlying Issuer (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Canadian Borrower that Canadian Borrower is and shall be deemed to be the applicant with respect to each Canadian Underlying Letter of Credit). Each request for the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Canadian Letter of Credit, shall be made in writing by an Authorized Person of Canadian Borrower and delivered to the Canadian Issuing Lender via hand delivery, telefacsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Canadian Issuing Lender and shall specify (i) the amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit, (ii) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Canadian Letter of Credit, (iii) the proposed expiration date of such Canadian Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Canadian Letter of Credit, and (v) such other information (including, the conditions of drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Canadian Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Canadian Letter of Credit. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Canadian Issuing Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, issue or cause the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit or to issue a Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of a Canadian Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, that supports the obligations of Canadian Borrower or its Subsidiaries (1) in respect of (A) a lease of real property, or (B) an employment contract, or (2) at any time that one or more of the Lenders is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Canadian Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking is fully supported as a result of either or both of the following: (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Canadian Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking shall be reallocated among all other Lenders with a Canadian Revolver Commitment that are non-Defaulting Lenders in proportion with their Pro Rata Shares of the Canadian Revolver Commitment, but only to the extent that, after giving effect to such reallocation, Canadian Revolver Usage does not exceed the sum of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the Canadian Revolver Commitment; and (ii) to the extent that such Canadian Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking exceeds the amount that is permitted to be reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) or if there is no such reallocation, Canadian Borrower shall have provided cash collateral to Canadian Agent to hold on behalf of Canadian Borrower, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Canadian Issuing Lender and Canadian Agent, in an amount equal to such excess. Any Letter of Credit fee payable to Canadian Agent pursuant to Section 2.6(b) otherwise payable to a Defaulting Lender with respect to any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any Canadian Letter of Credit reallocated pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be payable instead to the non-Defaulting Lenders in proportion to their Pro Rata Share of such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share in any Canadian Letter of Credit so allocated to them. In the event that a Defaulting Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender then the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata

-35-

Share in any Canadian Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking reallocated to non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) shall be reallocated to such previously Defaulting Lender and, from and after (and in respect of Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 2.6(b) accruing from and after) the date of such reallocation, such previously Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit fees payable in respect of such previously Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any Canadian Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking previously reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders.

The Canadian Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Canadian Letter of Credit or a Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of a Canadian Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance:

(i) the Canadian Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base less the outstanding amount of Canadian Advances (inclusive of US Swing Loans), or

(ii) the Canadian Letter of Credit Usage would exceed Cdn$3,000,000, or

(iii) the Canadian Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Canadian Maximum Revolver Amount less the outstanding amount of Canadian Advances (including Canadian Swing Loans).

Each Canadian Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Canadian Issuing Lender, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Canadian Dollars. If Canadian Issuing Lender makes a payment under a Canadian Letter of Credit or a Canadian Underlying Issuer makes a payment under a Canadian Underlying Letter of Credit, Canadian Borrower shall pay to Canadian Agent an amount equal to the applicable Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement on the date such Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a Canadian Advance hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Canadian Advances that are Base Rate Loans. If a Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be a Canadian Advance hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 3), Canadian Borrower’s obligation to pay the amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement to Canadian Issuing Lender shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting Canadian Advance. Promptly following receipt by Canadian Agent of any payment from Canadian Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, Canadian Agent shall distribute such payment to the Canadian Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.12(b) to reimburse the Canadian Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Canadian Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.

(b) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.12(a), each Lender with a Canadian Revolver Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Canadian Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.12(a) on the same terms and conditions as if Canadian Borrower had requested the

-36-

amount thereof as a Canadian Advance and Canadian Agent shall promptly pay to Canadian Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit or a Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a Canadian Letter of Credit or a Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking) and without any further action on the part of the Canadian Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Canadian Revolver Commitments, the Canadian Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with a Canadian Revolver Commitment, and each Lender with a Canadian Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Canadian Letter of Credit issued by Canadian Issuing Lender and each Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Canadian Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Canadian Agent, for the account of the Canadian Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Canadian Issuing Lender or a Canadian Underlying Issuer under the applicable Canadian Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Canadian Revolver Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Canadian Agent, for the account of the Canadian Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Canadian Issuing Lender or a Canadian Underlying Issuer and not reimbursed by Canadian Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.12(a), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded (or that Canadian Agent or Canadian Issuing Lender elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to Canadian Borrower for any reason. Each Lender with a Canadian Revolver Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Canadian Agent, for the account of the Canadian Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3. If any such Lender fails to make available to Canadian Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Canadian Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and US Agent (for the account of the Canadian Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

(c) Canadian Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group and each Canadian Underlying Issuer harmless from any damage, loss, cost, expense, or liability (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16), and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Canadian Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Canadian Underlying Issuer arising out of or in connection with any Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking or any Canadian Letter of Credit; provided, however, that Canadian Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify any such Person for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. Canadian Borrower agrees to be bound by the Canadian Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Canadian Letter of Credit or by Canadian Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking even though this interpretation may be different from such Borrower’s own, and Canadian Borrower understands and agrees that none of the Canadian Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Canadian Underlying Issuer shall be liable for any error,

-37-

negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Canadian Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Canadian Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Canadian Borrower understands that the Canadian Reimbursement Undertakings may require Canadian Issuing Lender to indemnify the Canadian Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Canadian Borrower against such Canadian Underlying Issuer. Canadian Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold Canadian Issuing Lender and the other members of the Lender Group harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), or liability (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16) incurred by them under any Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking as a result of the Canadian Issuing Lender’s indemnification of a Canadian Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that Canadian Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify any such Person for any such loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. Canadian Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of the Canadian Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Canadian Underlying Issuer shall be responsible for delays, errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any Canadian Letter of Credit.

(d) The obligation of Canadian Borrower to reimburse the Canadian Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Canadian Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Canadian Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or another Loan Document,

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Canadian Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Canadian Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or such Canadian Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction,

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Canadian Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Canadian Letter of Credit,

(iv) any payment by the Canadian Issuing Lender under such Canadian Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not substantially or strictly comply with the terms of such Canadian Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, any requirement that presentation be made at a particular place or by a particular time of day), or any payment made by the Canadian Issuing Lender under such Canadian Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Canadian Letter of Credit,

-38-

(vi) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(e) Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Canadian Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Canadian Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Canadian Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Canadian Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Canadian Issuing Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Canadian Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application.

(f) Canadian Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any and all issuance charges, usage charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Canadian Issuing Lender relating to Canadian Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and shall be reimbursable immediately by Canadian Borrower to Canadian Agent for the account of the Canadian Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by Canadian Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the usage charge imposed by the Canadian Underlying Issuer is .125% per annum times the undrawn amount of each Canadian Underlying Letter of Credit, that such usage charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Canadian Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals.

(g) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Canadian Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or Canadian Underlying Issuer with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Canadian Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or

(ii) there shall be imposed on the Canadian Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or Canadian Underlying Issuer any other condition regarding any Canadian Letter of Credit or Canadian Reimbursement Undertaking,

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Canadian Issuing Lender, any other member of the Canadian Lender Group, or a Canadian Underlying Issuer of issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any Canadian Reimbursement

-39-

Undertaking or Canadian Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Canadian Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Canadian Borrower, and Canadian Borrower shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Canadian Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Canadian Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or a Canadian Underlying Issuer for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder; provided, however, that Canadian Borrower shall not be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12(g) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to Canadian Borrower (provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in applicable law or compliance requirement enacted after the Closing Date regardless of the date actually enacted, adopted or issued); provided further, however, that if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Canadian Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.12(g), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

2.13. LIBOR Option.

(a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall have the option, subject to Section 2.13(b) below (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances be charged (whether at the time when made (unless otherwise provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or upon continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan) at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Borrowers properly have exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the written election of the Required Lenders, Borrowers no longer shall have the option to request that Advances bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate.

(b) LIBOR Election.

(i) US Borrowers and Canadian Borrower may, at any time and from time to time (so long as Administrative Borrower has not received a notice from Agents, after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, of the election by the Required Lenders to terminate Borrowers’ right to exercise the LIBOR Option), elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, prior to 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the

-40-

commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of US Borrowers’ or Canadian Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Advances and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, of a LIBOR Notice received by such Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by such Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to such Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by such Agent prior to 4:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, such Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the affected Lenders.

(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on each Borrower issuing such LIBOR Notice. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, each Borrower issuing such LIBOR Notice shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by any Agent or any Lender (excluding loss of anticipated profits) as a result of (A) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate 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 LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of an Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be conclusive absent manifest or demonstrable error. Borrowers shall pay such amount to such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. If a payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a Funding Loss, Agents shall at the request of Borrowers, hold the amount of such payment as cash collateral in support of the Obligations until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such amounts to the payment of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan on such last day, it being agreed that in the event that an Agent does not defer such application, Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any resulting Funding Losses.

(iii) US Borrowers shall have not more than 7 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. US Borrowers only may exercise the LIBOR Option for proposed LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000. Canadian Borrower shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. Canadian Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR Option for proposed LIBOR Rate Loans of at least Cdn$500,000.

(c) Conversion. Subject to Section 2.13(b)(i), Borrowers may convert LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are converted or prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by the applicable Agent of proceeds of Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ Collections in accordance with Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agents and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.13 (b)(ii).

-41-

(d) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.

(i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by the applicable Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law (other than changes in laws relative to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16) occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give US Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, notice of such a determination and adjustment and such Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, such Borrowers may, by notice to such affected Lender (y) require such Lender to furnish to such Borrowers a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.13(b)(ii)).

(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, and US Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and such Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) such Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.

(e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither any Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate.

2.14. Capital Requirements.

(a) If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation, implementation, or

-42-

application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify US Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as applicable, and US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, thereof; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in law or compliance requirement enacted after the Closing Date regardless of the date actually enacted, adopted or issued. Following receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrowers agree to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the applicable Borrower of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section 2.13(d)(i) or amounts under Section 2.14(a) or sends a notice under Section 2.13(d)(ii) relative to changed circumstances (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13(d)(i) or Section 2.14(a), as applicable, or would eliminate the illegality or impracticality of funding or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such Affected Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another of its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrowers’ obligation to pay any future amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(d)(i) or Section 2.14(a), as applicable, or to enable Borrowers to obtain LIBOR

-43-

Rate Loans, then Borrowers (without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Affected Lender under Section 2.13(d)(i) or Section 2.14(a), as applicable) may, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts under Section 2.13(d)(i) or Section 2.14(a), as applicable, or indicates that it is no longer unlawful or impractical to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, may seek a substitute Lender reasonably acceptable to US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, to purchase the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender’s Commitments hereunder (a “Replacement Lender”), and if such Replacement Lender agrees to such purchase, such Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations and Commitments, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and upon such purchase by the Replacement Lender, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement. In connection with the arrangement of a Replacement Lender hereunder, the Affected Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder (subject to the above), and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including (1) all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.13(d)(i) and/or Section 2.14(a) and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of its participation in the Letters of Credit).

2.15. Joint and Several Liability of US Borrowers.

(a) Each US Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with the other US Borrowers in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lender Group under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each US Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other US Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b) Each US Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other US Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the US Obligations (including any US Obligations arising under this Section 2.15), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the US Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each US Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) If and to the extent that any US Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the US Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the US Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other US Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such US Obligation until such time as all of the US Obligations are paid in full.

(d) The US Obligations of each US Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.15 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse US Obligations of each US Borrower enforceable against each US Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement (other than this Section 2.15(d)) or any other circumstances whatsoever.

-44-

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each US Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Advances or Letters of Credit issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Agents or Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each US Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Agents or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Agents or Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each US Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Agent or Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.15 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.15, it being the intention of each US Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each US Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The US Obligations of each US Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower or any Agent or Lender.

(f) Each US Borrower represents and warrants to Agents and Lenders that such US Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each US Borrower further represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that such US Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each US Borrower hereby covenants that such US Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers’ financial condition and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

(g) The provisions of this Section 2.15 are made for the benefit of each Agent, each member of the Lender Group, each Bank Product Provider, and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all US Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Agent, any member of the Lender Group, any Bank Product Provider, or any of their successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or

-45-

to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.15 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.15 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

2.16. Interest Act (Canada); Criminal Rate of Interest; Nominal Rate of Interest.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, solely to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that the calculation or determination of interest payable by Canadian Borrower in respect of the Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by the laws of any province of Canada and the federal laws of Canada:

(a) whenever interest payable by Canadian Borrower is calculated on the basis of a period which is less than the actual number of days in a calendar year, each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used as the basis of such calculation;

(b) in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, as the same shall be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time) payable by Canadian Borrower to any Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) under this Agreement or such other Loan Document lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of Agents, Lenders and Canadian Borrower and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded by the applicable Agent and Lenders to Canadian Borrower. For the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which Canadian Borrower is a party, the effective annual rate of interest payable by Canadian Borrower shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the loans on the basis of annual compounding for the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries appointed by Canadian Agent for the account of Canadian Borrower will be conclusive for the purpose of such determination in the absence of evidence to the contrary;

(c) all calculations of interest payable by Canadian Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document are to be made on the basis of the nominal interest rate described herein and therein and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or on any other basis which gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest. The parties acknowledge that there is a material difference between the stated nominal interest rates and the effective yearly rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations required to determine such effective yearly rates of interest; and

-46-

(d) any provision of this Agreement that would oblige Canadian Borrower to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to Canadian Borrower, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

2.17. Currencies.

All US Obligations shall be paid in Dollars (except for any US Obligations consisting of a Guaranty that provides for the payment in another currency). All Canadian Obligations shall be paid in Canadian Dollars (except for any Canadian Obligations consisting of a Guaranty that provides for the payment in another currency).

3.	CONDITIONS; TERM OF AGREEMENT.

3.1. Conditions Precedent to the Initial Extension of Credit.

The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to the fulfillment, to the satisfaction of each Agent and each Lender (or waiver by each Agent and each Lender), of each of the conditions precedent set forth on Schedule 3.1.

3.2. Conditions Precedent to all Extensions of Credit.

The obligation of the Lender Group (or any member thereof) to make any Advances hereunder (or to extend any other credit hereunder) at any time shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

(a) the representations and warranties of each Borrower or its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of such earlier date);

(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either result from the making thereof; and

(c) if the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the sum of US Revolver Usage and Canadian Revolver Usage is greater than $200,000,000 (or would be greater than $200,000,000 upon giving effect to such extension of credit), Administrative Borrower shall have delivered a certificate to each Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each

-47-

Agent, executed by the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of Administrative Borrower and certifying to each Agent that such extension of credit in excess of $200,000,000 is permitted under the Senior Note Debt Documents.

3.3. Maturity.

This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on October 1, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Lender Group, upon the election of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement immediately and without notice to any Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

3.4. Effect of Maturity.

On the Maturity Date, all commitments of the Lender Group to provide additional credit hereunder shall automatically be terminated and all of the Obligations immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand and Borrowers shall be required to repay all of the Obligations in full. No termination of the obligations of the Lender Group (other than payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments) shall relieve or discharge any Loan Party of its duties, obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any other Loan Document and Agents’ Liens in the Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations and shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. When all of the Obligations have been paid in full and the Lender Group’s obligations to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, each Agent will, at Borrowers’ sole expense, execute and deliver any possessory collateral held in connection herewith or any termination statements, lien releases, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably requested to release, as of record, such Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by Agent.

3.5. Early Termination by Borrowers.

Borrowers have the option, at any time upon 10 Business Days prior written notice to each Agent, to terminate this Agreement and terminate the Commitments hereunder by repaying to the Agents all of the Obligations in full.

4.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

In order to induce the Lender Group to enter into this Agreement, each Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to the Lender Group which shall be true, correct, and complete, in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), as of the Closing Date, and shall be true, correct, and complete, in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), as of the date of the making of each Advance (or other extension of credit) made thereafter, as though made on and as of the date of such Advance (or other extension of credit) (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date in

-48-

which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of such earlier date) and such representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement:

4.1. Organization and Qualification.

Such Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or in each case, its equivalent, to the extent such concept is applicable to its respective jurisdiction) under the laws of the state or other jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the power and authority to own its properties and assets and to transact the businesses in which it is presently, or proposes to be, engaged, and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Schedule 4.1 contains a true, correct and complete list of all jurisdictions in which each Loan Party is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or foreign limited liability company as of the Closing Date.

4.2. Solvency.

The fair saleable value of such Borrower’s assets exceeds all probable liabilities, including those to be incurred pursuant to this Agreement. Such Borrower (i) does not have unreasonably small capital in relation to the business in which it is or proposes to be engaged or (ii) has not incurred, and does not believe that it will incur after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the other Loan Documents, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due.

4.3. Liens; Inventory.

There are no Liens in favor of third parties with respect to any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, with respect to the Inventory, wherever located, other than Permitted Liens. Upon the proper filing of financing statements and the proper recordation of other applicable documents with the appropriate filing or recordation offices in each of the necessary jurisdictions, the security interests granted pursuant to the Loan Documents constitute and shall at all times constitute valid and enforceable first, prior and perfected Liens on the Collateral (other than Permitted Liens), to the full extent such Collateral may be perfected by the proper filing of such financing statements and proper recordation of such other applicable documents. The Loan Parties are or will be at the time additional Collateral is acquired by them, the absolute owners of the Collateral with full right to pledge, sell, consign, transfer and create a Lien therein (subject to Section 6.12 herein), free and clear of any and all Liens in favor of third parties, except Permitted Liens.

4.4. No Conflict.

Provision of such notice by the Loan Parties will not constitute a waiver or excuse of any Default or Event of Default occurring as a result of such changes or events.

5.6. Environmental Matters.

Each Loan Party will conduct its business and the businesses of each of the Subsidiaries so as to comply in all material respects with all environmental laws, regulations, directions, ordinances, criteria and guidelines in all jurisdictions in which any of them is or may at any time be doing business including, without limitation, environmental land use, occupational safety or health laws, regulations, directions, ordinances, criteria, guidelines, requirements or permits in all jurisdictions in which any of them is or may at any time be doing business, except to the extent that any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is contesting, in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings, any such law, regulation, direction, ordinance, criteria, guideline, or interpretation thereof or application thereof or to the extent that non-compliance thereof would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change; provided, that each Loan Party and each of the Subsidiaries will comply with the order of any court or other governmental body of the applicable jurisdiction relating to such laws unless such Loan Party or Subsidiary shall currently be prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for review and shall have secured a stay of enforcement or execution or other arrangement postponing enforcement or execution pending such appeal or proceedings for review.

Within 15 days after any Loan Party learns of the enactment or promulgation of any federal, provincial, state or local environmental law, regulation, direction, ordinance, criteria or guideline which would reasonably cause a Material Adverse Change, such Loan Party will provide the US Agent with notice thereof. Each Loan Party will promptly take all actions necessary to prevent the imposition of any Liens on any of its properties arising out of or related to any environmental matters. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at the request of the US Agent from time to time, and at the sole cost and expense of the Loan Parties, the Loan Parties will retain an environmental consulting firm, satisfactory to the US Agent in its reasonable discretion, to conduct an environmental review and audit of the properties of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries located in the United States and Canada and provide to the US Agent and each Lender a copy of any reports delivered in connection therewith.

5.7. Books and Records; Inspection.

Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain books and records pertaining to the Collateral in such detail, form and scope as is consistent with good business practice. Each Loan Party agrees that either of the Agents or their agents may enter upon the premises of each Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries at any time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours, and at any time at all on and after the occurrence of an Event of Default which continues beyond the expiration of any grace or cure period applicable thereto, and which has not otherwise been waived by Required Lenders, for the purpose of (a) enabling each Agent’s internal auditors or outside third party designees to conduct field examinations at such Loan Party’s expense, (b) inspecting and appraising the Collateral, (c) inspecting and/or copying (at such Loan Party’ expense) any and all records pertaining thereto, (d) discussing the affairs, finances and business of any Loan Party or with any officers, employees and directors of any Loan Party with the Independent Accountant and (e) verifying Eligible Accounts and/or Eligible Inventory. The Lenders, in the reasonable discretion of the US Agent, may accompany either Agent at such Lender’s sole expense in connection with the foregoing inspections. Each Loan Party agrees to afford each Agent 10 days prior written notice (or such shorter period approved by US Agent in its sole discretion) of any change in the location of any Collateral (other than vehicles, Inventory held for shipment by third Persons, Inventory in transit, Inventory held for processing by third Persons or immaterial quantities of assets, equipment or Inventory with an aggregate book value of less than $1,000,000), and 10 days prior written notice (or such shorter period approved by US Agent in its sole discretion) of

-68-

any change in its jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office or place of business from the locations specified in Schedule 4.7, and to execute in advance of such change, cause to be filed and/or delivered to each Agent any financing statements or other documents reasonably required by such Agent, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Agent. Each Loan Party agrees to advise each Agent promptly, in sufficient detail, of any event which would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.8. Collateral Records.

Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, execute and deliver to each Agent, from time to time, solely for such Agent’s convenience in maintaining a record of the Collateral, such written statements and schedules as such Agent may reasonably require, including without limitation those described in Section 5.1, designating, identifying or describing the Collateral pledged to each Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, hereunder. Any Loan Party’s failure, however, to promptly give either Agent such statements or schedules shall not affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit the Agents’ or the Lenders’ security interests in the Collateral. Such Loan Party agrees to maintain such books and records regarding Accounts and the other Collateral as each Agent may reasonably require, and agrees that such books and records will reflect the Lenders’ interest in the Accounts and such other Collateral.

5.9. Security Interests.

Each Loan Party will defend the Collateral against all non-frivolous claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein. Each Loan Party agrees to, and will cause the other Loan Parties to, comply with the requirements of all state, provincial and federal laws in order to grant to the Lenders valid and perfected first security interest in the Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens. Each Agent is hereby authorized by each Loan Party to file any financing statements covering the Collateral whether or not any Loan Party’s signature appears thereon. Each Loan Party agrees to do whatever either Agent may reasonably request, from time to time, by way of: filing notices of liens, financing statements, fixture filings and amendments, renewals and continuations thereof; cooperating with each Agent’s custodians; keeping stock records; making commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers from landlords and mortgagees and from warehousemen, fillers, processors and packers and their respective landlords and mortgagees; paying claims, which might if unpaid, become a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on the Collateral; assigning its rights to the payment of Accounts pursuant to the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. §3727 et. seq.) (the failure of which to so assign will permit the applicable Agent to exclude such Accounts from the applicable Borrowing Base); and performing such further acts as such Agent may reasonably require in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any and all fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind and nature (including any Taxes, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees or costs for insurance of any kind), which either Agent may incur with respect to the Collateral or the Obligations: in filing public notices; in preparing or filing documents; making title examinations or rendering opinions; in protecting, maintaining, or preserving the Collateral or its interest therein; in enforcing or foreclosing the Liens hereunder, whether through judicial procedures or otherwise; or in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to its transactions with any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, will be borne and paid by the Loan Parties. If same are not promptly paid by the Loan Parties, each Agent

-69-

may pay same on the Loan Parties’ behalf, and the amount thereof shall be an Obligation secured hereby and due to such Agent on demand. If any Loan Party leases any Real Property or acquires any Real Property with a fair market value in excess of $2,500,000 after the date hereof, such Loan Party will promptly (i) submit to the US Agent an updated Schedule 4.19 pursuant to Section 5.23 and (ii) with respect to all such Real Property with a fair market value in excess of $2,500,000 that is owned by a Loan Party, execute and deliver to the applicable Agent a Mortgage on such Real Property, and deliver to the each Agent the other items reasonably requested by such Agent in connection therewith, including, without limitation, surveys and flood hazard certificates, and all provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.9 and all other applicable representations, warranties and covenants) that are applicable to Real Property or Mortgages shall apply thereto.

5.10. Insurance; Casualty Loss.

Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, maintain public liability insurance, third party property damage insurance and replacement value insurance on their assets under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such amounts and covering such risks as ordinarily are insured against by other Persons engaged in the same or similar lines of business. All policies covering the Collateral are to name the US Loan Parties and the US Agent or the Canadian Loan Parties and the Canadian Agent, as applicable, in each case for the benefit of the Lenders, as loss payees in case of loss, as their interests may appear, and all liability policies are to name the US Loan Parties and the Agents or the Canadian Loan Parties and the Agents, as applicable, as additional insureds, as their interests may appear, and are to contain such other provisions as the US Agent may reasonably require to fully protect each Agent’s interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be made under such policies. True copies of all original insurance policies or certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance are to be delivered to US Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, premium prepaid, with the loss payable endorsement in the applicable Agent’s favor, and shall (to the extent the applicable insurance company has agreed) provide for not less than 30 days prior written notice to the applicable Agent, of the exercise of any right of cancellation. In the event that any Borrower receives any notice of cancellation or intended cancellation of any of its or its Subsidiaries’ insurance policies, Borrowers shall immediately notify US Agent of the receipt of such notice and send a copy of such notice to US Agent. In the event any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries fail to respond in a timely and appropriate manner (as determined by the US Agent in its sole discretion) with respect to collecting under any insurance policies required to be maintained under this Section 5.10, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, each Agent shall have the right, in the name of such Agent, such Loan Party or Subsidiary, to file claims under such insurance policies, to receive and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies. Each Loan Party will provide written notice to Agents and the Lenders of the occurrence of any of the following events within 5 Business Days after the occurrence of such event: any asset or property owned or used by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is (i) materially damaged or destroyed, or suffers any other loss or (ii) is condemned, confiscated or otherwise taken, in whole or in part, or the use thereof is otherwise diminished so as to render impracticable or unreasonable the use of such asset or property for the purpose to which such asset or property

-70-

were used immediately prior to such condemnation, confiscation or taking, by exercise of the powers of condemnation or eminent domain or otherwise, and in either case the amount of the damage, destruction, loss or diminution in value of the Collateral which is in excess of $2,500,000 (collectively, a “Casualty Loss”). Each Loan Party will diligently file and prosecute its claim or claims for any award or payment in connection with a Casualty Loss. Within 1 Business Day of the date of receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any Casualty Loss, such Loan Party shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f) in an amount equal to 100% of such proceeds (including condemnation awards and payments in lieu thereof) received by such Person in connection with such Casualty Loss; provided that, so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (B) Borrowers shall have given the Agents prior written notice of Borrowers’ intention to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such Casualty Loss or the cost of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Loan Parties, (C) the monies are held in a Deposit Account in which an Agent has a perfected first-priority security interest, and (D) the Loan Parties, as applicable, complete such replacement, purchase, or construction within 365 days after the initial receipt of such monies, then the Loan Party whose assets were the subject of such disposition shall have the option to apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the assets that are the subject of such Casualty Loss or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of such Loan Party unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement, purchase, or construction being made or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the Deposit Account referred to in clause (C) above shall be paid to the applicable Agent and applied in accordance with Section 2.4(f). After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) no settlement on account of any such Casualty Loss shall be made without the consent of the applicable Agent and (ii) each Agent may participate in any such proceedings and the Loan Parties will deliver to each Agent such documents as may be requested by such Agent to permit such participation and will consult with each Agent, its attorneys and agents in the making and prosecution of such claim or claims.

This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment

-92-

to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which any Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto.

13.	ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.

13.1. Assignments and Participations.

(a) With the prior written consent of Administrative Borrower, which consent of Administrative Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required (1) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (2) in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender; and with the prior written consent of US Agent (with respect to assignments of the US Obligations and US Commitments) or Canadian Agent (with respect to assignments of the Canadian Obligations and Canadian Commitments), as applicable, which consent of the applicable Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees so long as such prospective assignee is an Eligible Transferee (each, an “Assignee”; provided, however, that no Loan Party or Affiliate of a Loan Party of shall be permitted to become an Assignee) all or any portion of the Advances, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount (unless waived by the applicable Agent and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Borrower) of $5,000,000 or Cdn$5,000,000, as applicable

-95-

(except such minimum amount shall not apply to (x) an assignment or delegation by any Lender to any other Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other or a Related Fund of such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000 or Cdn$5,000,000, as applicable); provided, however, that Borrowers and Agents may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Administrative Borrower and the applicable Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Administrative Borrower and the applicable Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and such Agent has notified the assigning Lender of its receipt thereof in accordance with Section 13.1(b), and (iii) unless waived by the applicable Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to US Agent for US Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 or Canadian Agent, for Canadian Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of Cdn$3,500, as applicable.

(b) From and after the date that the applicable Agent notifies the assigning Lender (with a copy to Administrative Borrower) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, payment of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall be a “Lender” and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 10.3) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 15 and Section 17.9(a).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to

-96-

make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) Immediately upon the applicable Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers, Agents, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender (other than a waiver of default interest), or (E) decreases the amount or postpones the due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums payable to such Participant through such Lender, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation (except where applicable for the purposes of Section 16), except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or

-97-

any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agents, Borrowers, the Collections of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves.

(f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.9, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to any Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.

(g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

(h) US Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each Lender as the registered owner of the Commitments and Advances (and the principal amount of the Advances and stated interest thereon) held by such Lender (each, a “Registered Loan”). Other than in connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its portion of the Commitments to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender (i) a Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide) and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any evidencing the same), Borrowers shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of any assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Commitments to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain a register comparable to the Register.

(i) In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such Lender, as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Registered Loans that is subject to such participations) (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by

-98-

registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.

(j) US Agent shall make a copy of the Register (and each Lender shall make a copy of its Participant Register in the extent it has one) available for review by Borrowers from time to time as Borrowers may reasonably request.

(k) US Agent shall make a copy of those portions of the Register with respect to the Commitments and Advances held by a Lender available for review by such Lender from time to time as such Lender may reasonably request.

13.2. Successors.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders, unless expressly provided in such consent, shall release any Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 13.1 and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1, no consent or approval by any Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.

14.	AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

14.1. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than Bank Product Agreements or the Fee Letter), and no consent with respect to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the US Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and the Loan Parties that are party thereto and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders directly affected thereby and all of the Loan Parties that are party thereto, do any of the following:

(xi) amend, modify, or eliminate any of the provisions of Section 13.1(a) to permit a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party to be permitted to become an Assignee.

(b) No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or eliminate the definition of Borrowing Base, Canadian Borrowing Base or US Borrowing Base or any of the defined terms (including the definitions of US Transition Amount, US Eligible Accounts, Canadian Eligible Accounts, US Eligible Inventory and Canadian Eligible Inventory) that are used in such definition to the extent that any such change results in more credit being made available to Borrowers based upon the applicable Borrowing Base, but not otherwise, or the definitions of Canadian Maximum Revolver Amount or US Maximum Revolver Amount, without the written consent of such Borrowers and the Supermajority Lenders,

(c) No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive (i) the definition of, or any of the terms or provisions of, the Fee Letter, without the written consent of Agents and Borrowers (and shall not require the written consent of any of the Lenders), and (ii) any provision of Section 15 pertaining to either Agent, or any other rights or duties of either Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of Agents, Borrowers, and the Required Lenders,

-100-

(d) No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pertaining to either Issuing Lender, or any other rights or duties of either Issuing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of such Issuing Lender, Agents, Borrowers, and the Required Lenders,

(e) No amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pertaining to either Swing Lender, or any other rights or duties of either Swing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of such Swing Lender, Agents, Borrowers, and the Required Lenders,

(f) Anything in this Section 14.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) any amendment, modification, elimination, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of any Loan Party or otherwise impact any Loan Party in any adverse manner, shall not require consent by or the agreement of any Loan Party, and (ii) any amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be entered into without the consent of, or over the objection of, any Defaulting Lender.

14.2. Replacement of Certain Lenders.

(a) If (i) any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agents hereunder requires the consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders affected thereby and if such action has received the consent, authorization, or agreement of the Required Lenders but not of all Lenders affected thereby, or (ii) any Lender makes a claim for compensation under Section 16, then Borrowers or US Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently replace any Lender that failed to give its consent, authorization, or agreement (a “Holdout Lender”) or any Lender that made a claim for compensation (a “Tax Lender”) with one or more Replacement Lenders, and the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 30 Business Days after the date such notice is given.

(b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, being repaid in full its share of the outstanding Obligations (without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever, but including (i) all interest, fees and other amounts that may be due in payable in respect thereof, and (ii) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of participations in the Letters of Credit). If the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, US Agent may, but shall not be required to, execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance in

-101-

the name or and on behalf of the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and irrespective of whether US Agent executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance, the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1. Until such time as one or more Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s or Tax Lender’s, as applicable, Pro Rata Share of Advances and to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letters of Credit.

14.3. No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies.

No failure by either Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by either Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by either Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by either Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish either Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by each Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Each Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that either Agent or any Lender may have.

15.	AGENTS; THE LENDER GROUP.

15.1. Appointment and Authorization of Agent.

Each Lender hereby designates and appoints (i) WFCF as its US agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) WF Canada as its Canadian agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint, and authorize) each Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers) on the conditions contained in this Section 15. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, neither Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall either Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or Bank Product Provider), and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against either Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to either Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom,

-102-

and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) each Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that such Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to either Agent, Lenders agree that each Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as such Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as such Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.

15.2. Delegation of Duties.

Either Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.3. Liability of Agents.

None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by either Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or

-103-

its Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries.

15.4. Reliance by Agents.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless such Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, such Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If either Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders (and, if it so elects, the Bank Product Providers) against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and Bank Product Providers).

15.5. Notice of Default or Event of Default.

Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to such Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which such Agent has actual knowledge, unless such Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Each Agent promptly will notify each other Agent and the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which such Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and each Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.4, each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that unless and until such Agent has received any such request, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

-104-

15.6. Credit Decision.

Each Lender (and Bank Product Provider) acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by either Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider). Each Lender represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers. Each Lender also represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agents, neither Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that neither Agent has any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information with respect to any Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into such Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or such Bank Product Provider entered into a Bank Product Agreement).

15.7. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.

Each Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent such Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse Agents or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Each Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries received by such Agent to reimburse such

-105-

Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers). In the event either Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to such Agent such Lender’s ratable thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of either Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 15.7 shall not apply to Taxes governed by Section 16.

15.8. Agent in Individual Capacity.

WFCF, WF Canada and any of their Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though neither WFCF nor WF Canada were an Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, WFCF, WF Canada or any of their Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers), and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver each Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), neither Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include WFCF in its individual capacity and WF Canada in its individual capacity.

15.9. Successor Agents.

Either Agent may resign as an Agent upon 30 days prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Administrative Borrower (unless such notice is waived by Borrowers or an Event of Default exists) and without any notice

-106-

to the Bank Product Providers; provided, that if an Event of Default exists Agent shall notify Administrative Borrower on or before such resignation. If either Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Administrative Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a successor US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers). If, at the time that such Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as an Issuing Lender or a Swing Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as such Issuing Lender or such Swing Lender, as applicable, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, to cause the Canadian Underlying Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, or to make Swing Loans. If no successor to such Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of such Agent, such Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Administrative Borrower, a successor US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable. If such Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace such Agent with a successor US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, from among the Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “US Agent” or “Canadian Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as an Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as an Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

15.10. Lender in Individual Capacity.

Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with any Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group (or the Bank Product Providers). The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

-107-

15.11. Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) each Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrowers certify to such Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 (and each Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which no Borrower and no Subsidiary of Borrowers owned any interest at the time the applicable Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to any Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or subject to a Permitted Lien securing Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) each Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (a) consent to, credit bid or purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code including any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) credit bid or purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Code or the PPSA, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, or (c) credit bid or purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by such Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, the Obligations owed to the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not unduly delay the ability of such Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such claims cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of such Agent to credit bid, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the asset or assets purchased by means of such credit bid) and the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). Except as provided above, neither Agent will execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers), or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers). Upon request by either Agent or any Borrower at any time, the Lenders will (and if so requested, the Bank Product Providers will) confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 15.11;

-108-

provided, however, that (1) neither Agent shall be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in such Agent’s opinion, would expose such Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by any Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. The Lenders further hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) each Agent, in its sole discretion, to subordinate on terms and conditions satisfactory to such Agent any Lien granted to or held by such Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such Permitted Lien secures purchase money Indebtedness.

In connection with any termination or release authorized by this Section 15.11(a), the applicable Agent is further authorized to promptly: (i) execute and/or deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents reasonably requested by such Loan Party to evidence such termination or release and (ii) deliver to any such Loan Party any portion of such Collateral so terminated or released that is in the possession of any Agent.

(b) Neither Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (or the Bank Product Providers) to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower or its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that either Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof or whether to impose, maintain, reduce, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to each Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that neither Agent shall have any other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein.

15.12. Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of each Agent, following the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by either Agent, following the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against any Borrower or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

-109-

(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from either Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from either Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by such Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to the applicable Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to such Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

15.13. Agency for Perfection.

Each Agent hereby appoints each Lender (and each Bank Product Provider) as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to accept) such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting each Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code or in respect of the applicable provisions of the PPSA or the STA can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify US Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, thereof, and, promptly upon such Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to such Agent or in accordance with such Agent’s instructions.

15.14. Payments by Agents to the Lenders.

All payments to be made by either Agent to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to such Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, such Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.

15.15. Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents.

Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs each Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to agree) that any action taken by either Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by such Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and such Bank Product Provider).

-110-

15.16. Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information.

By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that each Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report respecting any Borrower or its Subsidiaries (each, a “Report”) prepared by or at the request of such Agent, and such Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither Agent (i) makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report,

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that an Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding a Borrower and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon each Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of each Borrower’s personnel,

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding each Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 17.9, and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold each Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold each Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by such Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of either Agent in writing that such Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries to such Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by any Borrower or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, such Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that either Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from any Borrower or such Subsidiary, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request such Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to such Agent, whereupon such Agent promptly shall request of such Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from such Borrower or its Subsidiaries, such Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to any Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, such Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

-111-

15.17. Several Obligations; No Liability.

Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of the US Agent or the Canadian Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of either Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 15.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to any Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender (or Bank Product Provider) to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on behalf of such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

16.	WITHHOLDING TAXES.

(a) All payments made by any Loan Party hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law. If any Indemnified Taxes are levied or imposed, the Loan Parties agree to deduct and withhold and to timely pay and remit the full amount of such Indemnified Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable laws and to pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16(a) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein. The Loan Parties will furnish to US Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Indemnified Tax is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Loan Parties.

(b) The Loan Parties agree to pay in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp, value added or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies (collectively, the “Other Taxes”) that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

-112-

(c) If a Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption or reduction from United States withholding tax, such Lender or Participant agrees with and in favor of US Agent, to deliver to US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) one of the following before receiving its first payment under this Agreement:

(i) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of the Lender or Participant, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of any Loan Party (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Loan Party within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments);

(ii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN;

(iii) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iv) if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because such Lender or Participant serves as an intermediary, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments); or

(v) a properly completed and executed copy of any other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax.

Each Lender or Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(d) If a payment made to a Lender or Participant under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to FATCA if such Lender or Participant were to fail to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender or Participant shall deliver to the US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) as may be necessary for the US Agent

-113-

(or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Participant has complied with such Lender’s or Participant’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(e) If a Lender or Participant claims an exemption from withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor of US Agent, to deliver to US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement, but only if such Lender or such Participant is legally able to deliver such forms. If any Lender or Participant is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any withholding or backup withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor of US Agent, to deliver to US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) any such form or forms, as may be reasonably requested by a Loan Party or US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation only) as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender or Participant, if requested by a Loan Party or US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only), shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Loan Party or US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation only), as will enable the Loan Party or US Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Participant is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Nothing in this Section 16(e) shall require a Lender or Participant to disclose any information that it deems to be confidential (including without limitation, its tax returns). Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify US Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(f) If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and such Lender or Participant sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender or Participant, such Lender or Participant agrees to notify Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a participation interest, to the Lender granting the participation only) of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender or Participant. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s or such Participant’s documentation provided pursuant to Section 16(c) or 16(d) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, such Participant or Assignee may provide new documentation, pursuant to Section 16(c) or 16(d), if applicable. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 16 with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth in this Section 16 with respect thereto.

(g) If a Lender or a Participant is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation)

-114-

may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 16(c) or 16(d) are not delivered to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), then Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

(h) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that either Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any Participant due to a failure on the part of the Lender or any Participant (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify such Agent (or such Participant failed to notify the Lender granting the participation) of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold each Agent and their respective its affiliates, officers, agents and employees harmless (or, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall indemnify and hold the Lender granting the participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent and its affiliates, officers, agents and employees (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) under this Section 16, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders and the Participants under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

(i) If an Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, acting in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which the Loan Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to the Loan Parties (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 16 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such a refund); provided, that the Loan Parties, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent hereunder) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 16 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person or to arrange its affairs in any manner other than it thinks fit and, in particular, no Agent or Lender shall be under any obligation to claim relief for tax purposes or to claim such relief in priority to other claims, credits or deductions.

-115-

(j) If a Loan Party fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authorities or fails to remit to an Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other documentary evidence of the payment of the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Indemnified Person (as defined in Section 10.3) and its agents (collectively, a “Tax Indemnitee”) for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes arising in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 16) paid by such Tax Indemnitee and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification, as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought, and whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, provided, however, the Loan Party shall not be required to compensate any such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes solely resulting from such Tax Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date the applicable Agent or the relevant Lender makes written demand for it. Tax Indemnitee shall deliver a certificate containing reasonable detail as to the amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes submitted to a Loan Party by an Agent or the relevant Lender which shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from such Loan Party to such Agent or such Lender. This Section 16(j) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.

17.	GENERAL PROVISIONS.

17.1. Effectiveness.

This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by each Loan Party, each Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof.

17.2. Section Headings.

Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

17.3. Interpretation.

Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or any Loan Party, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

-116-

17.4. Severability of Provisions.

Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

17.5. Bank Product Providers.

Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom either Agent is acting. US Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for each US Bank Product Provider and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable US Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed US Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each US Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such US Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to US Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. Canadian Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for each Canadian Bank Product Provider and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Canadian Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Canadian Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Canadian Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Canadian Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Canadian Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that each Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of either Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, each Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to the applicable Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by such Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. Neither Agent shall have any obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, each Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to such Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Any Borrower may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although no Borrower is required to do so. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights

-117-

hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors.

17.6. Debtor-Creditor Relationship.

The relationship between the Lenders and Agents, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

17.7. Counterparts; Electronic Execution.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

17.8. Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations.

If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by any Borrower or Guarantor or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property should for any reason subsequently be asserted, or declared, to be void or voidable under any state, federal or other applicable law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the advice of counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Borrowers or Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

17.9. Confidentiality.

(a) Agents and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that non-public information regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, their

-118-

operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by Agents and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agents and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the Lender Group and to employees, directors and officers of any member of the Lender Group (the Persons in this clause (i), “Lender Group Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group (including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.9, (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (iv) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation; provided that (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (iv), the disclosing party agrees to provide Administrative Borrower with prior notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation and (y) any disclosure under this clause (iv) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by Borrowers, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena, applicable law or other legal process, provided, that, (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (vi) the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrowers with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior written notice to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of the subpoena, applicable law or other legal process and (y) any disclosure under this clause (vi) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process, (vii) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agents or the Lenders or the Lender Group Representatives), (viii) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that prior to receipt of Confidential Information any such assignee, participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such Confidential Information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, that, prior to any disclosure to any Person (other than any Loan Party, either Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel) under this clause (ix) with respect to litigation involving any Person (other than any Borrower, either Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel), the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrowers with prior written notice thereof, and (x) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.

(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent may (i) provide information concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services, and (ii) use the name, logos, and other insignia of Borrowers and Loan Parties and the Total Commitments provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing materials of such Agent.

-119-

17.10. Lender Group Expenses.

Borrowers agree to pay the Lender Group Expenses on the date on which demand therefor is made by either Agent. Borrowers agree that their respective obligations contained in this Section 17.10 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.

17.11. Survival.

All 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 Agent, the Issuing Lender, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

17.12. Patriot Act.

Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if Agent is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and each Borrower agrees to reasonably cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute Lender Expenses hereunder and be for the account of Borrowers.

17.13. Anti-Money Laundering.

(a) Each Canadian Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the AML Legislation, the Lenders and the Agents may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding each Canadian Loan Party, its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of each Canadian Loan Party, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Canadian Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of a Lender or an Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

-120-

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

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

17.14. Integration.

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all Bank Product Agreements, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Bank Product Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of any credit extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Bank Product Agreement.

17.15. Coleman Cable as Agent for Borrowers.

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Coleman Cable as the attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers and each US Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Coleman Cable as the borrowing agent for all US Borrowers (in each such capacity, the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until US Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (a) to provide US Agent with all notices with respect to US Advances and US Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any US Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement, and (b) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain US Advances and US Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loan Accounts and Collateral in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender Group shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Accounts and the Collateral in a combined

-121-

fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Lender Group to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender Group harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender Group by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Accounts and Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, or (b) the Lender Group’s relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, except that Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person under this Section 17.15 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person, as the case may be.

17.16. Determinations; Judgment Currency.

(a) This is an international financial transaction in which the specification of a currency and payment is of the essence. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, shall be the currency of account in the case of all payments pursuant to or arising under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, and all such payments shall be made to the applicable Agent’s Account in immediately available funds. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligations of each Borrower to Agents and the Lenders under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents shall not be discharged by any amount paid in any other currency or in any other manner than to the applicable Agent’s Account to the extent that the amount so paid after conversion under this Agreement and transfer to the applicable Agent’s Account, as applicable, does not yield the amount of Dollars with respect to US Obligations or Canadian Dollars with respect to Canadian Obligations owing to Lenders due under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents. If, for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing judgment against Borrowers in any court in any jurisdiction in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under this Agreement or any Loan Document in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding (a) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any jurisdiction that would give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or (b) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 17.16 being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in subsection (a) above, there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Borrowers shall pay such additional amount (if any and in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. The term “rate of

-122-

exchange” in this Section means the spot rate of exchange at which US Agent would, on the relevant date at or about 10:30 a.m. (New York time), be prepared to sell Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, against the Judgment Currency.

(c) Any amount due from Borrowers under this Section 17.16 shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Agent or any Lender from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or under any judgment or order.

(d) Where any amount is denominated in Dollars under this Agreement but requires for its determination an amount which is determined in another currency, US Agent shall determine the applicable exchange rate in its sole Permitted Discretion. Where any amount is denominated in Canadian Dollars under this Agreement but requires for its determination an amount which is determined in another currency, Canadian Agent shall determine the applicable exchange rate in its sole Permitted Discretion.

“Applicable Unused Line Margin” means, as of any date of determination (with respect to the calculation of the fees payable to US Agent, for the ratable account of those Lenders with US Revolver Commitments, and Canadian Agent, for the ratable account of those Lenders with Canadian Revolver Commitments, respectively, under Section 2.10(b) and (c)), the applicable margin set forth in the following table that corresponds to the average daily Excess Availability calculation for the most recently ended fiscal quarter delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Agreement (the “Quarterly Excess Availability Calculation”); provided, however, that for the period from the Closing Date through the date Agent receives the Quarterly Excess Availability Calculation in respect of the testing period ending September 30, 2011, the Applicable Unused Line Margin shall be at the margin in the row styled “Level III”:


Level	Quarterly Excess Availability Calculation	Base Rate Margin

I	If the Quarterly Excess Availability Calculation is less than or equal to $30,000,000	0.50 percentage points

Borrowers fail to provide such certification when such certification is due, the Applicable Unused Line Margin shall be set at the margin in the row styled “Level I” as of the first day of the month following the date on which the certification was required to be delivered until the date on which such certification is delivered (on which date (but not retroactively), without constituting a waiver of any Default or Event of Default occasioned by the failure to timely deliver such certification, the Applicable Unused Line Margin shall be set at the margin based upon the calculations disclosed by such certification). In the event that the information regarding the Quarterly Excess Availability Calculation contained in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Agreement is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher or lower Applicable Unused Line Margin for any period (an “Applicable Unused Line Period”) than the Applicable Unused Line Margin actually applied for such Applicable Unused Line Period, then (i) Borrowers shall immediately deliver to US Agent a correct certificate for such Applicable Unused Line Period, (ii) the Applicable Unused Line Margin shall be determined as if the correct Applicable Unused Line Margin (as set forth in the table above) were applicable for such Applicable Unused Line Period, and (iii) Borrowers shall immediately deliver to the applicable Agent, for the ratable account of those Lenders with a US Revolver Commitment or a Canadian Revolver Commitment, as applicable, full payment in respect of the accrued additional unused line fees as a result of such increased Applicable Unused Line Margin for such Applicable Unused Line Period or, as applicable, the applicable Agent shall establish a credit for the Borrowers in an amount equal to the excess unused line fees paid by the Borrowers to a Lender that shall be credited to future unused line fee payments to such Lender (but only so long as such Lender’s Revolver Commitment has not changed during the Applicable Unused Line Period).

THIS COLLATERAL ACCESS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), executed and delivered as of this day of , , by and among [ ] (“Landlord”), [ ] (“Company”), and [WELLS FARGO CAPITAL FINANCE, LLC, in its capacity as US agent] [WELLS FARGO CAPITAL FINANCE CORPORATION CANADA, in its capacity as Canadian agent] (“Agent”) for certain financial institutions (“Lenders”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, Agent, Lenders, Company and certain affiliates of Company are entering, and may from time to time hereafter enter, into various agreements, instruments and documents (collectively the “Loan Documents”) providing for Lenders to make or cause to be made certain financial accommodations for the benefit of Company; and

WHEREAS, to secure payment and performance of all of Company’s obligations and liabilities to Lenders under the Loan Documents (the “Obligations”), Lenders have required that Company grant to Agent a security interest in all of Company’s existing and hereafter acquired property, including without limitation, cash, cash equivalents, goods, inventory, machinery, equipment, and furniture and trade fixtures (such as equipment bolted to floors), together with all additions, substitutions, replacements and improvements to, and proceeds of, the foregoing, but excluding building fixtures (such as plumbing, lighting and HVAC systems) (collectively, such property, other than the excluded building fixtures, the “Collateral”); and

WHEREAS, all or some of the Collateral is now or from time to time hereafter may be located at the premises known as [ ] (the “Premises”) and legally described on Exhibit A hereto, which Premises are owned and leased by Landlord to Company pursuant to a certain [Lease] dated , (said Lease, together with any and all renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications, substitutions, and replacements thereof, being hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to making loans or advances under the Loan Documents, Lenders have required Landlord to execute and deliver this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby covenants and agrees with Agent and Lenders as follows:

1. Estoppel. Landlord hereby certifies, as of the date hereof, that (a) the Lease is in full force and effect, (b) the Lease has not been modified, supplemented or amended in any way, and (c) there is no default by Company in the performance of any of its obligations under the Lease, and there is no fact or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would become a default.

2. Default Under the Lease. Landlord agrees to provide Agent with (a) a copy of any cancellation, amendment, consent, or waiver under the Lease, and (b) written notice of any default by Company under the Lease (a “Default Notice”) at the same time as it sends such notice to Company; provided, that (i) Agent shall have at least thirty (30) days following receipt of such Default Notice to cure such default before the Lease terminates, and (ii) Agent shall not be under any obligation to cure any default by Company under the Lease. No action by Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to be an assumption by Agent of any obligation under the Lease, and Agent shall not have any obligation to Landlord.

3. Personal Property. Landlord agrees that the Collateral is and shall remain personal property notwithstanding the manner or mode of the attachment of any item of Collateral to the Premises, and is not, and shall not become, or be deemed to be, fixtures.

4. Right of Access. Agent may have access to the Premises at any time during normal business hours for the purpose of inspecting, appraising, repossessing, removing, preparing for sale, advertising, displaying, selling (including conducting “going out of business” sales), disposing or otherwise dealing with the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents without objection, delay, hindrance or interference by Landlord; provided that if the “Access Termination Date” (as defined below) has occurred, Agent’s right to access the Premises under this Agreement shall be subject to the following: (i) such access period shall commence when Agent provides written notice to Landlord of its election to access the Premises as provided above and shall terminate no later than 120 days following the Access Termination Date (such notice by Agent, the “Access Notice”; such period commencing on delivery of such Access Notice and ending 120 days following the Access Termination Date, the “Access Period”), and (ii) during the Access Period (which period of access may be terminated by Agent at any time), Agent will pay to Landlord an access fee for each day during such Access Period equal to the “Per Diem Fee” (as defined below). The access fee shall be payable monthly in advance based on the number of days in a month during such Access Period that Agent estimates for access with a settlement at the end of such month for the actual days of access. “Access Termination Date” means the date Agent receives written certification from Landlord that the Lease has been terminated and Company has no right of access to the Premises. “Per Diem Fee” means, for any day of a month during the Access Period, the current, non-default basic rent due for such month under the Lease (exclusive of past due rent or charges), divided by 30. Agent shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of any repair of any physical injury to the Premises caused by Agent’s removal of the Collateral but Agent shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Premises caused by the absence of Collateral actually removed or by any necessity of replacing the Collateral. Under no circumstances shall Agent be liable for any past due rent owing by Company to Landlord. The right of access provided in this Section 4 is a contractual right granted by Landlord to Agent and is not intended to limit Agent’s rights, if any, to obtain access to the Premises in any other manner provided under applicable law.

5. Waiver. Landlord waives each and every right which Landlord now has or hereafter may have, under the laws of the State in which the Premises are located, or by virtue of the Lease, or by virtue of Company’s occupation of the Premises, to levy or distrain upon, for rent, in

-2-

arrears, in advance or both or for any monetary obligation arising by reason of default under the Lease, or to claim or assert any lien, security interest, right, claim or title to any or all of the Collateral, which now or hereafter may be, or may be installed, on said Premises. Agent and Landlord hereby agree that the provisions of this Section 5 are made in favor, and shall inure to the benefit, of only Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and to no other persons.

6. Continued Effectiveness. Agent and Lenders may, without affecting the validity of this Agreement, extend, amend or in any way modify the terms of the Loan Documents. This Agreement shall continue in force until all of Company’s obligations and liabilities to Agent and Lenders are paid and satisfied in full and all obligations of Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents have been terminated. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Agent and Lenders and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Landlord and Company.

7. Notices. All notices given under this Agreement shall be sent either by U.S. Mail, postage prepaid, certified, return receipt requested, or by Federal Express or other overnight courier service, at the following address:
