The Administrative Agent shall determine the US Dollar Equivalent of all Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars as of the date of any Borrowing Request, as of the date of the delivery of any Borrowing Base Certificate, as of the date of each Interest Election Request in respect thereof (or, if an Interest Election Request has not been made within three months since the last date of determination, the three month anniversary of the last date of determination) and as of any date determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case using the Exchange Rate

for such currency in relation to US Dollars in effect on the date that is two Business Days prior to the applicable date, and each such amount shall, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section, be the US Dollar Equivalent of such Borrowing until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this sentence. The Administrative Agent shall determine the US Dollar Equivalent of all Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars as of the date any Letter of Credit is requested pursuant to Section 2.05(b), a request is made to amend any Letter of Credit to increase its face amount or to extend such Letter of Credit or such Letter of Credit is paid by the Issuing Bank, as of the date of the delivery of any Borrowing Base Certificate and as of any date determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case using the Exchange Rate for such currency in relation to US Dollars in effect on the date that is two Business Days prior to such date, as the case may be, and each such amount shall, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section, be the US Dollar Equivalent of such Letter of Credit until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this sentence. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders of each calculation of the US Dollar Equivalent of each Borrowing. Borrowings of the applicable Class denominated in Canadian Dollars will reduce availability for Borrowings of such Class denominated in US Dollars based on the Exchange Rate with respect to Canadian Dollars at the time in effect for each such Borrowing. For purposes of (x) determining the Borrowing Base or (y) any dollar basket limitation in Sections 5.08(a)(viii), (b)(viii) and (ix), Sections 5.10(i), (j) and (k), Sections 5.13(e) and (f) and Section 5.17(a), the amount of any component of the Borrowing Base or any amount of Indebtedness, Investment, or Lien, applicable, in currencies other than US Dollars shall be translated into US Dollars at currency exchange rates in effect on the date of such determination, and, solely in the case of clause (y), such limitation or cap therein shall not be deemed to have been exceeded if such excess amount is solely as a result of currency fluctuations occurring after the time such Indebtedness, Investment or Lien is incurred or made.

Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any letter of credit application or any other document, agreement or instrument entered into by the applicable Issuing Bank and any Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

SECTION 1.07.   Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.08.   Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in US Dollars or Canadian Dollars may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administration, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.13(b), such Section 2.13(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 2.13(d), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Rate Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or “CDOR Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or the CDOR Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the LIBO Screen Rate or the CDO Screen Rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

Advances pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including nonsatisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph). Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Company (or other Person on behalf of the Company) in respect of a Protective Advance after receipt by the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph to the extent of their interests therein; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Administrative Agent if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to a Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Protective Advance pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to repay such Protective Advance.

SECTION 2.05.   Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, a Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit of any Class that provides for the issuance of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period, which Letter of Credit may be denominated in (x) in the case of the Company and BBWC, US Dollars and (y) in the case of BBWC, Canadian Dollars. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) Letters of Credit may be issued to support obligations of Subsidiaries of the Borrowers as well as the Borrowers; (ii) Letters of Credit issued to support obligations of a Subsidiary may state that they are issued for such Subsidiary’s account, and the applicable Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries; and (iii) regardless of any such statement in any Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower is the “account party” in respect of all Letters of Credit issued at its request and will be responsible for reimbursement of LC Disbursements as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that, except as separately agreed between such Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower, no Issuing Bank shall have an obligation hereunder to issue any Letter of Credit.

(b)   Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit of any Class (or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit of any Class), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing

so have been approved by the relevant Issuing Bank) to the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit of such Class, or identifying the Letter of Credit of such Class to be amended or extended, and specifying the name of the requesting Borrower, the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the Class and amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be denominated (which shall be a currency in which the requesting Borrower is entitled to make Borrowings of such Class under this Agreement), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the relevant Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000, (ii) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank will not exceed such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment, (iii) no Lender’s Credit Exposure of the applicable Class shall exceed its Commitment of such Class, (iv) the total Credit Exposures of the applicable Class shall not exceed the total Commitments of such Class or any other limitation set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, (v) the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Maximum Borrowing Amount and (vi) the total Credit Exposures denominated in Canadian Dollars shall not exceed the CAD Sublimit.

(c)   Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension thereof, one year after such extension); provided that a Letter of Credit may be subject to customary “evergreen” provisions pursuant to which the expiration date thereof shall be automatically extended for a period of up to one year (subject to clause (ii) of this sentence) unless notice to the contrary shall have been given by any Issuing Bank in respect thereof by a specified date, and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d)   Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit of any Class (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit of any Class increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the relevant Issuing Bank or the Lenders of such Class, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender of such Class, and each Lender of such Class hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage with respect to such Class of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, subject to any LC Exposure Reallocation. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender of any Class hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of such Class of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit of such Class and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the

date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason, subject to any LC Exposure Reallocation. Each Lender of any applicable Class acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit of such Class is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any such Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)   Reimbursement. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any Class of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Company, the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. The applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the currency in which such LC Disbursement was made not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next Business Day after the date that the applicable Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing of the applicable Class in an equivalent amount, and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable Class of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof (subject to any LC Exposure Reallocation). Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender of the applicable Class shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage (subject to any LC Exposure Reallocation) of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender and in the applicable currency (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and within the same timeframe as provided after a request for a Borrowing in Section 2.03, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders of such Class. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders of the applicable Class have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR or Canadian Prime Rate Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)    Obligations Absolute. The applicable Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance

with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other term or provision in this Agreement, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, special, indirect and punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the applicable Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or such Issuing Bank’s failure to make an LC Disbursement under a Letter of Credit upon presentation to it of documents strictly complying with such Letter of Credit. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)   Disbursement Procedures. Any Issuing Bank shall, within the period of time stipulated by the terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. After such examination, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the applicable Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)   Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the later of (i) the date when such LC Disbursement is made and (ii) the date upon which such Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement pursuant to paragraph (g) above (such later date, the “Interest Commencement Date”), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the Interest Commencement Date to but excluding the date that reimbursement of such LC Disbursement is due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, at the rate provided in Section 2.12 with respect to (x) in the case of LC Disbursements denominated in US Dollars, ABR Loans and (y) in the case of LC Disbursements denominated in Canadian Dollars, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and, if not so reimbursed on the date due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then from and including such date so due to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate provided in Section 2.12(g) with respect to such Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)   Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company and the successor Issuing Bank. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the Lenders of any such replacement of any Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees payable by the applicable Borrowers that have accrued for the account of any replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j)   Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or a majority in interest of the Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, each applicable Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders of each applicable Class, an amount in cash equal to the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to outstanding Letters of Credit of such Class issued for the account of such Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, which shall be deposited in the applicable currencies; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall

become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (e) of Section 6.01. The applicable Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.19(a). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the applicable Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall (i) in the case of cash collateral deposited pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.05(j), accumulate in such account and (ii) in the case of cash collateral deposited pursuant to Section 2.19(a), be remitted to the applicable Borrower promptly by the Administrative Agent unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Cash collateral deposited by any Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.05(j) (and interest and profits in respect thereof accumulated in such account pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit of the applicable Class issued for the account of such Borrower for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of such Borrower for the LC Exposure relating to Letters of Credit of such Class issued for the account of such Borrower that are outstanding at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure and, in the case of cash collateral required by Section 2.19(a), the consent of the Issuing Banks with outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. Cash collateral deposited pursuant to Section 2.19(a) in respect of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the applicable Class of any LC Disbursements of such Class for which it has not been reimbursed. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or pursuant to Section 2.19(a), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or such amount is no longer required in order to comply with Section 2.19(a) (and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), as applicable.

(k)   Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank when a Letter of Credit is issued (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit that is a standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each Letter of Credit that is a commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Borrower for, and the Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank with respect to its obligations under a Letter of Credit expressly required under any

law, order, or practice that is expressly required to be applied to such Letter of Credit, including the law of a jurisdiction, or any order of a Governmental Authority of a jurisdiction, where the Issuing Bank or the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or, unless expressly provided otherwise by the terms of such Letter of Credit, the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice applicable to letters of credit of the same type as such Letter of Credit, whether or not any Letter of Credit expressly provides that it is governed by such law or practice.

SECTION 2.06.   Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) in the case of CDOR Rate Loans and ABR Loans by 12:00 noon, New York City time, (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans by 12:00 noon, London time and (iii) in the case of Canadian Prime Rate loans, 3:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Protective Advances shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that (i) ABR or Canadian Prime Rate Loans made to finance (A) the repayment of a Protective Advance as provided in Section 2.04(a) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent for such purpose and (B) the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) the proceeds of any Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and applied, on behalf of the Company, for the purpose for which such Protective Advance has been made.

(b)   Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (or, in the case of a Borrowing that is being made on same-day notice, prior to the time at which such Borrowing is required to be funded) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars and (y) the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost of funding such amount, in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent

in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the greater of the interest rate applicable to the Loans of the other Lenders included in the applicable Borrowing and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to equal its cost of funds for funding such amount. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07.   Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)   To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrower may (i) change the currency of any Borrowing or (ii) elect an Interest Period that does not comply with Section 2.03.

(c)   Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03:

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

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

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

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

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

(d)   Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each participating Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)   If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to (x) in the case of a Loan denominated in US Dollars, an ABR Borrowing and (y) in the case of a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08.   Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments; Incremental Revolving Commitments. (a)  (i) Upon consummation of the VS Transaction, the Commitments shall be automatically reduced on a ratable basis by an aggregate amount equal to $200,000,000 and (ii) unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b)   The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or, in each case, the US Dollar Equivalent thereof at any such time, (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments or the Commitments of any other Class if after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans or Protective Advances in accordance with Section 2.10 and, if applicable, reimbursement of LC Disbursements in accordance with Section 2.05(e), (A) the total Revolving Exposures or total Credit Exposures of any other Class, as applicable, would exceed the total Revolving Commitments or the total Commitments of such Class, as applicable, or (B) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the Maximum Borrowing Amount and (iii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10 and, if applicable, reimbursement of LC Disbursements in accordance with Section 2.05(e), the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

(c)   The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents

thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class (other than a termination of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c)) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(d)   So long as no Event of Default is continuing or would result therefrom, the Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Company and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being called an “Increasing Lender”), which may include any Lender, as such Lender elects or declines in its sole discretion, cause Commitments of the Increasing Lenders of any Class to become effective (or, in the case of an Increasing Lender that is an existing Lender, cause its Commitment in respect of any Class to be increased, as the case may be) in an amount for each Increasing Lender set forth in such notice; provided that (i) the aggregate amount of all Commitments hereunder, after giving effect to new Commitments, increases in existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph and all Incremental Revolving Commitments, shall not exceed (x) prior to the consummation of the VS Transaction, $1,250,000,000 and (y) following the consummation of the VS Transaction, $1,000,000,000, (ii) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (iii) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed accession agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company. New Commitments and increases in Commitments pursuant to this Section shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notices delivered pursuant to this Section. Following any extension of a new Commitment in respect of any Class or increase of a Lender’s Commitment in respect of any Class pursuant to this paragraph, any Loans of such Class outstanding prior to the effectiveness of such increase or extension shall continue outstanding until the ends of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto, and shall then be repaid or refinanced with new Loans of such Class made pursuant to Section 2.01. Following any increase in the Commitments of any Class pursuant to this paragraph, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that, to the extent there are outstanding Loans of such Class, each Lender’s outstanding Loans of such Class will be in accordance with such Lender’s pro rata portion of the Commitments of such Class.

(e)   In addition, so long as no Event of Default is continuing or would result therefrom, the Company may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment of Incremental Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) Incremental Revolving Loans are to be denominated only in US Dollars and Canadian Dollars, (ii) the aggregate amount of all the Incremental

Revolving Commitments then being requested shall not be less than $25,000,000 or the US Dollar Equivalent thereof at any such time and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Commitments hereunder, after giving effect to new Commitments pursuant to this paragraph and the immediately preceding paragraph (and any concurrent reduction in any Class of Commitments pursuant to Section 2.08(b)), shall not exceed (x) prior to the consummation of the VS Transaction, $1,250,000,000 and (y) following the consummation of the VS Transaction, $1,000,000,000. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date on which the Company proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, (B) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments being requested and (C) the Borrower(s) or Additional Borrower(s), as applicable (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment and (y) any Person that the Company proposes to become an Incremental Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee and must be approved by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank in respect of the Class of such Incremental Revolving Commitments (such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld)).

(f)    The Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the Company, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments, each Issuing Bank designated therein to issue Letters of Credit under such Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Administrative Agent. Each Incremental Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Revolving Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section with respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments. The Incremental Revolving Loans will have terms and conditions substantially identical to the Revolving Loans (other than with respect to pricing and maturity) and will otherwise be on terms and subject to conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)   Each Incremental Facility Agreement shall specify the terms of the Incremental Revolving Loans to be made thereunder; provided that without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Loans, (i) the Incremental Revolving Loans shall mature no earlier than (and shall not require any mandatory commitment reductions prior to) the Maturity Date, (ii) the Incremental Revolving Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Loans (which, at the Company’s option, may be part of a tranche of “first in, last out” term loans or revolving commitments subject to customary terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (iii) if the interest rate spread applicable to any Incremental Revolving Loans denominated in US Dollars (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees and any pricing “floor” applicable to the Incremental Revolving Loans, but excluding any underwriting, arrangement, structuring or similar fees that are not generally shared with the Lenders (collectively, “Upfront Payments”), in each case paid to the Incremental Lenders in respect of the Incremental Revolving Commitments) exceeds (x) in cases other than in respect of “first

in, last out” facilities, the interest rate spread applicable to Loans of another Class denominated in US Dollars (taking into account any Upfront Payments paid in respect of Loans of such other Classes) by more than 0.50%, then the interest rate spread applicable to the Loans of such other Class denominated in US Dollars shall be increased so it equals the interest rate applicable to such Incremental Revolving Loans less 0.50% and (y) in the case of any “first in, last out” facility, the interest rate spread exceeds the interest rate spread applicable to Loans of another Class denominated in US Dollars (taking into account any Upfront Payments paid in respect of Loans of such other Classes) by more than 1.50%, then the interest rate spread applicable to the Loans of such other Class denominated in US Dollars shall be increased so it equals the interest rate applicable to such “first in, last out” facility less 1.50%.

SECTION 2.09.   Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The applicable Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

(b)   Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the applicable Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

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

(d)   The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)   Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 8.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (and its registered assigns).

(f)    On each Business Day while a Cash Dominion Period is in effect, the Administrative Agent shall apply any and all funds credited to the ABL Collection Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (in the Permitted Discretion of the Administrative Agent), first, to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, second, to prepay the Borrowings and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and, third, to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure in the manner provided in Section 2.05(j) (to the extent such LC Exposure shall not have been theretofore cash collateralized in accordance with such Section). The Borrowers hereby direct the Administrative Agent to apply the funds credited to the ABL Collection Account as set forth above and authorize the Administrative Agent to determine the order of application of such funds as among the individual Protective Advances or Borrowings and unreimbursed LC Disbursements. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing. For the avoidance of doubt, funds used to prepay Borrowings or unreimbursed LC Disbursements may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

SECTION 2.10.   Prepayment of Loans. (a)  The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. In the event and on such occasion that (i) the total Revolving Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, (ii) the total Credit Exposures of any other Class exceeds the total Commitments of such Class or (iii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the sum of (1) the Borrowing Base then in effect and (2) the Protective Advance Exposures and (B) the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, the Company shall, on the third Business Day after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent has been delivered to the Company, first, prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding and, second, prepay such outstanding Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class as the Company may elect in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such excess; provided that if the total Credit Exposures of any Class exceeds the total Commitments of such Class solely as a result of currency fluctuations, the Company shall not be required to prepay the excess until such time as the total Credit Exposures of such Class exceeds 105% of the total Commitments of such Class, in which case such excess shall be paid on the third Business Day after notice from the Administrative Agent is delivered to the Company.

(b)   At any time when the Aggregate Credit Exposure is greater than zero and the Consolidated Cash Balance exceeds $350,000,000, the Company shall, within three Business Days, use the amount of such excess, first, to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, second, to prepay the Borrowings and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and, third, to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure in the manner provided in Section 2.05(j) (to the extent such LC Exposure shall not have been theretofore cash collateralized in accordance with such Section). Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment.

(c)   The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of

prepayment of a Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and the applicable currency of such Borrowing; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the participating Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Class and Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing (other than a prepayment of the Loans of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c)) shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.11.   Fees. (a)  The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee in US Dollars, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Maturity Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Protective Advance Exposures of such Lender shall constitute unused Commitments for such purpose).

(b)   Each Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender of any Class a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit of such Class issued for the account of such Borrower, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the LC Exposure of such Class (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements of such Class) during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure of such Class, and (ii) to the relevant Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the applicable Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the daily amount of the portion of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which

there ceases to be any LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable by any Borrower to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). In addition to the fees referred to above, each Issuing Bank (i) may collect customary drawing fees from beneficiaries of Letters of Credit issued by it and (ii) may require that Letters of Credit issued by it contain customary provisions for such drawing fees.

(c)   The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the account of the initial Lenders, fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent.

(d)   All fees payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be paid in US Dollars on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the relevant Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable by the Borrowers to it) for distribution to the parties entitled thereto. Fees paid by the Borrowers shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12.   Interest. (a)  The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing and each Protective Advance shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

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

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

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

(e)   [Reserved.]

(f)    [Reserved.]

(g)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the applicable Borrower hereunder is not

paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(h)   (i) For so long as any Lender maintains reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” (or any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender to United States residents), and as a result the cost to such Lender (or its lending office for Eurodollar Loans) of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans is increased, then such Lender may require the applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on any Eurodollar Loan of such Lender, additional interest on such Eurodollar Loan for the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan at a rate per annum up to but not exceeding the excess of (A) (x) the applicable LIBO Rate divided by (y) one minus the Statutory Reserve Percentage over (B) the rate specified in the preceding clause (x).

(ii)    Any Lender wishing to require payment of additional interest (x) shall so notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall be payable to such Lender at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall furnish to the applicable Borrower at least five Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Eurodollar Loans an officer’s certificate setting forth the amount to which such Lender is then entitled under this Section (which shall be consistent with such Lender’s good-faith estimate of the level at which the related reserves are maintained by it). Each such certificate shall be accompanied by such information as the applicable Borrower may reasonably request as to the computation set forth therein.

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

(j)   All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at

times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and (ii) interest on Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars shall each be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, CDOR Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(l)   If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate any Canadian Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lenders under this Section, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lenders shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Canadian Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Lenders in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Lenders to the Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the closing date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

SECTION 2.13.   Alternate Rate of Interest. (a)  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Borrowing:

(i)   the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the CDOR Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate (including because the LIBO Screen Rate or the CDO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter, but not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time, or in the case of a CDOR Rate Borrowing, New York City time) on the first day of such Interest Period, and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, an affected Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, (B) any affected Eurodollar Borrowing that is requested to be continued shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (C) any affected CDOR Rate Borrowing that is requested to be continued shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (D) if any Borrowing Request requests an affected Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Borrowing, then, unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (London time, or in the case of a CDOR Rate Borrowing, New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall (1) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, be deemed a request for an ABR Borrowing or (2) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, be deemed a request for a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing.

(b)   If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section have arisen (including because the CDO Screen Rate or LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section have not arisen but either (A) the supervisor for the administrator of the CDO Screen Rate or LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the CDO Screen Rate or LIBO Screen Rate, as applicable, is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the CDO Screen Rate or LIBO Screen Rate, as applicable), (B) the supervisor for the administrator or the administrator of the CDO Screen Rate or LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the CDO Screen Rate or LIBO Screen Rate, as applicable, will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the CDO Screen Rate or LIBO Screen Rate, as applicable) or (C) the supervisor for the administrator of

the CDO Screen Rate or LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the CDO Screen Rate or LIBO Screen Rate, as applicable, may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans denominated in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall endeavor in good faith to establish an alternate rate of interest to the CDOR Rate or LIBO Rate, as the case may be, that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention in the United States for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans denominated in the applicable currency at such time, and the Administrative Agent and the Company shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest, any adjusted margins and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (it being understood that such amendment shall not reduce the Applicable Rate); provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.02 or Section 8.02A, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date a copy of such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii)(A), (ii)(B) or (ii)(C) of the first sentence of this paragraph (b), only to the extent the CDO Screen Rate or LIBO Screen Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis or such rate is not permitted to be used for determining interest rates for loans, as applicable), clauses (A) through (C) of paragraph (a) of this Section shall be applicable.

SECTION 2.14.   Increased Costs. (a)  If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii)    impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London or Canadian interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (other than an imposition or change in Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or Excluded Taxes, or any Change in Law relating to capital or liquidity requirements or the rate of return on capital, with respect to which Section 2.16 and paragraph (b) of this Section, respectively, shall apply);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining, or reduce the amount receivable by any Lender with respect to, any Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or Protective Advance, then the Company will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or

amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c)   A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

(d)   Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15.   Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar or CDOR 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 Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar or CDOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar or CDOR Rate other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the

applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event which, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such Lender (or an existing or prospective participant in a related Loan) incurred, including any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16.   Taxes. (a) Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

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

(c)   The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient within 15 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Recipient on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, that the Loan Parties shall not be obligated to make payment to such Recipient for penalties, interest or expenses attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Recipient. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Loan Party by a Recipient, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of another Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)   Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth and explaining in reasonable detail

the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(f)    (A) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the United States of America, or any treaty to which the United States of America is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of any Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption) either (a) two properly executed originals of Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms) prescribed by the IRS or other documents satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, certifying (i) that all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under the Loan Documents are exempt from United States withholding Taxes because such payments are effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender of a trade or business within the United States and are included in such Lender’s gross income or (ii) that all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under the Loan Documents are completely exempt from Taxes or are subject to such Taxes at a reduced rate by an applicable Tax treaty, (b)(i) a certificate executed by such Lender certifying that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and that such Lender qualifies for the portfolio interest exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, and (ii) two properly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form) or (c) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (i) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (ii) the relevant forms prescribed in this paragraph (f)(A) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a certificate described in clause (b)(i) on behalf of such partners, in each case, certifying such Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax with respect to payments of interest to be made hereunder or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, the IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, shall (x) with respect to payments of interest under the Loan Documents, establish an exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under the Loan Documents, establish an exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty. Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver

to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) two properly executed originals IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form). Each Lender agrees (but only to the extent it is legally entitled to do so) to provide the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) with new forms prescribed by the IRS upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms delivered by it to the Company and the Administrative Agent, or at any other time reasonably requested by Company.

(B)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f)(B), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(C)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax under the laws of a country other than the United States of America, or any treaty to which such country is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, (A) such properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws as will permit the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to establish such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes (other than United States Taxes), and (B) such other documentation and reasonably requested information as will permit the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction for any applicable Taxes and any required information reporting requirements, in each case, in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender pursuant to any Loan Document. The completion, execution and submission of any documentation contemplated by this Section 2.16(f)(C) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver to the Company and the

Administrative Agent two further original copies of any previously delivered form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company or the Administrative Agent, or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent that it is unable to do so. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certification under this Section 2.16(f)(C) to the Company or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16(f)(C), a Lender or Agent shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.16(f)(C) that it is not legally able to deliver.

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

(h)   [Reserved.]

(i)   [Reserved.]

(j)   Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

SECTION 2.17.   Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim, and each Borrower

agrees to instruct its bank which will be transmitting such funds with respect to such payments not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date when due. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 8.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Payments of principal and interest on any Loan shall be in the currency in which such Loan is denominated. Reimbursement of LC Disbursement and interest thereon shall be paid in the currency in which such LC Disbursement was made. All other payments hereunder shall be made in US Dollars.

(b)   If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due from an applicable Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such interest and fees then due to such parties by such Borrower, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties by such Borrower.

(c)   If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its (i) Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit or Protective Advances or (ii) Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Protective Advances of any other Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its (i) Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Protective Advances or (ii) Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Protective Advances of any other Class and, in each case, accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender of the applicable Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the (i) Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit and Protective Advances or (ii) Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Protective Advances of any other Class of other Lenders of the applicable Class to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of the applicable Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective (i) Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit and Protective Advances or (ii) Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Protective Advances of any other Class; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be

rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Protective Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

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

(e)   If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18.   Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a)  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or 2.21, or additional interest under Section 2.12(h) or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.21, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(h), 2.14, 2.16 or 2.21, as the case may be, in

the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)   If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or 2.21, or additional interest under Section 2.12(h), or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.21, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Protective Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts, in each case payable to it by the applicable Borrower hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or 2.21, additional interest under Section 2.12(h) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.21, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c)   If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, and at any time thereafter while such Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender, the Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Commitment of such Lender and prepay all Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest thereon to the date of such prepayment; provided that such termination and prepayment shall be permitted only if, after giving effect thereto (including the adjustment of Credit Exposures of the Lenders to give effect to the allocation of LC Exposure in accordance with the Applicable Percentages of the Lenders after giving effect thereto), no Lender’s Credit Exposure shall exceed its Commitment.

(d)   In connection with any proposed amendment, modification or waiver of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to each Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require each Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance

with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Protective Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts, in each case payable to it by the Company hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) the Company shall not be permitted to require any Non-Consenting Lender to make any such assignment unless all Non-Consenting Lenders are required to make such assignments and, as a result thereof, the Proposed Change will become effective.

SECTION 2.19.   Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)   if any Protective Advance Exposures in respect of any Class exists at the time a Lender of such Class is a Defaulting Lender the Protective Advance Exposures of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders at such time in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that after giving effect to any such reallocation, (i) the Credit Exposure of each non-Defaulting Lender of such Class would not exceed its Commitments of such Class and (ii) the total Credit Exposure of all non-Defaulting Lenders of such Class would not exceed the total Commitments of such Lenders of such Class; provided that if such reallocation cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Protective Advance Exposures that has not been reallocated; provided, further, that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time);

(b)   if any LC Exposure in respect of any Class exists at the time a Lender of such Class is a Defaulting Lender the Company shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent either (i) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure of such Class in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure of such Class is outstanding, (ii) elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent, an LC Exposure Reallocation with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure of such Class, provided that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the

Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time) or (iii) comply with a combination of clauses (i) and (ii) above with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure of such Class;

(c)   no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit of any Class unless the Company provides cash collateral or elects an LC Exposure Reallocation (or a combination thereof) in accordance with clause (b) above in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure of such Class in respect thereof;

(d)   no commitment fees or participation fees shall accrue for the account of or be payable to such Defaulting Lender; and

(e)   the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, the Supermajority Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.02A); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

It is understood that, if the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender is assigned pursuant to Section 2.18(b) or terminated pursuant to Section 2.18(c), the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall cease to apply in respect of such Defaulting Lender and its Commitment.

SECTION 2.20.   Additional Borrowers; Borrowing Subsidiary Terminations.

(a)   After the Restatement Effective Date, the Company may designate any wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary or Canadian Subsidiary acceptable to the Lenders of any Class of Commitments and the Administrative Agent as an Additional Borrower in respect of such Class by delivery to the Administrative Agent of (i) an Additional Borrower Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (each, an “Additional Borrower Agreement”) and (ii) a favorable written opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) of counsel of such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Upon the written acceptance of the Additional Borrower Agreement by the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders of the applicable Class, in each applicable Lender’s sole discretion, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be an Additional Borrower with respect to such Class and a party to this Agreement.

(b)   If the Company wishes to terminate a Borrowing Subsidiary, the Company may execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to effectiveness, a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination substantially in the form

of Exhibit B-2 hereto (each, a “Borrowing Subsidiary Termination”) with respect to any Borrowing Subsidiary, and such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder. Promptly following receipt of any Additional Borrower Agreement or Borrowing Subsidiary Termination, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender.

SECTION 2.21.   Canadian Borrower Costs.

(a)   If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to any Additional Borrower that is a Canadian Borrower is increased, or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender (or its lending office) from any such Canadian Borrower is reduced, by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, by reason of the fact that such Additional Borrower is organized under the laws of, or principally conducts its business in, a jurisdiction or jurisdictions outside the United States of America, the Company shall indemnify such Lender for such increased cost or reduction within 30 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent). A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this subsection (a) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, together with calculations in reasonable detail supporting such amounts, shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error.

(b)   Each Lender will promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Lender to additional interest or payments pursuant to paragraph (a) above, but in any event within 45 days after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within 45 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will designate a different applicable lending office, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or to the Company or any Borrower.

(c)   The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not apply to Taxes imposed on or with respect to payments made by the Borrowers hereunder or Other Taxes, which Taxes shall be governed in each case solely by Section 2.16.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers and constitutes, and each Collateral Agreement (at such times as the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is required to be satisfied) has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and each Material Subsidiary party thereto and constitutes, a valid and binding obligation of the Company (and such Material Subsidiary, if applicable), enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.04.   Financial Information.

whole, or which in any manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

(b)   Except with respect to any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably expected in the good faith judgment of the Company (which shall be conclusive) to materially adversely affect the business, financial position or results of operations of the Company and the Consolidated Subsidiaries considered as a whole, neither the Company nor any of the Consolidated Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

The Company has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to promote compliance by the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (acting in their capacity as such) with the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 and applicable Sanctions, and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, to the knowledge of the Company, is in compliance with all Anti-Corruption Laws, applicable Sanctions, and, to the extent applicable, the USA Patriot Act, in all material respects. None of the Company or any Subsidiary, or, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, employee or agent with respect to the facility of the Company or any Subsidiary, is a Sanctioned Person.

SECTION 3.07.   Subsidiaries. (a) Each of the Consolidated Subsidiaries is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all requisite power and authority required to carry on its business as now conducted except to the extent that the failure of any such Consolidated Subsidiary to be so organized, existing or in good standing or to have such power and authority is not reasonably expected by the Company to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)   Schedule 3.07 hereto completely and accurately sets forth the names and jurisdictions of organization of each Consolidated Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary or a Canadian Subsidiary as of the Restatement Effective Date, indicating for each such Subsidiary whether it is a Material Subsidiary as of the Restatement Effective Date.

SECTION 3.08.   Not an Investment Company. None of the Borrowers or the Subsidiary Loan Parties is required to register as an “investment company” under (and within the meaning of) the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

SECTION 3.09.   ERISA. (a) The Company and its ERISA Affiliates (i) have fulfilled their material obligations, whether or not waived, under the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code with respect to each Plan, (ii) are in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and (iii) have not incurred any liability in excess of $100,000,000 to the PBGC or a Plan under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA; provided, that this sentence shall not apply to (x) any ERISA Affiliate as described in Section 414(m) of the Code (other than the Company or a Subsidiary) or any Plan maintained by such an ERISA Affiliate or (y) any Multiemployer Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries have made all material payments to Multiemployer Plans which they have been required to make under the related collective bargaining agreement or applicable law. As of the Restatement Effective Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries do not contribute to or have an obligation to contribute to a Multiemployer Plan, nor have they contributed or had an obligation to contribute to a Multiemployer Plan in the preceding six years.

(b)   Canadian Employee Benefit Plans. As of the Restatement Effective Date, none of the Canadian Pension Plans are Canadian Defined Benefit Pension Plans. All Canadian Pension Plans are duly registered under the ITA and applicable Canadian Pension Benefits Legislation and no event has occurred which would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such registered status where the loss of such registered status could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Canadian Pension Plans have each been administered, funded and invested in accordance with the terms of the particular plan, all applicable laws including, where applicable, the ITA and Canadian Pension Benefits Legislation, and the terms of all applicable collective bargaining agreements and employment contracts, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All material obligations of each of the Loan Parties (including fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) required to be performed in connection with the Canadian Pension Plans and the funding agreements therefor have been performed on a timely basis, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans except for such disputes which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All employee and employer payments, contributions (including “normal cost”, “special payments” and any other payments in respect of any funding deficiencies or shortfalls) or premiums required to be withheld, made, remitted or paid to or in respect of each Canadian Pension Plan and all other amounts that are due to the pension fund of any Canadian Pension Plan from any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates have been withheld, made, remitted or paid on a timely basis in accordance with the terms of such plans, any applicable collective bargaining agreement or employment contract and all applicable laws, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material

Adverse Effect. There has been no improper withdrawal or application of the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans as of the Restatement Effective Date.

The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Company, adequate.

SECTION 3.11.   Disclosure. The financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(i) and (ii), the registration statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(vii) (in each case in the form in which such registration statements were declared effective, as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto) and the reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(vii), do not, taken as a whole and in each case as of the date thereof, contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

SECTION 3.12.   Credit Card Agreements. Schedule 3.12 (as updated from time to time as permitted by Section 5.24) sets forth a list of all Credit Card Agreements to which any Loan Party is a party.

Each of the Agents also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

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

Each of the Agents may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each of the Agents and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders (or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, the Required Secured Parties) shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. In addition, if either Agent is a Defaulting Lender due to it having had a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with the reorganization or liquidation of its business or custodian appointed for it, the Required Lenders shall have

the right, by notice in writing to the Company and such Agent, to remove such Agent in its capacity as such and, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld and except during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, when no consent shall be required), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, the Required Secured Parties) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After such Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as an Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon any Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Co-Documentation Agents (each as identified on the cover page of this Agreement) (each of the foregoing, in its capacity as such, a “Titled Person”), in their capacities as such, shall have no rights, powers, duties, liabilities, fiduciary relationships or obligations under any Loan Document or any of the other documents related hereto.

Each of the Lenders hereby (a) agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Collateral Documents, including those terms thereof applicable to the Collateral Agent and the provisions thereof authorizing the Required Secured Parties to approve amendments or modifications thereto or waivers thereof, and to control remedies thereunder, and (b) irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to (i) release any Liens on any Non-ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with an Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) release any Liens on any Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Documents, including any Liens on real property following the delivery of a Real Property Exclusion Notice.

Each of the Lenders hereby (a) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into an Intercreditor Agreement if Indebtedness is incurred that is secured by Liens contemplated by clause (a)(viii), (a)(ix), (a)(x), (b)(ix), (b)(x) or (b)(xi) of

Section 5.08 and (b) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of such Intercreditor Agreement.

It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto, that as part of its duties and functions, the Collateral Agent shall serve as the hypothecary representative for itself and for all present and future Secured Parties, as contemplated by Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec (the “CCQ”). For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Collateral Agent, each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as hypothecary representative for all present and future Lenders, Issuing Banks and any other Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the CCQ in order to hold the hypothecs granted under any Loan Document pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure performance of all or part of the Obligations (as defined in each such Loan Document) and to exercise such powers and duties which are conferred upon the hypothecary representative thereunder. The appointment of the Collateral Agent as hypothecary representative shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by each Person that accedes or has acceded to this Agreement as a Lender or Issuing Bank after the date hereof. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the hypothecary representative of the Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the CCQ. In the event of the resignation of the Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall also act as hypothecary representative without further act or formality being required to appoint such successor Collateral Agent as the successor hypothecary representative for the purposes of any then existing deeds of hypothec. The execution by the Collateral Agent as the hypothecary representative of the relevant deeds of hypothec or other relevant documentation prior to the date hereof is hereby ratified and confirmed by each Lender and Issuing Bank. In its capacity of hypothecary representative, the Collateral Agent shall (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted hereunder, all rights and remedies given to the hypothecary representative pursuant to any hypothec, applicable law or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Collateral Agent, mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any deed of hypothec or other Loan Document, on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)   Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable by the Borrowers hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable by the Borrowers hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of

expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be); provided further that (i) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of any Class (but not the Lenders of other Classes) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, any Issuing Bank) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

(c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent and the Company acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action by or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

SECTION 8.02A. Certain ABL Amendments. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no agreement or agreements entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders shall (i) change any of the provisions of this Section, the definition of “Borrowing Base” or any of the component definitions thereof, or increase any advance rate used in computing the Borrowing Base, or add any new asset class to the Borrowing Base, in each case, in a manner that could result in increased borrowing availability, it being understood that changes in Reserves implemented by the Collateral Agent in its Permitted Discretion in accordance with the terms hereof shall not be subject to the consent of the Supermajority Lenders, (ii) release the Company or all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees provided by the Subsidiary Loan Parties (including, in each case, by limiting liability in respect thereof) under the Collateral Documents (except for any such release by the Collateral Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Subsidiary Loan Party permitted hereunder), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of the types of obligations

guaranteed under the Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to be a release or limitation of any Guarantee or (iii) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens created under the Collateral Documents, or subordinate any such Liens (except as expressly provided in Article VII or Section 8.19 and except for any such release by the Collateral Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of the types of obligations secured by the Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens created thereunder, in each case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no agreement or agreements entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders shall change the definition of “Supermajority Lenders”, without the written consent of each Lender.

(a)  The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Agents, as applicable, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents in connection with field examinations and appraisals conducted in connection with the establishment of the credit facilities provided for herein or provided for in the Loan Documents and/or any internally allocated charges relating to any field examinations or appraisals conducted by either Agent and (iii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents.

(b)   The Company shall indemnify each Agent, any Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, which may be incurred by any Indemnitee, relating to or arising out of any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder for the purpose of acquiring equity securities of any Person or any exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder (i) with respect to the acquisition of equity securities of a wholly-owned Subsidiary, or of a Person who prior to such acquisition did not conduct any business or (ii) for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct determined by a final non appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 8.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes

other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)   To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to either Agent or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (i) each Lender, in the case of this Agreement, severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s ratable share (determined in accordance with such Lender’s share of the Aggregate Commitments or, if the Commitments have terminated, the Aggregate Credit Exposure, in each case as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount and (ii) each Secured Party, in the case of the Collateral Agreements, severally agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent such Secured Party’s ratable share (determined in accordance with such Secured Party’s share of the Obligations) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent or Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.

(d)   To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that the foregoing waiver shall not apply to special, indirect or consequential damages (but shall apply to punitive damages) attributable to the failure of a Lender to fund Loans, when required to do so hereunder, promptly after the receipt of notice of such failure.

(e)   All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 8.04.   Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than pursuant to a merger permitted under Section 5.12, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

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

(B)    the Administrative Agent; and

(C)    in the case of any assignment of all or a portion of the Commitments of any Class under which Letters of Credit may be issued hereunder, each Issuing Bank of such Class.

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

(A)   except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of any Class of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement as such rights and obligations relate to the Class of Loans or Commitments being assigned;

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

(D)   the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(E)    no assignment shall be made to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(iii)   Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.21 and 8.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 8.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

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

(v)   Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

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

any Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first proviso to Section 8.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) and 2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.16 or 2.21 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

(iii)   Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)   Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or

other central banking authority, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 8.05.   Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.21 and 8.03 and Article VII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 8.06.   Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the initial Lenders constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective as provided in the Restatement Agreement.

(b)   Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or the Electronic Commerce Act (Ontario) or other similar provincial legislation; provided that

nothing herein shall require any Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Agents, the Lenders and the Loan Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.

SECTION 8.07.   Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 8.08.   Right of Setoff. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all the obligations then due of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 8.09.   Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement and any Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b)   Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, that all claims in respect of any such suit, action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim may be heard and determined in such New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any suit, action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim

relating to any Loan Document against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(d)   Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.01. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 8.10.   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 8.11.   Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 8.12.   Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, insurers, insurance brokers, service providers and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the

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

SECTION 8.13.   Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 8.14.   Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Agents and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U of the Board) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement. In addition, no Borrower will use or permit any proceeds of the Loans to be used in any manner which would violate or cause any Lender to be in violation of Regulation U of the Board.

SECTION 8.15.   USA Patriot Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot

Act”) and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, 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 and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

SECTION 8.16.   Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(a)   The Loan Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties, their directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Loan Parties shall promptly provide all such information in their possession, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lenders, or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b)   If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent and each other Lender within the meaning of the 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.

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

SECTION 8.17.   Continuing Obligations. On the Restatement Effective Date, this Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not constitute a novation of the parties’ rights and obligations thereunder. On the Restatement Effective Date, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the “Loans” as defined in

the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding and be continued as, and converted to, Loans as defined herein and the existing Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Banks (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) for the account of the Company prior to the Restatement Effective Date shall remain issued and outstanding and shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit under this Agreement, and shall bear interest and be subject to such other fees as set forth in this Agreement. All interest and fees and expenses, if any, owing or accruing under or in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement through the Restatement Effective Date (including any Eurodollar Breakage Costs, as defined therein) shall be calculated as of the Restatement Effective Date (pro-rated in the case of any fractional periods), and shall be paid on the Restatement Effective Date.

SECTION 8.18.   Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in US Dollars into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction US Dollars could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b)   The obligations of each party hereto in respect of any sum due to any other party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than US Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase US Dollars with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of US Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in US Dollars, such party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such deficiency. The obligations of the parties contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 8.19.   Intercreditor Agreement. (a) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties acknowledges that obligations of the Company and the other Loan Parties under the Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness, upon incurrence thereof, may be secured by Liens on assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Loan Parties that constitute Collateral (and by fee-owned real property of the Company and the Subsidiary Loan Parties, whether or not such fee-owned real property constitutes Collateral), and that the relative Lien priority and other creditor rights of the Secured Parties and the secured parties in respect of Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness will be set forth in an Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, (i) from time to time upon the request of the Company, in connection with the establishment, incurrence, amendment, refinancing or replacement of any Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness, any Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent is

hereby authorized and directed to determine the terms and conditions of each Intercreditor Agreement as contemplated by the definition of the term “Intercreditor Agreement”, and that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party, or by any Loan Party, as a result of, any such determination) and (ii) any documents relating thereto.

(b)   Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably (i) consents to the subordination of the Liens on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in each Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) agrees that, upon the execution and delivery thereof, such Secured Party will be bound by the provisions of each Intercreditor Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions thereof, (iii) agrees that no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement and (iv) authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to carry out the provisions and intent of each such document.

(c)   Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of each Intercreditor Agreement that the Company may from time to time request (i) to give effect to any establishment, incurrence, amendment, extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of any Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness, (ii) to confirm for any party that the Intercreditor Agreement is effective and binding upon the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or (iii) to effect any other amendment, supplement or modification so long as the resulting agreement would constitute an Intercreditor Agreement if executed at such time as a new agreement.

(d)   Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of any Collateral Document to add or remove any legend that may be required pursuant to any Intercreditor Agreement.

(e)   Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties acknowledges and agrees that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., or one or more of its Affiliates may (but is not obligated to) act as Collateral Agent, collateral agent or a similar representative for the holders of any Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness (and may itself be a holder of any Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness) and, in any such capacity, may be a party to any Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties waives any conflict of interest in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its Affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.

(f)    The Collateral Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Article VII and Section 8.03 with respect to all actions taken by it pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement to the full extent thereof.

(g)   Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Section 8.19.

SECTION 8.20.   Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)   the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)   the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)   a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in an Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)   the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 8.21.   Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. (a) To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated

to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).

(b)   In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

SECTION 8.22.   MIRE Events. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, if there are any Mortgaged Properties, any increase, extension or renewal of any of the Commitments or Loans (including the provision of Incremental Revolving Loans) or any other incremental or additional credit facilities hereunder, but excluding (a) any continuation or conversion of borrowings, (b) the making of any Revolving Loans or (c) the issuance, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit shall be subject to and conditioned upon: (i) the prior delivery of all flood hazard determination certifications, acknowledgements and evidence of flood insurance and other flood-related documentation with respect to such Mortgaged Properties as required by the Flood Insurance Laws and as otherwise reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received written confirmation from the Lenders that flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance have been completed by the Lenders (such written confirmation not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

SECTION 8.23.   Release. It is understood and agreed that, pursuant to clause (b) of the eighth paragraph of Article VII and Section 7.13(c) of the Collateral Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined in the VS Transaction Agreement), each of the Guarantors disposed of pursuant to the VS Transaction Agreement shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Security Interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) of such Guarantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of such dispositions. Pursuant to Section 7.13(e) of the Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the

Company, at the Company’s expense, all documents that the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such release.
