disregarded for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 8.2(g).";

(f) amending Section 8.3 to delete the same in its entirety and replace it with the following:

"8.3 Financial Covenant

So long as any amount owing by any Borrower under this Agreement remains unpaid or

any Lender has any obligation under this Agreement, unless consent is given under Section

12.1, the ratio of Funded Net Debt to EBITDA of the Covenantor shall not exceed 4.00:1.00

on the last day of any period of four consecutive Financial Quarters; provided, however,

that on and after the date of consummation of the Acquisition (the "Acquisition Closing

Date"), so long as any amount owing by any Borrower under this Agreement remains

unpaid or any Lender has any obligation under this Agreement, unless consent is given

under Section 12.1, the ratio of Funded Net Debt to EBITDA of the Covenantor shall not

exceed 4.75:1.00 on the last day of any period of four consecutive Financial Quarters

ending on or before the date which is 24 months after the Acquisition Closing Date.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 8.3 during the Calculation

Period, if there has been (i) a material adverse change in the business, financial condition,

operations, performance or properties of the Acquired Company and its Subsidiaries, taken

as a whole, or (ii) the occurrence of an insolvency event of the type contemplated by

Section 9.1(h) with respect to the Acquired Company (each of (i) or (ii), an "Excluding

Event"), then (x) EBITDA shall include the Acquired Company and its Subsidiaries only

to the extent of cash actually received by the Covenantor, the Borrower or any Designated

Subsidiary Guarantor and (y) Funded Debt shall be calculated to exclude the Funded Debt

attributable to the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries that is non-recourse to the

Covenantor and its Subsidiaries (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired

Company and its subsidiaries)";

(g) amending Article 10 to add the following as Section 10.15:

"10.15 Erroneous Payments

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received

funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, a "Payment

Recipient") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion

(whether or not after receipt of any notice under the immediately succeeding clause

(b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative

Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted or paid

to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient

(whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf)

(any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of

principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an

"Erroneous Payment") and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a

portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of

the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and

held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or,

with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall

cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business

Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such

Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in

same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in

respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or

portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount

is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of (i) in

respect of an Erroneous Payment in U.S. Dollars, the Federal Funds Rate and, in

respect of an Erroneous Payment in Canadian Dollars at a fluctuating rate per

annum equal to the overnight rate at which Canadian Dollars may be borrowed by

the Administrative Agent in the interbank market in an amount comparable to such

Erroneous Payment (as determined by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) a rate

determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules

or prevailing market practice for interbank compensation from time to time in

effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this

Section 10.15(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding Section 10.15(a), each Lender, or any

Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further agrees that if

it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment,

prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise)

from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different

amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment,

prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its

Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was

not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment

sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender,

or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, paid, or

received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall

be presumed to have been made (absent express written confirmation from

the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made

(in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with

respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds

on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one

Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative

Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details

thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative

Agent pursuant to this Section 10.15(b).

any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document,

or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender

from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the

immediately preceding Section 10.15(a) or under the indemnification provisions

of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the

Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative

Agent in accordance with the immediately preceding Section 10.15(a), from any

Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from

any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)

on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an "Erroneous Payment Return

Deficiency"), upon the Administrative Agent's notice to such Lender at any time,

(i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Accommodations Outstanding

(but not its Commitments) under the applicable Credit Facilities with respect to

which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted

Facilities") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or

such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of

the Accommodations Outstanding (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous

Payment Impacted Facilities, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment")

at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived

by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the

Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption

agreement in the form of Schedule 8 with respect to such Erroneous Payment

Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall

be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon

such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall

become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency

Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with

respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the

avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this

Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such

assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in its records its

ownership interest in the Accommodations Outstanding subject to the Erroneous

Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion,

sell any Accommodations Outstanding acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment

Deficiency Assignment and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the

Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be

reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Accommodations Outstanding (or

portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights,

remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives

funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment

Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such

Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this

Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the

Administrative Agent has sold an Accommodations Outstanding (or portion

thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and

irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the

Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and

interests of the applicable Lender under the Credit Documents with respect to each

Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation

Rights").

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay,

discharge or otherwise satisfy any indebtedness and liabilities (whether matured or

unmatured) of the Borrowers outstanding to the Lenders and owed by the

Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Documents, except, in each case, to the extent

such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such

Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative

Agent from (i) the Borrowers or (ii) the proceeds of realization from the

enforcement of one or more of the Credit Documents against or in respect of one

or more of the Borrowers, in each case for the purpose of making such Erroneous

Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any

right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to

waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with

respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the

return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based

on "discharge for value", "good consideration" for the Erroneous Payment or

change of position by such Payment Recipient, any defense that the intent of the

Administrative Agent was that such Payment Recipient retain the Erroneous

Payment in all events, or any doctrine or defense similar to any of the foregoing.

(g) Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.15 shall

survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, or any

assignment or transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender,

the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or

discharge of all indebtedness and liabilities (or any portion thereof) of the

Borrowers outstanding to the Lenders and owed by the Borrowers pursuant to the

Credit Documents.

(h) For purposes of this Section 10.15, each Lender:

(i) agrees it is executing and delivering this Agreement with respect to this

Section 10.15 both on its own behalf and as agent for and on behalf of any

Person receiving funds under the Credit Documents on behalf of such

Lender;

(ii) represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that any Person receiving funds

under the Credit Documents on behalf of such Lender is bound by the

provisions of this Section 10.15; and

(iii) agrees that any matter or thing done or omitted to be done by such Lender

or any Person receiving funds under the Credit Documents on behalf of

such Lender which are the subject of this Section 10.15 will be binding

upon such Lender and each Lender hereby indemnifies and saves the

Administrative Agent and its Affiliates harmless from any and all losses,

expenses, claims, demands or other liabilities of the Administrative Agent

and its Affiliates resulting from the failure of such Lender or such Persons

to comply with their obligations under and in respect of this Section 10.15,

in accordance with and subject to the limitations in this Section 10.15."

3. APPROVAL IN RESPECT OF THE ACQUISITION

3.1 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Agent and the Consenting Lenders hereby approve the consummation of the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Voting Trust, the financing associated therewith, and, in the event the STB does not approve the Acquisition, the disposal of the Acquired Business on the terms set forth in the Acquisition Agreement and the Voting Trust Agreement.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

(a) there exists no Default or Event of Default; and

(b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement (other than any

representations and warranties which expressly speak of an earlier date, and with this Agreement

being a Credit Document and references to the Credit Agreement being deemed to be references to

the Amended Credit Agreement) are true and correct.

5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EFFECTIVENESS

This Agreement shall, for all purposes, be considered to be a Credit Document. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Agent under any of the Credit Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Credit Documents.

7. FURTHER ASSURANCES

The parties hereto shall from time to time do all such further acts and things and execute and deliver

all such documents as are required in order to effect the full intent of and fully perform and carry out the terms of this Agreement.

8. COUNTERPARTS

different counterparts), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
