(iv) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(v) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

The Borrower Agent hereby agrees to provide any and all “know your customer” or other similar information required by applicable law regarding the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit reasonably requested in writing by an L/C Issuer prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower Agent and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least 1 Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrowers or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) The Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) each L/C Issuer to permit, in its sole discretion, the renewal of any Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “ Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit ”) at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided , however , that the L/C Issuers shall not permit any such renewal if (A) such L/C Issuer has reasonably determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is 5 Business Days before the non-renewal notice date set forth in such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit or, if not designated, the annual anniversary of the issuance thereof, that (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent thereof.

If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the US Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “ US Unreimbursed Amount ”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of US Prime Rate Loans to be disbursed on the US Honor Date in an amount equal to the US Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(a) for the principal amount of US Prime Rate Loans, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice).

(B) Not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) with respect to Cdn. Dollar Letters of Credit on the date of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Cdn. Dollar Letter of Credit (each such date, a “ Cdn. Honor

Date ”), the Borrowers shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Cdn. Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “ Cdn. Unreimbursed Amount ”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Cdn. Prime Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Cdn. Honor Date in an amount equal to the Cdn. Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(a) , but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice).

(C) Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing.

(ii) With respect to US Letters of Credit, each Lender (including the Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(A) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of each of the applicable L/C Issuers at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the US Unreimbursed Amount, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii) , each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a US Base Rate Loan or US Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, to the applicable Borrower in such amount. With respect to Cdn. Letters of Credit, each Lender (including the Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(A) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of each of the applicable L/C Issuers at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Cdn. Unreimbursed Amount, not later than 2:00 p.m. (noon) (Eastern time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii) , each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Cdn. Prime Rate Loan, to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuers.

(iii) With respect to (A) any US Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of US Base Rate Loans or US Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the US Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate and (B) any Cdn. Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Cdn. Prime Rate Loans, in the applicable currency, because the

conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Cdn. Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03 .

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse an L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuers for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c) , shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided , however , that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrowers of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuers for the amount of any payment made by any L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any of the L/C Issuers any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii) or in accordance with Section 2.02(i) , the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of any L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations .

(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c) , if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related applicable Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute . The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuers for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each associated L/C Borrowing, shall in each case, be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

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

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the applicable Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

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

(iv) any payment by an L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the applicable Borrower, except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its payment of a Letter of Credit.

The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower Agent will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer . Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, none of the L/C Issuers shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent or any of their Related Parties, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any of the L/C Issuers, shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided , however , that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as they may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent or any of their Related Parties, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any of the L/C Issuers, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e) ; provided , however , that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by the such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under

any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral .

(i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, (iii) if Availability is less than zero after giving effect to the prepayment of outstanding Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(b) , or (iv) if any demand for Cash Collateralization has been made under Section 8.02(c) , the Borrowers shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). Sections 2.04 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the L/C Issuers and the other Secured Parties, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at Bank of Montreal. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.03 or 8.02(c) in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, and obligations to fund participations therein for which the Cash Collateral was provided (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation), it being agreed that

Cash Collateral provided in respect of obligations of Defaulting Lenders to L/C Issuers shall be applied on a pro rata basis as set forth in Section 2.14(a)(ii) .

(iii) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations and not otherwise applied in accordance with Section 2.03(g)(ii) shall be released promptly following (A) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto or (B) the Administrative Agent’s reasonable good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided , however , that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.03 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03 ).

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP . Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower Agent when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees . (i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the L/C Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit). Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such Letter of Credit fees shall be due and payable on (i) the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing on the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (ii) on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and (iii) thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the L/C Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the L/C Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such L/C Rate was in effect.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer . The Borrowers shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer equal to 1/4 of 1% (0.250%) per annum times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on the date such Letter of Credit is issued or renewed. Such fee shall be due and payable on (i) the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, and (ii) annually on each anniversary of such issuance date if such Letter of Credit is renewed or has an expiry date more than 365 days, in each case, as permitted under this Agreement. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect in connection with Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer. Such

customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application . In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

2.04. Prepayments.

(a) The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (A) 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) 3 Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Cash Collateralization of Bankers’ Acceptances (or BA Equivalent Notes), (B) 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of prepayment of US Base Rate Loans and US Prime Rate Loans, and (C) 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of prepayment of Cdn. Prime Rate Loans (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Cash Collateralization Bankers’ Acceptances (or BA Equivalent Notes) shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment (or Cash Collateralization with respect to Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes) and whether such Loans are Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances (or BA Equivalent Notes) or Base Rate Loans and whether such Loans are US Dollar Loans or Cdn. Dollar Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower Agent, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. With respect to Bankers’ Acceptances (and BA Equivalent Notes), the amount of such prepayment shall be held as Cash Collateral to be applied against the liability of the applicable Lender upon the maturity of such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note being so prepaid.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists as a result of currency fluctuations of Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Cdn. Dollars, Borrowers shall, on the sooner of Administrative Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower has actual knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding Cdn. Dollar Loans and/or Cash Collateralize outstanding L/C Obligations with respect to Cdn. Dollar Letters of Credit, in an amount such that after giving effect to such repayment of Cdn. Dollar Loans or Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations with

respect to Cdn. Dollar Letters of Credit, Total Outstandings do not exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

2.05. Termination or Reduction of Commitments . The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) 2 Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess; provided , further , that any such reduction is subject to the Borrowers’ right to subsequently increase the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.17 . Other than as set forth in clause (iv) above, the amount of any such Aggregate Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or unless otherwise specified by the Borrower Agent. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All facility and utilization fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.06. Bankers’ Acceptances

(a) To facilitate the issuance of Bankers’ Acceptances pursuant to this Agreement, the Canadian Borrower irrevocably appoints each Lender from time to time as the attorney-in-fact of the Canadian Borrower to execute, endorse and deliver on behalf of the Borrowers drafts in the forms prescribed by such Lender (if such Lender is a BA Lender) for Bankers’ Acceptances denominated in Cdn. Dollars (each such executed draft that has not yet been accepted by a Lender being referred to as a “ Draft ”) or non interest-bearing promissory notes of the Canadian Borrower in favour of such Lender (if such Lender is a Non BA Lender) (each such promissory note being referred to as a “ BA Equivalent Note ”). Each Bankers’ Acceptance and BA Equivalent Note executed and delivered by a Lender on behalf of the Canadian Borrower as provided for in this Section 2.06 will be as binding upon the Borrowers as if it had been executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of each of the Borrowers.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.06(a), the Canadian Borrower will from time to time as required by the applicable Lender provide to (a) each BA Lender an appropriate number of Drafts drawn by the Canadian Borrower upon such BA Lender and either payable to a clearing service (if such BA Lender is a member thereof) or payable to the Canadian Borrower and endorsed in blank by the Canadian Borrower (if such BA Lender is not a member of such clearing service), and (b) each Non BA Lender an appropriate number of BA Equivalent Notes in favour of such Non BA Lender. The dates, maturity dates and face amounts of all Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes delivered

by the Canadian Borrower must be left blank, to be completed by the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Each Lender to which a Draft or BA Equivalent Note has been delivered by the Canadian Borrower will exercise the same degree of care in the custody of such Draft or BA Equivalent Note as such Lender would exercise with respect to its own property kept at the place at which the Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes are ordinarily kept by such Lender. Each Lender, upon the written request of the Canadian Borrower, will promptly advise the Canadian Borrower of the number and designation, if any, of the Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes then held by it. No Lender will be liable for its failure to accept a Draft or purchase a BA Equivalent Note as required by this Agreement if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to the failure of the Canadian Borrower to provide on a timely basis appropriate Drafts or BA Equivalent Notes to the applicable Lender as requested by such Lender on a timely basis.

(c) Promptly following receipt of a Loan Notice requesting Bankers’ Acceptances, the Administrative Agent will (a) advise each BA Lender of the face amount and the term of the Draft to be accepted by it, and (b) advise each applicable Non BA Lender of the face amount and term of the BA Equivalent Note to be purchased by it. All Drafts to be accepted from time to time by each BA Lender that is a member of a clearing service will be payable to such clearing service. The term of all Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes issued pursuant to any Loan Notice must be identical. Each Bankers’ Acceptance and BA Equivalent Note must be dated the date such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note is disbursed and issued and will be for a term of one, two, three or six months, provided that in no event will the term of a Bankers’ Acceptance or a BA Equivalent Note extend beyond the Maturity Date. The face amount of the Draft (or the aggregate face amount of the Drafts) to be accepted at any time by each Lender that is a BA Lender, and the face amount of the BA Equivalent Note (or the aggregate face amount of the BA Equivalent Notes) to be purchased at any time by each Lender that is a Non BA Lender, will be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the amounts of their respective Commitments; provided , that, if the face amount of a Draft or BA Equivalent Note which would otherwise be accepted or purchased by a Lender would not be Cdn$100,000 or a whole multiple thereof, the face amount shall be increased or reduced by the Agent in its sole discretion to Cdn$100,000 or the nearest whole multiple of that amount, as appropriate; provided that after such issuance, no Lender shall have aggregate outstanding Loans in excess of its Commitment.

(d) Each BA Lender will complete and accept on the applicable date on which a Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent is disbursed, a Draft having a face amount (or Drafts having the face amounts) and term advised by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(c). Each applicable BA Lender will purchase on the applicable date on which a Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent is disbursed all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by it, for an aggregate price equal to the BA Discount Proceeds of such Bankers’ Acceptances. The Canadian Borrower will ensure that there is delivered to each applicable BA Lender that is a member of a clearing service, and such BA Lender is hereby authorized to release, the Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by it to such clearing service upon receipt of confirmation that such clearing service holds such Bankers’ Acceptance for the account of such BA Lender.

(e) Each Non BA Lender, in lieu of accepting Drafts or purchasing Bankers’ Acceptances on any date such Bankers’ Acceptance is disbursed, will complete and purchase from the Canadian Borrower on the date such Bankers’ Acceptance is disbursed, of a BA Equivalent Note in a face amount and for a term identical to the face amount and term of the Drafts that such Non BA Lender would have been required to accept on such date that such Bankers’ Acceptance is disbursed if it were a BA Lender, for a price equal to the BA Discount Proceeds of such BA Equivalent Note (determined as if such BA Equivalent Note were a Bankers’ Acceptance). Each Non BA Lender will be entitled, without charge, to exchange any BA Equivalent Note held by it for two or more BA Equivalent Notes of identical date and aggregate face amount, and the Canadian Borrower will execute and deliver to such Non BA Lender such replacement BA Equivalent Notes and such Non BA Lender will return the original BA Equivalent Note to the Canadian Borrower for cancellation.

(f) The Canadian Borrower will pay to each BA Lender in respect of each Draft tendered by the Canadian Borrower to and accepted by such BA Lender, and to each Non BA Lender in respect of each BA Equivalent Note tendered to and purchased by such Non BA Lender, as a condition of such acceptance or purchase, the BA Stamping Fee. A Lender is entitled to deduct and retain for its own account the amount of such fee from the amount to be transferred by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the sale of the related Bankers’ Acceptance or of such BA Equivalent Note.

(g) On the date of maturity of each Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, the Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the holder of such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, in Cdn. Dollars an amount equal to the face amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, as the case may be. The obligation of the Canadian Borrower to make such payment will not be prejudiced by the fact that the holder of such Bankers’ Acceptance is the Lender that accepted such Bankers’ Acceptances. No days of grace may be claimed by the Canadian Borrower for the payment at maturity of any Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note. If any Borrower does not make such payment from the proceeds of a Loan obtained under this Agreement or otherwise, the amount of such required payment will be deemed to be a Cdn. Prime Rate Loan to the Canadian Borrower from the Lender that accepted such Banker’s Acceptance or purchased such BA Equivalent Note.

(h) The signature of any duly authorized officer of the Canadian Borrower on a Draft or a BA Equivalent Note may be mechanically reproduced in facsimile, and all Drafts and BA Equivalent Notes bearing such facsimile signature will be as binding upon the Canadian Borrower as if they had been manually signed by such officer, notwithstanding that such Person whose manual or facsimile signature appears on such Draft or BA Equivalent Note may no longer hold office at the date of such Draft or BA Equivalent Note or at the date of acceptance of such Draft by a BA Lender or at any time thereafter.

2.07. Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) In the event any amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, any interest payment) is not paid when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrowers shall pay interest on such unpaid amount (including, without limitation, interest on interest) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.08. Fees . In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03 :

(a) Commitment Fee . The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Commitment Fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate on the average daily Available Aggregate Commitment from the date hereof to and including the Maturity Date. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For purposes of determining the Available Aggregate Commitment, the US Dollar Equivalent of Cdn. Dollar Loans shall be calculated on the basis of the Bank of Canada noon spot rate in effect on the first Business Day of each month.

(b) Upfront Fees . On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders an upfront fee in an amount equal to which is 0.75% of the total amount each such Lender’s Commitment. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(c) Other Fees . The Borrowers shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders the other fees set forth in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.09. Computation of Interest and Fees .

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of Montreal’s “prime rate”, whether for Cdn. Dollars or US Dollars, shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a) , bear interest for one day.

(b) Unless otherwise stated, wherever in this Agreement reference is made to a rate of interest “per annum” or a similar expression is used, such interest will be calculated on the basis of a calendar year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and using the nominal rate method of calculation and not the effective rate method of calculation or on any other basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest. Interest will continue to accrue after maturity and default and/or judgment, if any, until payment thereof, and interest will accrue on overdue interest, if any.

2.10. Evidence of Debt.

(a) Agent Record; Notes . The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) Lender Records . In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

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

(d) Entries Binding . Entries made in the Loan Accounts shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Accounts is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies the Administrative Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

2.11. Payments Generally.

(a) Payments .

(i) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in US Dollars or Cdn. Dollars, as applicable, and in Same Day Funds (A) with respect to the payments in US Dollars, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date specified herein and (B) with respect to payments in Cdn. Dollars, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is

prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in Cdn. Dollars, such Borrower shall make such payment in US Dollars in the US Dollar Equivalent of the Cdn. Dollar payment amount.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), in its discretion, retain any payments or other funds received by the Administrative Agent that are to be provided to a Defaulting Lender hereunder, and may apply such funds to such Lender’s defaulted obligations or readvance the funds to Borrowers in accordance with this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make any payment in respect of L/C Obligations or to otherwise perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that, solely for purposes of determining a Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters relating to the Loan Documents and to share in payments, fees and Collateral proceeds thereunder, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a “Lender” until all its defaulted obligations have been cured.

(iii) The Loans, L/C Obligations and other Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of the Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document) shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, upon all Collateral; provided , however , that the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

(iv) All repayments, prepayments or reimbursements with respect to Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations of the US Borrowers shall be made to the Administrative Agent’s Office in Chicago and, subject to the discretion of the Administrative Agent in Section 2.11(a)(i), all repayments, prepayments or reimbursements with respect to Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations of the Canadian Borrower shall be made to the Administrative Agent’s Office in Toronto.

(b) Payment after Business Day . If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Failure to Make Payment . Unless the Borrower Agent or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, have or has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a

corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if the Borrowers failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect for amounts in US Dollars (and at the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for amounts in Cdn. Dollars); and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect for amounts in US Dollars (and at the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for amounts in Cdn. Dollars). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Return of Funds . If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II , and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) Obligations of Lenders . The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required

hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

(f) Manner of Obtaining Loans . Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.12. Sharing of Payments . If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided , however , that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.08 ) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

2.13. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside . None of the Administrative Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights

and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

2.14. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments . That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.1 .

(ii) Reallocation of Payments . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8.03 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.8 ), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second , to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers hereunder; third , if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth , as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement; fifth , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in an interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any L/C Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh , so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth , to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Advances owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other

amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. Promptly (x) upon a Lender ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (y) following termination of this Agreement (including the termination of all Letters of Credit issued hereunder) and the payment of all amounts owed under this Agreement (other than unasserted contingent obligations which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement), all amounts, if any, held in a deposit account pursuant to this Section 2.14(a) shall be returned to such Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable.

(iii) Certain Fees . That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.03(i) .

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure . During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03 , the Pro Rata Share of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided , that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans of that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure . If a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, as reasonably determined by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer, such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv) ), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided , further , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no

change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender

2.15. Effect of Termination; Survival . On the effective date of any termination of the entire Commitments, all Obligations (other than Bank Product Debt and Swap Obligations) shall be immediately due and payable, and any Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates’ Bank Products or Swap Contracts if expressly permitted to do so in the agreements relating to such Bank Products or such or Swap Contracts, as applicable. All undertakings of the Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any termination, and the Administrative Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents until Full Payment of the Obligations. Sections 2.03 , 3.01 , 3.03 , 3.04 , 3.05 and 10.04 , this Section, Articles III and IX , and the obligation of each Loan Party and Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, shall, in each case, survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, Full Payment of the Obligations and any release relating to this credit facility.

2.16. Repayment of Loans . The Borrowers shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date.

2.17. Increase Option . The Borrowers may from time to time elect to increase the Aggregate Commitments, in each case in minimum increments of $10,000,000 or such lower amount as the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree upon, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $50,000,000. The Borrowers may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “ Increasing Lender ”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “ Augmenting Lender ”), to increase their existing Commitments, or extend Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender and each Increasing Lender shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and each LC Issuer and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrowers and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrowers and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17 . Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Aggregate Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Section 4.2 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrowers and (B) the Borrowers shall be in pro forma compliance with the covenants contained in Section 7.11 for the previous four-quarter period for which financial statements have been delivered and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those

delivered on the date hereof as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Loans, and (ii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans as of the date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower Agent, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02 ). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, (x) in respect of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06 and (y) in respect of each Bankers’ Acceptance (or BA Equivalent Note), shall be Cash Collateralized by the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(a) , in each case, if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.

ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01. Taxes.

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

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers . Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers . The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent,

such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments . As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Agent 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.

(e) Status of Lenders .

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; and (B) any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(B) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Canadian Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “ US Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, or

(E) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f) FATCA . 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 fails 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at such time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (i) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller, and (ii) other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent sufficient for the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

Each Lender shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup or other withholding or other information reporting requirements.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds . If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, agree to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent, any Lender and any L/C Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a refund of Indemnified Taxes to which, in its sole discretion, it determines it is entitled. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or such L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

3.02. Illegality . If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptances, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate or Bankers’ Acceptances, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, US Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptances or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptances, as applicable shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender into US Base Rate Loans or US Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, and convert all Bankers’ Acceptances (or BA Equivalent Notes) of such Lender into Cdn. Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such

Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptances. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest, if any, on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03. Inability to Determine Rates . If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Bankers’ Acceptance (or BA Equivalent Note), as applicable, or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) US Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Bankers’ Acceptance (or BA Equivalent Note), as applicable, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency LIBOR Rate or BA Discount Rate, as applicable, for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Bankers’ Acceptance (or BA Equivalent Note), as applicable, or (c) the Eurocurrency LIBOR Rate or BA Discount Rate, as applicable, for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Bankers’ Acceptance (or BA Equivalent Note), as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or a Bankers’ Acceptance (or BA Equivalent Note), as applicable, shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or a Bankers’ Acceptance (or BA Equivalent Note), as applicable, or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of (a) US Base Rate Loans to the Canadian Borrower or US Prime Rate Loans to the US Borrowers, as applicable, in the amount specified therein with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or (b) Cdn. Prime Rate Loans in the amount specified therein with respect to Bankers’ Acceptances (or BA Equivalent Notes).

3.04. Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate) or the any L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Bankers’ Acceptance made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Bankers’ Acceptance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement .

The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or such L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in

Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.05. Compensation for Losses . Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower Agent;

(c) any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in Cdn. Dollars on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05 with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency LIBOR Rate used in determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06. Mitigation Obligations . If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 , or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 , or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02 , then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 , as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02 , as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.07. Circumstances Affecting Cdn. Dollar Availability . In connection with any request for a Cdn. Dollar Loan or Cdn. Dollar Letter of Credit (collectively, the “ Cdn. Dollar Extensions ”) or a continuation or extension thereof, if (a) for any reason a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to the Cdn. Dollar (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), (b) the introduction of, or any change in, any Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of Lenders (or any of their applicable lending office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of Lenders (or any of their applicable lending office) to honor its obligations to make or maintain any Cdn. Dollar Extensions or (c) the Lenders are otherwise unable to make a Cdn. Dollar Extension, as a result of a material disruption to the international currency markets, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower Agent and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Agent that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of Lenders to make Cdn. Dollar Extensions or any continuation or extension thereof, as applicable, shall be suspended and the Borrowers shall either (i) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of such Cdn. Dollar Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Cdn. Dollar Loans or (ii) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Cdn. Dollar Loans to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in US Dollars or a US Base Rate Loan with respect to the Canadian Borrower or a US Prime Rate Loan with respect to the US Borrowers, as applicable, as of the last day of such Interest Period; provided that if the Borrower Agent elects to make such conversion, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and Lenders any and all costs, fees and other expenses, if any, incurred by the Administrative Agent and Lenders in effecting such conversion.

130

Borrower or Guarantor, directly or indirectly, uses any proceeds of the applicable Loans or L/C Obligations to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral, payments in respect of the Obligations shall be deemed applied first to the Obligations arising from Loans and L/C Obligations that were not used for such purposes and second to the Obligations arising from Loans and L/C Obligations the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral in the chronological order in which such Borrower acquired such rights in or the use of such Collateral.

(c) Loans in Respect of Bankers’ Acceptances . If any Borrower does not pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders the face amount of any unmatured Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.06 , the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may at its option at any time without notice to the Borrowers give notice to the Lenders to make a Cdn.

The Borrowers will each execute and deliver as security for such Loans all such security as the Lenders may deem necessary or advisable including an assignment of the credit balance in respect of such Cash Collateral account.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring or removed Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above with the written consent of the Borrower Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders

133

that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.

The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative 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 the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of Montreal as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit having the same terms (other than pricing not specified in Section 2.03(i)) , including face amount as, and, in substitution for, the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Agent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided , however , that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with the Assignment Fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 10.06 ; provided that the Administrative Agent may elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The Eligible Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(v) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 3.01 , 3.04, 3.05 , and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of

144

this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent 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 each of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d) Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers 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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 , 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, enter in a register 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 (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any

145

commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person 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

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights . A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 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 Borrowers’ 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 3.01 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges . Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments . The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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 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.

(h) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “ Granting Lender ”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (an “ SPC ”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.12(b)(ii) . Each party hereto hereby agrees that (A) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by

146

any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04 ), (B) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (C) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (1) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (2) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i) Resignation as an L/C Issuer after Assignment . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Lender that is an L/C Issuer assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such Lender may, upon 45 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the other Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer. If a Lender resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) . Upon the appointment of any successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) such successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit having the same terms (other than pricing not specified in Section 2.03(i)) , including face amount as, and, in substitution for, the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.07. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (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

147

confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Bank Product or Swap Contract, (vii) with the consent of the Borrowers or (viii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers.

(b) For purposes of this Section, “ Information ” means all information received from any Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from any Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. 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.

(c) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal Securities Laws and state securities Laws.

10.08. Right of Set-off . If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office

148

holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.09. Interest Rate Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law or would result in any Lender collecting interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) (the “ Maximum Rate ”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.11. Integration . This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

10.12. Survival of Representations and Warranties . All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the

149

Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

10.13. Severability . If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.14. Replacement of Lenders . If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 , or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 , or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders, each Lender affected thereby or other similar formulation was required and Required Lenders consented, or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their 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, and consents required by, Section 10.06 ), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the Assignment Fee;

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05 ) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01 , such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

150

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.15. Canadian Borrower Service of Process . The Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Corporation Service Company its authorized agent to accept and acknowledge service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in this Article X and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding upon Corporation Service Company in any manner or by the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Company’s address referred to in Section 10.02 . The Canadian Borrower agrees that such service (a) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (b) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Nothing in this Section 10.15 shall affect the right of any Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or limit the right of any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in any court of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

10.16. Governing Law.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY, OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS , WHICH THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE, SUBJECT TO SUCH OTHER FORM OF NOTICE AS MAY BE REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW WITH RESPECT TO THE CANADIAN BORROWER.

151

10.17. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury . EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

10.18. Time of the Essence . Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

10.19. Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement among the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements among the parties.

10.20. Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

(a) The liability of the Borrowers for all amounts due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement shall be joint and several regardless of which Borrower actually receives Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower’s Obligations with respect to Loans made to it, and each Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder, with respect to Loans made to the other Borrower hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of each Borrower.

(b) Each Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans or other extensions of credit made to another Borrower hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (1) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the Obligations of such other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of such other Borrower, (2) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from such other Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (3) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by the Administrative Agent or any

152

Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of such other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by such other Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (4) the failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of such other Borrower, (5) the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (6) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by such other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (7) the disallowance of all or any portion of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of such other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (8) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of such other Borrower. With respect to each Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans or other extensions of credit made to any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Lender now or may hereafter have against any Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(c) Upon any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against either Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations, subject to all applicable Laws including any requirements under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act for prior authorization. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of such Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

10.21. Contribution and Indemnification between the Borrowers . Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligor under this Agreement. To the extent that a Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to the other Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by the other Borrower (an “ Accommodation Payment ”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, the other Borrower in an amount, for such other Borrower, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of both of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (the “ UFTA ”) or Section 271 of the New York Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (the “ UFCA ”), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Sections 274 and 275 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy

153

Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 275 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contributions, indemnification and reimbursement under this Section shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

10.22. Appointment of Borrower Agent as Agent for Requesting Loans and Receipts of Loans and Statements . Each Borrower hereby designates the Canadian Borrower (“ Borrower Agent ”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of either Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

10.23. USA Patriot Act Notice . Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

10.24. Binding Effect; Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement . This Agreement shall become effective at such time, on or after the Closing Date, that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01 have been satisfied and when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall receive copies hereof (telecopied or otherwise) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender (including the L/C Issuers), and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Borrower, each Lender (including the L/C Issuers) and the Administrative Agent, together with their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement and is not intended to be or operate as a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Existing Credit Agreement or the Obligations evidenced or secured thereby or provided for thereunder.

10.25. Judgment Currency . If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other

currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

10.26. Lender Action . Other than following an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f), each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 10.26 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions, stipulations, and agreements set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as required by the Consent and Amendment and other valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby consents and agrees as follows:

Section1. By this Agreement, (a) Atlantic Rockland becomes a Guarantor for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the US Guaranty and (b) Atlantic Rockland becomes a “Pledgor” under the 2011 Pledge subject to the qualifications set forth in Section 3(b) hereof.

5.3. Due Authorization, Non-Contravention, etc . The execution, delivery and performance by such Borrower of this Consent and the performance by such Borrower of the Credit Agreement are within the corporate powers of such Borrower, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not (a) contravene such Borrower’s Organization Documents, including, without limitation, its articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other similar Organization Documents (except as such, in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), (b) contravene any contractual restriction, law or governmental regulation or court decree or order binding on or affecting such Borrower (except as such, in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), (c) result in, or require the creation or imposition of, any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any Properties (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) of such Borrower (except as such, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), or (d) contravene, result in or cause a breach of, or a default under, any material contract, promissory note, indenture or other similar agreement or instrument to which such Borrower or any Loan Party is a party or an obligor (except as such, in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).

5.4. Validity, etc . This Consent constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms except as such enforceability is subject to the effect of (a) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS CONSENT. This Consent, including the consent set forth in Section 2 and the releases set forth in Section 3 , shall become effective (the “ Effective Date ”) upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent.
