(i) all Indebtedness (x) (other than revolving Indebtedness, except to the extent the same is incurred to refinance other outstanding Indebtedness or to finance a Permitted Acquisition) incurred or issued after the first day of the relevant Test Period (whether incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition, to refinance Indebtedness or otherwise) shall be deemed to have been incurred or issued (and the proceeds thereof applied) on the first day of the respective Test Period and remain outstanding through the date of determination and (y) (other than revolving Indebtedness except to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction) permanently retired or redeemed after the first day of the relevant Test Period shall be deemed to have been retired or redeemed on the first day of the respective Test Period and remain retired through the date of determination;

(ii) all Indebtedness assumed to be outstanding pursuant to the preceding clause (i) shall be deemed to have borne interest at (x) the rate applicable thereto, in the case of fixed rate indebtedness, or (y) at the rate which would have been applicable thereto on the last day of the respective Test Period, in the case of floating rate Indebtedness (although interest expense with respect to any Indebtedness for periods while the same was actually outstanding during the respective period shall be calculated using the actual rates applicable thereto while the same was actually outstanding);

(iii) in making any determination of Consolidated EBITDA, pro forma effect shall be given to any disposition of assets constituting a business, division, product line, manufacturing facility or distribution facility of the Lead Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower or of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower consummated during the periods described above, with such Consolidated EBITDA to be determined as if such disposition (or the relevant portion thereof) was consummated on the first day of the relevant Test Period.

(iv) in making any determination of Consolidated EBITDA, pro forma effect shall be given to any Permitted Acquisition consummated during the periods described above (excluding that portion of the assets or business acquired pursuant to any Permitted Acquisition which has been sold or disposed of thereafter and prior to the date of the respective determination), with such Consolidated EBITDA to be

-42-

determined as if such Permitted Acquisition (or the relevant portion thereof) was consummated on the first day of the relevant Test Period. Pro forma calculations for any fiscal period ending on or prior to the first anniversary of a Permitted Acquisition may include adjustments to reflect operating expense reductions or other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from such Permitted Acquisition, less the amount of costs reasonably expected to be incurred by the Lead Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiaries to achieve such cost savings, to the extent that the Lead Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of the Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower setting forth such operating expense reductions and the costs to achieve such reductions and (ii) information and calculations supporting in reasonable detail such estimated operating expense reductions and the costs to achieve such reductions; provided that any increase in Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Consolidated EBITDA; and

(v) in making any determination of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, in the event that the Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, assumes, guarantees, repays, repurchases, redeems, defeases or otherwise discharges any Indebtedness (other than in the case of revolving credit borrowings, in which case interest expense will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the Test Period), subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated and on or prior to the date on which the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”), then the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as if such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, repayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other discharge of Indebtedness, and the use of the proceeds therefrom, had occurred at the beginning of the Test Period.

For purposes of this definition, if any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, the interest on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any hedging obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such hedging obligations have a remaining term in excess of 12 months as of the Calculation Date). For purposes of this definition, interest on a Finance Lease Obligation will be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Finance Lease Obligation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, will be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Lead Borrower may designate.

“Properly Contested” shall mean in the case of any obligation of a Borrower or Canadian Credit Party for Taxes or other governmental assessments or claims that could result in a Lien, which is not paid as and when due or payable by reason of such Borrower’s or Canadian Credit Party’s bona fide dispute concerning its liability to pay same or concerning the amount thereof, (i) such obligation is being properly contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted; (ii) such Borrower or Canadian Credit Party has established appropriate reserves as shall be required in conformity with U.S. GAAP; (iii) the non-payment of such obligation, individually or in the aggregate with other non-payment of obligations due and payable, will not have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in a forfeiture of any assets of such Borrower or Canadian Credit Party; (iv) no Lien is imposed upon any of such Borrower’s or Canadian Credit Party’s assets with respect to such obligation unless such Lien is at all times junior and subordinate in priority to the Liens in favor of the Agents (except only with respect to property taxes and other payables that have priority as a matter of Applicable Law and with respect to Liens securing obligations that do not exceed in the aggregate with respect to all such obligations $2,000,000 per fiscal year, unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) or enforcement of such Lien is stayed (or if such obligation is fully bonded, no enforcement action has been commenced against any of the Collateral) during the period prior to the final resolution or disposition of such dispute; (v) if the obligation results from, or is determined by the entry, rendition or issuance against a Borrower or Canadian Credit Party or any of its assets of, a judgment, writ, order or decree, enforcement of such judgment, writ, order or decree is stayed pending a timely appeal or other judicial review or if such obligation is fully bonded, no

-43-

enforcement action has been commenced against any of the Collateral; and (vi) if such contest is abandoned, settled or determined adversely (in whole or in part) to such Borrower or Canadian Credit Party, such Borrower or Canadian Credit Party forthwith pays such obligation and all penalties, interest and other amounts due in connection therewith.
