Agreement and, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and

Loans to the Borrowers, participate in Swing Loans made by the Swing Line Lender

Borrower in such aggregate amount as the applicable Borrower shall request
pursuant to the Commitment; provided that in no event shall the aggregate
principal amount of all Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding under this
Agreement be in excess of the Total Commitment Amount.

(b)    Each Lender, for itself and not one for any other, agrees to make Loans,
participate in Swing Loans, and issue or participate in Letters of Credit,
during the Commitment Period, on such basis that, immediately after the
completion of any borrowing by the Borrowers or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit:

(i)    the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans made by such Lender
(other than Swing Loans made by the Swing Line Lender), when combined with such
Lender’s pro rata share, if any, of the Letter of Credit Exposure and the Swing
Line Exposure, shall not be in excess of the Maximum Amount for such Lender; and

(ii)    with respect to each Specific Commitment, the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Loans (other than Swing Loans) made by such Lender with
respect to such Specific Commitment shall represent that percentage of the
aggregate principal amount then outstanding on all Loans (other than Swing
Loans) within such Specific Commitment that shall be such Lender’s Applicable
Commitment Percentage.

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Within each Specific Commitment, each borrowing (other than Swing Loans which
shall be risk participated on a pro rata basis) from the Lenders shall be made
pro rata according to the respective Applicable Commitment Percentages of the
Lenders.

(c)    The Loans may be made as US Revolving Loans as described in Section
2.2A(a) hereof, Canadian Revolving Loans as described in Section 2.2B(a) hereof,
as the U.S. Term Loan as described in Section 2.3 hereof, as the Canadian Term

2.2B(c) hereof, and US Letters of Credit may be issued in accordance with
Section 2.2A(b) hereof and Canadian Letters of Credit may be issued in
accordance with Section 2.2B(b) hereof.

Section 2.2A. US Revolving Credit Commitment.

(a)    US Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Revolving Lenders shall make a US
Revolving Loan or US Revolving Loans to the US Borrower in such amount or
amounts as the Administrative Borrower, through an Authorized Officer, may from
time to time request, but not exceeding in aggregate principal amount at any
time outstanding hereunder the Revolving Amount, when such US Revolving Loans
are combined with the US Letter of Credit Exposure, the US Swing Line Exposure
and the Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure. The US Borrower shall have the
option, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to borrow US
Revolving Loans, maturing on the last day of the Commitment Period, by means of
any combination of Base Rate Loans, Daily LIBOR Loans or Eurodollar Loans.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the US Borrower shall be entitled

to time during the Commitment Period. The aggregate outstanding amount of all US
Revolving Loans shall be payable in full on the last day of the Commitment
Period.

the Commitment Period, the Issuing Lender shall, in its own name, on behalf of
the Revolving Lenders, issue such US Letters of Credit for the account of the US
Borrower or a Domestic Guarantor of Payment, as the Administrative Borrower may
from time to time request. The Administrative Borrower shall not request any US
Letter of Credit (and the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue any US
Letter of Credit) if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the US Letter of Credit
Exposure would exceed the US Letter of Credit Commitment, or (B) the Revolving
Credit Exposure would exceed the Revolving Amount. The issuance of each US
Letter of Credit shall confer upon each Revolving Lender the benefits and
liabilities of a participation consisting of an undivided pro rata interest in
the US Letter of Credit to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable
Commitment Percentage. For the avoidance of doubt, such US Letters of Credit may
be used to secure payment obligations of a Mexican Subsidiary under a commercial

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent (and to the Issuing Lender, if

Authorized Officer not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) three Business Days
prior to the date of the proposed issuance of the US Letter of Credit (or such
shorter period as may be acceptable to the Issuing Lender). Each such request
shall be in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and the Issuing
Lender, if the Issuing Lender is a Lender other than the Administrative Agent)
and shall specify the face amount thereof, whether such US Letter of Credit is a
commercial documentary or a standby US Letter of Credit, the account party, the
beneficiary, the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension,
the expiry date thereof, and the nature of the transaction or obligation to be
supported thereby. Concurrently with each such request, the US Borrower, and any
Domestic Guarantor of Payment for whose account the US Letter of Credit is to be
issued, shall execute and deliver to the Issuing Lender an appropriate
application and agreement, being in the standard form of the Issuing Lender for
such letters of credit, as amended to conform to the provisions of this
Agreement if required by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall give the Issuing Lender and each Revolving Lender notice of each such
request for a US Letter of Credit.

(iii)    Commercial Documentary Letters of Credit Fees. With respect to each US
Letter of Credit that shall be a commercial documentary letter of credit and the
drafts thereunder, whether issued for the account of the US Borrower or a
Domestic Guarantor of Payment, the US Borrower agrees to (A) pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Lenders, a
non-refundable commission based upon the undrawn amount of such US Letter of
Credit, which shall be paid quarterly in arrears, on each Regularly Scheduled
Payment Date, in an amount equal to the aggregate sum of the Letter of Credit
Fee for such US Letter of Credit for each day of such quarter; (B) pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the sole benefit of the Issuing Lender, an additional

Credit is issued, amended or renewed, at the rate of one-eighth percent (1/8%)

Administrative Agent, for the sole benefit of the Issuing Lender, such other
issuance, amendment, renewal, negotiation, draw, acceptance, telex, courier,
postage and similar transactional fees as are customarily charged by the Issuing

credit under its fee schedule as in effect from time to time.

(iv)    Standby Letters of Credit Fees. With respect to each US Letter of Credit
that shall be a standby letter of credit and the drafts thereunder, if any,
whether issued for the account of the US Borrower or a Domestic Guarantor of
Payment, the US Borrower agrees to (A) pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
pro rata benefit of the Revolving Lenders, a non-refundable commission based
upon the undrawn amount of such US Letter of Credit, which shall be paid
quarterly in arrears, on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date, in an amount
equal to the aggregate sum of the Letter of Credit Fee for such US Letter of
Credit for each day of such quarter; (B) pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the sole benefit of the Issuing Lender, an additional Letter of Credit fee,
which shall be paid on each date that such US Letter of Credit is issued,
amended or renewed at the rate of one-eighth percent (1/8%)

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the undrawn amount of such US Letter of Credit; and (C) pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the sole benefit of the Issuing Lender, such other
issuance, amendment, renewal, negotiation, draw, acceptance, telex, courier,
postage and similar transactional fees as are customarily charged by the Issuing
Lender in respect of the issuance and administration of similar letters of
credit under its fee schedule as in effect from time to time.

(v)    Refunding of US Letters of Credit with US Revolving Loans. Whenever a US
Letter of Credit shall be drawn, the US Borrower shall promptly reimburse the
Issuing Lender for the amount drawn. In the event that the amount drawn shall
not have been reimbursed by the US Borrower on the date of the drawing of such
US Letter of Credit, at the sole option of the Administrative Agent, the US
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a US Revolving Loan, subject to the
provisions of Sections 2.2A(a) and 2.7 hereof (other than the requirement set
forth in Section 2.7(d) hereof), in the amount drawn. Such US Revolving Loan
shall be evidenced by the US Revolving Credit Notes (or, if a Lender has not
requested a US Revolving Credit Note, by the records of the Administrative Agent
and such Lender). Each Revolving Lender agrees to make a US Revolving Loan on
the date of such notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make a US
Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.2A(a) hereof when required by this Section
2.2A(b)(v) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that its payment to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, of the proceeds of
such US Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment,
counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the
Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. The US
Borrower irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to apply
the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2A(b)(v) to reimburse,
in full (other than the Issuing Lender’s pro rata share of such borrowing), the
Issuing Lender for the amount drawn on such US Letter of Credit. Each such US
Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested
by and available to the US Borrower hereunder. Each Revolving Lender is hereby
authorized to record on its records relating to its US Revolving Credit Note
(or, if such Revolving Lender has not requested a US Revolving Credit Note, its
records relating to US Revolving Loans) such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share
of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the US Letters of Credit.

(vi)    Participation in US Letters of Credit. If, for any reason, the
Administrative Agent (and the Issuing Lender if the Issuing Lender is a
Revolving Lender other than the Administrative Agent) shall be unable to or, in
the opinion of the Administrative Agent, it shall be impracticable to, convert
any amount drawn under a US Letter of Credit to a US Revolving Loan pursuant to
the preceding subsection, the Administrative Agent (and the Issuing Lender if
the Issuing Lender is a Revolving Lender other than the Administrative Agent)
shall have the right to request that each Revolving Lender fund a participation
in the amount due with respect to such US Letter of Credit, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof (by
facsimile or email (in each case confirmed by telephone) or telephone (confirmed
in writing). Upon such notice, but without

44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

further action, the Issuing Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Revolving
Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Issuing
Lender, an undivided participation interest in the amount due with respect to
such US Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Commitment Percentage of the principal amount due with respect to
such US Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing,
each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt
of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Issuing Lender, such Revolving Lender’s ratable share of the amount due
with respect to such US Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with such
Revolving Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage). Each Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in the
amount due under any US Letter of Credit that is drawn but not reimbursed by the
US Borrower pursuant to this subsection (vi) shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without
limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment,
counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the
Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Each
Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this subsection (vi) by
wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.7 hereof with respect to US Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender is
hereby authorized to record on its records such Revolving Lender’s pro rata
share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit. In
addition, each Revolving Lender agrees to risk participate in the Existing
Letters of Credit as provided in subsection (vii) below.

(vii)    Existing Letters of Credit. Schedule 2.2 hereto contains a description
of all letters of credit outstanding on, and to continue in effect after, the
Closing Date. Each such letter of credit issued by a bank that is or becomes a
Revolving Lender under this Agreement on the Closing Date (each, an “Existing
Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “US Letter of Credit” for all purposes of
this Agreement, issued, for purposes of Section 2.2A(b)(v) hereof, on the
Closing Date. The US Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving
Lenders hereby agree that, from and after such date, the terms of this Agreement
shall apply to the Existing Letters of Credit, superseding any other agreement
theretofore applicable to them to the extent inconsistent with the terms hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any reimbursement agreement
applicable to the Existing Letters of Credit, the fees payable in connection
with each Existing Letter of Credit to be shared with the Revolving Lenders
shall accrue from the Closing Date at the rate provided in Section 2.2A(b)(iii)
and (iv) hereof.

(viii)    Auto-Renewal of US Letters of Credit. If the Administrative Borrower
so requests, a US Letter of Credit shall have an automatic renewal provision;
provided that any US Letter of Credit that has an automatic renewal provision
must permit the Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Lender if the Issuing
Lender is a Lender other than the Administrative Agent) to prevent any such
renewal by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than thirty
(30) days prior to the renewal date of such US Letter of Credit. Once any such
US Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued, the
Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administrative Agent (and the Issuing Lender) to permit at any time the renewal
of such US Letter of Credit to an expiry date not later than one year after the
last day of the Commitment Period.

(ix)    US Letters of Credit Outstanding Beyond the Commitment Period. If any US
Letter of Credit is or will be outstanding upon the termination of the US
Revolving Credit Commitment, then, prior to such termination, the US Borrower
shall deposit with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing
Lender, with respect to all outstanding US Letters of Credit, either cash or a
Supporting Letter of Credit, which, in each case, is (A) in an amount equal to
one hundred three percent (103%) of the undrawn amount of the outstanding US
Letters of Credit, and (B) free and clear of all rights and claims of third
parties. The cash shall be deposited in an escrow account at a financial
institution designated by the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender shall be
entitled to withdraw (with respect to the cash) or draw (with respect to the
Supporting Letter of Credit) amounts necessary to reimburse the Issuing Lender
for payments to be made under the US Letters of Credit and any fees and expenses
associated with such US Letters of Credit, or incurred pursuant to the
reimbursement agreements with respect to such US Letters of Credit. The US
Borrower shall also execute such documentation as the Administrative Agent or
the Issuing Lender may reasonably require in connection with the survival of the
US Letters of Credit beyond the Commitment or this Agreement. After expiration
of all undrawn US Letters of Credit, the Supporting Letter of Credit or the
remainder of the cash, as the case may be, shall promptly be returned to the US
Borrower.

(c)    US Swing Loans.

(i)    Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during
the Commitment Period, the Swing Line Lender shall make a US Swing Loan or US
Swing Loans to the US Borrower in such amount or amounts as the US Borrower,
through an Authorized Officer, may from time to time request; provided that the
US Borrower shall not request any US Swing Loan if, after giving effect thereto,
(A) the US Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the US Revolving Credit
Commitment, (B) the US Swing Line Exposure would exceed the US Swing Line
Commitment, or (C) the Swing Line Exposure would exceed the Swing Line
Commitment. Each US Swing Loan shall be due and payable on the Swing Loan
Maturity Date applicable thereto. Each US Swing Loan shall be made in Dollars.

(ii)    Refunding of US Swing Loans. If the Swing Line Lender so elects, by
giving notice to the Administrative Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, the US
Borrower agrees that the Swing Line Lender shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to require that the then outstanding US Swing Loans be refinanced as
a US Revolving Loan. Such US Revolving Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan unless
otherwise requested by and available to the US Borrower hereunder. Upon receipt
of such notice by Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, the US Borrower shall be
deemed, on such day, to have requested a US Revolving Loan in the principal
amount of such US Swing Loan in accordance with Sections 2.2A(a) and 2.7 hereof
(other than the requirement set forth in Section 2.7(d) hereof). Such US
Revolving

46

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loan shall be evidenced by the US Revolving Credit Notes (or, if a Revolving
Lender has not requested a US Revolving Credit Note, by the records of the
Administrative Agent and such Revolving Lender). Each Revolving Lender agrees to
make a US Revolving Loan on the date of such notice, subject to no conditions
precedent whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that such
Revolving Lender’s obligation to make a US Revolving Loan pursuant to Section
2.2A(a) hereof when required by this Section 2.2A(c)(ii) is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
Event of Default, and that its payment to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Swing Line Lender, of the proceeds of such US Revolving Loan
shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim,

authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to apply the proceeds of any
borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2A(c)(ii) to repay in full such US Swing
Loan. Each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to record on its records
relating to its US Revolving Credit Note (or, if such Revolving Lender has not
requested a US Revolving Credit Note, its records relating to US Revolving
Loans) such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of the amounts paid to refund such
US Swing Loan.

(iii)    Participation in US Swing Loans. If, for any reason, the Swing Line
Lender is unable to or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, it is
impracticable to, convert any US Swing Loan to a US Revolving Loan pursuant to
the preceding Section 2.2A(c)(ii), then on any day that a US Swing Loan is
outstanding (whether before or after the maturity thereof), the Administrative
Agent shall have the right to request that each Revolving Lender fund a
participation in such US Swing Loan, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Revolving Lender thereof (by facsimile or email (in each case
confirmed by telephone) or telephone (confirmed in writing)). Upon such notice,
but without further action, the Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to grant to each
Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the
Swing Line Lender, an undivided participation interest in the right to share in
the payment of such US Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of such US Swing Loan.
In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided
above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Line
Lender, such Revolving Lender’s ratable share of such US Swing Loan (determined
in accordance with such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage).
Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations in US Swing Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2A(c)(iii) is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a
Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction
whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been
reduced or terminated. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation
under this Section 2.2A(c)(iii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds,

47

in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 hereof with respect to US
Revolving Loans to be made by such Revolving Lender.

Section 2.2B. Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment.

(a)    Canadian Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Revolving Lenders shall make a
Canadian Revolving Loan or Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrower in
such amount or amounts as the Administrative Borrower, through an Authorized
Officer, may from time to time request, but not exceeding in aggregate principal
amount at any time outstanding hereunder (a) the Canadian Revolving Amount, when
such Canadian Revolving Loans are combined with the Canadian Letter of Credit
Exposure and the Canadian Swing Line Exposure, and (b) the Revolving Amount,
when such Canadian Revolving Loans are combined with the Canadian Letter of
Credit Exposure, the Canadian Swing Line Exposure and the US Revolving Credit

Canadian Borrower, as the Administrative Borrower may from time to time request.
The Administrative Borrower shall not request any Canadian Letter of Credit (and
the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue any Canadian Letter of
Credit) if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Canadian Letter of Credit
Exposure would exceed the Canadian Letter of Credit Commitment, (B) the Canadian
Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment,
or (C) the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitment. The issuance of each Canadian Letter of Credit shall confer upon
each Revolving Lender the benefits and liabilities of a participation consisting
of an undivided pro rata interest in the Canadian Letter of Credit to the extent
of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage.

(ii)    Request for Canadian Letter of Credit. Each request for a Canadian
Letter of Credit shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent (and to the
Issuing Lender, if the Issuing Lender is a Lender other than the Administrative
Agent) by an Authorized Officer not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) three
Business Days prior to the date of the proposed issuance of the Canadian Letter
of Credit (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Issuing Lender).
Each such request shall be in a form acceptable to the Administrative

48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agent (and the Issuing Lender, if the Issuing Lender is a Lender other than the
Administrative Agent) and shall specify the face amount thereof, whether such
Canadian Letter of Credit is a commercial documentary or a standby Canadian
Letter of Credit, the account party, the beneficiary, the requested date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the expiry date thereof, and the
nature of the transaction or obligation to be supported thereby. Concurrently
with each such request, the Canadian Borrower, shall execute and deliver to the
Issuing Lender an appropriate application and agreement, being in the standard
form of the Issuing Lender for such letters of credit, as amended to conform to
the provisions of this Agreement if required by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall give the Issuing Lender and each Revolving Lender
notice of each such request for a Canadian Letter of Credit.

(iii)    Commercial Documentary Letters of Credit Fees. With respect to each
Canadian Letter of Credit that shall be a commercial documentary letter of
credit and the drafts thereunder, the Canadian Borrower agrees to (A) pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Lenders, a
non-refundable commission based upon the undrawn amount of such Canadian Letter
of Credit, which shall be paid quarterly in arrears, on each Regularly Scheduled
Payment Date, in an amount equal to the aggregate sum of the Letter of Credit
Fee for such Canadian Letter of Credit for each day of such quarter; (B) pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the sole benefit of the Issuing Lender, an
additional Letter of Credit fee, which shall be paid on each date that such
Canadian Letter of Credit is issued, amended or renewed, at the rate of
one-eighth percent (1/8%) of the undrawn amount of such Canadian Letter of
Credit; and (C) pay to the Administrative Agent, for the sole benefit of the
Issuing Lender, such other issuance, amendment, renewal, negotiation, draw,
acceptance, telex, courier, postage and similar transactional fees as are

of Credit for each day of such quarter; (B) pay to the Administrative Agent, for

amended or renewed at the rate of one-eighth percent (1/8%) of the undrawn
amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit; and (C) pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the sole benefit of the Issuing Lender, such other issuance,

49

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(v)    Refunding of Canadian Letters of Credit with Canadian Revolving Loans.
Whenever a Canadian Letter of Credit shall be drawn, the Canadian Borrower shall
promptly reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount drawn. In the event that
the amount drawn shall not have been reimbursed by the Canadian Borrower on the
date of the drawing of such Canadian Letter of Credit, at the sole option of the
Administrative Agent, the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a
Canadian Revolving Loan, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2B(a) and 2.7
hereof (other than the requirement set forth in Section 2.7(d) hereof), in the
amount drawn. Such Canadian Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Canadian
Revolving Credit Notes (or, if a Lender has not requested a Canadian Revolving
Credit Note, by the records of the Administrative Agent and such Lender). Each
Revolving Lender agrees to make a Canadian Revolving Loan on the date of such
notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make a Canadian Revolving Loan
pursuant to Section 2.2B(a) hereof when required by this Section 2.2B(b)(v)
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that its payment to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, of the proceeds of
such Canadian Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement,
recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not
the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated.
The Canadian Borrower irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative
Agent to apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2B(b)(v)
to reimburse, in full (other than the Issuing Lender’s pro rata share of such
borrowing), the Issuing Lender for the amount drawn on such Canadian Letter of
Credit. Each such Canadian Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan
unless otherwise requested by and available to the Canadian Borrower hereunder.
Each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to record on its records relating to
its Canadian Revolving Credit Note (or, if such Revolving Lender has not
requested a Canadian Revolving Credit Note, its records relating to Canadian
Revolving Loans) such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of the amounts paid and
not reimbursed on the Canadian Letters of Credit.

(vi)    Participation in Canadian Letters of Credit. If, for any reason, the
Administrative Agent (and the Issuing Lender if the Issuing Lender is a
Revolving Lender other than the Administrative Agent) shall be unable to or, in
the opinion of the Administrative Agent, it shall be impracticable to, convert
any amount drawn under a Canadian Letter of Credit to a Canadian Revolving Loan
pursuant to the preceding subsection, the Administrative Agent (and the Issuing
Lender if the Issuing Lender is a Revolving Lender other than the Administrative
Agent) shall have the right to request that each Revolving Lender fund a
participation in the amount due with respect to such Canadian Letter of Credit,
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof
(by facsimile or email (in each case confirmed by telephone) or telephone
(confirmed in writing). Upon such notice, but without further action, the
Issuing Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Revolving Lender, and each
Revolving Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Issuing Lender, an undivided
participation interest in the amount due with respect to such Canadian Letter of
Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Commitment
Percentage of the principal amount due with respect to such Canadian Letter of
Credit. In

50

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above,
to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such
Revolving Lender’s ratable share of the amount due with respect to such Canadian
Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Commitment Percentage). Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to acquire participations in the amount due under any
Canadian Letter of Credit that is drawn but not reimbursed by the Canadian
Borrower pursuant to this subsection (vi) shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without
limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment,
counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the
Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Each
Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this subsection (vi) by
wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.7 hereof with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans. Each Revolving
Lender is hereby authorized to record on its records such Revolving Lender’s pro
rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Canadian Letters of
Credit.

(vii)    Auto-Renewal of Canadian Letters of Credit. If the Administrative
Borrower so requests, a Canadian Letter of Credit shall have an automatic
renewal provision; provided that any Canadian Letter of Credit that has an
automatic renewal provision must permit the Administrative Agent (or the Issuing
Lender if the Issuing Lender is a Lender other than the Administrative Agent) to
prevent any such renewal by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not
later than thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date of such Canadian Letter of
Credit. Once any such Canadian Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal
provisions has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have
authorized (but may not require) the Administrative Agent (and the Issuing
Lender) to permit at any time the renewal of such Canadian Letter of Credit to
an expiry date not later than one year after the last day of the Commitment
Period.

(viii)    Canadian Letters of Credit Outstanding Beyond the Commitment Period.
If any Canadian Letter of Credit is or will be outstanding upon the termination
of the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment, then, prior such termination, the
Canadian Borrower shall deposit with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Issuing Lender, with respect to all outstanding Canadian Letters of
Credit, either cash or a Supporting Letter of Credit, which, in each case, is
(A) in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the undrawn amount
of the outstanding Canadian Letters of Credit, and (B) free and clear of all
rights and claims of third parties. The cash shall be deposited in an escrow
account at a financial institution designated by the Issuing Lender. The Issuing
Lender shall be entitled to withdraw (with respect to the cash) or draw (with
respect to the Supporting Letter of Credit) amounts necessary to reimburse the
Issuing Lender for payments to be made under the Canadian Letters of Credit and
any fees and expenses associated with such Canadian Letters of Credit, or
incurred pursuant to the reimbursement agreements with respect to such Canadian
Letters of Credit. The Canadian Borrower shall also execute such documentation
as the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender may reasonably require in
connection

51

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with the survival of the Canadian Letters of Credit beyond the Commitment or
this Agreement. After expiration of all undrawn Canadian Letters of Credit, the
Supporting Letter of Credit or the remainder of the cash, as the case may be,
shall promptly be returned to the Canadian Borrower.

(c)    Canadian Swing Loans.

(i)    Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during
the Commitment Period, the Swing Line Lender shall make a Canadian Swing Loan or
Canadian Swing Loans to the Canadian Borrower in such amount or amounts as the
Canadian Borrower, through an Authorized Officer, may from time to time request;
provided that the Canadian Borrower shall not request any Canadian Swing Loan
if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Canadian Revolving Credit Exposure
would exceed the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment, (B) the Canadian Swing
Line Exposure would exceed the Canadian Swing Line Commitment, or (C) the Swing
Line Exposure would exceed the Swing Line Commitment. Each Canadian Swing Loan
shall be due and payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto.
Each Canadian Swing Loan shall be made in Dollars.

(ii)    Refunding of Canadian Swing Loans. If the Swing Line Lender so elects,
by giving notice to the Administrative Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, the
Canadian Borrower agrees that the Swing Line Lender shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, to require that the then outstanding Canadian Swing Loans be
refinanced as a Canadian Revolving Loan. Such Canadian Revolving Loan shall be a
Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and available to the Canadian
Borrower hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice by Borrower and the Revolving
Lenders, the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed, on such day, to have requested a
Canadian Revolving Loan in the principal amount of such Canadian Swing Loan in
accordance with Sections 2.2B(a) and 2.7 hereof (other than the requirement set
forth in Section 2.7(d) hereof). Such Canadian Revolving Loan shall be evidenced
by the Canadian Revolving Credit Notes (or, if a Revolving Lender has not
requested a Canadian Revolving Credit Note, by the records of the Administrative
Agent and such Revolving Lender). Each Revolving Lender agrees to make a
Canadian Revolving Loan on the date of such notice, subject to no conditions
precedent whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that such
Revolving Lender’s obligation to make a Canadian Revolving Loan pursuant to
Section 2.2B(a) hereof when required by this Section 2.2B(c)(ii) is absolute and

Event of Default, and that its payment to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Swing Line Lender, of the proceeds of such Canadian Revolving
Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim,
withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Canadian Revolving
Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. The Canadian Borrower
irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to apply the
proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2B(c)(ii) to repay in full
such Canadian Swing Loan. Each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to record
on its records relating to its Canadian Revolving Credit Note (or, if such

relating to Canadian Revolving

52

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loans) such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of the amounts paid to refund such
Canadian Swing Loan.

Line Lender is unable to or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, it is
impracticable to, convert any Canadian Swing Loan to a Canadian Revolving Loan
pursuant to the preceding Section 2.2B(c)(ii), then on any day that a Canadian
Swing Loan is outstanding (whether before or after the maturity thereof), the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to request that each Revolving Lender
fund a participation in such Canadian Swing Loan, and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof (by facsimile or email (in
each case confirmed by telephone) or telephone (confirmed in writing)). Upon
such notice, but without further action, the Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to
grant to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to
acquire from the Swing Line Lender, an undivided participation interest in the
right to share in the payment of such Canadian Swing Loan in an amount equal to
such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage of the principal amount
of such Canadian Swing Loan. In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees,

(ii)    Daily LIBOR Loans. With respect to any portion of the Canadian Term Loan
that is a Daily LIBOR Loan, the Canadian Borrower shall pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount thereof outstanding from time to time, from the date
thereof until paid, at the Derived Daily LIBOR Rate from time to time in effect.
Interest on such Daily LIBOR Loan shall be payable, commencing March 30, 2018,
and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter and at the
maturity thereof.

(iii)    Eurodollar Loans. With respect to any portion of the Canadian Term Loan
that is a Eurodollar Loan, the Canadian Borrower shall pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan outstanding from time to time,
with the interest rate to be fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto (but subject to any increases or decreases in the Applicable Margin for
Eurodollar Loans in accordance with the definition of “Applicable Margin”), at
the Derived Eurodollar Rate. Interest on such Eurodollar Loan shall be payable
on each Interest Adjustment Date with respect to an Interest Period (provided
that, if an Interest Period shall exceed three months, the interest must also be
paid every three months, commencing three months from the beginning of such
Interest Period).

(e)    Default Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding and to the
extent authorized by applicable Laws, if an Event of Default shall occur, upon
the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (i) the
principal of each Loan and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest,
until paid, at the Default Rate, (ii) the fee for the aggregate undrawn amount
of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall be increased by two
percent (2%) in excess of the rate otherwise applicable thereto, and (iii) in
the case of any other amount not paid when due from the Borrowers hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, such amount shall bear interest at the Default
Rate; provided that, during an Event of Default under Section 7.1 or 7.12
hereof, the applicable Default Rate shall apply without any election, notice or
action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(f)    Limitation on Interest.

(i)    Generally. In no event shall the rate of interest hereunder exceed the
maximum rate allowable by Law. 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 (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

57

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable
Borrower. 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.

(ii)    Foreign Jurisdiction Interest. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower to
make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount
or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Law or would result in a
receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal or prohibited rate (as such
terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada) or any other applicable
Law), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed
to have been adjusted with the same effect as if adjusted at the Closing Date to
the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so
prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a
criminal or prohibited rate, such adjustment to be effected to the extent
necessary in each case, as follows: (A) by reducing any fees and other amounts
which would constitute interest for the purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal
Code (Canada) or any other applicable Law; (B) by reducing the amount or rate of
interest exigible under this Article II; and (C) any amount or rate of interest
referred to in this Section 2.5 shall be determined in accordance with generally
accepted actuarial practices and principles over the maximum term of this
Agreement (or over such shorter term as may be required by Section 347 of the
Criminal Code (Canada) or any other applicable Law) and, in the event of a
dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries
appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of
such determination, absent manifest error.

(a)    Revolving Loans.

(i)    US Revolving Loans. Upon the request of a Revolving Lender, to evidence
the obligation of the US Borrower to repay the portion of the US Revolving Loans

Lender in the principal amount equal to its Applicable Commitment Percentage of
the Revolving Amount, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of US

way detract from the Canadian Borrower’s obligations to such Canadian Term
Lender hereunder.

Section 2.7. Notice of Loans and Credit Events; Funding of Loans.

(a)    Notice of Loans and Credit Events. The Administrative Borrower, through
an Authorized Officer, shall provide to the Administrative Agent a Notice of
Loan prior to (i) 11:00

59

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.M. (Eastern time) on the proposed date of borrowing of, or conversion of a
Loan to, a Base Rate Loan, (ii) 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) three Business Days
prior to the proposed date of borrowing of, continuation of, or conversion of a
Loan to, a Eurodollar Loan, (iii) 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the proposed date
of borrowing of, or conversion of a Loan to, a Daily LIBOR Loan, and (iv) 2:00
P.M. (Eastern time) on the proposed date of borrowing of a Swing Loan (or such
later time as agreed to from time to time by the Swing Line Lender). An
Authorized Officer of the Administrative Borrower may verbally request a Loan,
so long as a Notice of Loan is received by the end of the same Business Day,
and, if the Administrative Agent or any Lender provides funds or initiates
funding based upon such verbal request, the Borrowers shall bear the risk with
respect to any information regarding such funding that is later determined to
have been incorrect. The Borrowers shall comply with the notice provisions set
forth in Section 2.2A(b) and 2.2B(b) hereof with respect to Letters of Credit.

(b)    Funding of Loans. The Administrative Agent shall notify the appropriate
Lenders of the date, amount and Interest Period (if applicable) promptly upon
the receipt of a Notice of Loan (other than for a Swing Loan, or a Revolving
Loan to be funded as a Swing Loan), and, in any event, by 2:00 P.M. (Eastern
time) on the date such Notice of Loan is received. On the date that the Credit
Event set forth in such Notice of Loan is to occur, each such Revolving Lender
shall provide to the Administrative Agent, not later than 3:00 P.M. (Eastern
time), the amount in Dollars in federal or other immediately available funds,
required of it. If the Administrative Agent shall elect to advance the proceeds
of such Loan prior to receiving funds from such Revolving Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon prior notice to the
Administrative Borrower, to debit any account of the appropriate Borrower or
otherwise receive such amount from the appropriate Borrower, promptly after
demand, in the event that such Revolving Lender shall fail to reimburse the
Administrative Agent in accordance with this subsection (b). The Administrative
Agent shall also have the right to receive interest from such Revolving Lender
at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the event that such Revolving Lender
shall fail to provide its portion of the Loan on the date requested and the
Administrative Agent shall elect to provide such funds.

(c)    Conversion and Continuation of Loans.

(i)    At the request of the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative
Agent, subject to the notice and other provisions of this Agreement, the
appropriate Lenders shall convert a Base Rate Loan or a Daily LIBOR Loan to one
or more Eurodollar Loans at any time and shall convert a Eurodollar Loan to a
Base Rate Loan or a Daily LIBOR Loan on any Interest Adjustment Date applicable
thereto. US Swing Loans may be converted by the Swing Line Lender to US
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2A(c)(ii) hereof. Canadian Swing
Loans may be converted by the Swing Line Lender to Canadian Revolving Loans in
accordance with Section 2.2B(c)(ii) hereof.

(ii)    At the request of the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative
Agent, subject to the notice and other provisions of this Agreement, the
appropriate Lenders shall continue one or more Eurodollar Loans as of the end of
the applicable Interest Period as a new Eurodollar Loan with a new Interest
Period; provided that if the Administrative Borrower fails to elect to continue
any Eurodollar Loan then outstanding prior to the end

60

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of Interest Period applicable thereto, then at the end of such Interest Period
such Eurodollar Loan shall continue in accordance with the definition of
“Interest Period”.

(d)    Minimum Amount. Each request for:

(i)    a Base Rate Loan shall be in an amount of not less than One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000), increased by increments of Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000);

(ii)    a Eurodollar Loan or Daily LIBOR Loan shall be in an amount of not less
than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), increased by increments of
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000); and

(iii)    a Swing Loan may be in any amount as may be agreed to by the Swing Line
Lender.

(e)    Interest Periods. The Administrative Borrower shall not request that
Daily LIBOR Loans and Eurodollar Loans be outstanding for more than eight
different interest periods at the same time.

Section 2.8. Payment on Loans and Other Obligations.

(a)    Payments Generally. Each payment made hereunder or under any other Loan
Document by a Credit Party shall be made without any offset, abatement,
recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever. To the extent
that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative
Agent, to any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its
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 or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or
such setoff had not occurred, and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication)
of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time
in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

(b)    Payments in Dollars. All payments (including prepayments) to the
Administrative Agent of the principal of or interest on each Loan or other
payment, including but not limited to principal, interest, fees or any other
amount owed by any Borrower under this Agreement, shall be made in Dollars. All
payments described in this subsection (b) shall be remitted to the
Administrative Agent, at the address of the Administrative Agent for notices
referred to in Section 11.4 hereof for the account of the appropriate Lenders
(or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as

61

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

appropriate) not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the due date thereof in
immediately available funds. Any such payments received by the Administrative
Agent (or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender) after 11:00 A.M. (Eastern
time) shall be deemed to have been made and received on the next Business Day.

(c)    Payments to Lenders. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of payments
hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately distribute to the
appropriate Lenders (except with respect to Swing Loans, which shall be paid to
the Swing Line Lender and any Lender that has funded a participation in the
Swing Loans, or, with respect to Letters of Credit, certain of which payments
shall be paid to the Issuing Lender) their respective ratable shares, if any, of
the amount of principal, interest, and commitment and other fees received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. Payments received by the
Administrative Agent shall be delivered to the Lenders in immediately available
funds. Each appropriate Lender shall record any principal, interest or other
payment, the principal amounts of Base Rate Loans, Daily LIBOR Loans, Eurodollar
Loans, Swing Loans and Letters of Credit, all prepayments and the applicable
dates, including Interest Periods, with respect to the Loans made, and payments
received by such Lender, by such method as such Lender may generally employ;
provided that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from the
obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement or any Note. The aggregate
unpaid amount of Loans, types of Loans, Interest Periods and similar information
with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit set forth on the records of the
Administrative Agent shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence with respect to
such information, including the amounts of principal, interest and fees owing to
each Lender.

(d)    Timing of Payments. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including,
without limitation, any payment to be made on any Loan, shall be stated to be
due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the
computation of the interest payable on such Loan; provided that, with respect to
a Eurodollar Loan, if the next Business Day shall fall in the succeeding
calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day and the
relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly.

Section 2.9. Prepayment.

(a)    Right to Prepay.

(i)    Each Borrower shall have the right at any time or from time to time to
prepay, on a pro rata basis for all of the appropriate Lenders (except with
respect to Swing Loans, which shall be paid to the Swing Line Lender and any
Revolving Lender that has funded a participation in such Swing Loan), all or any
part of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, as designated by the
Administrative Borrower (subject to subsection (d) below) representing the
obligations under any Specific Commitment with the proceeds of such prepayment
to be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Specific Commitment
being prepaid. Such payment shall include interest accrued on the amount so
prepaid to the date of such prepayment and any amount payable under Article III
hereof with respect to

62

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the amount being prepaid. Prepayments of Base Rate Loans and Daily LIBOR Loans
shall be without any premium or penalty.

(ii)    Each Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to
prepay, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender (and any Revolving Lender that
has funded a participation in such Swing Loan), all or any part of the principal
amount of the Swing Loans made to such Borrower then outstanding, as designated
by the Administrative Borrower, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid
to the date of such prepayment.

(b)    Notice of Prepayment. The Administrative Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of prepayment of (i) a Base Rate
Loan, a Daily LIBOR Loan or Swing Loan by no later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern
time) on the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made, and (ii) a
Eurodollar Loan by no later than 1:00 P.M. (Eastern time) three Business Days
before the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made. Swing Loans may
be prepaid without advance notice if prepaid through a “sweep” cash management
arrangement with the Administrative Agent.

(c)    Minimum Amount. Each prepayment of a Loan shall be in the principal
amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or the principal
amount of such Loan or, with respect to a Swing Loan, the principal balance of
such Swing Loan, except in the case of a mandatory payment pursuant to Section
2.11(c) or Article III hereof.

(d)    Application of Prepayments. Each voluntary and Mandatory prepayment of a
Term Loan shall be applied to the principal installments thereof in the inverse
order of their respective maturities.

Section 2.10. Commitment and Other Fees .

(a)    Commitment Fee. The US Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders, as a consideration for the
Revolving Credit Commitment, a commitment fee, for each day from the Closing
Date through the last day of the Commitment Period, in an amount equal to
(i) (A) the Revolving Amount at the end of such day, minus (B) the Revolving
Credit Exposure (exclusive of the Swing Line Exposure) at the end of such day,
multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day
divided by three hundred sixty (360). The commitment fee shall be payable
quarterly in arrears, commencing on March 30, 2018 and continuing on each
Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, and on the last day of the
Commitment Period.

(b)    Administrative Agent Fee. The US Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, for its sole benefit, the fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee
Letter.

(c)    Collateral Audit and Appraisal Fees. The US Borrower shall promptly
reimburse the Administrative Agent, for its sole benefit, for all out-of-pocket
expenses relating to (i) collateral field audits, (ii) fixed asset appraisals,
and (iii) any other collateral assessment expenses, that may be conducted by or
on behalf of the Administrative Agent. The US Borrower shall promptly

63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented costs and
expenses incurred in connection with (A) collateral field audits (which, other
than during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be conducted no more
frequently than four times per year), (B) inventory appraisals (which, other
than during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be conducted no more
frequently than two times per year), and (C) any other collateral assessment
that may be conducted from time to time by or on behalf of the Administrative
Agent, the scope and frequency of which shall be in the sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent.

(d)    Authorization to Debit Account. Each Borrower hereby agrees that the
Administrative Agent has the right to debit from any Deposit Account of such
Borrower, amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by
such Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents for payment of fees,
expenses and other amounts incurred or owing in connection therewith.

Section 2.11. Modifications to Commitment.

(a)    Optional Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment. The Administrative
Borrower may at any time and from time to time permanently reduce in whole or
ratably in part the Revolving Amount to an amount not less than the then
existing Revolving Credit Exposure, by giving the Administrative Agent not fewer
than three Business Days’ written notice of such reduction, provided that any
such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount, for all of the Lenders,
of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), increased in increments of
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the date of each such reduction and
such Revolving Lender’s proportionate share thereof. After each such partial
reduction, the commitment fees payable hereunder shall be calculated upon the
Revolving Amount as so reduced. If the Administrative Borrower reduces in whole
the Revolving Credit Commitment, on the effective date of such reduction (the
Borrowers having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the
Loans, together with all interest (if any) and commitment and other fees accrued
and unpaid with respect thereto, and provided that no Letter of Credit Exposure
or Swing Line Exposure shall exist), all of the Revolving Credit Notes shall be
delivered to the Administrative Agent marked “Canceled” and the Administrative
Agent shall redeliver such Revolving Credit Notes to the Administrative
Borrower. Any partial reduction in the Revolving Amount shall be effective
during the remainder of the Commitment Period. Upon each decrease of the
Revolving Amount, the Total Commitment Amount shall be decreased by the same
amount and the Canadian Revolving Amount shall be proportionally decreased.

(b)    Increase in Commitment.

(i)    At any time during the Commitment Increase Period, the Administrative
Borrower may request that the Administrative Agent increase the Total Commitment
Amount by (A) increasing the Revolving Amount, or (B) adding an additional term
loan facility to this Agreement (the “Additional Term Loan Facility”) (which
Additional Term Loan Facility shall be subject to subsection (c) below);
provided that the aggregate amount of all increases (revolver and term) made
pursuant to this subsection (b) shall not exceed Twenty-Five Million Dollars
($25,000,000). Each such request for an increase shall be in an amount of

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at least Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000), and may be
made by either (1) increasing, for one or more Revolving Lenders, with their
prior written consent, their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) adding
a new commitment for one or more Lenders, with their prior written consent, with
respect to the Additional Term Loan Facility, or (3) including one or more
Additional Lenders, each with a new commitment (in a minimum amount of at least
Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000)) under the Revolving
Credit Commitment or the Additional Term Loan Facility, as a party to this
Agreement (each an “Additional Commitment” and, collectively, the “Additional
Commitments”). The US Borrower shall not request any increase pursuant to this
subsection (b), and no such increase shall be permitted, if (y) a Default or an
Event of Default shall then exist, or, after giving pro forma effect to any such
increase, would exist, or (z) the Leverage Ratio would exceed 2.75 to 1.00 after
giving pro forma effect to any such increase. For clarification purposes,
nothing contained in this Section 2.11(b) shall be construed as a commitment by
any Lender to make any Additional Commitment and any such commitment by a Lender
shall be at such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

(ii)    During the Commitment Increase Period, all of the Lenders agree that the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may permit one or more Additional
Commitments upon satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each Additional
Lender, if any, shall execute an Additional Lender Assumption Agreement, (B) the
Administrative Agent shall provide to the US Borrower and each Lender a revised
Schedule 1 to this Agreement, including revised Applicable Commitment
Percentages for each of the Lenders, if appropriate, at least three Business
Days prior to the date of the effectiveness of such Additional Commitments (each
an “Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date”), and (C) the US Borrower shall
(1) deliver to the Administrative Agent the resolutions of the board of
directors of the US Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, evidencing approval of such increase and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (2) if requested by the
Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent an opinion of counsel
with respect to such increase, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, and (3) execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Lenders such appropriate replacement or additional
Notes as shall be required by the Administrative Agent (if Notes have been
requested by such Lender or Lenders). The Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to execute each Additional Lender Assumption Agreement on
behalf of the Lenders.

(iii)    On each Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date and any other date
on which any Specific Commitment is increased pursuant to this subsection (b),
as appropriate, the Lenders shall make adjustments among themselves with respect
to the Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment
fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be
necessary, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order to reallocate
among the applicable Lenders such outstanding amounts, based on the revised
Applicable Commitment Percentages and to otherwise carry out fully the intent
and terms of this Section 2.11(b) and Section 11.9(b)(ii) hereof (and the US
Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lenders any amounts that would be payable
pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof if such adjustments among the applicable Lenders
would cause a prepayment of

65

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

one or more Fixed Rate Loans). In connection therewith, it is understood and
agreed that the Maximum Amount of any Lender will not be increased (or decreased
except pursuant to subsection (a) hereof) without the prior written consent of
such Lender. At the time of any such increase, at the request of the
Administrative Agent, the applicable Credit Parties and the Lenders shall enter
into an amendment to evidence such increase and to address related provisions as
deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrative Agent. Upon each increase
of the Revolving Amount or the addition of the Additional Term Loan Facility,
the Total Commitment Amount shall be increased by the same amount.

(c)    Additional Term Loan Facility.

(i)    The Additional Term Loan Facility (A) shall rank pari passu in right of
payment with the Revolving Loans, the US Term Loan and the Canadian Term Loan;
(B) shall mature on the same date as the US Term Loan (but may have amortization
prior to such date); (C) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any
event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans, including,
without limitation, market interest rates for such Additional Term Loan Facility
and amortization consistent with that in effect for the US Term Loan; provided
that (1) in the event that the interest rate margins for such Additional Term
Loan Facility are higher than the interest rate margins for the Term Loans by
more than (in either case) fifty (50.00) basis points, then the interest rate
margins for the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that
such interest rate margins are equal to the interest rate margins for such
Additional Term Loan Facility minus fifty (50.00) basis points, and (2) in
determining the interest rate margins applicable to the Additional Term Loan
Facility and the Term Loans (x) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable
to a lead arranger (or its Affiliates) in connection therewith or to one or more
arrangers (or their affiliates) of any Additional Term Loan Facility shall be
excluded, (y) any original issue discount and upfront fees paid to the lenders
thereunder shall be included (with any original issue discount being equated to
interest based on assumed four-year life to maturity or, if shorter, the actual
weighted average life to maturity) and (z) if such Additional Term Loan Facility
includes an interest rate floor greater than the applicable interest rate floor
under any existing Term Loan, such difference between interest rate floors shall
be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining
whether an increase to the interest rate margin under such existing Term Loan
shall be required; and (D) shall made to the US Borrower.

(ii)    An Additional Term Loan Facility may be added hereunder pursuant to an
amendment or restatement (an “Additional Term Loan Facility Amendment”) of this
Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the US
Borrower, each Lender providing a commitment with respect to the Additional Term
Loan Facility, each Additional Lender providing a commitment with respect to the
Additional Term Loan Facility, and the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Additional Term Loan Facility Amendment
may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in
the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of
this Section 2.11(b) and (c) (including, without limitation, amendments to

66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the definitions in this Agreement and Section 8.7 hereof for the purpose of
treating such Additional Term Loan Facility pari passu with the US Term Loan).

Section 2.12. Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a)    Generally. With the exception of Base Rate Loans, interest on Loans,
Letter of Credit fees, Related Expenses and commitment and other fees and
charges hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred
sixty (360) days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. With
respect to Base Rate Loans, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year
having three hundred sixty-five (365) days or three hundred sixty-six (366)
days, as the case may be, and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b)    Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the
Interest Act (Canada), the rate of interest payable on any basis other than a
full calendar year may be determined by multiplying the applicable interest rate
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the period
in which interest is payable and the denominator of which is three hundred
sixty-five (365) days or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be.

(c)    Mandatory Prepayments. The applicable Borrowers shall, until each Term
Loan is paid in full, make Mandatory Prepayments (each a “Mandatory Prepayment”)
in accordance with the following provisions:

(i)    Sale of Domestic Assets. Upon the sale or other disposition of any assets
by the US Borrower or Domestic Subsidiary to any Person other than to another
Company or in the ordinary course of business, and, to the extent the proceeds
of such sale or other disposition are in excess of One Hundred Seventy-Five
Thousand Dollars ($175,000) during any fiscal year of the US Borrower and are

such disposition net of amounts required to pay taxes and reasonable costs
applicable to such sale or disposition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the US
Borrower shall not be required to make a Mandatory Prepayment to the extent that

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Canadian Borrower shall not be required to
make a Mandatory Prepayment to the extent that such proceeds are received as a
result of the sale of any of the UFP Tools.

(iii)    Material Domestic Recovery Event. Within ten days after the occurrence
of a Material Domestic Recovery Event, the US Borrower shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent written notice thereof. Within forty-five (45) days after
such Material Recovery Event, the US Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of the US Borrower’s determination as to whether or not to replace,
rebuild or restore the affected property (a “Material Domestic Recovery
Determination Notice”). If the US Borrower decides not to

68

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

replace, rebuild or restore such property, or if the US Borrower has not
delivered the Material Domestic Recovery Determination Notice within forty-five
(45) days after such Material Domestic Recovery Event, then the proceeds of
insurance paid in connection with such Material Domestic Recovery Event, when
received, shall be paid as a Mandatory Prepayment. If the US Borrower decides to
replace, rebuild or restore such property, then any such replacement, rebuilding
or restoration must be (A) commenced within six months of the date of the
Material Domestic Recovery Event, and (B) substantially completed within twelve
(12) months of such commencement date or such longer period of time necessary to
complete the work with reasonable diligence and approved in writing by the
Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, with such casualty insurance
proceeds and other funds available to the appropriate Companies for replacement,
rebuilding or restoration of such property. Any amounts of such insurance
proceeds in connection with such Material Domestic Recovery Event not applied to
the costs of replacement or restoration shall be applied as a Mandatory
Prepayment.

(iv)    Material Foreign Recovery Event. Within ten days after the occurrence of
a Material Foreign Recovery Event, the Administrative Borrower shall furnish to
the Administrative Agent written notice thereof. Within forty-five (45) after
such Material Recovery Event, the Administrative Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of the Borrowers’ determination as to whether or not to
replace, rebuild or restore the affected property (a “Material Foreign Recovery
Determination Notice”). If the Borrowers decide not to replace, rebuild or
restore such property, or if the Administrative Borrower has not delivered the
Material Foreign Recovery Determination Notice within forty-five (45) days after
such Material Foreign Recovery Event, then the proceeds of insurance paid in
connection with such Material Foreign Recovery Event, when received, shall be
paid as a Mandatory Prepayment. If the Borrowers decide to replace, rebuild or
restore such property, then any such replacement, rebuilding or restoration must
be (A) commenced within six months of the date of the Material Foreign Recovery
Event, and (B) substantially completed within twelve (12) months of such
commencement date or such longer period of time necessary to complete the work
with reasonable diligence and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent,
in its reasonable discretion, with such casualty insurance proceeds and other
funds available to the appropriate Companies for replacement, rebuilding or
restoration of such property. Any amounts of such insurance proceeds in
connection with such Material Foreign Recovery Event not applied to the costs of
replacement or restoration shall be applied as a Mandatory Prepayment.

(v)    Additional Domestic Indebtedness. If, at any time, any of the US Borrower
or a Domestic Subsidiary shall incur Indebtedness other than Indebtedness
permitted pursuant to Section 5.8 hereof (which other Indebtedness shall not be
incurred without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the
Required Lenders), the US Borrower shall make a Mandatory Prepayment, on the
date that such Indebtedness is incurred, in an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the net cash proceeds of such Indebtedness, net of costs and
expenses related thereto.

69

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(vi)    Additional Foreign Indebtedness. If, at any time, the Canadian Borrower
or any Foreign Guarantor of Payment shall incur Indebtedness other than
Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 5.8 hereof (which other Indebtedness
shall not be incurred without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and the Required Lenders), the Canadian Borrower shall make a Mandatory
Prepayment, on the date that such Indebtedness is incurred, in an amount equal
to one hundred percent (100%) of the net cash proceeds of such Indebtedness, net
of costs and expenses related thereto.

(d)    Application of Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)    Involving a Company Prior to an Event of Default. So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred, (A) each Mandatory Prepayment required to be made
pursuant to subsection (c)(i), (iii) or (v) hereof shall be applied to the Term
Loans, on a pro rata basis between the US Term Loan and the Canadian Term Loan,
and (B) each Mandatory Prepayment required to be made pursuant to subsection
(c)(ii), (iv) or (vi) hereof shall be applied to the Canadian Term Loan.

(ii)    Involving a Company After an Event of Default.

(A)    Domestic Mandatory Prepayments. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing each Mandatory Prepayment required to be made
pursuant to subsection (c)(i), (iii) or (v) hereof shall be applied, on a pro
rata basis among: (1) the Revolving Amount (with payments to be made in the
following order: Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and to be held by the
Administrative Agent in a special account as security for any Letter of Credit
Exposure pursuant to subsection (iii) hereof), (2) the unpaid principal balance
of the US Term Loan, and (3) the unpaid principal balance of the Canadian Term
Loan. Unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders, the Revolving Credit
Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the amount of such Mandatory
Prepayment allocated thereto, whether or not there shall be any Credit Exposure
thereunder; provided that, if there shall be no Credit Exposure under any
Specific Commitment, the then remaining Mandatory Prepayment shall be paid to
the other Specific Commitments.

(B)    Foreign Mandatory Prepayments. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing each Mandatory Prepayment required to be made pursuant to
subsection (c)(ii), (iv) or (vi) hereof shall be applied, on a pro rata basis
among: (1) the Canadian Revolving Amount (with payments to be made in the
following order: Canadian Revolving Loans, Canadian Swing Loans, and to be held
by the Administrative Agent in a special account as security for any Canadian
Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to subsection (iii) hereof), and (2) the
unpaid principal balance of the Canadian Term Loan. Unless otherwise agreed by
the Required Lenders, the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment shall be
permanently reduced by the amount of such Mandatory Prepayment allocated
thereto, whether or not there shall be any Credit Exposure thereunder; provided
that, if there shall be no Credit Exposure under any Specific Commitment which
constitutes Foreign Obligations,

70

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the then remaining Mandatory Prepayment shall be paid to the other Specific
Commitments which constitute Foreign Obligations.

(iii)    Involving Letters of Credit. Any amounts to be distributed for
application to a Revolving Lender’s liabilities with respect to any Letter of
Credit Exposure as a result of a Mandatory Prepayment shall be held by the
Administrative Agent in an interest bearing trust account (the “Special Trust
Account”) as collateral security for such liabilities until a drawing on any
Letter of Credit, at which time such amounts, together with interest accrued
thereon, shall be released by the Administrative Agent and applied to such
liabilities. If any such Letter of Credit shall expire without having been drawn
upon in full, the amounts held in the Special Trust Account with respect to the
undrawn portion of such Letter of Credit, together with interest accrued
thereon, shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
provisions of subsections (i) and (ii) above.

(e)    Mandatory Payments Generally. Unless otherwise designated by the
Administrative Borrower, each Mandatory Prepayment made with respect to a
Specific Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) hereof shall be applied in
the following order: (i) first, to the outstanding Base Rate Loans, (ii) second,
to the outstanding Daily LIBOR Loans, and (iii) third to the outstanding
Eurodollar Loans, provided that, in each case, if the outstanding principal
amount of any Eurodollar Loan shall be reduced to an amount less than the
minimum amount set forth in Section 2.7(d) hereof as a result of such
prepayment, then such Eurodollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan
on the date of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to
this Section 2.13 shall be subject to the prepayment provisions set forth in
Article III hereof.

Section 2.14. Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting
Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), the US Borrower (and the Canadian Borrower with respect to any Canadian
Letter of Credit Exposure) shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s
Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after
giving effect to Section 11.10(a)(iv) hereof and any Cash Collateral provided by
such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral
Amount.

(a)    Grant of Security Interest. The US Borrower (and the Canadian Borrower
with respect to any Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure), and to the extent
provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, and agrees to
maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as
security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in
respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure, to be applied pursuant to subsection
(b) below. 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 and the Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the
total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount,
the US Borrower (or the Canadian Borrower with respect to any Canadian Letter of
Credit Exposure) 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 (after giving effect to any Cash
Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.14 or Section 11.10 in
respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the
Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of the Letter
of Credit Exposure (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting
Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral
was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may
otherwise be provided for herein.

(c)    Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion
thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no
longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14
following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by
the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or
(ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that
there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that (A) subject to Section 11.10
hereof, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender may agree
that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting
Exposure or other obligations, and (B) the extent that such Cash Collateral was
provided by the US Borrower (or the Canadian Borrower with respect to any
Canadian Letter of Credit Exposure), such Cash Collateral shall remain subject
to any security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Section 2.15. Liability of Borrowers.

(a)    Liability. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Borrower to
request Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder. The US Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entering into this
Agreement at the request of the US Borrower and with the understanding that the
US Borrower is and shall remain fully liable, jointly and severally, for payment
in full of the Secured Obligations (including the Secured Obligations of the
Canadian Borrower through Article X hereof), and any other amount payable under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The US Borrower agrees that it is
receiving or will receive a direct pecuniary benefit for each Loan made or
Letter of Credit issued hereunder (including Loans and Letters of Credit made to
the Canadian Borrower).

(b)    Appointment of Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints the Administrative Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact
for all Borrowers, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect
unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written
notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that
another Borrower has been appointed the Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower to
(i) provide the Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Loans and
Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices
and instructions under this Agreement, (ii) take such action as the
Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and
Letters of Credit, and (iii) exercise such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)    Waivers of Each Borrower. In the event that any obligation of the US
Borrower under this Agreement is deemed to be an agreement by the US Borrower to
answer for the debt or default of another Credit Party or as an hypothecation of
property as security therefor, the US Borrower represents and warrants that
(i) no representation has been made to the US Borrower as to the
creditworthiness of such other Credit Party, and (ii) the US Borrower has
established adequate means of obtaining from such other Credit Party on a
continuing basis, financial or other information pertaining to such other Credit
Party’s financial condition. Each Borrower expressly waives, except as expressly
required under this Agreement, diligence, demand, presentment, protest and
notice of every kind and nature whatsoever, consents to the taking by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any additional security of another
Credit Party for the obligations secured hereby, or the alteration or release in
any manner of any security of another Credit Party now or hereafter held in
connection with the Obligations, and consents that the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and any other Credit Party may deal with each other in connection with
such obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts now or hereafter existing
between them, in any manner whatsoever, including without limitation the
renewal, extension, acceleration or changes in time for payment of any such
obligations or in the terms or conditions of any security held. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders are hereby expressly given the right, at
their option, to proceed in the enforcement of any of the Obligations
independently of any other remedy or security they may at any time hold in
connection with such obligations secured and it shall not be necessary for the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed upon or against or exhaust any
other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce their rights against any
Borrower. Each Borrower further waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification, setoff or other recourse in respect
of sums paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by any other Credit
Party until such time as the Commitment has been terminated and the Secured
Obligations have been repaid in full.

(d)    Liability of Canadian Borrower. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Canadian Borrower shall not at any time be liable for the
Indebtedness of the US Borrower under this Agreement (exclusive of Foreign
Obligations that are guaranteed by the US Borrower under this Agreement).

(e)    Swap Obligations Keepwell Provision. The US Borrower hereby jointly and
severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, undertakes to provide
such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other
Credit Party in order for such Credit Party to honor its obligations under the
Loan Documents in respect of the Swap Obligations. The Canadian Borrower, to the
extent that it is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity
Exchange Act, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably, undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed
from time to time by each Foreign Guarantor of Payment in order for such Foreign
Guarantor of Payment to honor its obligations under the Loan Documents in
respect of the Swap Obligations. The obligations of each such Borrower under
this Section 2.15(e) shall remain in full force and effect until all Secured
Obligations are paid in full. The Borrowers intend that this Section 2.15(e)
constitute, and this Section 2.15(e) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell,
support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all
purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE III. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO

EURODOLLAR LOANS AND DAILY LIBOR LOANS; INCREASED CAPITAL; TAXES

Section 3.1. Requirements of Law.

(a)    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 Eurodollar Rate or
Daily LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Lender;

(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,
(B)  Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on any Loan, Letter of
Credit, or commitment or other obligation hereunder, or its deposits, reserves,
other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)    impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank
market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this
Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation
therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
making, converting into, continuing or maintaining such Loans or issuing or
participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder
in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the US Borrower (and the Canadian
Borrower with respect to applicable Foreign Obligations) shall pay to such
Lender, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, any additional
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced
amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional
amounts pursuant to this subsection (a), such Lender shall promptly notify the
Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event
with reasonable detail by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b)    If any Lender shall have determined that, after the Closing Date, a
Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or liquidity
requirements, or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental
Authority or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority shall
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such
corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, or under or
in respect of any Letter of Credit, to a level below that which such Lender or
such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration the policies of such Lender or such corporation with respect to
capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, upon submission by such
Lender to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
of a written request therefor (which shall include the method for calculating
such amount and reasonable detail with respect to such calculation), the US

74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Borrower (and the Canadian Borrower with respect to applicable Foreign
Obligations) shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation
for such reduction.

(c)    A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 3.1 submitted by any Lender to the Administrative Borrower, together
with a reasonably detailed calculation and description of such amounts
contemplated by this Section 3.1 (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall
be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the amounts so payable. In determining any
such additional amounts, such Lender may use any method of averaging and
attribution that it (in its reasonable credit judgment) shall deem applicable.
The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

Section 3.2. Taxes.

(a)    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of
Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit
Party under any Loan Document shall be made without set off, counterclaim,
deduction or withholding for, and free and clear of any present or future,
Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as
determined in the reasonable discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent)
require the deduction or withholding of any Tax (including, without limitation,
both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes) from any
such payment by the applicable Withholding Agent then (i) the applicable
Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions in amounts as
determined by the applicable Withholding Agent in its reasonable discretion
based in part upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to
subsection (e) below, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the
full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Laws, and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or
deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable to the
applicable Recipient by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as
necessary so that, after any required withholding or the making of all required
deductions (including, without limitation, any such withholdings and deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.2), the applicable
Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been made.

(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. Without limiting the
provisions of subsection (a) above, the Credit Parties shall timely pay to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or, at the
option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent
for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)    Tax Indemnifications.

(i)    Each of the Credit Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally
indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten
(10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on, attributable to or payable
under this Section 3.2) payable or

75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

paid by the Administrative Agent or such Recipient, or required to be withheld
or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Recipient, and
any penalties, interest and 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 Administrative Borrower
by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or
by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the
Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii)    Each Lender and the Issuing Lender shall, and does hereby, severally
indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after
demand therefor, (A) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Lender or the Issuing Lender (but only to the extent that
any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
Indemnified Taxes and, without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to
do so), (B) the Administrative Agent against any Taxes attributable to such
Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.9(d) hereof
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (C) the
Administrative Agent against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or
the Issuing Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any
Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Each Lender and the Issuing Lender hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to
set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the
Issuing lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subpart
(ii).

(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes
by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, as provided in this Section
3.2, the Borrowers 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 any return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)    Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time
or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower 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 reasonably requested by the
Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the

76

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the
Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not
such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two
sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other
than such documentation set forth in Section 3.2(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)
below) shall not be required if, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such
completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense, or would materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any
Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Administrative
Borrower 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 written request of the Administrative Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such
Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)    any Foreign Lender in respect of such applicable Borrower shall, to the
extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative Borrower
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
reasonable request of the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (y) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or
W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty,
and (z) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document,
IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or
“other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (y) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)

77

of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”), and (z) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as
applicable); or

(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or
W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS 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, substantially in the form
of Exhibit H-4 hereto on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Administrative Borrower 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 reasonable request of the Administrative
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies (or originals, as
required) of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming
exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable Law to permit the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the
time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation
prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section
1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be
necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such
Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subpart (D), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

78

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii)    Each Lender agrees that if, any form or certification it previously
delivered pursuant to this Section 3.2 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate
in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify
the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal
inability to do so.

(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no
time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, or have any obligation to
pay to any Lender or the Issuing Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or
deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Lender,
as the case may be. If any Recipient receives a refund of any Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit
Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.2, it shall pay to
such Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under
this Section 3.2 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund); net of
all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, 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 each Credit
Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over
to such Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable
Recipient be required to pay any amount to such Credit Party pursuant to this
Section 3.2(f) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less
favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the
Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been
deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or
additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section
3.2(f) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax
returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

(g)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.2 shall survive
the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the
termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of
all other Obligations.

Section 3.3. Funding Losses. The US Borrower (and the Canadian Borrower, to the
extent relating to applicable Foreign Obligations) agree to indemnify each
Lender, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, and to hold each
Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur
as a consequence of (a) default by a Borrower in making a borrowing of,
conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has
given a notice (including a written or verbal notice that is subsequently
revoked) requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (b) default by a Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion
from Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has given a notice (including a
written or verbal notice that is subsequently revoked) thereof in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of a
Eurodollar Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto, (d) any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan
or a Daily LIBOR Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto,

79

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or (e) any compulsory assignment of such Lender’s interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.6, 11.3(c) or 11.10(d)
hereof. Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of (i) the amount of interest (with no additional premium or penalty thereon)
that would have accrued on the amounts so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted
or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure
to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in
the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that
would have commenced on the date of such failure) or in each case at the
applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding,
however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of
interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to
such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable
period with leading banks in the appropriate London interbank market, along with
any administration fee charged by such Lender. A certificate as to any amounts
payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 submitted to the Administrative Borrower
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) by any Lender, together with a
reasonably detailed calculation and description of such amounts (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) by any Lender shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence
of the amount so payable. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this
Section 3.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.4. Eurodollar Rate or Daily LIBOR Rate Lending Unlawful; Inability to
Determine Rate.

(a)    If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice
thereof to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be
conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that, after the Closing Date, (i) the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law makes it
unlawful, or (ii) any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for
such Lender to make or continue any Loan as, or to convert (if permitted
pursuant to this Agreement) any Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan or a Daily LIBOR
Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or convert into any such
Eurodollar Loan or Daily LIBOR Loan shall, upon such determination, be suspended
until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding Eurodollar Loans
and Daily LIBOR Loans payable to such Lender shall automatically convert (if
conversion is permitted under this Agreement) into a Base Rate Loan, or be
repaid (if no conversion is permitted) at the end of the then current Interest
Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by Law or such assertion.

(b)    If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for
any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Eurodollar Rate or the Daily LIBOR Rate with respect to a proposed Daily LIBOR
Loan, for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar
Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate or Daily LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest
Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan or the Daily LIBOR Rate with
respect to a proposed Daily LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will
promptly so notify the Administrative Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loan or Daily
LIBOR Loan shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the
instruction

80

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of such Eurodollar Loan or Daily LIBOR Loan or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a
borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein

Section 3.5. Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to
fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of such Lender’s Loans in any
manner such Lender deems to be appropriate; it being understood, however, that
for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as
if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan during
the applicable Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits
having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest
rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

Section 3.6. Replacement of Lenders. The Administrative Borrower shall be
permitted to replace any Lender (or Participant) that requests reimbursement for
amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2(a) hereof, or asserts its inability
to make a Eurodollar Loan or Daily LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof;
provided that (a) such replacement does not conflict with any Law, (b) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
such replacement, (c) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at
par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender (or Participant)
on or prior to the date of replacement and assume all commitments and
obligations of such replaced Lender (or Participant), (d) the appropriate
Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender (or Participant) under Section
3.3 hereof if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender (or Participant)
shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating
thereto, (e) the replacement Lender, if not already a Lender, shall be
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a replacement
Participant, satisfactory to the applicable participating Lender), (f) the
replaced Lender (or Participant) shall be obligated to make such replacement in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.9 hereof (provided that the
appropriate Borrower (or the succeeding Lender, if such Lender is willing) shall
be obligated to pay the assignment fee referred to therein), and (g) until such
time as such replacement shall be consummated, the appropriate Borrower shall
pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2(a)
hereof, as the case may be; provided that a Lender (or Participant) shall not be
required to make any such assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver
by such Lender (or Participant) or otherwise, the circumstances entitling any
Borrower to replace such Lender (or Participant) cease to apply.

Agent is hereby authorized to file new financing statements or the equivalent as
applicable describing the Collateral and otherwise in form and substance
sufficient for recordation wherever necessary or appropriate, as determined in
the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to perfect or continue perfected the
security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders,
in the Collateral. The US Borrower shall pay all filing and recording fees and
taxes in connection with the filing or recordation of such financing statements
and security interests and shall promptly reimburse the Administrative Agent
therefor if the Administrative Agent pays the same. Such amounts not so paid or
reimbursed shall be Related Expenses hereunder.

Section 5.21. Subsidiary Guaranties, Security Documents and Pledge of Stock or
Other Ownership Interest.

(a)    Domestic Guaranties and Security Documents. Each Domestic Subsidiary

Closing Date, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, a Guaranty of Payment (or a Guaranty of Payment
Joinder) of all of the Secured Obligations and a Security Agreement (or a
Security Agreement Joinder) and Mortgages, as appropriate, such agreements to be
prepared by the Administrative Agent and in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, along with any such other supporting
documentation, Security Documents, corporate governance and authorization
documents, and an opinion of counsel as may be deemed necessary or advisable by
the Administrative Agent. With respect to a Subsidiary that has been classified
as a Dormant Subsidiary, at such time that such Subsidiary no longer meets the
requirements of a Dormant Subsidiary, the Administrative Borrower shall provide
to the Administrative Agent prompt written notice thereof, and shall provide,
with respect to such Subsidiary, all of the documents referenced in the
foregoing sentence.

102

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Foreign Subsidiary Guaranties and Security Documents. To the extent there
shall be no material adverse tax consequences, each Foreign Subsidiary (that is
not a Dormant Subsidiary) shall, if requested in the reasonable discretion of
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a Guaranty of Payment of
the Foreign Obligations and a Security Agreement, such agreements to be prepared
by the Administrative Agent and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent. In connection with each of the foregoing Guaranties of
Payment and Security Agreement, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent such other supporting documentation, Security Documents,
corporate governance and authorization documents, and an opinion of counsel as
may be reasonably deemed necessary or advisable by the Administrative Agent.
Anything in this subsection (b) to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
execution and delivery of such Guaranty of Payment or Security Agreement under
the laws of such foreign jurisdiction is impractical or cost prohibitive, in the
reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, after consultation with the
Administrative Borrower, then the Administrative Agent may forego such Guaranty
of Payment or Security Agreement, as applicable, in such foreign jurisdiction.

(c)    Pledge of Stock or Other Ownership Interest. With respect to the creation
or acquisition of a first-tier Subsidiary by any Credit Party, the
Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent within three
Business Days of the creation or acquisition thereof, and, if requested in the
reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders,
promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders,
all of the share certificates (or other evidence of equity) of such first-tier
Subsidiary owned by a Credit Party pursuant to the terms of a Pledge Agreement
prepared by the Administrative Agent and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and executed by the appropriate Credit
Party; provided that, any such pledge securing the Secured Obligations of the US
Borrower and any Domestic subsidiary shall not include the Restricted Pledged
Securities set forth in part (a) of the definition of “Restricted Pledged
Securities”, unless, as a result of a Change in Law, such Credit Party is able,
without reasonable risk of any Company incurring a material Tax liability as a
result thereof, to pledge such Restricted Pledged Securities as security for the
Secured Obligations of the US Borrower and the Domestic Subsidiaries, in which
case such Restricted Pledged Securities shall be automatically deemed to be so
pledged by such Credit Party but only to the extent that, and only for so long
as, such pledge could reasonably be expected not to result in a material Tax
liability of any Company. Anything in this subsection (c) to the contrary
notwithstanding, if the execution and delivery of any such pledge of stock under
the laws of such foreign jurisdiction is impractical or cost prohibitive, in the
reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, after consultation with the
Administrative Borrower, then the Administrative Agent may forego such pledge of
stock (or foreign perfection of such pledge of stock in such foreign
jurisdiction).

(d)    Perfection or Registration of Interest in Foreign Shares. With respect to
any foreign shares pledged to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Lenders, on or after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall at all
times, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders, have the right to perfect, at the US Borrower’s cost, payable upon
request therefor (including, without limitation, any foreign counsel, or foreign
notary, filing, registration or similar, fees, costs or expenses), its security
interest in such shares in the respective foreign jurisdiction. Such perfection
may include the requirement that the applicable Company

103

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a separate pledge
document (prepared by the Administrative Agent and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), covering such equity
interests, that conforms to the requirements of the applicable foreign
jurisdiction, together with an opinion of local counsel as to the perfection of
the security interest provided for therein, and all other documentation
necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing and to permit the Administrative
Agent to exercise any of its rights and remedies in respect thereof.

Section 5.22. Flood Hazard. If any portion of any Domestic Real Property is at
any time located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (or any successor agency) as a special flood hazard area with respect to
which flood insurance has been made available under the Flood Insurance Laws,
then the Administrative Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Credit
Parties to (a) maintain, or cause to be maintained, with a financially sound and
reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount and otherwise sufficient to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the
Flood Insurance Laws, which such insurance shall (i) identify the addresses of
each property located in a special flood hazard area, (ii) indicate the
applicable flood zone designation, the flood insurance coverage and deductible
relating thereto, (iii) provide that the insurer will give the Administrative
Agent at least forty-five (45) days’ written notice of cancellation or
non-renewal, and (iv) shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (b) deliver to the Administrative
Agent evidence of such compliance, in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, evidence of annual
renewals of such insurance.

Section 5.23. Restrictive Agreements. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the

directly or indirectly, any dividend or other capital distribution to any
Borrower, (b) make, directly or indirectly, loans or advances or capital
contributions to any Borrower or (c) transfer, directly or indirectly, any of
the properties or assets of such Subsidiary to any Borrower; except for such
encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (i) applicable Law,
(ii) customary non-assignment provisions in leases or other agreements entered
in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices, or
(iii) customary restrictions in security agreements or mortgages securing
Indebtedness or Capitalized Lease Obligations, of a Company to the extent such
restrictions shall only restrict the transfer of the property subject to such
security agreement, mortgage or lease.

Section 5.24. Other Covenants and Provisions. In the event that any Company
shall enter into, or shall have entered into, any Material Indebtedness
Agreement, wherein the covenants and agreements contained therein shall be more
restrictive than the covenants and agreements set forth herein, then the
Companies shall be bound hereunder by such more restrictive covenants and
agreements with the same force and effect as if such covenants and agreements
were written herein.

Section 5.25. Guaranty Under Material Indebtedness Agreement. No Foreign
Subsidiary shall be or become a primary obligor or Guarantor of the Indebtedness
of the US Borrower incurred pursuant to any Material Indebtedness Agreement
unless such Foreign Subsidiary shall also be a Guarantor of Payment under this
Agreement prior to or concurrently therewith.

104

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the Required Lenders. As of the Closing Date, the fiscal year end of each
Borrower is December 31 of each year.

Section 5.28. Negative Pledge of the US Borrower’s Stock. The Borrowers shall
not suffer or permit any Lien to exist upon the capital stock or other equity
interest issued by the US Borrower (except for (i) Liens in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and (ii) Liens arising by
operation of Law for taxes, assessments or governmental charges not yet due or
which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently
conducted).

Section 5.29. Banking Relationship. Until payment in full of the Obligations,
the US Borrower shall maintain its primary banking and depository relationship

Borrower shall (a) amend, supplement or otherwise modify (pursuant to a waiver
or otherwise) the terms and conditions of the indemnities and licenses furnished
to the Companies pursuant to any Horizon Plastics Acquisition Documents in a
manner that that is adverse in any material respect to the rights or interests
of the Companies or the Lenders with respect such indemnities or licenses or
(b) otherwise amend, supplement or otherwise modify the terms and conditions of
any Horizon Plastics Acquisition Documents except for any such amendment,
supplement or modification that both (i) becomes effective after the Closing
Date and (ii) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

Section 5.31. Compliance with Laws. The Borrowers shall, and shall cause each
Subsidiary to, comply in all material respects with all Laws, rules,
regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which
it may be subject including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws,
Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, except in such instances in which
(a) such Requirement of Law or rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree or award is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings diligently conducted or (b) solely in the cases where the Companies’
compliance with any such Law is specifically qualified by Material Adverse
Effect herein, the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the
aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (in
which cases the materiality qualifier contained in the first clause of this
sentence shall not apply). The Borrowers shall maintain in effect and enforce
such policies and procedures as it has determined to be reasonably necessary to
ensure compliance by the Borrowers, the Subsidiaries and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and
applicable Sanctions.

Section 5.32    Credit Party as Trustee. If any agreement, document or other
right, title and interest which is required to be mortgaged, charged or assigned
is not assignable to the Administrative Agent because (a) the remedies for the
enforcement of such agreement would not,

105

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as a matter of law, pass to the Administrative Agent as an incidence of the
transfers and assignments made pursuant to the relevant Security Document,
(b) the same is not assignable without the consent of the other party or parties
thereto or any Governmental Authority and such consent has not been obtained as
of the date hereof, (c) the same is not assignable without complying with stated
conditions or (d) the same is the subject of an express prohibition against
assignment, the applicable Credit Party’s interest in such agreement shall,
until such consent to such assignment, compliance with such conditions or waiver
of such express prohibition is obtained, be held in trust for the Administrative
Agent by such Credit Party and the said interest and all benefits derived under
such agreement shall be for the account of the Administrative Agent, subject to
the terms of such Security Document.  Each Credit Party shall use all reasonable
commercial efforts to obtain, as applicable, the required consent to any such
assignment of such Credit Party’s interest in any such agreement, compliance
with any such conditions or waiver of any such express prohibition.

Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may, at the expense of the
Borrowers, receive a translation of one or more of the Loan Documents (as
reasonably necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent) into

standing (or comparable concept in the applicable jurisdiction) as a foreign
entity in the jurisdictions set forth opposite its name on Schedule 6.1 hereto,
which are all of the states or jurisdictions where the character of its property
or its business activities makes such qualification necessary, except where a
failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Schedule 6.1 hereto sets forth, as of the Closing Date, each
Subsidiary of a Borrower (and whether such Subsidiary is a Dormant Subsidiary),
whether each Credit Party is a Specified Credit Party, and each Person that is
an owner of a Borrower’s equity, its state (or jurisdiction) of formation, its

106

relationship to a Borrower, including the percentage of each class of stock or
other equity interest owned by a Company, each Person that owns the stock or
other equity interest of each Company, its tax identification number, the

Foreign Subsidiaries, other nominal amounts of shares held by a Person other
than a Company).

Section 6.2. Corporate Authority. Each Credit Party has the right and power and

have been duly authorized and approved by such Credit Party’s board of directors
or other governing body, as applicable, and are the legal, valid and binding
obligations of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in
accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability thereof may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or, moratorium and similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law). The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents do not conflict with,
result in a breach in any of the provisions of, constitute a default under, or
result in the creation of a Lien (other than Liens permitted under Section 5.9
hereof) upon any assets or property of any Company under the provisions of, such
Company’s Organizational Documents or any material agreement to which such
Company is a party.

Section 6.3. Compliance with Laws and Contracts. Each Company:

(a)    holds all permits, certificates, licenses, orders, registrations,
franchises, authorizations, and other approvals from any Governmental Authority
necessary for the conduct of its business and is in compliance with all
applicable Laws relating thereto, except where the failure to do so would not
have a Material Adverse Effect;

(b)    is in compliance with all federal, state, local, or foreign applicable
statutes, rules, regulations, and orders including, without limitation, those
relating to environmental protection, occupational safety and health, and equal
employment practices, except where the failure to be in compliance would not
have a Material Adverse Effect;

(c)    is not in violation of or in default under any agreement to which it is a
party or by which its assets are subject or bound, except with respect to any
violation or default that would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

(d)    has ensured that no Company, or to the knowledge of any Company, any
director officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of a Company, is a Person that
is, or is owned or controlled by Persons that are (i) the subject of any

is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions;

director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of a Company
has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation
by such Persons of Anti-Corruption Laws, and the Credit Parties have instituted
and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure continued compliance
therewith;

(g)    is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act; and

(h)    is in compliance, in all material respects, with Anti-Corruption Laws.

examinations or other proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Companies,
threatened against any Company, or in respect of which any Company may have any
liability, in any court or before or by any Governmental Authority, arbitration
board, or other tribunal that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, (b) no orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, or decrees of any
court or Governmental Authority to which any Company is a party or by which the
property or assets of any Company are bound that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) no grievances, disputes, or
controversies outstanding with any union or other organization of the employees
of any Company, or threats of work stoppage, strike, or pending demands for
collective bargaining that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

Section 6.5. Title to Assets. Each Company has good title to and ownership of
all property it purports to own, which property is free and clear of all Liens,
except those permitted under Section 5.9 hereof. As of the Closing Date, the
Companies own the real property listed on Schedule 6.5 hereto.

Section 6.6. Liens and Security Interests. On and after the Closing Date, except
for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof, (a) there is and will be no
financing statement or similar notice of Lien (other than notice filings filed
under U.C.C. 9-505 not covering collateral securing an obligation) outstanding
covering any personal property of any Company; (b) there is and will be no
mortgage or charge outstanding covering any Domestic Real Property or other
owned real property of any Company; and (c) no real or personal property of any
Company is subject to any Lien of any kind. The Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, upon the filing of the financing statements contemplated
by the Loan Documents and taking such other actions necessary to perfect its
Lien against collateral of the corresponding type as authorized hereunder will
have a valid and enforceable first Lien on such Collateral. No Company has
entered into any contract or agreement (other than (i) a contract or agreement
entered into in connection with the purchase or lease of fixed assets that
prohibits Liens on such fixed assets or a contract or agreement entered into in
the ordinary course of business that does not permit Liens on, or collateral
assignment of, the property relating to such contract or agreement or (ii) any
agreement with a restriction that is

108

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

not enforceable under Section 9‑406, 9‑407 or 9‑408 of the U.C.C.) that exists
on or after the Closing Date that would prohibit the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders from acquiring a Lien on, or a collateral assignment of, any of the
property or assets of any Company.

Section 6.7. Tax Returns. All federal, state, provincial and local tax returns
and other reports required by law to be filed in respect of the income,
business, properties and employees of each Company have been timely filed (or
extended as permitted by applicable Law) and all taxes, assessments, fees and
other governmental charges that are due and payable have been timely paid,
except as otherwise permitted herein. The provision for taxes on the books of
each Company is adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes and for
the current fiscal year.

Section 6.8. Environmental Laws. Except as could not, either individually or in
the aggregate, be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each
Company is in substantial compliance with all Environmental Laws, including,
without limitation, all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in which any
Company owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a facility or site, arranges
or has arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste
or other wastes, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous substances,
solid waste or other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property
or otherwise. No material litigation or proceeding arising under, relating to or
in connection with any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit is pending or,
to the best knowledge of each Company, threatened, against any Company, any
Domestic Real Property or other owned real property in which any Company holds
or has held an interest or any past or present operation of any Company which
could reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect. No release,
threatened release or disposal of hazardous waste, solid waste or other wastes
is occurring, or has occurred (other than those that are currently being
remediated in accordance with Environmental Laws), on, under or to any Domestic
Real Property or other owned real property in which any Company holds any
interest or performs any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental
Law, that either individually or in the aggregate, could be reasonably expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Section 6.8, “litigation
or proceeding” means any demand, claim, notice, suit, suit in equity, action,
administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by any
Governmental Authority or private Person, or otherwise.

Section 6.9. Locations. As of the Closing Date, the Companies have places of
business or maintain their Accounts, Inventory and Equipment at the locations
(including third party locations) set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereto, and each
Company’s chief executive office is set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereto. Schedule
6.9 hereto further specifies whether each location, as of the Closing Date,
(a) is owned by the Companies, or (b) is leased by a Company from a third party,
and, if leased by a Company from a third party, if a Landlord’s Waiver has been
requested. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 6.9 hereto correctly identifies the
name and address of each third party location where assets of the Companies are
located.

Section 6.10. Continued Business. There exists no actual, pending, or, to each
Borrower’s knowledge, any threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of,
or any modification or change in the business relationship of any Company and
any customer or supplier, which any Credit Party reasonably expects to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

109

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 6.11. Employee Benefits Plans.

(a)    US Employee Benefit Plans. Schedule 6.11 hereto identifies each ERISA
Plan as of the Closing Date. No ERISA Event has occurred or is expected to occur
with respect to an ERISA Plan. Full payment has been made of all amounts that a
Controlled Group member is required, under applicable Law or under the governing
documents, to have paid as a contribution to or a benefit under each ERISA Plan.
The liability of each Controlled Group member with respect to each ERISA Plan
has been fully funded based upon reasonable and proper actuarial assumptions,
has been fully insured, or has been fully reserved for on its financial
statements. No changes have occurred or are expected to occur that would cause a
material increase in the cost of providing benefits under the ERISA Plan. With
respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section
401(a), in all material respects or are subject to cure under a correction
program approved by a Governmental Authority; (i) the ERISA Plan and any
associated trust operationally comply with the applicable requirements of Code
Section 401(a); (ii) to the extent applicable, the ERISA Plan and any associated
trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in
effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be
made within the “remedial amendment period” available under Code Section 401(b)
(as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon
which taxpayers may rely); (iii) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have
received a favorable determination letter from the IRS stating that the ERISA
Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies
under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred
arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the
ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described “remedial
amendment period” has not yet expired; (iv) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies
the requirements of Code Section 410(b), without regard to any retroactive
amendment that may be made within the above-described “remedial amendment
period”; and (v) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise
tax under Code Section 4972. With respect to any Pension Plan, the “accumulated
benefit obligation” of Controlled Group members with respect to the Pension Plan
(as determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87,
“Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”) does not exceed the fair market value of
Pension Plan assets.

(b)    Foreign Pension Plan and Benefit Plans. As of the Closing Date, Schedule
6.11 hereto lists all Foreign Benefit Plans, Canadian Pension Plans, Canadian
MEPPs and Foreign Pension Plans currently maintained or contributed to by the US
Borrower and any appropriate Foreign Subsidiaries. The Foreign Pension Plans and
Canadian Pension Plans are duly registered under all applicable Laws which
require registration. The US Borrower and any appropriate Foreign Subsidiaries
have complied with and performed all of its obligations under and in respect of
the Foreign Pension Plans, Canadian Pension Plans, Canadian MEPPs and Foreign
Benefit Plans under the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable
Laws (including any fiduciary, funding, investment and administration
obligations) except to the extent as would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. All employer and employee payments, contributions or
premiums to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Canadian Pension Plan,
Canadian MEPP, Foreign Pension Plan or Foreign Benefit Plan have been paid in a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreement and
all applicable Laws except to the extent the failure to do so would not

110

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
outstanding actions or suits concerning the assets of the Foreign Pension Plans
or the Foreign Benefit Plans. Each of the Foreign Pension Plans is fully funded
on an ongoing basis as required by all Laws applicable to such Foreign Pension
Plans (using actuarial methods and assumptions as of the date of the valuations
last filed with the applicable Governmental Authorities and that are consistent
with generally accepted actuarial principles).

Section 6.12. Consents or Approvals. No consent, approval or authorization of,
or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person is required to be obtained or completed by any Company in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Loan
Documents, that has not already been obtained or completed.

Section 6.13. Solvency.

(a)    US Borrower. The US Borrower has received consideration that is the
reasonably equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the US
Borrower has incurred to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The US
Borrower is not insolvent as defined in any applicable state, federal or
relevant foreign statute, nor will the US Borrower be rendered insolvent by the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders. The US Borrower is not engaged or about to engage in any business or
transaction for which the assets retained by it are or will be an unreasonably
small amount of capital, taking into consideration the obligations to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders incurred hereunder. The US Borrower does
not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature.

(b)    Canadian Borrower. The Canadian Borrower has received consideration that
is the reasonably equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the
Canadian Borrower has incurred to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The
property of the Canadian Borrower is (i) sufficient, if disposed of at a fairly
conducted sale under legal process, to enable payment of all its obligations due
and accruing due, and (ii) at a fair valuation, greater than the total amount of
liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Canadian Borrower. The
Canadian Borrower has not ceased paying its current obligations in the ordinary
course of business as they generally become due. The Canadian Borrower is not
for any reason (and will not by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents) be unable to meet its obligations as they generally become due.

(c)    Generally. Each Credit Party acknowledges that its business and financial
relationship with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is unique from such
Credit Party’s relationship with any other of its creditors and agrees that it
shall not file any plan of arrangement under the Companies’ Creditors
Arrangement Act (Canada) or make any proposal under the Bankruptcy and
Insolvency Act (Canada) which provides for, or would permit directly or
indirectly, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be classified with any
other creditor for purposes of such plan or proposal or otherwise.

Section 6.14. Financial Statements. The audited Consolidated financial
statements of the US Borrower, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and
the unaudited Consolidated financial statements of the US Borrower for the
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017, furnished to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, are true and complete, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP,
and fairly present the financial condition of the Companies as of the dates of
such financial statements and the results of their operations for the periods
then ending. Since the ending dates of the periods addressed in such statements,
there has been no material adverse change in any

111

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company’s financial condition, properties or business or any change in any
Company’s accounting procedures.

Section 6.15. Regulations. No Company is engaged principally or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States).
Neither the granting of any Loan (or any conversion thereof) or Letter of Credit
nor the use of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will violate, or be
inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X or any other
Regulation of such Board of Governors.

Section 6.16. Material Agreements. Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.16 hereto,
as of the Closing Date, no Company is a party to any (a) debt instrument
(excluding the Loan Documents); (b) lease (capital, operating or otherwise),
whether as lessee or lessor thereunder; (c) contract, commitment, agreement, or
other arrangement involving the purchase or sale of any inventory by it, or the
license of any right to or by it; (d) contract, commitment, agreement, or other
arrangement with any of its Affiliates other than a Company; (e) management or
employment contract or contract for personal services with any of its Affiliates
that is not otherwise terminable at will or on less than ninety (90) days’
notice without liability; (f) collective bargaining agreement; or (g) other
contract, agreement, understanding, or arrangement with a third party; that, as
to subparts (a) through (g), above, if violated, breached, or terminated for any
reason, would have or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

Section 6.17. Intellectual Property. Each Company owns, or has the right to use,
all of the patents, patent applications, industrial designs, designs,
trademarks, service marks, copyrights and licenses, and rights with respect to
the foregoing, reasonably necessary for the conduct of its business without any
known conflict with the rights of others. Schedule 6.17 hereto sets forth all
federally registered patents, trademarks, copyrights, service marks and license
agreements owned by each Company as of the Closing Date.

Section 6.18. Insurance. Each Company maintains with financially sound and
reputable insurers insurance with coverage (including, if applicable, flood
insurance on all mortgaged property that is in a Special Flood Hazard Zone, from
such providers, on such terms and in such amounts as required by the Flood
Disaster Protection Act as amended from time to time or as otherwise required by
the Administrative Agent) and limits as required by law and as is customary with
Persons engaged in the same businesses as the Companies. Schedule 6.18 hereto
sets forth all insurance carried by the Companies on the Closing Date, setting
forth in detail the amount and type of such insurance.

Section 6.19. Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. Schedule 6.19 hereto
lists all banks, other financial institutions and Securities Intermediaries at
which any Company maintains Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts as of the
Closing Date, and Schedule 6.19 hereto correctly identifies the name, address
and telephone number of each such financial institution or Securities
Intermediary, the name in which the account is held, a description of the
purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor.

112

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 6.20. Accurate and Complete Statements. Neither the Loan Documents nor
any written statement made by any Company in connection with any of the Loan
Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or in the Loan
Documents not misleading. After due inquiry by the Borrowers, there is no known
fact that any Company has not disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders that has or is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.21. Investment Company; Other Restrictions. No Company is (a) an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b) subject to
regulation under any foreign, federal, state or local statute or regulation
limiting its ability to incur Indebtedness.

Section 6.22. Acquisition Agreement Representations. To the extent reasonably
necessary to preserve or protect the rights of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in respect of the Collateral, the Borrowers covenant and agree to
enforce and pursue all remedies reasonably available to it in connection with
any material breach of a representation and warranty made by Seller under the
Horizon Plastics Acquisition Agreement.

Section 6.23. Defaults. No Default or Event of Default exists, nor will any
begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof.

an “Event of Default”):

MEPP, or to incur an additional liability or obligation to such Foreign Pension
Plan, Canadian Pension Plan or Canadian MEPP, equal to or in excess of Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or the equivalent thereof in another

114

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(less any amount that will be covered by the proceeds of insurance and is not
subject to dispute by the insurance provider); or

(b)    any one or more non-monetary final judgments that are not covered by
insurance, or, if covered by insurance, for which the insurance company has not
agreed to or acknowledged coverage, and that, in either case, the Required

ARTICLE VIII. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Notwithstanding any contrary provision or inference herein or elsewhere:

Section 8.1. Optional Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in Section
7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 7.10 or 7.11 hereof shall occur,
the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and
shall, at the written request of the Required Lenders, give written notice to
the Borrowers to:

(a)    terminate the Commitment, if not previously terminated, and, immediately
upon such election, the obligations of the Lenders, and each thereof, to make
any further Loan, and the obligation of the Issuing Lender to issue any Letter
of Credit, immediately shall be terminated; and/or

(b)    accelerate the maturity of all of the Obligations (if the Obligations are
not already due and payable), whereupon all of the Obligations shall become and
thereafter be immediately due and payable in full without any presentment or
demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby waived by each Borrower.

116

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 8.2. Automatic Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in Section
7.12 hereof shall occur:

(a)    all of the Commitment shall automatically and immediately terminate, if
not previously terminated, and no Lender thereafter shall be under any
obligation to grant any further Loan, nor shall the Issuing Lender be obligated
to issue any Letter of Credit; and

(b)    the principal of and interest then outstanding on all of the Loans, and
all of the other Obligations, shall thereupon become and thereafter be
immediately due and payable in full (if the Obligations are not already due and
payable), all without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which are
hereby waived by each Borrower.

Section 8.3. Letters of Credit. If the maturity of the Obligations shall be
accelerated pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 hereof, each Borrower shall
immediately deposit with the Administrative Agent, as security for the
obligations of such Borrower with respect to Letters of Credit, cash equal to
one hundred three percent (103%) of the sum of the aggregate undrawn balance of
any such Letters of Credit that are then outstanding. The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders are hereby authorized, at their option, to deduct any and all
such amounts from any deposit balances then owing by any Lender (or any
Affiliate of such Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or account of
any Credit Party, as security for the obligations of such Credit Parties to
reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders for any then
outstanding Letters of Credit.

Section 8.4. Offsets. If there shall occur or exist any Event of Default
referred to in Section 7.12 hereof or if the maturity of the Obligations is
accelerated pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 hereof, each Lender shall have the
right at any time to set off against, and to appropriate and apply toward the
payment of, any and all of the Obligations then owing by any Borrower or
Guarantor of Payment to such Lender (including, without limitation, any
participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.2A(b), 2.2A(c),
2.2B(b), 2.2B(c) or 8.5 hereof), whether or not the same shall then have
matured, any and all deposit (general or special) balances and all other
indebtedness then held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation,
by branches and agencies or any affiliate of such Lender, wherever located) to
or for the credit or account of such Borrower or Guarantor of Payment, all
without notice to or demand upon any Borrower or any other Person, all such
notices and demands being hereby expressly waived by each Borrower. Each Lender
agrees to notify the Administrative Borrower 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).
In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff,
(a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative
Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.10
hereof 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 Issuing Lender, and the Lenders, and (b) 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, the
Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 8.4 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.

117

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 8.5. Equalization Provisions.

(a)    Equalization Within Commitments Prior to an Equalization Event. Each
Revolving Lender agrees with the other Revolving Lenders that, if it at any time
shall obtain any Advantage over the other Revolving Lenders, or any thereof, in
respect of the Applicable Debt (except as to Swing Loans and Letters of Credit
prior to the Administrative Agent’s giving of notice to participate and amounts
under Article III hereof), such Revolving Lender, upon written request of the
Administrative Agent, shall purchase from the other Revolving Lenders, for cash
and at par, such additional participation in the Applicable Debt as shall be
necessary to nullify the Advantage. Each US Term Lender agrees with the other US
Term Lenders that, if it at any time shall obtain any Advantage over the other
US Term Lenders, or any thereof, in respect of the Applicable Debt (except as to
amounts under Article III hereof), such US Term Lender shall purchase from the
other US Term Lenders, for cash and at par, such additional participation in the
Applicable Debt as shall be necessary to nullify the Advantage. Each Canadian
Term Lender agrees with the other Canadian Term Lenders that, if it at any time
shall obtain any Advantage over the other Canadian Term Lenders, or any thereof,
in respect of the Applicable Debt (except as to amounts under Article III
hereof), such Canadian Term Lender shall purchase from the other Canadian Term
Lenders, for cash and at par, such additional participation in the Applicable
Debt as shall be necessary to nullify the Advantage.

(b)    Equalization Between Commitments After an Equalization Event. After the
occurrence of an Equalization Event, each Lender agrees with the other Lenders
that, if such Lender at any time shall obtain any Advantage over the other
Lenders or any thereof determined in respect of the Obligations (including Swing
Loans and Letters of Credit but excluding amounts under Article III hereof) then
outstanding, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders, for cash and at
par, such additional participation in the Obligations as shall be necessary to
nullify the Advantage in respect of the Obligations. For purposes of determining
whether or not, after the occurrence of an Equalization Event, an Advantage in
respect of the Obligations shall exist, the Administrative Agent shall, as of
the date that the Equalization Event occurs:

(i)    add the Revolving Credit Exposure, the US Term Loan Exposure and the
Canadian Term Loan Exposure to determine the equalization maximum amount (the
“Equalization Maximum Amount”); and

(ii)    determine an equalization percentage (the “Equalization Percentage”) for
each Lender by dividing the aggregate amount of its Lender Credit Exposure by
the Equalization Maximum Amount.

After the date of an Equalization Event, the Administrative Agent shall
determine whether an Advantage exists among the Lenders by using the
Equalization Percentage. Such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

(c)    Recovery of Amount. If any such Advantage resulting in the purchase of an
additional participation as set forth in subsection (a) or (b) hereof shall be
recovered in whole or in part from

118

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Lender receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be rescinded, and
the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Lender receiving
the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person
recovering the Advantage from such Lender) ratably to the extent of the
recovery.

(d)    Application and Sharing of Set-Off Amounts. Each Lender further agrees
with the other Lenders that, if it at any time shall receive any payment for or
on behalf of a Borrower on any Secured Obligations owing by such Borrower to
that Lender (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by
reason of offset of any deposit or other Indebtedness, by counterclaim or cross
action, by enforcement of any right under any Loan Document, or otherwise), it
shall apply such payment first to any and all Indebtedness owing by such
Borrower to that Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without
limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to this
Section 8.5 or any other section of this Agreement). Each Credit Party agrees
that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders, or any
thereof, pursuant to this Section 8.5 may exercise all of its rights of payment
(including the right of set‑off) with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such
participation.

Section 8.6. Other Remedies. The remedies in this Article VIII are in addition
to, and not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy,
either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which the Lenders may be entitled.
The Administrative Agent shall exercise the rights under this Article VIII and
all other collection efforts on behalf of the Lenders and no Lender shall act
independently with respect thereto, except as otherwise specifically set forth
in this Agreement. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
exercise remedies, pursuant to the Loan Documents, against Collateral, on behalf
of any Affiliate of a Lender that holds Secured Obligations, and no Affiliate of

each such Lender, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates, hereby agrees
to promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent upon such Lender (or any

services agreement.

ARTICLE IX. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

The Lenders authorize KeyBank and KeyBank hereby agrees to act as agent for the
Lenders in respect of this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth
elsewhere in this Agreement, and upon the following terms and conditions:

Section 9.1. Appointment and Authorization.

(a)    General. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers hereunder as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and to
execute various Security Documents pertaining to the Canadian Borrower and
Foreign Guarantors of Payment on behalf of the Lenders. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, attorneys
or employees shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or be responsible in any manner
to any of the Lenders for the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness,
validity or due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, (ii) be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or
thereof on the part of the Borrowers or any other Company, or the financial
condition of the Borrowers or any

121

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

other Company, or (iii) be liable to any of the Companies for consequential
damages resulting from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong in connection
with the negotiation, documentation, administration or collection of the Loans
or Letters of Credit or any of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those
expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed
to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in
other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended
to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a
matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an
administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The
provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and no Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have
rights as a third‑party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b)    Bank Products and Hedging Products. Each Lender that is providing Bank
Products or products in connection with a Hedge Agreement (or whose Affiliate is
providing such products) hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent
to take such action as agent on its behalf (and its Affiliate’s behalf) with
respect to the Collateral and the realization of payments with respect thereto
pursuant to Section 8.7 hereof. Each Borrower and each Lender agree that the
indemnification and reimbursement provisions of this Agreement shall be equally
applicable to the actions of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
subsection (b). Each Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative
Agent that it has the authority to authorize the Administrative Agent as set
forth above.

Section 9.2. Note Holders. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any
Note as the holder thereof (or, if there is no Note, the holder of the interest
as reflected on the books and records of the Administrative Agent) until written
notice of transfer shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent, signed
by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such
transfer to have been made in accordance with Section 11.9 hereof).

Section 9.3. Consultation With Counsel. The Administrative Agent may consult
with legal counsel selected by the Administrative Agent and shall not be liable
for any action taken or suffered in good faith by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

Section 9.4. Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to
examine into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, genuineness or value of
any Loan Document or any other Related Writing furnished pursuant hereto or in
connection herewith or the value of any collateral obtained hereunder, and the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid,
effective and genuine and what they purport to be.

Section 9.5. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. KeyBank and its Affiliates may
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from,
acquire equity interests in

122

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory,
underwriting or other business with the Companies and Affiliates as though
KeyBank were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or
consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such
activities, KeyBank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any
Company or any Affiliate (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of such Company or such Company’s
Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no
obligation to provide such information to other Lenders. With respect to Loans
and Letters of Credit (if any), KeyBank and its Affiliates shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though KeyBank were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender”
and “Lenders” include KeyBank and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in
their individual capacities.

Section 9.6. Knowledge or Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not
be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a
Lender or the Administrative Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing
such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if
so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that, unless and until
the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall
deem advisable, in its discretion, for the protection of the interests of the
Lenders.

Section 9.7. Action by Administrative Agent. Subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, so long as the Administrative Agent shall be entitled,
pursuant to Section 9.6 hereof, to assume that no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from
exercising any rights that may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or
refraining from taking any action or actions that it may be able to take under
or in respect of, this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice,
certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by it to be genuine
or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to
anything that it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its
judgment, or that may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the premises.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action
whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative
Agent’s acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Lenders.

Section 9.8. Release of Collateral or Guarantor of Payment. In the event of a
merger, transfer of assets or other transaction permitted pursuant to Section
5.12 hereof (or otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement) where the
proceeds of such merger, transfer or other transaction are applied in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement to the extent required to be so applied, or in
the event of a merger, consolidation, dissolution or similar event, permitted
pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense
of the Borrowers, is hereby

123

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

authorized by the Lenders to (a) release the relevant Collateral from this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) release a Guarantor of Payment in
connection with such permitted transfer or event, and (c) duly assign, transfer
and deliver to the affected Person (without recourse and without any
representation or warranty) such Collateral as is then (or has been) so
transferred or released and as may be in the possession of the Administrative
Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 9.9. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of
its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents,
employees or attorneys‑in‑fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and
other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agent or attorney‑in‑fact that it selects in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 9.10. Indemnification of Administrative Agent. The Lenders agree to
indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrowers) ratably, according to their respective Overall Commitment
Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as agent in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any action taken or omitted
by the Administrative Agent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) or
disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction, or from any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent in any capacity other than as agent under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document. No action taken in accordance with the directions of
the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.10. The undertaking in this Section
9.10 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, if any,
expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, termination of the
Commitment, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any
or all of the Loan Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation
or replacement of the administrative agent.

Section 9.11. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may
resign as agent hereunder by giving not fewer than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders. If the
Administrative Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the
Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the
Lenders (with the consent of the Administrative Borrower so long as an Event of
Default does not exist and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or
(b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the
thirty (30) day period following the Administrative Agent’s notice to the
Lenders of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent shall appoint a
successor agent that shall serve as agent until such time as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor agent.

124

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by
the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s
notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and
perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time,
if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
Upon its appointment, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers
and duties as agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” means such successor
effective upon its appointment, and the former agent’s rights, powers and duties
as agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the
part of such former agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After any
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as the Administrative Agent, the
provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.12. Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the
Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing
Lender and the documents associated therewith. The Issuing Lender shall have all
of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to the Administrative Agent in this
Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing
Lender in connection with the Letters of Credit and the applications and
agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully
as if the term “Administrative Agent”, as used in this Article IX, included the
Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally
provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Lender.

Section 9.13. Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall act on behalf of
the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Swing Loans. The Swing Line Lender
shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to the Administrative
Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by
the Swing Line Lender in connection with the Swing Loans as fully as if the term
“Administrative Agent”, as used in this Article IX, included the Swing Line
Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally provided
in this Agreement with respect to the Swing Line Lender.

Section 9.14. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to any Credit Party, (a) the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable
as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to
(i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations that are
owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent) allowed in such judicial proceedings, and (ii) collect and
receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims
and to distribute the same; and (b) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized

125

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the
event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the
Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding.

Section 9.15. No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification
Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any
of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative
Agent to carry out such Lender’s or its Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s
customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under
or pursuant to the Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the
regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the
“CIP Regulations”), or any other anti‑terrorism Law, including any programs
involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the
Borrowers, their respective Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the
transactions hereunder: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record
keeping, (c) any comparisons with government lists, (d) any customer notices, or
(e) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

Section 9.16. Other Agents. The Administrative Agent shall have the continuing
right from time to time to designate one or more Lenders (or its or their
Affiliates) as “syndication agent”, “co-syndication agent”, “documentation
agent”, “co-documentation agent”, “book runner”, “lead arranger”, “joint lead
arranger”, “arrangers” or other designations for purposes hereof. Any such
designation referenced in the previous sentence or listed on the cover of this
Agreement shall have no substantive effect, and any such Lender and its
Affiliates so referenced or listed shall have no additional powers, duties,
responsibilities or liabilities as a result thereof, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the
Issuing Lender hereunder.

Section 9.17. Platform.

(a)    Each Credit Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not
be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the
Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the other Lenders by posting the
Communications on the Platform.

(b)    The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties
(as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly
disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of
any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any
warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement
of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by
any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no
event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties
(collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any

126

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

liability to the Borrowers or the other Credit Parties, any Lender or any other
Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct
or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses
(whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s, any
Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications
through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand,
communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf
of any Credit Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated therein that is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender by means of electronic
communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

ARTICLE X. GUARANTY BY US BORROWER OF OBLIGATIONS OF CANADIAN BORROWER

Section 10.1. The Guaranty. The US Borrower hereby guarantees to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as a primary obligor and
not as a surety, the prompt payment of the Secured Obligations owing by the
Canadian Borrower in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise)
strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The US Borrower hereby further
agrees that, if any of such Secured Obligations are not paid in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a
mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the US Borrower will promptly
pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that, in the case of
any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of such Secured Obligations,
the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity,
as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash
collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension
or renewal.

Section 10.2. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the US Borrower
under Section 10.1 hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the
value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of
the Canadian Borrower under any of the Loan Documents, or any other agreement or
instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or
exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this
Section 10.2 that the obligations of the US Borrower hereunder, as a Guarantor,
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. The US
Borrower agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity,
reimbursement or contribution against any other Borrower or any other Guarantor
of Payment for amounts paid under this Article X until such time as the Secured
Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the
occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the
liability of the US Borrower as a Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain
absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a)    any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any of the
Secured Obligations or any Loan Document or Related Writing;

127

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other
term of, any Secured Obligations or any other obligation of any Credit Party
under any Loan Document, Hedge Agreement or Bank Products Agreement, or any
rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of any Loan Document or any
other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting
from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;

(c)    any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection
of any Collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or
other modification of any guaranty, for the Secured Obligations;

(d)    any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any
Collateral;

(e)    any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance
of the Secured Obligations;

(f)    any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure,
ownership or existence of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any
Credit Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Secured
Obligation;

(g)    any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose to any
Credit Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or
otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Credit
Party now or hereafter known to such Person (and each Guarantor waives any duty
of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose such information);

(h)    the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any
Guaranty of Payment Joinder or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or
reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other obligor with respect to the
Secured Obligations;

(i)    the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim
or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of
any Loan Document or otherwise;

(j)    any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the
Canadian Borrower against the Administrative Agent or any Lender; or

(k)    any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of
limitations) or manner of administering the Loans (or any other financial
accommodations) or any existence of, or reliance on, any representation by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender that might vary the risk of any Guarantor or
otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge
of, any Credit Party or any other obligor or surety.

128

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With respect to its obligations hereunder, the US Borrower hereby expressly
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices
whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender
exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of
the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan
Documents, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security
for, any of the Secured Obligations.

Section 10.3. Reinstatement. The obligations of the US Borrower under this
Article X shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that, for any
reason, any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Secured
Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of
the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or
reorganization or otherwise, and the US Borrower agrees that it will indemnify
the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with
such rescission or restoration, including any such reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a
preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law.

Section 10.4. Certain Additional Waivers. The US Borrower agrees that the US
Borrower shall have no right of recourse to security for any of the Secured
Obligations guaranteed pursuant to this Article X, except through the exercise
of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof and through the
exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 10.6 hereof.

Section 10.5. Remedies. The US Borrower agrees that, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, as between the US Borrower, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, on the other hand, the
Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in
Section 7.1 or 7.2 hereof (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due
and payable in the circumstances provided in such Section 8.2) for purposes of
Section 10.1 hereof, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such declaration (or preventing the Secured Obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the
event of such declaration (or the Secured Obligations being deemed to have
become automatically due and payable), the Secured Obligations (whether or not
due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by
the US Borrower for purposes of Section 10.1 hereof.

Section 10.6. Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this
Article X is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing
guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations owing by the Canadian Borrower,
whenever arising.

Section 10.7. Payments. All payments by the US Borrower under this Article X
shall be made in Dollars, and free and clear of any Taxes.

129

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE XI. MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1. Lenders’ Independent Investigation. Each Lender, by its signature
to this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent has
made no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the
creditworthiness, financial condition, or any other condition of any Company or
with respect to the statements contained in any information memorandum furnished
in connection herewith or in any other oral or written communication between the
Administrative Agent and such Lender. Each Lender represents that it has made
and shall continue to make its own independent investigation of the
creditworthiness, financial condition and affairs of the Companies in connection
with the extension of credit hereunder, and agrees that the Administrative Agent
has no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto
(other than such notices as may be expressly required to be given by the
Administrative Agent to the Lenders hereunder), whether coming into its
possession before the first Credit Event hereunder or at any time or times
thereafter. Each Lender further represents that it has reviewed each of the Loan
Documents.

Section 11.2. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No omission or course of dealing
on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note
(or, if there is no Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the books
and records of the Administrative Agent) in exercising any right, power or
remedy hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan
Documents. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in addition to any
other rights, powers or privileges held under any of the Loan Documents or by
operation of law, by contract or otherwise.

Section 11.3. Amendments, Waivers and Consents.

(a)    General Rule. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any
provision of any Loan Document nor consent to any variance therefrom (other than
pursuant to Section 2.11(b) and (c) hereof), shall be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given.

(b)    Exceptions to the General Rule. Notwithstanding the provisions of
subsection (a) above, but subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(b) and (c)
hereof:

(i)    Consent of Lenders Affected Required. No amendment, modification, waiver
or consent shall (A) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (B) extend the date scheduled for payment of any
principal (excluding mandatory prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or
Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations or commitment fees payable hereunder
without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (C) reduce
the principal amount of any Loan, the stated rate of interest thereon (provided
that the institution of the Default Rate or post default interest and a
subsequent removal of the Default Rate or post default interest shall not
constitute a decrease in interest rate pursuant to this Section 11.3) or the
stated rate of commitment fees payable hereunder, without the consent of each
Lender directly affected

130

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thereby, (D) change the manner of pro rata application of any payments made by
the applicable Borrower to the Lenders hereunder, without the consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby, (E) without the unanimous consent of the
Lenders, change any percentage voting requirement, voting rights, or the
Required Lenders definition in this Agreement, (F) without the unanimous consent
of the Lenders, release any Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment or release or
subordinate any material amount of Collateral, except in connection with a
transaction specifically permitted hereunder, (G) without the unanimous consent
of the Lenders, amend this Section 11.3 or Section 8.5 or 8.8 hereof, or
(H) without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, permit any Borrower to assign
its rights hereunder or any interest herein.

(ii)    Provisions Relating to Special Rights and Duties. No provision of this
Agreement affecting the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such shall be
amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent Fee Letter may be amended or modified by the Administrative
Agent and the Administrative Borrower without the consent of any other Lender.
No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Issuing
Lender in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the
consent of the Issuing Lender. No provision of this Agreement relating to the
rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such shall be
amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Swing Line Lender.

(iii)    Technical and Conforming Modifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
technical and conforming modifications to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents may be made with the consent of the Administrative Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (A) if such modifications are not adverse to the Lenders
and are requested by Governmental Authorities or necessary to comply with local
law or advice of local counsel, (B) to cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency, or (C) to the extent necessary to integrate any increase in the
Commitment or new Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) hereof.

(c)    Replacement of Non‑Consenting Lender. If the Required Lenders have
consented to any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder that requires the
consent of all Lenders, or each affected Lender, but the consent of all Lenders,
or each affected Lender, has not been obtained (each Lender withholding consent
to such amendment, wavier or consent being referred to as a “Non‑Consenting
Lender”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not the Non‑Consenting
Lender, the Administrative Agent may (and shall, if requested by the
Administrative Borrower), at the sole expense of the US Borrower, upon notice to
such Non‑Consenting Lender and the Administrative Borrower, require such
Non‑Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance
with the restrictions contained in Section 11.9 hereof) all of its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement to a financial institution
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Non‑Consenting Lender shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its
Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to
it hereunder, from such financial institution (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Administrative Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation

131

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

under Article III hereof), and (ii) the applicable assignee shall have consented
to the proposed amendment, waiver or consent at issue.

(d)    Generally. Notice of amendments, waivers or consents ratified by the
Lenders hereunder shall be forwarded by the Administrative Agent to all of the
Lenders. Each Lender or other holder of a Note, or if there is no Note, the
holder of the interest as reflected on the books and records of the
Administrative Agent (or interest in any Loan or Letter of Credit) shall be
bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this Section
11.3, regardless of its failure to agree thereto.

Section 11.4. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing and, if to a Borrower, mailed or
delivered to it, addressed to it at the address specified on the signature pages
of this Agreement, if to the Administrative Agent or a Lender, mailed or
delivered to it, addressed to the address of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, or, as to each party,
at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice
to each of the other parties. All notices, statements, requests, demands and
other communications provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be given or made
when delivered (if received during normal business hours on a Business Day, such
Business Day, otherwise the following Business Day) or two Business Days after
being deposited in the mails with postage prepaid by registered or certified
mail, addressed as aforesaid, or sent by facsimile or electronic communication,
in each case of facsimile or electronic communication with telephonic
confirmation of receipt. All notices pursuant to any of the provisions hereof
shall not be effective until received. For purposes of Article II hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from
any person that the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized
Officer, and the Borrowers shall hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender
harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance.

Section 11.5. Costs, Expenses and Documentary Taxes. The US Borrower and, to the
extent relating to the obligations of the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian
Borrower, agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent and all Related Expenses, including but not limited to
(a) syndication, administration, travel and properly documented out of pocket
expenses, including but not limited to reasonable and documented external
attorneys’ fees and expenses, of the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, negotiation and closing of the Loan Documents and the
administration of the Loan Documents, and the collection and disbursement of all
funds hereunder and the other instruments and documents to be delivered
hereunder, (b) properly documented extraordinary expenses of the Administrative
Agent incurred in connection with the administration of the Loan Documents and
the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and (c) the
reasonable and properly documented fees and out of pocket expenses of special
counsel for the Administrative Agent, with respect to the foregoing, and of
local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said special counsel with respect
thereto. The US Borrowers and, to the extent relating to the obligations of the
Canadian Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, to pay on demand all properly
documented costs and expenses (including Related Expenses) of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, in
connection with the restructuring or enforcement of the Obligations, this
Agreement

132

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or any other Related Writing. In addition, the US Borrower and the Canadian
Borrower (if appropriate) shall pay any and all properly documented stamp,
transfer, documentary and other taxes, assessments, charges and fees payable or
determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents, and the other instruments and documents to be delivered
hereunder, and agree to hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless
from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any
delay in paying or failure to pay such taxes or fees, other than those
liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent, or, with respect to amounts owing to a Lender, such
Lender, in each case as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction. All obligations provided for in this Section
11.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.6. Indemnification. The US Borrower, and the Canadian Borrower to the
extent relating to Foreign Obligations, agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and their respective
Affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees) from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with
any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such
Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be designated a party thereto) or any
other claim by any Person (including any Borrower or any other Credit Party)
relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any actual or proposed use of
proceeds of the Loans or any of the Obligations, or any activities of any
Company or its Affiliates; provided that no Lender nor the Administrative Agent
(nor their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, agents and
employees) shall have the right to be indemnified under this Section 11.6 for
its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a
final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All
obligations provided for in this Section 11.6 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement.

Section 11.7. Obligations Several; No Fiduciary Obligations. The obligations of
the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this
Agreement and no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No default by
any Lender hereunder shall excuse the other Lenders from any obligation under
this Agreement; but no Lender shall have or acquire any additional obligation of
any kind by reason of such default. The relationship between the Borrowers and
the Lenders with respect to the Loan Documents and the other Related Writings is
and shall be solely that of debtors and creditors, respectively, and neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary obligation toward
any Credit Party with respect to any such documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby.

Section 11.8. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
and by facsimile or other electronic signature, each of which counterparts when
so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

133

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 11.9. Successors and Assigns.

(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any
Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 11.9, (ii) by
way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this
Section 11.9, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest
subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section 11.9 (and any
other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and
void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
subsection (d) of this Section 11.9 and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation (i) such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) all Loans made
by such Lender, (iii) such Lender’s Notes (if any), and (iv) such Lender’s
interest in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan); provided that any such
assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)    Minimum Amounts.

(A)    no minimum amount is required to be assigned in the case of (x) an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment
(to the extent the Commitment is still in effect) and the Loans at the time
owing to such Lender, (y) contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds
(determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the
amount specified in subpart (b)(i)(B) of this Section 11.9 in the aggregate, or
(z) in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund; and

(B)    in any case not described in subpart (b)(i)(A) of this Section 11.9, the
aggregate amount of each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent (or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment
Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than Two Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under

134

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this Agreement. Each Lender shall at all times maintain the same Applicable
Commitment Percentage (as rounded to the sixth decimal) with respect to the
Revolving Credit Commitment, the US Term Loan Commitment and the Canadian Term
Loan Commitment.

(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section 11.9 and,
in addition:

(A)    the consent of the Administrative Borrower (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) a Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment,
or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund; provided that (y) the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have
consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written
notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having
received notice thereof, and (z) the Administrative Borrower’s consent shall not
be required during the primary syndication of the Commitment;

(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person
that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C)    the consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender shall be
required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitment.

(iv)    Assignment Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a
processing and recordation fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500);
provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to
waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
administrative questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.

(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to
(A) a Borrower or any of any Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to
any Defaulting Lender or any Person that, upon becoming a Lender, would
constitute a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment of all or a portion of a Lender’s
Canadian Commitment or other rights and obligations under this Agreement
relating to the Canadian Borrower shall be made to a Canadian Qualified Lender.

(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned
and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(vii)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment
shall be effective

135

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Administrative Borrower 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 (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment
liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and
interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full
pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Loans in accordance with its Applicable Commitment 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 subpart (vii), then the assignee of such
interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this
Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(viii)    Treatment as Lenders. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 11.9, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement, and, to the extent of
the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, 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
Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment Agreement 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 Article III and
Sections 11.5 and 11.6 hereof 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. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this subpart shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 11.9.

(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender
from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall 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. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower and
any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

136

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(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 a holding company, investment vehicle or
trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person,
or any Borrower or any of any Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all
or a portion of the Commitment and the Loans and participations owing to it and
the Notes, if any, held by it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the
indemnity under Section 9.10 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to
any of its Participants.

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, modification or waiver with respect to the following (to the
extent that it affects such Participant): (i) any increase in the portion of the
participation amount of any Participant over the amount thereof then in effect,
or any extension of the Commitment Period; or (ii) any reduction of the
principal amount of or extension of the time for any payment of principal on any
Loan, or the reduction of the rate of interest or extension of the time for
payment of interest on any Loan, or the reduction of the commitment fee. The
Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Article III hereof (subject to the requirements and limitations therein,
including the requirements under Section 3.2(e) hereof (it being understood that
the documentation required under Section 3.2(e) hereof shall be delivered to the
participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section
11.9; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions
of Sections 3.6 hereof as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this
Section 11.9; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Article III hereof, with respect to any participation, than its participating
Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such
entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that
occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender
that sells a participation agrees, at the Administrative Borrower’s request and
expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate
the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof with respect to any Participant. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 8.4 hereof as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 8.5 hereof as though it were a Lender. Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the
name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under
the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity

137

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in
any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any
Loan Document) 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)    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 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.

Section 11.10. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article VII hereof or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof shall be applied at such time
or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: (A) first,
to the payment of amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; (B) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts
owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender
hereunder; (C) third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14
hereof; (D) fourth, as the Administrative Borrower may request (so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of
which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required
by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; (E) fifth, if so
determined by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower, to be
held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (1) satisfy such
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans
under this Agreement, and (2) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future
Fronting Exposure with respect to such with respect to future Letters of Credit
issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.14 hereof; (F) sixth,
to the payment of any amounts

138

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender as a result of
any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the
Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; (G) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the
payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under
this Agreement; and (H) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise
directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (y) such
payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or any Letters of
Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its
appropriate share, and (z) such Loans were made or reimbursement of any payment
on any Letters of Credit were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued
at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 hereof were satisfied or
waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and the Letter
of Credit Exposure owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior
to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Exposure
owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and
unfunded participations in the Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Loans are
held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitment under the
applicable facility without giving effect to Section 11.10(a)(iv) hereof. 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 11.10(a)(ii) hereof shall be deemed
paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably
consents hereto.

(iii)    Certain Fees.

(A)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for
any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the US Borrower
shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been
required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit
fees, as set forth in Section 2.2A(b)(iii), 2.2A(b)(iv), 2.2B(b)(iii) and
2.2B(b)(iv) hereof for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting
Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Commitment Percentage of
the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral
pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof.

(C)    With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender
pursuant to subpart (A) or (B) above, the US Borrower shall (1) pay to each
Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such
Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in the
Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such
Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to subpart (iv) below, (2) pay to the Issuing
Lender and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee
otherwise payable to such

139

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s or Swing Line
Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to
pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any
part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in the Letter of Credit Exposure
and Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in
accordance with their respective Applicable Commitment Percentages with respect
thereto (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but
only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving
Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage with respect to the Revolving Credit
Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of
any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that
Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a
Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased
exposure following such reallocation.

(v)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Loans. If the reallocation described
in subpart (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the US
Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it
hereunder or under law, (y) first, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the
Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (z) second, Cash Collateralize the
Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 2.14 hereof.

(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, 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), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at
par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other
actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be reasonably necessary to
cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and
Swing Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the
Commitments under the applicable facility (without giving effect to Section
11.12(a)(iv) hereof), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that (i) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect
to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that
Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and (ii) 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.

(c)    New Swing Loan and Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any
Swing Loan unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after
giving effect to such Swing Loan, and (ii) the Issuing Lender shall not be
required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is
satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

140

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    Replacement of Defaulting Lenders. Each Lender agrees that, during the
time in which any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall
have the right (and the Administrative Agent shall, if requested by the US
Borrower), at the sole expense of the Borrowers, upon notice to such Defaulting
Lender and the US Borrower, to require that such Defaulting Lender assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in
Section 11.9 hereof), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an Eligible Assignee, approved by the US Borrower (unless an Event
of Default shall exist) and the Administrative Agent, that shall assume such
obligations.

Section 11.11. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender, and the Administrative Agent
(for itself and not on behalf of any other party), hereby notifies the Credit
Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and any other
applicable anti-terrorism Law (including Canadian Anti-Money Laundering &
Anti-Terrorism Legislation), such Lender and the Administrative Agent are
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit
Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the Credit
Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the
Patriot Act or such other applicable anti-terrorism Law. Each Borrower shall
provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such
actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or a Lender in
order to assist the Administrative Agent or such Lender in maintaining
compliance with the Patriot Act and any other applicable anti-terrorism Law.

Section 11.12. Severability of Provisions; Captions; Attachments. Any provision
of this Agreement that shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. The several captions to sections and subsections herein are
inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the
provisions of this Agreement. Each schedule or exhibit attached to this
Agreement shall be incorporated herein and shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

Section 11.13. Investment Purpose. Each of the Lenders represents and warrants
to the Borrowers that such Lender is entering into this Agreement with the
present intention of acquiring any Note issued pursuant hereto (or, if there is
no Note, the interest as reflected on the books and records of the
Administrative Agent) for investment purposes only and not for the purpose of
distribution or resale, it being understood, however, that each Lender shall at
all times retain full control over the disposition of its assets.

Section 11.14. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, any Note and any other Loan Document or other agreement,
document or instrument attached hereto or executed on or as of the Original
Closing Date (to the extent such documents may have been amended, amended and
restated or replaced in connection herewith) and the Restatement Closing Date
integrate all of the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto
and supersede all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings with
respect to the subject matter hereof.

141

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 11.15. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall
hold all Confidential Information in accordance with the customary procedures of
the Administrative Agent or such Lender for handling confidential information of
this nature, and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may in any
event make disclosures of, and furnish copies of Confidential Information (a) to
another agent under this Agreement or another Lender; (b) when reasonably
required by any bona fide transferee or participant in connection with the
contemplated transfer of any Loans or Commitment or participation therein
(provided that each such prospective transferee or participant shall have an
agreement for the benefit of the Borrowers with such prospective transferor
Lender or participant containing substantially similar provisions to those
contained in this Section 11.15); (c) to the parent corporation or other
Affiliates of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and to their respective
auditors and attorneys; and (d) as required or requested by any Governmental
Authority or representative thereof, or pursuant to legal process, provided,
that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable Law or court order, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall notify the chief
financial officer of the Administrative Borrower of any request by any
Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in
connection with an examination of the financial condition of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender by such Governmental Authority), and of any other request
pursuant to legal process, for disclosure of any such non-public information
prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the
Borrowers and their Affiliates may disclose to any and all Persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents and materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrowers or their Affiliates relating to
such tax treatment and tax structure; it being understood that this
authorization is retroactively effective to the commencement of the first
discussions between or among any of the parties regarding the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents. In no event shall the
Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any
materials furnished by or on behalf of any Company. Each Borrower hereby agrees
that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with the
provisions of this 11.15 shall not relieve any Borrower of any of the
obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.16. Limitations on Liability of the Issuing Lender. The Borrowers
assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of
any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. Neither
the Issuing Lender nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or
responsible for (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts
or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the
validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement
thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Issuing Lender
against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter
of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate
reference to such Letter of Credit (unless such payment results from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank); or (d) any other
circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter
of Credit, except that the account party on such Letter of Credit shall have a
claim against

142

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Issuing Lender, and the Issuing Lender shall be liable to such account
party, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by
such account party that such account party proves were caused by (i) the Issuing
Lender’s or any of its officer’s or director’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction) in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of
Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (ii) the Issuing
Lender’s or any of its officer’s or director’s willful failure to make lawful
payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may
accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation.

Section 11.17. General Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by any
Credit Party, the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender
or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of
them or any other Person against any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender, or any other Lender or the Affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than actual
compensatory damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other
theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or
event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrowers, each Lender, the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender hereby, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable Law, waive, release and agree not to sue or
counterclaim upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected
to exist in their favor and regardless of whether any Credit Party, any Lender,
Issuing Lender, or the Administrative Agent has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss of damage.

Section 11.18. No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and
other professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of
which any such Person may act) retained by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents shall
have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Administrative Agent or
such Lender, as the case may be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of
loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature
whatsoever to the Borrowers, any other Companies, or any other Person, with
respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or related to
their activities in connection with such representation. Each Borrower agrees,
on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, not to assert any claim or
counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters, all such
claims and counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known or
unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released and forever
discharged, other than those claims and counterclaims arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such persons with regard to such matters.

Section 11.19. Legal Representation of Parties. The Loan Documents were
negotiated by the parties with the benefit of legal representation and any rule
of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement or any
other Loan Document to be construed or interpreted against any party shall not
apply to any construction or interpretation hereof or thereof.

143

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 11.20. Judgment Currency.

(a)    This is an international transaction in which the obligations of the
Credit Parties to make payment to or for account of the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders in a specified currency (“Original Currency”) shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment
expressed in or converted into any other currency (“Judgment Currency”) except
to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by
the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender of the full amount in Original
Currency payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement

(b)    If the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, or any other
holder of the Secured Obligations (the “Applicable Creditor”) obtains a judgment
or judgments against any Credit Party in respect of any sum adjudged to be due
to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes or any
other Loan Document (the “Judgment Amount”) in a Judgment Currency other than
the Original Currency, the obligations of such Credit Party in connection with
such judgment shall be discharged only to the extent that (i) on the Business
Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so
due in the Judgment Currency, such Applicable Creditor, in accordance with the
normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, can purchase the
Original Currency with the Judgment Currency; and (ii) if the amount of Original
Currency that could have been purchased pursuant to subpart (i) above is less
than the amount of Original Currency that could have been purchased with the
Judgment Amount on the date or dates the Judgment Amount (excluding the portion
of the Judgment Amount that has accrued as a result of the failure of such
Credit Party to pay the sum originally due hereunder when it was originally due
and owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder) was originally
due and owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder (the “Loss”),
such Credit Party 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. For purposes of determining the equivalent in one
currency of another currency as provided in this Section 11.20, such amount
shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the conversion
into or from any currency. The obligations of the Credit Parties contained in
this Section 11.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

Section 11.21. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or
in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties,
each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is
unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA
Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to
be bound by:

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

144

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

Section 11.22. Canadian Limitation Periods. To the extent that any limitation
period within the meaning of applicable legislation in any jurisdiction of
Canada applies to any claim for payment of the Secured Obligations, or remedy
for enforcement of such Secured Obligations, each Borrower agrees that:

(a)    any such limitation period is expressly excluded and waived entirely if
permitted by applicable law;

(b)    if a complete exclusion and waiver of any such limitation period is not
permitted by applicable law, any limitation period is extended to the maximum
length permitted by applicable law;

(c)    any applicable limitation period shall not begin before an express demand
for payment of such Secured Obligations is made in writing by the Administrative
Lender to such Borrower; and

(d)    any applicable limitation period shall begin afresh upon any payment or
other acknowledgment of the Secured Obligations by any Borrower.

Section 11.23. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a)    Governing Law. This Agreement, each of the Notes and any other Related
Writing (except as otherwise specifically set forth in any Loan Document
governed by the Laws of another jurisdiction) shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the Laws of the State of Ohio and the respective rights and
obligations of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall be
governed by Ohio law, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

(b)    Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to
the non‑exclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state or federal court sitting in
Cleveland, Ohio, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, the Obligations or any other Related Writing (except as
otherwise specifically set forth in any Loan Document governed by the Laws of
another jurisdiction), and each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all
claims in respect of such

145

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio state or federal
court. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any action or proceeding in any
such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such
action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM
NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. Each Borrower agrees that a final, non‑appealable
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law.
