which shall be a period contemplated by Section 2.04(a); and

(viii) the location and number of the relevant Borrower’s account to which funds
are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.07.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Borrowing shall be (i) in the case of a Borrowing under the US Tranche, an ABR
Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Borrowing under the UK Tranche, a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, and (iii) in the case of a Borrowing under the Canadian Tranche
denominated in (x) Canadian Dollars, a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing, and (y) US
Dollars, an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to
any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no term is
specified with respect to any requested Borrowing of Acceptances, then the
relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a term of one month’s
duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with
this Section, the Applicable Agent shall advise each Lender that will make a
Loan or accept a Draft as part of the requested Borrowing of the details thereof
and of the amount of the Loan to be made or the face amount of the Draft to be
accepted by such Lender as part of the requested Borrowing. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Company may only make two (2) requests for an Existing Block Loan
and/or a New Block Loan in any calendar week.

SECTION 2.04. Canadian Bankers’ Acceptances.

(a) Notice and Term. Any Canadian Borrower may give the Canadian Agent
instructions (which must be received by the Canadian Agent before 12:00 noon
(Toronto time) on the second Business Day before the proposed date of a
requested Borrowing to be effective) that it wishes to have Drafts accepted
under this Agreement on any proposed Business Day and stating the aggregate face
amount and the term applicable to such Drafts. The term of such Drafts must be a
period of one, two, three or six months (the “Contract Period”), and be subject
to marketability, maturing on or before the end of the Availability Period.

(b) Face Amount of Drafts. The aggregate face amount of an issue of Drafts to be
accepted on any particular date of a requested Borrowing must be C$5,000,000 or
a whole number multiple of C$1,000,000 in excess thereof. The face amount of
each Acceptance shall be a whole number multiple of C$100,000. The Canadian
Agent will round allocations among the Canadian Tranche Lenders to ensure that
each Acceptance issued has a face amount which is a whole number multiple of
C$100,000, and such rounded allocation shall constitute the Canadian Tranche
Lenders’ respective Canadian Tranche Percentages of an issue of Acceptances for
the purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Power of Attorney. In order to facilitate issues of Acceptances pursuant to
this Agreement, each Canadian Borrower authorizes each Canadian Tranche Lender,
and for this purpose appoints each Canadian Tranche Lender its lawful attorney,
to complete, sign and endorse Drafts issued in accordance with Sections 2.04(a)
and (b) on its behalf in handwritten or by facsimile or mechanical signature or
otherwise and, once so completed, signed and endorsed, and following acceptance
of them as an Acceptance under this Agreement, then purchase, discount or
negotiate such Acceptances in

 

48

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

accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.04. Drafts so completed,
signed, endorsed and negotiated on behalf of any Canadian Borrower by any
Canadian Tranche Lender shall bind such Canadian Borrower as fully and
effectively as if so performed by an authorized officer of such Canadian
Borrower. No Canadian Tranche Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or
other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument
except the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Canadian Tranche
Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. Alternatively,
each Canadian Borrower agrees that, at the request of the Canadian Agent, each
Canadian Borrower shall deliver to the Canadian Agent a “depository note” which
complies with the requirements of the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada),
and consents to the deposit of any such depository note in the book-based debt
clearance system maintained by the Canadian Depository for Securities.

(d) Restrictions. The Canadian Agent shall have the discretion to restrict the
term and maturity date of an issue of Acceptances and the number of issues of
Acceptances outstanding at any one time. Unless the Canadian Agent notifies each
Canadian Borrower to the contrary, the maximum number of issuances of
Acceptances outstanding at any time is limited to five in total for all Canadian
Borrowers.

(e) Discount and Sale of Acceptances.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.04(j), each Canadian Tranche
Lender shall purchase for its own account Acceptances accepted by such Canadian
Tranche Lender on the date of such Borrowing at the purchase price equal to the
face amount of such Acceptances less an amount equal to the amount (the
“Discount”) that yields to such Canadian Tranche Lender (excluding the Stamping
Fee) an interest rate per annum equal to the CDOR BA Rate applicable to such
Acceptance for the applicable term of such Acceptances.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.04(l) and (m), each Canadian
Tranche Lender shall pay the Net Acceptance Proceeds of its Canadian Tranche
Percentage of each issue of Acceptances to the Canadian Agent on the date of
such Borrowing in exchange for delivery of such Acceptances. Such Net Acceptance
Proceeds, when received by the Canadian Agent, will be advanced by bank transfer
to the credit of the applicable Canadian Borrower’s account.

(iii) Each Canadian Tranche Lender may at any time and from time to time
purchase, hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any Acceptance, and no
such dealing shall prejudice or impair any Canadian Borrower’s obligations under
Section 2.04(g).

(f) Stamping Fee. A stamping fee is payable by the applicable Canadian Borrower
to each accepting Canadian Tranche Lender on the issuance of each Acceptance and
shall be calculated upon the face amount of each such Acceptance for the
duration of its term on the basis of the actual number of days to elapse from
the date of its acceptance up to the maturity date of the Acceptance, calculated
at the Applicable Rate. Each accepting Canadian Tranche Lender shall be entitled
to deduct from the Acceptance Proceeds to be remitted to the Canadian Agent
pursuant to Subsection 2.04(e)(ii) the stamping fee payable to it as determined
in accordance with this Section 2.04(f).

(g) Payment of Acceptances. Subject to Section 2.04 (l) and (m), each Canadian
Borrower shall pay to each Canadian Tranche Lender the full face amount of each
Acceptance accepted by such Canadian Tranche Lender for its account on the
maturity date of such Acceptance. If an Acceptance matures and such Canadian
Borrower has not made such payment, nor effected a Conversion or Rollover
pursuant to Section 2.04(l) or (m), respectively, such Canadian Borrower shall
be deemed to have provided for payment of the full face amount of the Acceptance
by Conversion of such Acceptance into a Canadian Base Rate Loan in a principal
amount equal to the full face amount of the Acceptance on its maturity date.

 

49

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

(h) Waivers. No Canadian Borrower shall claim from any Canadian Tranche Lender
any days of grace for the payment at maturity of any Drafts presented and
accepted by such Canadian Tranche Lender pursuant to this Agreement. In
addition, each Canadian Borrower waives demand, presentment for payment,
protest, notice of protest, dishonor, notice of dishonor and any other notice or
defense to payment (including the doctrine of merger) which might otherwise
exist if for any reason an Acceptance is held by any Canadian Tranche Lender in
its own right at the maturity thereof.

(i) Notice of Maturing Acceptances. The applicable Canadian Borrower shall give
the Canadian Agent, before 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the second Business Day
before the maturity of any Acceptances, a notice of repayment or Borrowing
Request requesting a Conversion or Rollover in respect of such Acceptances in
order to permit each Canadian Tranche Lender to organize its internal funding
requirements to fund the payment of the face amount of such Acceptances to the
respective holders thereof upon or following maturity.

(j) B/A Equivalent Advances. If a Canadian Tranche Lender is not a Canadian
chartered bank or is not permitted by applicable law to, or does not by virtue
of policy or customary practice, accept Drafts for the purpose of subsequent
sale as a bankers’ acceptance (a “Non-Acceptance Lender”), each time a Canadian
Borrower gives a Borrowing Request for an issue of Acceptances, such
Non-Acceptance Lender shall, in lieu of accepting and purchasing Acceptances
pursuant to Section 2.04(e), make an advance in Canadian Dollars to such
Canadian Borrower (a “B/A Equivalent Advance”) in the amount equal to the
Acceptance Proceeds which would be derived from a hypothetical sale of Drafts
accepted by it (“Notional Acceptances”) in the aggregate face amount of its
Canadian Tranche Percentage of such requested issue of Acceptances at a discount
rate that yields to such Non-Acceptance Lender (excluding the Stamping Fee) an
interest rate per annum equal to the CDOR BA Rate for Acceptances accepted by a
Canadian Tranche Lender that is not a Schedule I Bank. Any B/A Equivalent
Advance shall be repayable on the maturity of such issue of Acceptances. A
Non-Acceptance Lender shall be entitled to deduct from the amount of its B/A
Equivalent Advance to be paid to the Canadian Agent pursuant to
Subsection 2.04(e)(ii) an amount equal to the Stamping Fee determined in
accordance with Section 2.04(f) that would have been payable to it with respect
to the Notional Acceptances corresponding to the B/A Equivalent Advance. For the
purposes of this Agreement each reference to an issue of Acceptances or
Acceptances issued by a Non-Acceptance Lender shall be deemed to include, where
relevant, B/A Equivalent Advances, with the necessary changes being made to fit
the context.

(k) Calculation of Net Acceptance Proceeds. The Net Acceptance Proceeds for any
Acceptances purchased by a Canadian Tranche Lender may be determined in
accordance with the following formula:

where n is the number of days to elapse in the term of the Acceptances, CDOR BA
Rate is the applicable rate for such Acceptance and is expressed as a decimal
and AR is the Applicable Rate with respect to the Stamping Fee.

 

50

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

(l) Conversions. Any Canadian Borrower may request the Canadian Tranche Lenders
to convert (a) at any time, a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing or a portion thereof
into an issue of Acceptances or (b) on its maturity date, an issue of
Acceptances or a portion thereof into a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing, upon
delivering a Borrowing Request to the Canadian Agent requesting a Conversion
specifying both the amount of the Borrowing to be converted and the amount and
Type of the requested resulting Borrowing. The relevant provisions of this
Agreement applicable to a borrowing and availability of the Type of Borrowing
which will result from the Conversion (as well as any portion of the Borrowing
which is not being converted) must be satisfied to effect any such requested
Borrowing (including the applicable notice provisions contained in
Section 2.03). Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(l), the
Borrowing (or portion thereof) requested to be converted shall be converted in
accordance with the Borrowing Request and any Net Acceptance Proceeds derived
from the Conversion shall be retained by each Canadian Tranche Lender for its
own account.

(m) Rollovers. At or before 12:00 noon (Toronto time) two Business Days prior to
the maturity of an issue of Acceptances, unless the applicable Canadian Borrower
has delivered to the Canadian Agent a Borrowing Request requesting a Conversion
in accordance with Section 2.04(l) or a notice of repayment, such Canadian
Borrower shall deliver a Borrowing Request to the Canadian Agent requesting a
Rollover and selecting the term applicable to the resulting issue of
Acceptances. The relevant provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Borrowing
of Acceptances must be satisfied to effect any such Rollover. Subject to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(m), the Borrowing (or portion thereof)
requested to be rolled over shall be rolled over in accordance with the
Borrowing Request and the Net Acceptance Proceeds derived from the Rollover
shall be retained by each Canadian Tranche Lender for its own account. The
provisions of Section 2.04(g) shall apply if any Canadian Borrower fails to
deliver any such requests or notice.

(n) Payments on a Conversion or Rollover. If any Canadian Borrower requests the
Canadian Tranche Lenders to convert a Canadian Base Rate Loan or a portion
thereof to an issue of Acceptances pursuant to Section 2.04(l), or to Rollover
an issue of Acceptances or a portion thereof pursuant to Section 2.04(m), then
such Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Tranche Lenders the difference
between (a) the face amount of the resulting Acceptances minus (b) the Net
Acceptance Proceeds of the resulting Acceptances determined in accordance with
Section 2.04(k) upon the acceptance and purchase of the resulting Acceptances in
accordance with this Section 2.04.

SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the US Tranche Swingline Lender agrees to make US Tranche Swingline
Loans in US Dollars to the Company from time to time during the Availability
Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not
result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding US Tranche Swingline
Loans exceeding $0 or (ii) the total US Tranche Revolving Exposures exceeding
the total US Tranche Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender
shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding
Swingline Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Canadian Tranche Swingline Lender agrees to make Canadian Tranche Swingline
Loans in Canadian Dollars to the Canadian Borrowers from time to time during the
Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding
that will not result in (i) the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Canadian Tranche Swingline Loans exceeding $0 or (ii) the
total Canadian Tranche Exposures exceeding the total Canadian Tranche
Commitments; provided that the Canadian Tranche Swingline Lender shall not be
required to make a Canadian Tranche Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding
Canadian Tranche Swingline Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the UK Tranche Swingline Lender agrees to make UK Tranche Swingline
Loans in Pounds Sterling or Euro to the UK Borrowers from time to time during
the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding that will not result in (i) the US Dollar Equivalent of the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding UK Tranche Swingline Loans exceeding
$0 or (ii) the total UK

 

51

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

Tranche Exposures exceeding the total UK Tranche Commitments; provided that the
UK Tranche Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a UK Tranche Swingline
Loan to refinance an outstanding UK Tranche Swingline Loan. For the avoidance of
doubt, from and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, no Swingline Loans
shall be made under this Agreement.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower shall notify the
Applicable Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later
than 1:00 p.m., Local Time (except, in the case of a Canadian Tranche Swingline
Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, Toronto time) on the day of a proposed
Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested
Swingline Loan and the Tranche under which the requested Swingline Loan will be
borrowed. The Applicable Agent will promptly advise the applicable Swingline
Lender of any such notice received from a Borrower. The applicable Swingline
Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower by
means of a credit to the general deposit account of such Borrower with such
Swingline Lender or by wire transfer to an account specified by such Borrower in
the applicable borrowing request (or, in the case of a US Tranche Swingline Loan
made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m.,
Local Time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) A Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Applicable Agent not
later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on any Business Day require the applicable
Lenders under a Tranche to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or
a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding under such Tranche. Such notice
shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which such Lenders will
participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Applicable Agent will
give notice thereof to each applicable Lender, specifying in such notice such
Lender’s Tranche Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above,
to pay to the Applicable Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline
Lender, such Lender’s Tranche Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in
Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with
its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made
by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Lenders), and the Applicable Agent shall promptly pay to the
applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The
Applicable Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower of any participations in
any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments
in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Applicable Agent and not
to such Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the
applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of the applicable Borrower) in
respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the
proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the
Applicable Agent; any such amounts received by such Agent shall be promptly
remitted by such Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments
pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may
appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such
Swingline Lender or to such Applicable Agent, as applicable, if and to the
extent such payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for
any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this
paragraph shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of any default in the
payment thereof.

 

52

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

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Company may request the issuance, for its own
account and for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, of
Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars or in any Alternative Currency, in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at
any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of
any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by the Company to, or entered into by the Company with, the
Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Section 2.06, there shall be no obligation of any Issuing Bank to issue any
Letter of Credit in respect of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount unless the
conditions specified in Section 4.02(d) shall have been satisfied or waived as
of the date of the issuing of such Letter of Credit, and there shall be no
obligation of any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit in respect of the
New Revolver Reserve Amount unless the conditions specified in Section 4.02(e)
shall have been satisfied or waived as of the date of the issuing of such Letter
of Credit.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Company shall hand deliver or
telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so
have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended,
and specifying the Tranche under which such Letter of Credit is to be issued or
maintained, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall
be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which
shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of
Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which
shall be US Dollars or an Alternative Currency), the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare,
amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank,
the Company also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing
Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A
Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company
shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the US Dollar Equivalent of the LC
Exposure shall not exceed $700,000,000 (ii) the US Tranche Revolving Exposure
shall not exceed the total US Tranche Revolving Commitments, (iii) the Canadian
Tranche Exposure shall not exceed the total Canadian Tranche Commitments, and
(iv) the UK Tranche Exposure shall not exceed the total UK Tranche Commitments.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close
of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the
issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension
thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is
five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action
on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders under the applicable Tranche, the
Issuing Bank hereby grants to each such Lender, and each such Lender hereby
acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal
to such Lender’s Tranche Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such
Lender’s Tranche Percentage of (i) each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank
in US Dollars and (ii) the US Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rates in
effect on the date such payment is required, of each LC Disbursement made by
such Issuing Bank in an Alternative Currency, and in each case, not reimbursed
by the Company on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or
of any reimbursement

 

53

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

payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason (or, if such
reimbursement payment was refunded in an Alternative Currency, the US Dollar
Equivalent thereof using the Exchange Rates on the date of such refund). Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the
Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect
of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by
paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not
later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement
is made, if the Company shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior
to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been
received by the Company prior to such time on such date, then not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Company
receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following
the day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is not received
prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, in the case of an LC
Disbursement made in US Dollars, the Company may, subject to the conditions to
borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that
such payment be financed with an ABR US Tranche Revolving Borrowing or US
Tranche Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed,
the Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced
by the resulting ABR US Tranche Revolving Borrowing or US Tranche Swingline
Loan. If the Company fails to make such payment when due, then (i) if such
payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and
with no further action required, the Company’s obligation to reimburse the
applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to
reimburse the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the
date when such payment was due, of such LC Disbursement and (ii) in the case of
each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender under
the applicable Tranche of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due
from the Company in respect thereof and such Lender’s Tranche Percentage
thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each such Lender shall pay
to the Administrative Agent its Tranche Percentage of the payment then due from
the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to
Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to
the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank in US Dollars the amounts so
received by it from such Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph,
the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or,
to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their
interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of
ABR US Tranche Revolving Loans or a US Tranche Swingline Loan as contemplated
above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its
obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the Company’s reimbursement of,
or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would
subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender to
any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if
such reimbursement were made or required to be made in US Dollars, the Company
shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the
Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or Lender or (y) reimburse each
LC Disbursement made in such Alternative Currency in US Dollars, in an amount
equal to the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate
on the date such LC Disbursement is made, of such LC Disbursement.

 

54

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

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

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

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such
LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each
day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding
the date that the Company reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) if such LC
Disbursement is made in US Dollars, and at all times following the conversion to
US Dollars of an LC Disbursement made in an Alternative Currency pursuant to
paragraph (e) above, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR US Tranche
Revolving Loans, and (ii) if such LC Disbursement is made in an Alternative
Currency, at all times prior to its conversion to US Dollars pursuant to
paragraph (e) above, at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the
applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such LC
Disbursement plus the Applicable Rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans
at such time; provided that, if the Company fails to reimburse such LC
Disbursement

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

when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.14(d) shall
apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of
the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment
by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing
Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time
by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced
Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any
such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees
accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.13(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement,
(i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an
Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued
by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the “Issuing Bank” shall be
deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such
successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After
the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall
remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued
by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account
with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for
the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in US Dollars in cash equal to 102% of the
LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn
Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements in an Alternative
Currency that the Company is not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the
applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters
of Credit and LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash
collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become
immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company described in
clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. For the purposes of this paragraph, the
Alternative Currency LC Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on
the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to the Company.
The Company also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and
to the extent required by Section 2.12(b), Section 2.12(e) and Section 2.19(f).
Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the
payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.
The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including
the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest
earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at
the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Company’s
risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if
any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such
account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing
Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the
extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement
obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity
of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required
Lenders), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Company is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all
Events of Default have been cured or waived.

 

56

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

(k) Existing Letters of Credit. Certain letters of credit issued for the account
of the Company and outstanding on the Effective Date are identified on Schedule
2.06 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”). As of the Effective Date, (i) the
Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued
pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 2.06 as Letters of Credit under
the US Tranche, (ii) the undrawn amount of the Existing Letters of Credit and
the unreimbursed amount of LC Disbursements with respect to the Existing Letters
of Credit shall be included in the calculation of LC Exposure and US Tranche LC
Exposure, and (iii) the provisions of this Section 2.06 and Section 2.13(b)
shall apply to the Existing Letters of Credit, and the Company and the Lenders
hereby expressly acknowledge their respective obligations hereunder with respect
to the Existing Letters of Credit.

(l) Issuing Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative
Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent
(i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by
day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week,
including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations
and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to
each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or
extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued,
amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount
thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit
any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the
amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written
confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this
Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC
Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC
Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Company fails to reimburse
an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day,
the date of such failure and the amount and currency of such LC Disbursement and
(v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request.

(m) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable
on any date pursuant to Article VII, all amounts (i) that the Company is at the
time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the
Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which such Borrower
has deposited cash collateral pursuant to paragraph (j) above, if such cash
collateral was deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so
deposited or applied), (ii) that the Lenders are at the time or thereafter
become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent
is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable
Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section in respect of
unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of
Credit and (iii) of each Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency
Letter of Credit under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall,
automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the US
Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date (or in the
case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC
Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all
amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing
Bank or any Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph
shall accrue and be payable in US Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable
hereunder.

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan or
payment of Net Acceptance Proceeds to be made by it hereunder on the proposed
date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable
currency by 11:00 a.m., Local Time, to the account of the Applicable Agent most
recently designated for such purpose for Loans or Acceptances of such Class and
currency by notice to the applicable Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans
shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Applicable Agent will make such
Loans or Net Acceptance Proceeds available to the relevant Borrower by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower
maintained by the Applicable Agent in New York City, in the case of Loans

 

57

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

denominated in US Dollars, in Toronto, in the case of Loans or Acceptances
denominated in Canadian Dollars, and in London, in the case of Loans denominated
in Pounds Sterling or Euro, or in any case, by wire transfer to an account
specified by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that
ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior
to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available
to the Applicable Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the Applicable Agent, then the applicable Lender and such
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of
payment to the Applicable Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the rate
reasonably determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it of funding
such amount or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable
to the subject Loan or, in the case of an Acceptance, the interest rate
applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Applicable Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan or
Acceptance included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and each Term
Loan Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an
initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
relevant Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to
continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect
Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. A Borrower may elect
different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders
holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such
portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply
to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued, or to
Acceptance Borrowings, which are subject to Section 2.04.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower, or the Company on
its behalf, shall notify the Applicable Agent of such election by telephone by
the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such
Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to
be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Applicable Agent of a written Interest Election
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
relevant Borrower, or the Company on its behalf. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit any Borrower to
(i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for
Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (iii) convert
any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of
Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

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

 

58

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

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

(iii) the Type of the resulting Borrowing; and

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

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

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Applicable
Agent shall advise each Lender holding a Loan to which such request relates of
the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request
with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at
the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall (i) in the case of a
Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in US Dollars by the Company under the US
Tranche or the Canadian Tranche, be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in
the case of any other Eurocurrency Borrowing, be continued as a Eurocurrency
Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so
notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no
outstanding Borrowing borrowed by the Company may be converted to or continued
at the end of the then current Interest Period as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and
(ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall (A) in the case of such a
Borrowing by the Company under the US Tranche or the Canadian Tranche, be
converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto and (B) in the case of any other Eurocurrency Borrowing, be continued as
a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously
terminated, (i) the US Tranche Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date and (ii) the Revolving
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. The Revolving Commitments
shall be permanently reduced in accordance with the terms and conditions of
Section 2.12 and 2.19(f).

(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Revolving Commitments of any Tranche; provided that (i) each reduction of the
Revolving Commitments of any Tranche shall be in an amount that is an integral
multiple of the Borrowing Multiple for a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing
denominated in US Dollars and not less than the Borrowing Minimum for a
Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, (ii) the Company
shall not terminate or reduce the US Tranche Revolving Commitments if, after
giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the US Tranche Revolving Loans in
accordance with Section 2.12, the aggregate US Tranche Revolving Exposures would
exceed the aggregate US Tranche Revolving Commitments, (iii) the Company shall
not terminate or reduce the Canadian Tranche Commitments if, after giving effect
to any concurrent prepayment of the Canadian Tranche Revolving Loans in
accordance with Section 2.12, the aggregate Canadian Tranche Exposures would
exceed the aggregate Canadian Tranche Commitments, and (iv) the Company shall
not terminate or reduce the UK Tranche Commitments if, after giving effect to
any concurrent prepayment of the UK Tranche Revolving Loans in accordance with
Section 2.12, the aggregate UK Tranche Exposures would exceed the aggregate UK
Tranche Commitments.

 

59

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

(c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b)
of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying the effective date of such election. Each
notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the
Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of
other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company
(by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective
date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments
of any Class shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance
with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(d) At 12:00 a.m., New York City time, on (i) December 16, 2009 (or such later
date as may be agreed to by the Supermajority Lenders and the Company) or
(ii) if the Recapitalization Transaction shall have been consummated prior to
December 16, 2009 (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Supermajority
Lenders and the Company), on January 1, 2012 (or such later date as may be
agreed to by the Supermajority Lenders and the Company but in no event to be
later than the Maturity Date), the Revolving Commitments shall be automatically
and irrevocably reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the Aggregate Revolver
Reserve Amount.

SECTION 2.10. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) (i) Each Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Applicable Agent for the accounts of the
applicable Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Borrowing of such
Borrower and all other Obligations of such Borrower on the Maturity Date; and
(ii) the Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to each Swingline Lender
the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made by such Swingline
Lender on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such
Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is
at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made, provided that on
each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made under a Tranche, the applicable
Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding under such Tranche.
Each Borrower agrees to repay the principal amount of each Loan made to such
Borrower and the accrued interest thereon in the currency of such Loan. Each
Canadian Borrower agrees to make all payments required with respect to
Acceptances in accordance with Section 2.04.

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

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

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

 

60

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it to any Borrower be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the relevant Borrower shall
prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the
order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its
registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon
shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.04) be
represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of
the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to
such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.12. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Any Borrower shall have the right at any
time and from time to time, without premium or penalty (other than break funding
payments pursuant to Section 2.17), to prepay any Borrowing (other than an
Acceptance Borrowing) in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance
with paragraph (d) of this Section, in a minimum amount equal to (i) $1,000,000
or any integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof in the case of any ABR
Borrowing, Eurocurrency Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing denominated in US
Dollars, (ii) £500,000 or any integral multiple of £500,000 in excess thereof in
the case of any Eurocurrency Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing denominated in
Pounds Sterling, (iii) €1,000,000 or any integral multiple of €500,000 in excess
thereof in the case of any Eurocurrency Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing
denominated in Euro or (iv) C$1,000,000 or any integral multiple of C$500,000 in
excess thereof in the case of any Borrowing under the Canadian Tranche
denominated in Canadian Dollars. Any voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans
shall be made in the following order: first, to New Block Loans, if any, second,
to Existing Block Loans, if any, and third, to Revolving Loans outstanding which
are not New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans (in each case without a
corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments at such time
unless otherwise specified herein).

(b) In the event and on such occasion that (i) the sum of the US Tranche
Revolving Exposures exceeds the total US Tranche Revolving Commitments, (ii) the
sum of the Canadian Tranche Exposures exceeds the total Canadian Tranche
Commitments or (iii) the sum of the UK Tranche Exposures exceeds the total UK
Tranche Commitments, the Borrowers under the applicable Tranche shall prepay
Revolving Borrowings (other than Acceptance Borrowings) or Swingline Borrowings
(or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding in such Tranche, deposit cash
collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.06(j), in the case of the US Tranche, or deposit cash collateral in an
account with the Canadian Agent, in the case of the Canadian Tranche) in an
aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that if such excess arises
solely as a result of currency rate fluctuations and such excess under any
Tranche is not greater than 5% of the total Commitments under such Tranche, such
prepayment or deposit, as the case may be, shall not be required. The Applicable
Agent shall make the calculations described in this clause (b) on each
Computation Date.

(c) Prior to any optional prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the applicable
Borrower shall, subject to the terms of clause (a) above, select the Borrowing
or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of
such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section.

(d) The applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable
Borrower, shall notify the Applicable Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a
Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of any voluntary prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder (i) in the case
of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time,
three Business Days before the date of such prepayment, (ii) in the case of a
Canadian Base Rate

 

61

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

Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, one Business Day
before the date of such prepayment, and (iii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing or
a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date of such
prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to
be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in
connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as
contemplated by Section 2.09(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked
if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09(c).
Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Applicable Agent shall advise
the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any
Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an
advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each
prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the
prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to
the extent required by Section 2.14 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to
Section 2.17.

(e) On and after the Amendment No. 12 Effective Date, in the event and on each
occasion that any Net Cash Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Company
or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the
Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds, subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 2.12(f) (i) and (l),
as applicable, prepay the Obligations in the following order in an aggregate
amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds
(in each case, without a permanent commitment reduction unless expressly stated
below):

(i) first, prepay Permitted Interim Loans which are outstanding, if any,

(ii) second, prepay New Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit
issued in respect of the New Revolver Reserve Amount) which are outstanding, if
any,

(iii) third, prepay Existing Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of
Credit issued in respect of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount) which are
outstanding, if any (with a concurrent permanent reduction of the Existing
Revolver Reserve Amount, and the New Revolver Reserve Amount shall be increased
by the amount of such prepayment (or cash collateralization) at such time), and

(iv) fourth, prepay Revolving Loans which are not New Block Loans or Existing
Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit which were not issued in
respect of the New Revolver Reserve Amount or in respect of the Existing
Revolver Reserve Amount) which are outstanding, if any (with the amount of
Revolving Commitments available under such unblocked portion of the facility
being decreased and the New Revolver Reserve Amount being increased in like
amount).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Company Percentage of such Net Cash
Proceeds referred to in this clause (e) shall not be retained by the Company,
but shall instead be used to prepay (without a corresponding commitment
reduction) Revolving Loans which are not New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans
(or cash collateralize Letters of Credit which were not issued in respect of the
New Revolver Reserve Amount or in respect of the Existing Revolver Reserve
Amount) which are outstanding at such time.

(f) The Company shall prepay the Obligations on the date that is three
(3) Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company’s
annual audited financial statements for the immediately preceding fiscal year
are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 or (ii) the date on which such annual
audited financial statements were required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01, in an amount

 

62

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

equal to (x) 50% of the Company’s Excess Cash Flow for such immediately
preceding fiscal year, minus (y) any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans,
the Revolving Loans and/or Swing line Loans (but only to the extent that, in the
case of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans, such prepayments were
accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments)
(the “Cash Flow Repayment Amount”), with the first such prepayment pursuant to
this Section 2.12(f) required to be made by the Company in 2010 in respect of
the Company’s Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year of the Company ending
December 31, 2009. Any such prepayments of the Obligations required under this
Section 2.12(f) shall be in an amount equal to the Cash Flow Repayment Amount
and shall be applied in the following order:

(i) first, prepay Permitted Interim Loans which are outstanding, if any,

(ii) second, prepay New Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit
issued in respect of the New Revolver Reserve Amount) which are outstanding, if
any,

(iii) third, prepay Existing Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of
Credit issued in respect of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount) which are
outstanding, if any (with a concurrent permanent reduction of the Existing
Revolver Reserve Amount, and the New Revolver Reserve Amount shall be increased
by the amount of such prepayment (or cash collateralization) at such time), and

(iv) fourth, prepay Revolving Loans which are not New Block Loans or Existing
Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit which were not issued in
respect of the New Revolver Reserve Amount or in respect of the Existing
Revolver Reserve Amount) which are outstanding, if any (with the amount of
Revolving Commitments available under such unblocked portion of the facility
being decreased and the New Revolver Reserve Amount being increased in like
amount).

(g) To the extent any amounts are payable pursuant to Sections 2.12(f) or (i),
any such prepayments of such Loans (i) shall first prepay ABR Loans and then
prepay Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) shall include, unless interest is then being
deferred pursuant to Section 2.14(d), accrued and unpaid interest in respect of
such Loans (provided that Deferred Interest shall be payable only to the extent
required by Section 2.23).

(h) If (a) on the close of business on any Business Day on which any Permitted
Interim Loans shall be outstanding, Unrestricted Cash exceeds $100,000,000 (such
excess the “Daily Cash Permitted Interim Loan Excess Amount”) (and has also
exceeded $100,000,000 for the previous two (2) Business Days), then, on the next
succeeding Business Day, the Company shall make a prepayment of the outstanding
Revolving Loans (outstanding Permitted Interim Loans, if any, to be prepaid
first) in an amount equal to such Daily Cash Permitted Interim Loan Excess
Amount (without a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments
at such time), or (b) on the close of business on any Business Day on which
clause (h)(a) above shall not apply, Unrestricted Cash exceeds $125,000,000
(such excess the “Daily Cash Excess Amount”) (and has also exceeded $125,000,000
for the previous two (2) Business Days), then, on the next succeeding Business
Day, the Company shall make a prepayment of the outstanding Revolving Loans in
an amount equal to such Daily Cash Excess Amount. Any such prepayment of
Revolving Loans shall be made in the following order: first, to Permitted
Interim Loans, if any second, to New Block Loans, if any, third, to Existing
Block Loans, if any, and fourth, to Revolving Loans outstanding which are not
New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans (in each case without a corresponding
permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments at such time).

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

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.12,
upon the consummation of the Permitted Disposition, the Company shall make a
prepayment in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom first
to prepay the outstanding Existing Block Loans (outstanding Permitted Interim
Loans, if any, to be prepaid first), if any, and second to prepay Revolving
Loans which are not New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans (or cash
collateralize Letters of Credit which were not issued in respect of the New
Revolver Reserve Amount or in respect of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount)
which are outstanding, if any (with the amount of Revolving Commitments
available under such unblocked portion of the facility being decreased in like
amount), and the New Revolver Reserve Amount shall be increased by an amount
equal to such prepayments at such time.

(j) On the Amendment No. 7 Effective Date, the Company shall make a prepayment
of the outstanding Revolving Loans (without a corresponding permanent reduction
of the Revolving Commitments at such time) in an amount equal to (i) the
aggregate amount withdrawn from the Escrow Account on or after the Amendment
No. 7 Effective Date minus (ii) $3,571,405; provided that the entire amount of
such $3,571,405 must be used by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to make a
prepayment of the Specified Pension Fund Obligations on or before June 30, 2009
(such prepayment, the “Allowed Pension Fund Prepayment”).

(k) If, on the close of business on any Business Day, (i) the Interim Loan Sweep
Amount is positive (and has also been positive for the previous two (2) Business
Days) and (ii) any Permitted Interim Loans are outstanding, then on the next
succeeding Business Day, the Company shall make a prepayment of such Permitted
Interim Loans in an amount equal to such positive amount on such Business Day
(without a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments at
such time).

(l) If, on the close of business on any Business Day, Liquidity exceeds
$250,000,000 (such excess amount, the “Liquidity Excess Amount”):

(i) as a result of the receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Net
Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales and/or the existence of any Excess Cash Flow
amounts, in each case at such time, then, subject to the proviso below, the
Company shall make a prepayment of the Obligations in an amount equal to such
Liquidity Excess Amount for application by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19(f); or

(ii) other than as a result of the events described in the foregoing clause (i),
then, subject to the proviso below, (x) the Revolving Commitments shall be
permanently reduced (first reducing the New Revolver Reserve Amount and then the
Existing Revolver Reserve Amount) by an amount equal to such excess without any
repayment in cash by the Company (unless any such reduction of the Revolving
Commitments requires a concurrent repayment of Revolving Loans) and
(y) thereafter, if the New Revolver Reserve Amount and the Existing Revolver
Reserve Amount both equal $0, then the Company shall make a prepayment of the
Obligations in an amount equal to such Liquidity Excess Amount for application
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.19(f);

provided that the Liquidity Excess Amount shall be deemed to be comprised first
of amounts resulting from events described in clause (i) above (Excess Cash Flow
amounts and then Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales) and thereafter amounts
resulting from events described in clause (ii) above, and, to the extent that
the Liquidity Excess Amount shall exist as a result of both events described in
clause (i) above and clause (ii) above, then the Liquidity Excess Amount shall
be applied as follows:

(1) Excess Cash Flow Amounts shall be applied in accordance with clause
(i) above until no Liquidity Excess Amount remains;

 

64

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

(2) if any Liquidity Excess Amount remains, the Applicable Prepayment Percentage
of the Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales shall be applied in accordance with
clause (i) above until no Liquidity Excess Amount remains;

(3) if any Liquidity Excess Amount remains, the Company Prepayment Percentage of
the Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales shall be applied in accordance with
clause (ii) above until no Liquidity Excess Amount remains; and

(4) if any Liquidity Excess Amount remains, such remaining Liquidity Excess
Amount shall be reduced in accordance with clause (ii) above until no Liquidity
Excess Amount remains.

case, on the date on which the applicable Revolving Commitments terminate,
commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that
any commitment fees accruing after the date on which the applicable Revolving
Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All commitment fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual

65

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

account of each Canadian Tranche Lender or each UK Tranche Lender, respectively.
For purposes of computing the average daily amount of any LC Exposure for any
period under this Section 2.13(a), the average daily amount of the Alternative
Currency LC Exposure for such period shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the
average daily balance of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (expressed
in the currency in which such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is
denominated) by (ii) the Exchange Rate for each such Alternative Currency in
effect on the last Business Day of such period or by such other reasonable
method that the Administrative Agent deems appropriate.

(x) Subject to the succeeding clause (y), commitment fees accrued through and
including the last day of each calendar month shall be payable on each

(i) Commitment Fee Payment Date following the consummation of the
Recapitalization Transaction and the date that the Specified Pension Fund
Deferral Transaction Amendment shall be fully executed and effective
(A) occurring in 2009 or 2010 until the occurrence of any Deferral Termination
Event or a Deferral Suspension Event, the Company shall not be required to make
a cash payment of accrued commitment fees owing to such Deferring Lender on such
Commitment Fee Payment Date but such commitment fees shall instead be payable in
accordance with clause (y)(ii) below, and (B) occurring on or after January 1,
2011 and prior to the Deferred Payment Termination Date, the Company shall pay
to such Deferring Lender in cash in respect of any accrued and unpaid commitment
fees that become due on such Commitment Fee Payment Date, solely to the extent
that the Available Interest Payment Amount (determined as of the Business Day
immediately preceding the relevant Commitment Fee Payment Date giving pro forma
effect to the cash payment of all such commitment fees (and participation fees
pursuant to Section 2.13(b) and interest pursuant to Section 2.14(d)) due and
payable on such Commitment Fee Payment Date) exceeds $150,000,000, the full
amount of such accrued and unpaid commitment fees; and

(ii) Business Day on and after January 1, 2011, in respect of all other accrued
and unpaid commitment fees that have been deferred pursuant to the terms of this
Section 2.13(a)(y) prior to such date, the Company shall pay to such Deferring
Lender the lesser of (1) the Available Deferred Interest and Fee Amount
(determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant date) and
(2) the aggregate amount of such accrued and unpaid commitment fees that have

have no further right to defer any commitment fees hereunder (or any
participation fees under Section 2.13(b) or any interest under Section 2.14(d))
after such date unless the Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the
continuation of such deferral.

As of the date that any Deferral Suspension Event occurs, the Company shall have
no further right to defer any commitment fees hereunder (or any participation

66

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

Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the continuation of such deferral;
provided that all Deferred Commitment Fees (and all Deferred Participation Fees
and Deferred Interest) shall not become immediately due and payable on the date
that any Deferral Suspension Event occurs solely as the result of the occurrence
of a Deferral Suspension Event unless otherwise required herein.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a cash payment of the commitment fees
due hereunder to a Deferring Lender is not required under this Section 2.13(a),
such cash payment shall be deferred but shall in no event be (or be deemed to
be) forgiven, excused, reduced or waived, and all accrued and unpaid Deferred
Commitment Fees shall be due and payable in full in cash in accordance with
Section 2.23, and, upon the occurrence of the Deferred Payment Termination Date
no Deferring Lender shall be under any obligation under this Agreement to defer
the cash payment of any further commitment fees owing to such Lender on or after
the Deferred Payment Termination Date.

(b) The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of
Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the
interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily
amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable
to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC
Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee to be agreed upon by the
Company and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)

from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to
be any LC Exposure, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to
the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
processing of drawings thereunder.

(x) Subject to the succeeding clause (y), participation fees and fronting fees
accrued through and including the last day of each calendar month shall be

Transaction, the last day of each March, June, September and December and
(ii) on and after the date of the consummation of the Recapitalization
Transaction, the last day of each month (each such date, a “LC Fee Payment
Date”); provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the
Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on
which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.

(y) Solely with respect to a Deferring Lender, on any:

(i) LC Fee Payment Date following the consummation of the Recapitalization
Transaction and the date that the Specified Pension Fund Deferral Transaction
Amendment shall be fully executed and effective (A) occurring in 2009 or 2010
until the occurrence of any Deferral Termination Event or a Deferral Suspension
Event, the Company shall not be required to make a cash payment of accrued
participation fees owing to such Deferring Lender on such LC Fee Payment Date
(but shall pay any accrued and unpaid fronting fees owing to the applicable
Issuing Bank) but such participation fees shall instead be payable in accordance
with clause (y)(ii) below, and (B) occurring on or after January 1, 2011 and
prior to the Deferred Payment Termination Date, the Company shall pay to such
Deferring Lender in cash in respect of any accrued and unpaid participation fees
that become due on such LC Fee Payment Date, solely

 

67

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

to the extent that the Available Interest Payment Amount (determined as of the
Business Day immediately preceding the relevant LC Fee Payment Date giving pro
forma effect to the cash payment of all such participation fees (and commitment
fees pursuant to Section 2.13(b) and interest pursuant to Section 2.14(d)) due
and payable on such LC Fee Payment Date) exceeds $150,000,000, the full amount
of such accrued and unpaid participation fees; and

(ii) Business Day on and after January 1, 2011, in respect of all other accrued
and unpaid participation fees that have been deferred pursuant to the terms of
this Section 2.13(b)(y) prior to such date, the Company shall pay to such
Deferring Lender the lesser of (1) the Available Deferred Interest and Fee
Amount (determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant
date) and (2) the aggregate amount of such accrued and unpaid participation fees
that have been deferred pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.13(b)(y) prior
to such date. Such Available Deferred Interest and Fee Amount shall be applied
ratably to the accrued and unpaid participation fees, accrued and unpaid
commitment fees and accrued and unpaid interest, in each case deferred prior to
such date in accordance with this Section 2.13(b)(y), Section 2.13(a)(y) and
Section 2.14(d).

As of the date that any Deferral Termination Event occurs, the Company shall
have no further right to defer any participation fees hereunder (or any
commitment fees under Section 2.13(a) or any interest under Section 2.14(d))
after such date unless the Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the
continuation of such deferral.

As of the date that any Deferral Suspension Event occurs, the Company shall have
no further right to defer any participation fees hereunder (or any commitment
fees under Section 2.13(a) or any interest under Section 2.14(d)) after such
date unless the Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the continuation of
such deferral; provided that all Deferred Participation Fees (and all Deferred
Commitment Fees and Deferred Interest) shall not become immediately due and
payable on the date that any Deferral Suspension Event occurs solely as the
result of the occurrence of a Deferral Suspension Event unless otherwise
required herein.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a cash payment of the participation
fees due hereunder to a Deferring Lender is not required under this
Section 2.13(b), such cash payment shall be deferred but shall in no event be
(or be deemed to be) forgiven, excused, reduced or waived, and all accrued and
unpaid Deferred Participation Fees shall be due and payable in full in cash in
accordance with Section 2.23, and, upon the occurrence of the Deferred Payment
Termination Date no Deferring Lender shall be under any obligation under this
Agreement to defer the cash payment of any further participation fees owing to
such Lender on or after the Deferred Payment Termination Date.

Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be
payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day). For purposes of computing the average daily amount of any LC Exposure
for any period under this Section 2.13(b), the average daily amount of the
Alternative Currency LC Exposure for such period shall be calculated as set
forth in paragraph (a) above.

 

68

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

(c) Each Canadian Borrower shall pay to each Canadian Tranche Lender a Stamping
Fee on the date of the relevant Borrowing with respect to each Draft issued by
such Canadian Borrower and accepted by such Canadian Tranche Lender calculated

Stamping Fee and CDOR BA Rate payable on or in respect of Acceptances is
expressed on the basis of a 365 day year.

(d) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account,
fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the
Company and the Administrative Agent. The Company and the Canadian Borrowers

fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the
Company and the Canadian Agent. The Company and the UK Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to pay to the UK Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the
amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and the UK
Agent.

(e) The Company shall, on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2011 (or such later
date as may be agreed to by the Supermajority Lenders and the Company but in no
event to be later than the Maturity Date) and (ii) the date of the occurrence of
any Deferral Termination Event and in accordance with Section 2.23, pay to the

No. 12 Fee. The Amendment No. 12 Fee shall be fully earned as of the Amendment
No. 12 Effective Date.

(f) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Applicable Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in
the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees
and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under
any circumstances.

SECTION 2.14. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (other than
each US Tranche Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate. The Loans comprising each Canadian Base Rate Borrowing
(including each Canadian Tranche Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the
Canadian Base Rate. US Tranche Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the US Swingline Rate. UK Tranche Swingline Loans shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the UK Swingline Rate plus the Applicable
Rate for Eurocurrency Revolving Loans plus the Mandatory Cost.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing by the Company under the US

Applicable Rate plus the Mandatory Cost.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default
described in clause (a) or (b) of Article VII the Required Lenders may, at their
option, by notice to the Company (which notice may be revoked at the option of
the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 11.02(b) requiring
unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that
(i) each Borrowing shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable thereto
plus 2% per annum, and (ii) the Letter of Credit participation fee provided for
in Section 2.13(b) shall be increased by 2% per annum, provided that, during the

applicable to all Borrowings and Letters of Credit without any election or
action on the part of any Agent or any Lender.

 

69

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

(d) (x) Subject to the succeeding clause (y), accrued interest on each Loan
shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon
termination of the applicable Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest
accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.14 shall be payable on
demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than
a prepayment of an ABR Loan or a Canadian Base Rate Loan prior to the end of the

(y) Solely with respect to a Deferring Lender, on any:

(i) Interest Payment Date following the consummation of the Recapitalization
Transaction and the date that the Specified Pension Fund Deferral Transaction
Amendment shall be fully executed and effective (A) occurring in 2009 or 2010
until the occurrence of any Deferral Termination Event or a Deferral Suspension
Event, the Company shall not be required to make a cash payment of accrued
interest owing to such Deferring Lender on such Interest Payment Date but such
interest shall instead be payable in accordance with clause (y)(ii) below, and
(B) occurring on or after January 1, 2011 and prior to the Deferred Payment
Termination Date, the Company shall pay to such Deferring Lender in cash in
respect of any accrued and unpaid interest that becomes due on such Interest
Payment Date, so long as the Available Interest Payment Amount (determined as of
the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date giving
pro forma effect to the cash payment of all such interest (and commitment fees
pursuant to Section 2.13(a) participation fees pursuant to Section 2.13(b)) due
and payable on such Interest Payment Date) exceeds $150,000,000, the full amount
of such accrued and unpaid interest; and

(ii) Business Day on and after January 1, 2011, in respect of all other accrued
and unpaid interest that has been deferred pursuant to the terms of this
Section 2.14(d)(y) prior to such date, the Company shall pay to such Deferring
Lender the lesser of (1) the Available Deferred Interest and Fee Amount
(determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant date) and
(2) the aggregate amount of such accrued and unpaid interest that has been
deferred pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14(d)(y) prior to such date.
Such Available Deferred Interest and Fee Amount shall be applied ratably to the
accrued and unpaid interest, accrued and unpaid commitment fees and accrued and
unpaid participation fees, in each case deferred prior to such date in
accordance with this Section 2.14(d)(y), Section 2.13(a) and Section 2.13(b).

As of the date that any Deferral Termination Event occurs, the Company shall
have no further right to defer any interest hereunder (or any commitment fees
under Section 2.13(a) or any participation fees under Section 2.13(b)) after
such date unless the Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the continuation
of such deferral.

As of the date that any Deferral Suspension Event occurs, the Company shall have
no further right to defer any interest hereunder (or any commitment fees under
Section 2.13(a) or any participation fees under Section 2.13(b)) after such date
unless the Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the continuation of such
deferral; provided that all Deferred Interest (and all Deferred Commitment Fees
and Deferred Participation Fees) shall not become immediately due and payable on
the date that any Deferral Suspension Event occurs solely as the result of the
occurrence of a Deferral Suspension Event unless otherwise required herein.

 

70

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

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a cash payment of the interest due
hereunder to a Deferring Lender is not required under this Section 2.14(d), such
cash payment shall be deferred but shall in no event be (or be deemed to be)
forgiven, excused, reduced or waived, and all accrued and unpaid Deferred
Interest shall be due and payable in full in cash in accordance with
Section 2.23, and, upon the occurrence of the Deferred Payment Termination Date
no Deferring Lender shall be under any obligation under this Agreement to defer
the cash payment of any further interest owing to such Lender on or after the
Deferred Payment Termination Date.

(e) Subject to Section 2.14(f), all interest hereunder shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the
Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime
Rate, by reference to the Canadian Base Rate or by reference to the LIBO Rate
when the applicable Eurocurrency Borrowing is denominated in Pounds Sterling
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap
year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate
Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be
determined by the Applicable Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

(f) If and to the extent that the laws of Canada are applicable to interest,
fees or other amounts payable under this Agreement for the purpose of the
Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which interest or any fee
calculated on the basis of a 360- or 365-day year is equivalent is the rate of
interest or fee as determined herein multiplied by the actual number of days in
such year divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be.

(g) The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any
interest calculation under this Agreement. The rates of interest stipulated in
this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or
yields.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if and to the extent
that the laws of Canada are applicable to interest payable under this Agreement,
no interest on the credit advanced will be payable in excess of that permitted
by the laws of Canada. If the effective annual rate of interest, calculated in
accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles, would
exceed 60% per annum (or such other rate as the Parliament of Canada may
determine from time to time as the criminal rate) on the credit advanced under
this Agreement, then (a) the amount of any charges for the use of money,
expenses, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith will be reduced
to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess, (b) any remaining excess that
has been paid will be credited towards repayment of the principal amount and
(c) any overpayment that may remain after such crediting will be returned
forthwith on demand to the applicable Borrower. In this provision, the terms
“interest”, “criminal rate” and “credit advanced” have the meanings ascribed to
them in Section 347 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

SECTION 2.15. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing in any currency:

(a) the Applicable Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period; or

(b) the Applicable Agent is advised by a majority in interest of the Lenders
that would participate in such Borrowing that the LIBO Rate for such Interest
Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making
or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

 

71

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

then the Applicable Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower
and the applicable Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Applicable Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and
the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no
longer exist (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of
any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing
in such currency shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall be converted to
or continued on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if
such Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing by the Company under the US Tranche
or the Canadian Tranche, as an ABR Borrowing or (B) if such Borrowing is a
Eurocurrency Borrowing by the Company or a UK Borrower under the UK Tranche, as
a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the UK Agent shall determine, after
consultation with the UK Tranche Lenders, adequately reflects the costs to the
UK Tranche Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans, and (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing in such currency,
unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Applicable Agent in writing prior to
the date on which such Borrowing is requested to be made that it wishes to
revoke such Borrowing Request, (A) if such Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing
by the Company under the US Tranche or the Canadian Tranche, such Borrowing
shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, and (B) if such Borrowing is a Eurocurrency
Borrowing by the Company or a UK Borrower under the UK Tranche, such Borrowing
shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the UK Agent shall
determine adequately reflects the costs to the UK Tranche Lenders of making or
maintaining their Loans plus the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Revolving
Loans plus the Mandatory Cost.

SECTION 2.16. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank markets any
other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or
Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing
Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.

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

 

72

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Company shall pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay such
Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to
this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days
prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies
the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default),
(b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan to a Loan of a different Type or
Interest Period other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan or to
pay any amount owing in respect of any Acceptance on the date specified in any
notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be
revoked under Section 2.12(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or
(d) the assignment or deemed assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request
by the Company pursuant to Section 2.20 or the CAM Exchange, then, in any such
event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost
and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such
loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount
determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such
event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such
Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then
current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate such Lender would bid were it to
bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency
of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank
market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that
such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, and setting forth
in reasonable detail the calculations used by such Lender to determine such
amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.

 

73

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

SECTION 2.18. Taxes. Subject to Section 2.18A (which shall be deemed to be a
part of Section 2.18 for purposes of cross references to Section 2.18 in this
Agreement) below in respect of any UK Borrower:

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Borrower
hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Borrower shall be
required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) the Applicable Agent or the applicable Lender or Issuing
Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes related to such
Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law.

(c) The relevant Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each
Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Agent, such Lender or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on
account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other 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 Company by a Lender or Issuing Bank, or by an Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

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

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower under a
Tranche in which such Lender participates is located, or any treaty to which
such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement
shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the
time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such
Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding tax.
In addition, each such Lender agrees that it will deliver upon a Borrower’s
request updated versions of the foregoing documents whenever they have become
obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, together with such other forms
or documents as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement
of such Lender to continued exemption from or reduction of withholding tax;
provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to provide any documents or
forms which it cannot deliver under applicable law.

(f) Each Lender, on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder, will designate
lending offices for the Loans to be made by it (a “Facility Office”) such that,
on such date, it will not be liable for (i) in the case of a US Tranche Lender,
any withholding tax that is imposed by the United States of America (or any
political subdivision thereof) on payments by the Company from an office within
such jurisdiction, (ii) in the case of a Canadian Tranche Lender, any
withholding tax that is imposed (A) by Canada (or any political subdivision
thereof) on payments by a Canadian Borrower from an office within such
jurisdiction or (B) by the United States of America (or any political
subdivision thereof) on payments by the Company from an office within such
jurisdiction, or (iii) in the case of a UK Tranche

 

74

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

Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed (A) by the United Kingdom (or any
political subdivision thereof) on payments by a UK Borrower from an office
within such jurisdiction or (B) by the United States of America (or any
political subdivision thereof) on payments by the Company from an office within
such jurisdiction. If any Lender does not comply with this Section 2.18(e) or
(f), the relevant Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify such Lender, or
any relevant Agent or Issuing Bank for the account of such Lender, under this
Section 2.18, provided, however, that such Borrower shall not be relieved of the
foregoing indemnity obligation if the Company or the applicable Borrower shall
fail to comply with the requirements of Section 2.21(a)(ii).

(g) In cases in which a Borrower makes a payment under this Agreement to a U.S.
person with knowledge that such U.S. person is acting as an agent for a foreign
person, such Borrower will not treat such payment as being made to a U.S. person
for purposes of Treas. Reg. § 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) (or a successor provision)
without the express written consent of such U.S. person.

(h) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over such refund
to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect
to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund, and only to the extent that the amount of such
refund is both reasonably identifiable and quantifiable by such Lender without
imposing on such Lender an unacceptable administrative burden); provided, that
such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or
such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to
its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

formalities necessary for that UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that
payment without a Tax Deduction.

PTR Scheme;

(iii) without limiting the liability of the Company or any UK Borrower under
this Agreement, shall, within 5 Business Days of demand, indemnify the UK Agent
for any liability or loss incurred by the UK Agent as a result of the UK Agent
acting as syndicate manager under the PTR Scheme in connection with the Treaty
Lender’s participation in any Loan (except to the extent that the liability or
loss arises from the UK Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct); and

(iv) shall, within 5 Business Days of demand, indemnify the Company and each UK
Borrower for any UK Tax which they become liable to pay in respect of any
payments made to such Treaty Lender arising as a result of any incorrect

obligations under the PTR Scheme and shall:

(i) promptly supply to the UK Agent such information as the UK Agent may request
in connection with the operation of the PTR Scheme; and

(ii) act in accordance with any provisional notice issued by HM Revenue &
Customs under the PTR Scheme.

(C) The UK Agent agrees to provide, as soon as reasonably practicable, a copy of

any UK Borrower providing such information; and

(iii) shall have no liability to any person for the accuracy of any information
it submits in connection with sub-paragraph (j)(A)(i) above, except to the
extent that the liability or loss arises from the UK Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

(E) In this Section “PTR Scheme” means the Provisional Treaty Relief scheme as

which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or
indirectly) suffered for or on account of UK Tax by that Protected Party in
respect of a Loan Document.

(l) Paragraph (k) above shall not apply with respect to any UK Tax assessed on a
UK Tranche Lender or UK Tranche Swingline Lender (i) under the law of the
jurisdiction in which that UK Tranche Lender or UK Tranche Swingline Lender is
incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that
UK Tranche Lender or UK Tranche Swingline Lender is treated as resident for tax
purposes; or (ii) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that UK Tranche
Lender’s or UK Tranche Swingline Lender’s Facility Office designated in
accordance with Section 2.18(f) is located in respect of amounts received or
receivable in that jurisdiction, if that UK Tax is imposed on or calculated by
reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be
received or receivable) by that UK Tranche Lender or UK Tranche Swingline
Lender.

(n) A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph
(j) above shall promptly notify the UK Agent of the event which will give, or
has given, rise to the claim, following which the UK Agent shall notify the
relevant UK Borrower.

(o) A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from a UK Borrower under
paragraph (k), notify the UK Agent.

(p) If a UK Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant UK Tranche Lender or
UK Tranche Swingline Lender determines that (i) a Tax Credit is attributable to
that Tax Payment; and (ii) that UK Tranche Lender or UK Tranche Swingline Lender
has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit, the relevant UK Tranche
Lender or UK Tranche Swingline Lender shall pay an amount to the UK Borrower
which that UK Tranche Lender or UK Tranche Swingline Lender determines will
leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have
been in had the Tax Payment not been made by the UK Borrower.

SECTION 2.19. Payments Generally; Allocations of Proceeds; Pro Rata Treatment;
Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be
made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal,
interest, fees or reimbursement of Acceptances or

 

79

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

LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or
otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other
Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior
to 12:00 noon, Local Time), on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on
any date may, in the discretion of the Applicable Agent, be deemed to have been
received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Applicable Agent to the
applicable account specified in Schedule 2.19 or, in any such case, to such
other account as the Applicable Agent shall from time to time specify in a
notice delivered to the Company, except payments to be made directly to an
Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that
payments pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 11.03 shall be made directly
to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to the other Loan
Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Applicable Agent
shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other
Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any
payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is
not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
under any Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or LC
Disbursement shall be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all
payments made in respect of Acceptances shall be made in Canadian Dollars; and
all other payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in
US Dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided. Any payment required to be
made by an Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time
required if such Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary
steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating
procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by such Agent to make such
payment.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans, participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans or amounts
owing on Acceptances accepted by such Lender resulting in such Lender receiving
payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans,
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans or Acceptances, as the
case may be, and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any
other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Loans, participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans and Acceptances of other Lenders to the extent
necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Loans, and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans and Acceptances; provided that (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, participations in
LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans or Acceptances to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under

 

80

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

applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from the relevant
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due for the account of all or
certain of the Lenders or Issuing Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not
make such payment, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case
may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made
such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case
may be, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand
the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but
excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent, at a rate determined by
the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry practices on interbank
compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it to
any Agent pursuant to this Agreement, then the Agents may, in their discretion

Obligations and Swap Obligations, and fourteenth, to the payment of any other
Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by any
Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
unless so directed by the Company, or unless an Event of Default is in
existence, none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall apply any
payment which it receives to any Eurocurrency Loan of a Class, except (a) on the
expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurocurrency Loan
or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR
Loans of the same Class and, in any event, the Borrowers shall pay the break
funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.17. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and
reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the
Secured Obligations.

SECTION 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower is required to pay
any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.18, as the case may be, in the future and
(ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with
any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, or if any
Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Company may,
at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 11.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the
Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent (and if a US Tranche Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing
Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its
Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and
Acceptances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all
other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.21. Termination of Subsidiary Borrowers. No Borrowing Subsidiary
Termination will become effective as to any Canadian Borrower or UK Borrower at
a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Canadian Borrower
or UK Borrower, as applicable, shall be outstanding hereunder or such Canadian
Borrower shall have any obligation with respect to any outstanding Acceptance,
provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to
terminate the right of such Canadian Borrower or UK Borrower, as applicable, to
make further Borrowings under this Agreement. If at any time any Canadian
Borrower or UK Borrower ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, then the
Company shall immediately deliver a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with
respect to such Borrower, and such Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower
hereunder

 

82

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

thereafter, and, such Borrower (or the Company, on behalf of such Borrower)
shall repay all outstanding principal and interest on any Loan and all fees and
other amounts owing by it under this Agreement concurrently with the delivery of
such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination.

SECTION 2.22. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the
following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting
Lender:

(a) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day following
notice by the Administrative Agent (i) prepay such Swingline Exposure or, if
agreed by the Swingline Lender, cash collateralize the Swingline Exposure of the
Defaulting Lender on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender and
(ii) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is
outstanding; and

(b) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no
Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit
unless it is reasonably satisfied that cash collateral will be provided by the
Company in accordance with Section 2.22(a).

SECTION 2.23. Payment of Deferred Amounts. Upon the occurrence of a Deferral
Termination Event, all Deferred Amounts shall be due and payable at the
direction of the Required Lenders (or in the case of any Deferral Termination
Event occurring by virtue of an Event of Default occurring under either clause
(h) or clause (i) of Article VII immediately upon the occurrence of such
Deferral Termination Event). For the avoidance of doubt, all Deferred Amounts,
to the extent not previously due and payable pursuant to the terms of the
immediately preceding sentence, shall be due and payable on December 31, 2011
(or such later date as may be agreed to by the Supermajority Lenders and the
Company but in no event to be later than the Maturity Date).

Volvo Lease and/or the BofA Lease, as applicable, is waived in accordance with
the terms thereof;

(q) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, on or after February 10, 2009,
pay an aggregate amount to satisfy obligations under the RBS Lease, the Volvo
Lease and/or the BofA Lease, as applicable, by repayment of obligations due to a
default or event of default thereunder or any acceleration thereof, and
inclusive of any fee or other amount paid in connection with any of the
foregoing, to any lessors or other creditors who have exercised (or threatened
to exercise) remedies, under either such lease (exclusive of any scheduled lease
payments thereunder), as applicable (such aggregate amount paid on or after
February 10, 2009, the “Permitted Lease Waiver Amount”), in excess of
$5,000,000;

(r) any amortization event or other similar repayment event under the Yellow
Receivables Facility which is triggered by a “Servicer Default” under (and as
defined in) the Yellow Receivables Facility; provided that any Event of Default
arising under this clause (q) shall be deemed automatically waived if and to the
extent that such “Servicer Default” under the Yellow Receivables Facility is
waived in accordance with the terms thereof;

(s) the Company shall pay an aggregate amount in excess of $1,000,000 (or such
greater amount as may be consented to by the Supermajority Lenders) to any
holders of the 3.375% Contingent Convertible Senior Notes and/or the 5%
Contingent Convertible Senior Notes in respect of any cash settlement (including
in respect of any fractional shares) in connection with the conversion of the
3.375% Contingent Convertible Notes and/or the 5% Contingent Convertible Notes
into Equity Interests of the Company and/or cash, in each case in accordance
with the terms of the applicable indenture which governs the applicable notes;
or

(t) any event or condition occurs under any Specified Pension Fund Deferral
Transaction that enables or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the
lapse of time or both) the holder or holders of such obligations or any trustee
or agent on its or their behalf to cause the obligations under such Specified
Pension Fund Deferral Transaction to become due, or to require the prepayment,
repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity
(in each case after giving effect to any cure or grace period, amendment or
waiver);

then, and in every such Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with
respect to the Company described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article), and at
any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by
notice to the Company, take either or both of the following actions, at the same
or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments
shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be
due and payable, and require prepayment of the face amount of any outstanding
Acceptances, in whole (or in part, in which case any such principal or face
amount not so declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid may
thereafter be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid), and
thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable and the
face amount of outstanding Acceptances required to be prepaid, together with
accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Secured Obligations accrued
hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by
the Borrowers; and in case of any Event of Default with respect to the Company
described in

 

116

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

clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate
and the principal of the Loans then outstanding and the face amount of all
outstanding Acceptances, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and
other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall automatically become
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and
at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies
provided to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or
equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC.

ARTICLE VIII

The Agents

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan
Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Canadian Lenders hereby irrevocably
appoints the Canadian Agent as its agent and authorizes the Canadian Agent to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to
the Canadian Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the UK Lenders hereby irrevocably
appoints the UK Agent as its agent and authorizes the UK Agent to take such
actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the UK
Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.

Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in
its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not such Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the
Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent
hereunder.

The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent
shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in
writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage
of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 11.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no
Agent shall have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as such Agent or any of
its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 11.02) or in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of
any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by a
Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity,
enforceability,

 

117

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

effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the
Collateral or the existence of the Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than
to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made
to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

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

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in
this paragraph, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Banks (in the case of the Administrative Agent) and the Company. Upon
any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation
with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (in the
case of a successor Administrative Agent) and in consultation with the Company,
appoint a successor Agent, which, in the case of the Administrative Agent shall
be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such
bank; in the case of the Canadian Agent, shall be a bank with an office in
Toronto, Canada, or an Affiliate of any such bank; and in the case of the UK
Agent, shall be a bank with an office in London, England, or an Affiliate of any
such bank. The appointment of a successor Canadian Agent or UK Agent shall be
subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent
hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.
The fees payable by any Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between such Borrower and
such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting
as an Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent, any Arranger, any Bookrunner, any Syndication Agent, any
Documentation Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger, any
Bookrunner, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

118

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

None of the Arrangers, the Bookrunners or any Syndication Agent or Documentation
Agent, if any, identified as such in this Agreement, shall have any right,
power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement,
except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent, Canadian Agent,
UK Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing,
none of the Arrangers, the Bookrunners or the Syndication Agents or
Documentation Agents, if any, shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary
relationship with any Lender.

Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender, in
accordance with Section 11.08, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance
with this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor
institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower or with respect to
any Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or,
as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, with the
consent of the Administrative Agent.

The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for
the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of
the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The
Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to
enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date
such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Holders
of Secured Obligations within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined
in the UCC. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each
of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action
contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Holder of Secured
Obligations (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right
individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral
Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be
exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of
Secured Obligations upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In the event
that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security
for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and
hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the
Holders of Secured Obligations any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to
grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of or for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations. The
Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
upon any Collateral (i) as described in Section 11.15(b), (ii) as permitted by,
but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or
(iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders,
unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm
in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or
items of Collateral pursuant hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets
constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan
Document, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the
Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written
request by the Company to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such
documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations
herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred;
provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion,
would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or
entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or
warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or
impair the Secured

 

119

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

Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary
in respect of) all interests retained by the Company or any Subsidiary,
including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall
continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

Each Borrower, on its behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, and each Lender,
on its behalf and on the behalf of its affiliated Holders of Secured
Obligations, hereby irrevocably constitute the Administrative Agent as the
holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within the meaning
of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold hypothecs and
security granted by each Borrower or any Subsidiary on property pursuant to the
laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of any Borrower or any
Subsidiary under any bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness issued by
any Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement, and agree that
the Administrative Agent may act as the bondholder and mandatary with respect to
any bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness that may be issued by any
Borrower or any Subsidiary and pledged in favor of the Holders of Secured
Obligations in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 32 of the An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons
(Quebec), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent may acquire and be
the holder of any bond issued by any Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection
with this Agreement (i.e., the fondé de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first
bond issued under any deed of hypothec by any Borrower or any Subsidiary).

The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any
documents necessary or appropriate to create and perfect the rights of pledge
for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations including a right of
pledge with respect to the entitlements to profits, the balance left after
winding up and the voting rights of the Company as ultimate parent of any
subsidiary of the Company which is organized under the laws of the Netherlands
and the Equity Interests of which are pledged in connection herewith (a “Dutch
Pledge”). Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree with the creation of
parallel debt obligations of the Company or any relevant Subsidiary as will be
described in any Dutch Pledge (the “Parallel Debt”), including that any payment
received by the Administrative Agent in respect of the Parallel Debt will
conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or reduced by
virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
preference, liquidation or similar laws of general application be deemed a
satisfaction of a pro rata portion of the corresponding amounts of the Secured
Obligations, and any payment to the Holders of Secured Obligations in
satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall conditionally upon such payment
not subsequently being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or
enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, liquidation or
similar laws of general application be deemed as satisfaction of the
corresponding amount of the Parallel Debt. The parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that, for purposes of a Dutch Pledge, any resignation by the
Administrative Agent is not effective until its rights under the Parallel Debt
are assigned to the successor Administrative Agent.

Each Lender, on its behalf and on the behalf of its affiliated Holders of
Secured Obligations, hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, in connection
with the Company’s request for withdrawal of funds from the Escrow Account, to
give written notice to the Escrow Agent under (and as defined in) the Escrow
Account Agreement that the Escrow Release Conditions have been satisfied
pursuant to the terms hereof and that such applicable funds on deposit in the
Escrow Account may be released to the Company. The Administrative Agent agrees
to deliver the notice described in the previous sentence upon the satisfaction
of the Escrow Release Conditions pursuant to the terms hereof.

ARTICLE IX

Collection Allocation Mechanism

SECTION 9.01. Implementation of CAM. (a) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) the
Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated as
provided in Article VII, (ii) each US Tranche Lender shall immediately be deemed
to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the Administrative
Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(c)) participations in the Swingline Loans
under the US Tranche in an amount equal to such Lender’s US Tranche Percentage
of each such Swingline Loan outstanding on such date, (iii) each UK Tranche
Lender shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make
payment therefor to the applicable Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(c))
participations in the Swingline Loans under the UK Tranche in an amount equal to
such Lender’s UK Tranche Percentage of each such Swingline Loan outstanding on
such date, (iv) each Canadian Tranche Lender shall immediately be deemed to have
acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the Administrative Agent
in accordance with Section 2.05(c)) participations in the Swingline Loans under
the Canadian Tranche in an amount equal to such Lender’s Canadian Tranche
Percentage of each such Swingline Loan outstanding on such date,
(v) simultaneously with the automatic conversions pursuant to clause (vi) below,
the Lenders shall automatically and without further act (and without regard to
the provisions of Section 11.04) be deemed to have exchanged interests in the
Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) and Acceptances and participations in
Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit, such that in lieu of the interest of each
Lender in each Loan, Acceptance and Letter of Credit in which it shall
participate as of such date (including such Lender’s interest in the Obligations
of each Borrower in respect of each such Loan, Acceptance and Letter of Credit),
such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Loans (other than the
Swingline Loans) and Acceptances and a participation in every one of the
Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit (including the Obligations of each
Borrower in respect of each such Loan and each Reserve Account established
pursuant to Section 9.02 below), whether or not such Lender shall previously
have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof,
(vi) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause
(v) above, the interests in the Loans to be received in such deemed exchange
shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the
US Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of such
date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to
the Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in US
Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder and (vii) immediately upon
the date of expiration of the Contract Period in respect thereof, the interests
in each Acceptance received in the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to
clause (v) above shall, automatically and with no further action required, be
converted into the US Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate
calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all
amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall
accrue and be payable in US Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder.
It is understood and agreed that Lenders holding interests in Acceptances on the
CAM Exchange Date shall discharge the obligations to fund such Acceptances at
maturity in exchange for the interests acquired by such Lenders in funded Loans
in the CAM Exchange. Each Lender and each Borrower hereby consents and agrees to
the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding
upon its successors and assigns and any person that acquires a participation in
its interests in any Loan or Acceptance or any participation in any Swingline
Loan or Letter of Credit. Each Borrower and each Lender agrees from time to time
to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and
other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the
Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to
surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its
Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory
notes evidencing its interests in the Loans and Acceptances so executed and
delivered; provided, however, that the failure of any Borrower to execute or
deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or
document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

 

121

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

(b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each
payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in
respect of the Obligations, and each distribution made by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations, shall be
distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM
Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender on or after the CAM
Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in respect of an Obligation shall be
paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in
accordance herewith.

SECTION 9.02. Letters of Credit. (a) In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date
any Letter of Credit under a Tranche shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole
or in part, or any L/C Disbursement shall not have been reimbursed by the
Company or with the proceeds of a Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing,
each Lender under such Tranche shall promptly pay over to the Administrative
Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in US Dollars equal to such
Lender’s Tranche Percentage of such undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has
not already done so) such unreimbursed drawing, as applicable, together with
interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount
shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable
at the time to an ABR Revolving Loan in a principal amount equal to such undrawn
face amount or unreimbursed drawing, as applicable. The Administrative Agent
shall establish a separate account (each, a “Reserve Account”) or accounts for
each Lender for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit
pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall deposit in
each Lender’s Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts
received from the Lenders as provided above. For the purposes of this paragraph,
the US Dollar Equivalent of each Lender’s participation in each Letter of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be the amount in US Dollars
determined by the Administrative Agent to be required in order for the
Administrative Agent to purchase currency in the applicable Alternative Currency
in an amount sufficient to enable it to deposit the actual amount of such
participation in such undrawn Letter of Credit in the applicable Alternative
Currency in such Lender’s Reserve Account. The Administrative Agent shall have
sole dominion and control over each Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited
in each Reserve Account shall be held in such Reserve Account until withdrawn as
provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall
maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and
deposited in the Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the
amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each
Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s Reserve Account shall
be held as a reserve against the LC Exposures, shall be the property of such
Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against
any Borrower and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of any
Borrower to pay interest to such Lender, it being agreed that the reimbursement
obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as
drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.06.

(b) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in
respect of a Letter of Credit under a Tranche, the Administrative Agent shall,
at the request of the applicable Issuing Bank, withdraw from the Reserve Account
of each Lender under such Tranche any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s
CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment, deposited in respect of such Letter
of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to such Issuing Bank
in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under such
Tranche under Section 2.06(d) (but not of the Company under Section 2.06(e)). In
the event that any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount
to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 9.02, the applicable
Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if
such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.06(d), but shall
have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such

 

122

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

defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the Company’s
reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 9.01. Each other Lender shall have
a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a
result of such default, including, in the event that such Letter of Credit shall
expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount.

(c) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall
expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the Reserve Account
of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter
of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.

(d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be
unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw the amount held in its Reserve
Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender
making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there
shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to the
Administrative Agent, in the currency in which such drawing is denominated, for
the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand, its CAM Percentage of
such drawing or payment.

(e) Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its Reserve Account
as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the
direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent
may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in
customary, highly-rated, short-term investments reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent. Each Lender that has not withdrawn its amounts in its
Reserve Account as provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at
intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the
earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in its
Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

ARTICLE X

Guarantee

In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the other Borrowers
hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a
primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the
Obligations of such other Borrowers. The Company further agrees that the due and
punctual payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in
part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound
upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of
any such Obligation.

The Company waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any
Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its
obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company
hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Agent, Issuing Bank or
Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against
any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any
rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the
terms or provisions of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or agreement;
(d) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of
any of the Obligations; or (e) any other act, omission or delay to do any other
act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the
Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of a guarantor as a matter of law or
equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to
subrogation.

 

123

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

The Company further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee
of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall
have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a
discharge thereof) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that
any resort be had by any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender to any balance of any
deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender in
favor of any Borrower or any other Person.

The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject
to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever,
by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the
Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or
otherwise (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the
Obligations).

The Company further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by
any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any
Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which
any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender may have at law or in equity against the
Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any other Borrower to pay any
Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby
promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by any Agent, Issuing Bank
or Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Agent, Issuing
Bank or Lender in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such
Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The
Company further agrees that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due
in a currency other than US Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than
New York and if, by reason of any Change in Law, disruption of currency or
foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, payment of
such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible
or, in the reasonable judgment of any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender,
disadvantageous to such Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender in any material respect,
then, at the election of the Administrative Agent, the Company shall make
payment of such Obligation in US Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange
Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and, as a separate
and independent obligation, shall indemnify each Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender
against any losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as
a result of such alternative payment.

Upon payment by the Company of any sums as provided above, all rights of the
Company against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of
subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in
right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the
Obligations owed by such Borrower to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders.

Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of the Company hereunder except
the full performance and payment of the Obligations.

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

SECTION 11.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan, acceptance of a Draft or
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may
have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof
or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or
by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required
Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan
Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of
the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall;

(i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such
Lender,

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, Acceptance or LC Disbursement or
reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,

(iii) postpone the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any
Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any amount in respect of
any Acceptance, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or
excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (it
being understood that waiver of a mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of
the Commitments shall not constitute a postponement or waiver of a scheduled
payment or date of expiration),

(iv) change Section 2.19(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby (it being understood that any increase in the total US Tranche
Commitments, Canadian Tranche Commitments or UK Tranche Commitments pursuant to
Section 2.10 shall not be deemed to alter such pro rata sharing of payments),

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required
Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document to reduce the number or
percentage of Lenders stated therein required to waive, amend or modify any
rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender,

(vi) release the Company or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary
Guarantors from, or limit or condition, its or their obligations under Article X
or the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement without the written consent of each
Lender,

 

126

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

(vii) change any provisions of Article IX without the written consent of each
Lender affected thereby, or

(viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms
adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans
of any Tranche differently than those of Lenders holding Loans of any other
Tranche without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of
the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Tranche;

provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline
Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written
consent of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case
may be, and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by
its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the US Tranche
Lenders (but not the Canadian Tranche Lenders or the UK Tranche Lenders) or the
Canadian Tranche Lenders (but not the US Tranche Lenders or the UK Tranche
Lenders) or the UK Tranche Lenders (but not the US Tranche Lenders or the
Canadian Tranche Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Company and requisite percentage in interest of the
affected Tranche of Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to
this Agreement solely for the purpose of effecting an increase in the total
Commitments in any Tranche pursuant to Section 2.10 may be entered into by the
Company and any other relevant Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any other
Applicable Agent, any Lender that has agreed to increase its Commitment in the
relevant Tranche and any Person that has agreed to become a Lender hereunder and
to have a Commitment in the relevant Tranche.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent
may, with the consent of the Borrowers only, amend, modify or supplement this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission,
mistake, defect or inconsistency.

SECTION 11.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Company shall pay
(i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent
and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
no more than two counsel, and one additional local counsel in each applicable
jurisdiction, for the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or
any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each
Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of no more than two counsel, and
one additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, for the Agents,
the Issuing Bank(s) and the Lenders (and, solely in the event of a conflict of
interest, one additional counsel to the Agents, the Issuing Bank(s) and the
Lenders, taken as a whole), in connection with the enforcement or protection of
its rights in connection with any Loan Document, including its rights under this
Section, or in connection with the Loans made, Acceptances accepted or Letters
of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred
during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans,
Acceptances or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Company shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all invoiced
reasonable fees, charges, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses of any
financial advisor firm engaged by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in
the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion in connection with the this Agreement
in the same manner as set forth in Section 11.03(a) and (f) of the this
Agreement. The Company shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all invoiced
reasonable fees, charges,

 

127

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

disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses of a custodian reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the Loan
Documents to perfect the Liens on (and monitor the ongoing status of and
services related thereto) the rolling stock owned by the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Vehicle Title Custodian”) in the same manner as set
forth in Section 11.03(a) and (f) of this Agreement.

(c) The Company shall indemnify each Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and
each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such
Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related
expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by
the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or
the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated
thereby, (ii) any Loan, Acceptance or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand
for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection
with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials
on or from any property owned or operated by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability arising out of the operations or
properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of, or breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee (or any of
its Related Parties) or to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses result from any disputes solely among the
Indemnitees and not involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(d) To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid
by it to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender under paragraph
(a), (b) or (c) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such
Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such
Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such; and provided further that payment of any amount by any Lender
pursuant to this clause (d) shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to
pay such amount, and such Lender shall have a claim against the Company for such
amount. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined
based upon its share of the sum (without duplication) of the total Exposures and
unused Commitments at the time.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and
each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto (or
its Related Parties), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the
Transactions, any Loan, Acceptance or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof.

(f) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 days
after written demand therefor.

 

128

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

SECTION 11.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of
the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment
or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and
(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby
(including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to
the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(A) the Company, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for
an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent; and

(C) each Issuing Bank, unless a Term Loan is being assigned.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender
or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment or Loans (and Acceptances, if applicable) of any Tranche, the amount
of the Commitment or Loans (and Acceptances, if applicable) of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000, or in the case of a
Term Loan, $5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent
otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in
respect of one Tranche of Commitments or Loans (and Acceptances, if applicable);

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

(D) the assignee, if it is not already a Lender under the applicable Tranche,
hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the Borrowers, the Agents and
the Lenders that, as of the date of such assignment, it will comply with
Section 2.18(e) and (f) with respect to withholding tax on payments by the
Borrowers; and

 

129

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

(E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee
designates one or more Credit Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Company, the Loan
Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made
available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s
compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state
securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 11.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the
following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged
in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions
of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or
managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an
Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(ii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 11.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of
this Section.

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

(iv) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by
an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and
any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption
and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if
either the assigning

 

130

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

Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.19(d) or 11.03(d),
the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until
such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest
thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, any Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks
or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it and the Acceptances accepted by it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the
Agents, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce 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
described in the first proviso to Section 11.02(b) that affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17
and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted
by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless the Company
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.18(e) and
(f) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.

SECTION 11.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, acceptance of any
Drafts and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation
made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force

 

131

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

and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or
any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (including any amount in respect of any Acceptance) is outstanding and
unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.16,
2.17, 2.18 and 11.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and
effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit, the Acceptances and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

SECTION 11.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable
to the Agents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except
as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at
any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and
other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against any of
and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although
such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which such Lender may have. Promptly upon the exercise of any set off rights by
any Lender or its Affiliate, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided that failure of such Lender to
provide such notice shall in no way be deemed a breach under any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 11.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law
of the State of New York.

(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United
States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that
all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be

 

132

heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law,
in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be binding (subject to appeal as provided
by applicable law) and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any Agent, any Issuing Bank
or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or its properties
in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in

SECTION 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND

SECTION 11.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’

and its Swap Obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the
extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of
a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Company. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than
any such information that is available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company; provided
that, in the case of information received from the Company after the date
hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 11.12
FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING
THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW,
INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE
COMPANY OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF
ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY
CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, THE LOAN PARTIES AND
ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES.
ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE COMPANY AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO
MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 11.13. Conversion of Currencies.

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

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party
hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable
Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due
hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on
the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase
the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency,

 

134

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

such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The
obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 11.13 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing
hereunder.

SECTION 11.14. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements
of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address
of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify
such Borrower in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 11.15. Appointment for Perfection; Release of Collateral.

(a) Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose
of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Holders
of Secured Obligations, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC
or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any
Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such
Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and,
promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such
Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in
accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

(b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its
option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to or for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on
any Collateral (i) upon (A) the termination of the Commitments and payment in
full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not
yet due and payable), (B) the termination or expiration of any Swap Agreements
evidencing any of the Swap Obligations or the substitution of credit in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to any swap counterparty in respect thereof and (C) the
expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (or provision therefore in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Banks), (ii) that is sold or to be
sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted under the Loan
Documents or (iii) owned by a Domestic Loan Party upon release of such Domestic
Loan Party from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty in connection with
any such release permitted under the Loan Documents. Any such release shall not
in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens
(other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan
Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the
proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the
Collateral.
