misconduct or lack of good faith by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
under any Loan Documents.  No provision of any Loan Documents shall be construed

drafted the provision.  Whenever the phrase “to the best of Borrowers’

Applicable Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be.  Borrowers
shall report Value and other U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base and Canadian Borrowing
Base components to the Administrative Agent in the currency invoiced by
Borrowers or shown in Borrowers’ financial records, and unless expressly
provided otherwise, shall deliver financial statements and calculate financial
covenants in Dollars.

Documents.  If the Total Canadian Outstandings exceed the Canadian Borrowing
Base (“Canadian Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by
Canadian Borrower on demand by Canadian Agent, but all such Canadian Loans shall

Agent may require the Applicable Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans
and to forbear from requiring the applicable Borrowers to cure an Overadvance,

(B) if a Canadian Overadvance, the Overadvance is not known by the Canadian
Agent to exceed 10% of the Canadian Borrowing Base; and (b) regardless of
whether an Event of Default exists, if the Applicable Agent discovers an
Overadvance not previously known by it to exist (an “Unintentional
Overadvance”), if (i)(A) with respect to a request for a U.S. Revolver
Overadvance, the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the Unintentional
Overadvance under the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base and (y) the amount of the
request for a U.S. Revolver Overadvance does not exceed 10% of the U.S. Revolver
Borrowing Base, and (B) with respect to a request for a Canadian Overadvance,
the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the Unintentional Overadvance under the
Canadian Borrowing Base and (y) the request for a Canadian Overadvance does not
exceed 10% of the Canadian Borrowing Base, and (ii) such Overadvance does not
continue for more than 30 consecutive days.  In no event shall Overadvance Loans
be required that would cause (1) the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings to exceed
the Aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments and (2) the Total Canadian Outstandings
to exceed the Aggregate Canadian Commitments.  Any funding of an Overadvance
Loan or sufferance of a U.S. Revolver Overadvance or a Canadian Overadvance
shall not constitute a waiver by the Applicable Agent or Applicable Lenders of
the Event of Default caused thereby.  In no event shall any Borrower or other
Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of
its terms.  Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Applicable Agent’s
authority to make further Overadvance Loans by written notice to Applicable
Agent.

 

2.1.6.            Protective Advances.

 

(a)           U.S. Revolver Protective Advances.  The Administrative Agent shall
be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in Section 6
are not satisfied, to make U.S. Revolver Loans as Base Rate Loans (“U.S.
Revolver Protective Advances”), (i) up to an aggregate amount of U.S.$25,000,000
outstanding at any time, if the Administrative Agent deems such Loans necessary
or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the collectibility
or repayment of Obligations, as long as such Loans do not cause the Total U.S.
Revolver Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments; or
(ii) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Obligors under any Loan Documents,
including interest, costs, fees and expenses.  Each U.S. Revolver Lender shall
participate in each U.S. Revolver Protective Advance made to the U.S. Borrowers
on a Pro Rata basis.  Required Lenders may at any time revoke Administrative
Agent’s authority to make further U.S. Revolver Protective Advances under clause
(i) by written notice to Administrative Agent.  Absent such revocation, the
Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of a U.S. Revolver Protective
Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

 

(b)           Canadian Protective Advances.  The Canadian Agent shall be
authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are
not satisfied, to make Canadian Loans as BA Equivalent Rate Loans (“Canadian
Protective Advances”), (i) up to an aggregate amount of the Canadian Dollar
Equivalent of U.S.$5,000,000 outstanding at any time, if the Canadian Agent
deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to
enhance the collectibility or repayment of Canadian Obligations, as long as such
Loans do not cause the Total Canadian Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate
Canadian Commitments; or (ii) to pay any other amounts chargeable to the
Canadian Borrower under any Loan Documents, including interest, costs, fees and
expenses.  Each Canadian Lender shall participate in each Canadian Protective
Advance made to the Canadian Borrower on a Pro Rata basis.  Required Lenders may
at any time revoke Canadian Agent’s authority to make further Canadian
Protective Advances under clause (i) by written notice to Canadian Agent. 
Absent such revocation, the Canadian Agent’s determination that funding of a
Canadian Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

 

2.1.7.            Increase in U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian
Commitments.  Borrowers may request an increase in U.S. Revolver Commitments or
Canadian Commitments from time

to time upon notice to Administrative Agent, and, if applicable, Canadian Agent,
as long as (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of U.S.$10,000,000
and is offered on the same terms as existing U.S. Revolver Commitments or
Canadian Commitments, except for a closing fee agreed to among Administrative
Agent, Borrowers and the Lenders providing such increase, (b) subject to clause
(e) below, increases under this Section do not exceed U.S.$600,000,000 in the
aggregate and no more than three increases are made, (c) no reduction in U.S.
Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1.4 has
occurred prior to the requested increase, (d) to the extent any such increase is
made to the Canadian Commitments, such increase shall result in an increase in
the U.S. Revolver Commitments in an amount such that the ratio of the U.S.
Revolver Commitments to the Canadian Commitments immediately following such
increase is not less than the ratio that existed immediately prior to such
increase, and (e) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of any such
increase.  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable Lenders of
the requested increase and, within 10 Business Days thereafter, each Applicable
Lender shall notify Administrative Agent if and to what extent such Lender
commits to increase its U.S. Revolver Commitment and/or Canadian Commitment, as
the case may be.  Any Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed
to have declined an increase.  If Lenders fail to commit to the full requested
increase, Eligible Assignees may issue additional U.S. Revolver Commitments or
Canadian Commitments and become Lenders hereunder upon entering into joinder
documentation reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent.  Administrative
Agent may allocate, in its discretion, the increased U.S. Revolver Commitments
or Canadian Commitments among committing Applicable Lenders and, if necessary,
Eligible Assignees.  Provided the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are
satisfied, total U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments shall be
increased by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by Applicable
Lenders and Eligible Assignees) on a date agreed upon by Administrative Agent
and Borrower Agent, but no later than 45 days following Borrowers’ increase
request.  Administrative Agent, Canadian Agent (if applicable), Borrowers, and
new and existing Applicable Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and
agreements (including legal opinions) as Administrative Agent deems appropriate
to evidence or in connection with the increase in and allocations of U.S.
Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments.  On the effective date of an
increase, (i) all outstanding applicable Loans, applicable LC Obligations and
other exposures under the U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments
shall be reallocated among Applicable Lenders, and settled by the Applicable
Agent if necessary, in accordance with Applicable Lenders’ adjusted shares of
such U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments and (ii) Borrowers shall
pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with such increase (including
any breakage costs).

 

2.2.         [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

2.3.         Letter of Credit Facility.

 

2.3.1.            Issuance of Letters of Credit.  Each Issuing Bank shall issue
Letters of Credit (x) for the account of the U.S. Borrowers or their
Subsidiaries denominated in U.S. Dollars or (y) for the account of the Canadian
Borrower or its Subsidiaries denominated in Canadian Dollars from time to time
until 30 days prior to the Applicable Commitment Termination Date on the terms
set forth herein, including the following:

 

(a)           Each Borrower acknowledges that each Issuing Bank’s issuance of
any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such Issuing Bank’s receipt of an LC
Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such
other instruments and agreements as such Issuing Bank may customarily require
for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount.  No Issuing Bank
shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) such Issuing
Bank receives an LC Request and LC Application at least three Business Days
prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each U.S. LC Condition or Canadian
LC Condition, as the case may be, is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender

exists, such Lender or Borrowers have entered into arrangements satisfactory to
the Applicable Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting
Exposure associated with such Lender.  If, in sufficient time to act, the
applicable Issuing Bank receives written notice from Required Lenders that a
U.S. LC Condition or Canadian LC Condition, as the case may be, has not been
satisfied, such Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested Letter of Credit. 
Prior to receipt of any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have
knowledge of any failure of U.S. LC Conditions or Canadian LC Conditions.

 

(b)           Letters of Credit may be requested by a U.S. Borrower or Canadian
Borrower to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or
as otherwise approved by the Applicable Agent.  The renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit,
except that delivery of a new LC Application shall be required at the discretion
of the applicable Issuing Bank.

 

(c)           Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of
any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary.  In connection with issuance of any
Letter of Credit, no Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender shall be responsible for the
existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery
of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or
variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or
delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any
endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of
goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods
referred to in a Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions,
delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any
goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor
and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or
delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail,
telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the
misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof;
or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank,
any Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental
Authority.  The rights and remedies of each Issuing Bank under the Loan
Documents shall be cumulative.  Each Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to
the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are
discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

 

(d)           In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights
or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, the applicable Issuing
Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any
certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such
Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by a proper Person.  Each Issuing Bank may consult with and employ
legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its
obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall
be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice
given by such experts.  Each Issuing Bank may employ agents and
attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or
LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents
and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

 

2.3.2.            Reimbursement; Participations.

 

(a)           If any Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter
of Credit, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall pay to such Issuing Bank,
on the same day (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such Issuing Bank
under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for
(i) Base Rate Loans, in the case of Letters of Credit issued in U.S. Dollars and
(ii) BA Equivalent Rate Loans, in the case of Letters of Credit issued in
Canadian Dollars, from the Reimbursement Date until payment by such Borrower or
Borrowers.  The obligation of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers to reimburse
Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be

 

42

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid
without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit
or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may
have at any time against the beneficiary.  Regardless of whether Borrower Agent
or the Canadian Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, the applicable Borrower
or Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of (x) Base Rate
Loans, in the case of Letters of Credit issued in U.S. Dollars and (y) BA
Equivalent Rate Loans, in the case of Letters of Credit issued in Canadian
Dollars, in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due the applicable Issuing
Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each U.S. Revolver Lender and Canadian
Lender, as the case may be, agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing
whether or not the U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments, as the
case may be, have terminated, a U.S. Revolver Overadvance or Canadian
Overadvance, as the case may be, exists or is created thereby, or the conditions
in Section 6 are satisfied.

 

(b)           (i) In the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account or
benefit of a U.S. Borrower or a Subsidiary of a U.S. Borrower, each U.S.
Revolver Lender and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the
account or benefit of the Canadian Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Canadian
Borrower, each Canadian Lender, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally purchases
from the applicable Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro
Rata interest and participation in all applicable LC Obligations relating to the
Letter of Credit.  Issuing Bank is issuing Letters of Credit in reliance upon
this participation.  If any Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Letter of
Credit and the applicable Borrower or Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on
the Reimbursement Date, the Applicable Agent shall promptly notify the
Applicable Lenders and each such Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day)
and unconditionally pay to the Applicable Agent, for the benefit of such Issuing
Bank, the Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment.  Upon request by a Lender,
the applicable Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any Letters of Credit and LC
Documents in its possession at such time.

 

(c)           The obligation of each Lender to make payments to the Applicable
Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with such
Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or
exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under
all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of
any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a
Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate
in any respect; any waiver by Issuing Bank of a requirement that exists for its
protection (and not a Borrower’s protection) or that does not materially
prejudice a Borrower; any honor of an electronic demand for payment even if a
draft is required; any payment of an item presented after a Letter of Credit’s
expiration date if authorized by the UCC or applicable customs or practices; or
any setoff or defense that any Obligor may have with respect to any
Obligations.  No Issuing Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or
delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any
obligations under any LC Documents.  No Issuing Bank makes to Lenders any
express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the
Collateral, LC Documents or any Obligor.  No Issuing Bank shall be responsible
to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or
warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness,
effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness,
enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the
perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition,
results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any
Obligor.

 

(d)           No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other
Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Letter
of Credit or LC Document except as a result of its gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  Issuing Bank may refrain from taking any action

with respect to a Letter of Credit until it receives written instructions (and
in its discretion, appropriate assurances) from the Lenders.

 

2.3.3.            Cash Collateral.  If any LC Obligations, whether or not then
due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an
Event of Default exists, (b) that U.S. Revolver Availability or Canadian
Availability, as the case may be, is less than zero, (c) after the Applicable
Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five (5) Business Days prior to the
Applicable Termination Date, then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall, at
the applicable Issuing Bank’s or the Applicable Agent’s request, Cash
Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for
the account or benefit of such Borrower or Borrowers and pay to each applicable
Issuing Bank the amount of all other outstanding LC Obligations of such Borrower
or Borrowers owed to such Issuing Bank.  The applicable Borrower or Borrowers
shall, on demand by the applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Agent from
time to time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender
that has not been Cash Collateralized by such Defaulting Lender.  If any
Borrower fails to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, the
Applicable Lenders may (and shall upon direction of the Applicable Agent)
advance, as U.S. Revolver Loans or Canadian Loans, as the case may be, the
amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the U.S. Revolver
Commitments or Canadian Commitments, as the case may be, have terminated, a U.S.
Revolver Overadvance or Canadian Overadvance, as the case may be, exists or the
conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

 

2.3.4.            Resignation of Issuing Banks.  Any Issuing Bank may resign at
any time upon notice to the Applicable Agent and the applicable Borrower or
Borrowers.  On and after the effective date of such resignation, such Issuing
Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify
any Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and other
obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder relating to any Letter of Credit issued
by such Issuing Bank prior to such date.  The Applicable Agent shall promptly
appoint a replacement Issuing Bank, which, as long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to the applicable Borrower or
Borrowers.

 

SECTION 3.        INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

 

3.1.         Interest.

 

3.1.1.            Rates and Payment of Interest.

 

(a)           The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at
the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a
Canadian Prime Rate Loan, at the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to
time, plus the Applicable Margin; (iii) if a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for the
applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; (iv) if a BA Equivalent
Rate Loan, at the BA Equivalent Rate for the applicable Interest Period, plus
the Applicable Margin; and (v) if any other Obligation (including, to the extent
permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Applicable Floating Rate
in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin.  Interest shall accrue
from the date the Loan is advanced or the Obligation is incurred or payable,
until paid by the applicable Borrower or Borrowers.  If a Loan is repaid on the
same day made, one day’s interest shall accrue.

 

(b)           During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower, or
during any other Event of Default if Administrative Agent or Required Lenders in
their discretion so elect, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate
(whether before or after any judgment).  Each Borrower acknowledges that the
cost and expense to Agents and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult
to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair and reasonable compensation for
this.

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

(c)           Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears,
(i) (x) with respect to any Applicable Offered Rate Loan, the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to such Loan; provided, however, that if any Interest
Period for an Applicable Offered Rate Loan exceeds three (3) months, interest
accrued on such Loan shall also be due and payable on the respective dates that
fall every three (3) months after the beginning of such Interest Period and
(y) with respect any Applicable Floating Rate Loan, on the first day of each
month; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of
Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Applicable Commitment Termination Date. 
Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided
in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and
payable on demand.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the
Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

 

3.1.2.            Application of Applicable Offered Rate to Outstanding Loans.

 

(a)           Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice
of Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of Base Rate Loans to,
or to continue any Applicable Offered Rate Loan at the end of its Interest
Period as, an Applicable Offered Rate Loan.  During any Default or Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required
Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as an
Applicable Offered Rate Loan.

 

(b)           Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as
Applicable Offered Rate Loans, Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower, as the
case may be, shall give Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as the case
may be, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least
three Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. 
Promptly after receiving any such notice, the Applicable Agent shall notify each
Applicable Lender thereof.  Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be
irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued,
the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the
duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not
specified).  If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any
Applicable Offered Rate Loans, (i) Borrower Agent shall have failed to deliver a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation, it shall be deemed to have elected to convert
such Loans into Base Rate Loans and (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall have failed
to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, it shall be deemed to have
elected to continue such Loan as a BA Equivalent Rate Loan with an Interest
Period of one month.  Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept
responsibility for, nor shall it have any liability with respect to,
administration, submission or any other matter related to any rate described in
the definition of LIBOR.

 

3.1.3.            Interest Periods.  In connection with the making, conversion
or continuation of any Applicable Offered Rate Loans, Borrower Agent or the
Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, shall select an interest period
(“Interest Period”) to apply, which interest period shall be a period of one
month, two months, three months, six months or, with the approval of all
affected Lenders, nine months; provided, however, that:

 

(a)           the Interest Period shall commence on the date the Loan is made or
continued as, or converted into, an Applicable Offered Rate Loan, and shall
expire on the numerically corresponding day in the applicable calendar month at
its end;

 

(b)           if any Interest Period commences on a day for which there is no
corresponding day in the applicable calendar month at its end or if such
corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the
Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month; and if any
Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the
period shall expire on the next Business Day; and

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

(c)           no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Applicable Termination
Date.

 

3.1.4.            Interest Rate Not Ascertainable.  If the Applicable Agent
shall determine that on any date for determining LIBOR or the BA Equivalent
Rate, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining such rate on the
basis provided herein, then the Applicable Agent shall immediately notify the
applicable Borrower or Borrowers of such determination.  Until the Applicable
Agent notifies the applicable Borrower or Borrowers that such circumstance no
longer exists, the obligation of the Applicable Lenders to make Applicable
Offered Rate Loans shall be suspended, and no further Loans may be converted
into or continued as Applicable Offered Rate Loans.

 

3.2.         Fees.

 

3.2.1.            Unused Line Fees.

 

(a)           U.S. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata
benefit of U.S. Revolver Lenders, a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate times
the amount by which the U.S. Revolver Commitments exceed the average daily Total
U.S. Revolver Outstandings during any Fiscal Quarter.  Such fee shall be payable
in arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the U.S. Revolver
Commitment Termination Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding amount
of Swingline Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers shall not be counted toward or
considered usage of the U.S. Revolver Commitments for purposes of determining
the unused line fee.

 

(b)           Canadian Borrower shall pay to Canadian Agent, for the Pro Rata
benefit of Canadian Lenders, a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate times the
amount by which the Canadian Commitments exceed the average daily Total Canadian
Outstandings during any Fiscal Quarter.  Such fee shall be payable in arrears,
on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the Canadian Commitment
Termination Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding amount of
Swingline Loans made to the Canadian Borrower shall not be counted toward or
considered usage of the Canadian Commitments for purposes of determining the
unused line fee.

 

3.2.2.            LC Facility Fees.  The applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall
pay (a) to the Applicable Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the Applicable
Lenders, a fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for Applicable Offered
Rate Loans times the average daily stated amount of Letters of Credit issued for
the account or benefit of such Borrower or Borrowers, which fee shall be payable
monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; (b) to the applicable
Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on
the stated amount of each Letter of Credit issued by it for the account or
benefit of such Borrower or Borrowers (or such other amount as may be mutually
agreed by such Borrower(s) and such Issuing Bank), which fee shall be payable
monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; and (c) to the applicable
Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the
issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and
administration of Letters of Credit issued for the account or benefit of such
Borrower or Borrowers, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred.  During
an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (a) shall, subject to the
Interest Act (Canada), be increased by 2% per annum.

 

3.2.3.            Administrative Agent Fees.  Borrowers shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees described in the Fee Letter
and any other fee letter executed in connection with this Agreement.

 

3.3.         Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection.  All computations
of interest for Applicable Offered Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a
year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of interest,
as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall

 

46

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 365 days.  For the
purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (a) whenever a rate of interest or fee
rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that
contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of
calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly
rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of
days in the calendar year of calculation (365) and dividing it by the number of
days in the deemed year, (b) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest
shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (c) the rates of
interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective
rates or yields.  Each determination by any Agent of any interest, fees or
interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.  All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be
subject to rebate, refund or proration.  All fees payable under Section 3.2 are
compensation for services and are not intended to be, and to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other
charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money.  A certificate as to
amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.9, submitted
to Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, by the
Applicable Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final,
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the
applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party
within 10 days following receipt of the certificate.

 

3.4.         Reimbursement Obligations.  Borrowers shall reimburse Agents and
Lenders for all Extraordinary Expenses.  Borrowers shall also reimburse Agents
for all reasonable legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees,
costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with (a) negotiation and
preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification
thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan
Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including (i) any actions taken
to perfect or maintain priority of each Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to
maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral and (ii) the
Platform or any other dedicated agency web page on the internet to distribute to
the Lenders and to other investors or potential investors any required
documentation and financial information regarding the Loan Documents and the
Loans; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each inspection,
audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, whether prepared
by any Agent’s personnel or a third party.  Legal, accounting and consulting
fees may be charged to Borrowers by Agents’ professionals at their usual and
customary hourly rates for similar services, regardless of any reduced or
alternative fee billing arrangements that any Agent, any Lender or any of their
Affiliates may have with such professionals with respect to this or any other
transaction.  Borrowers acknowledge that counsel may provide the Administrative
Agent with a benefit, such as a discount, credit or other accommodation, based
on counsel’s overall relationship with the Administrative Agent, including fees
paid hereunder.  If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial
statements or a Compliance Certificate), it is determined that a higher
Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied,
then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall
immediately pay to the Applicable Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the
Applicable Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of
interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount
actually paid.  All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall be due
on demand.

 

3.5.         Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has
made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is
unlawful, for any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder to make,
maintain, fund or charge applicable interest or fees with respect to any Loans
or Letters of Credit, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any
Applicable Offered Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take
deposits of, U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars in the London interbank market,
any other relevant interbank market or the position of such Lender in such
market then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Applicable Agent, any
obligation of such Lender to perform such obligations to make, maintain or fund
such Loans or participate in such Letters of Credit (or to charge interest or
fees

with respect thereto), or to continue Applicable Offered Rate Loans or to
convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender
notifies the Applicable Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist.  Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers shall
prepay the applicable Loans, Cash Collateralize the applicable LC Obligations
or, in the case of the U.S. Borrowers and if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans
of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to
such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain
such Base Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers shall
also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

 

3.6.         Inability to Determine Rates.  The Applicable Agent will promptly
notify Borrower Agent and Lenders if, in connection with any request for a
Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an Applicable Offered Rate
Loan (a) such Agent determines that (i) deposits (whether in U.S. Dollars or
Canadian Dollars) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore
interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period
of such Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining
LIBOR or the BA Equivalent Rate for the requested Interest Period, or (b) such
Agent or Required Lenders determine for any reason that LIBOR or the BA
Equivalent Rate for the requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan.  Thereafter, the
obligation of the Applicable Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans or BA
Equivalent Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the
Applicable Agent (upon instruction by Required Lenders) withdraws such notice. 
Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower, as the
case may be, may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of an Applicable Offered Rate Loan (and, in the case of the
revocation of a request for a continuation of a BA Equivalent Rate Loan, the
Canadian Borrower shall prepay such BA Equivalent Rate Loan) or, failing that,
solely with respect to the Borrower Agent, the Borrower Agent will be deemed to
have submitted a request for a Base Rate Loan.

 

3.7.         Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

 

3.7.1.            Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

 

(a)           impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special
deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in
by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR) or any
Issuing Bank;

 

(b)           subject any Recipient to Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes,
(ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded
Taxes, and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Loan, Letter of
Credit, U.S. Revolver Commitment, Canadian Commitment or other obligations, or
its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

(c)           impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of
Credit, participation in LC Obligations, or U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian
Commitment;

 

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Loan, U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian Commitment, or
converting to or continuing any interest option for a Loan, or to increase the
cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to
participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such
Lender or

 

48

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

such Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers will pay to such Lender
or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

3.7.2.            Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or any Issuing Bank
determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or
any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s or
such holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian Commitments,
Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations, to a level below
that which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s,
such Issuing Bank’s and such holding company’s policies with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower or Borrowers will pay
to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

 

3.7.3.            Compensation.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or
any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers
shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to
the date that the Lender or the Issuing Bank notifies Borrower Agent or the
Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof).

 

3.8.         Mitigation.  If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or
requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if any Borrower is required to pay
additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.9, then such Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office 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 (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts
payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not
subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to it or unlawful.  Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.

 

3.9.         Funding Losses.  If for any reason (other than default by a Lender)
(a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an Applicable Offered
Rate Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing
or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any
repayment or conversion of an Applicable Offered Rate Loan occurs on a day other
than the end of its Interest Period, (c) the applicable Borrower or Borrowers
fail to repay an Applicable Offered Rate Loan when required hereunder, or (d) a
Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is required to assign an Applicable
Offered Rate Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period pursuant to
Section 13.4, then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall pay to the
Applicable Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Applicable
Lender all resulting losses and expenses, including loss of anticipated profits
and any loss or expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or
from fees payable to terminate deposits of matching funds.  Lenders shall not be
required to purchase U.S. Dollar or Canadian Dollar deposits in any interbank or
offshore U.S. Dollar or Canadian Dollar market to fund any Applicable Offered
Rate Loan, but this Section shall apply as if each Lender had purchased such
deposits.

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

3.10.       Maximum Interest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”).  If any Agent or any Lender shall
receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such
unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers.  In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum
rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
(a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium
rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof;
and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the
total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations
hereunder.  In addition to the foregoing, if any provision of this Agreement or
of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower or any
other Obligor to make any payment of “interest” (as defined in Section 347 (the
“Criminal Code Section”) of the Criminal Code (Canada)) or other amount payable
to any Canadian Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would exceed
the effective annual rate of interest lawfully permitted under the Criminal Code
Section on the “credit advanced” (as defined in the Criminal Code Section) or
would otherwise be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by such
Canadian Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are defined in
the Criminal Code Section) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or
rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the
maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so
prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Canadian Lender of interest
at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as
follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be
paid to such Canadian Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) thereafter, by
reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid
to such Canadian Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of the
Criminal Code Section.  Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this
Agreement shall be determined in accordance with GAAP as an effective annual
rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on
the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning
of “interest” under the Criminal Code Section shall, if they relate to a
specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be
pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Applicable Termination
Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian
Institute of Actuaries appointed by Applicable Agent shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error, for the purposes of such determination.

 

SECTION 4.        LOAN ADMINISTRATION

 

4.1.         Manner of Borrowing and Funding Loans.

 

4.1.1.            Notice of Borrowing.

 

(a)           Whenever (x) U.S. Borrowers desire funding of a Borrowing of U.S.
Revolver Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent, and (y) Canadian
Borrower desires funding of a Borrowing of Canadian Loans, Canadian Borrower
shall give Canadian Agent, a Notice of Borrowing.  Such notice must be received
by the Applicable Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the Business Day of the
requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) at least three
Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of Applicable
Offered Rate Loans.  Notices received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received
on the next Business Day.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and
shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date
(which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as Base
Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, in the case of U.S. Revolver Loans, and (D) in the
case of LIBOR Loans or BA Equivalent Rate Loans, the duration of the applicable
Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified).

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

(b)                                 Unless payment is otherwise timely made by
Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest,
fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash
Collateral and Secured Bank Product Obligations) shall be deemed to be a request
for Base Rate Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations.  The
proceeds of such Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant
Obligation.  In addition, the Applicable Agent may, at its option, charge such
Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of a U.S.
Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, maintained with such Agent or
any of its Affiliates.

 

(c)                                  If any Borrower maintains any disbursement
account with any Agent or any Affiliate of any Agent, then presentation for
payment of any Payment Item when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall
be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, in the case of the U.S.
Borrowers, or a BA Equivalent Rate Loan, in the case of the Canadian Borrower,
on the date of such presentation, in the amount of the Payment Item.  The
proceeds of such Loan may be disbursed directly to the disbursement account.

 

4.1.2.                                     Fundings by Lenders.  Each Applicable
Lender shall timely honor its U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian Commitment,
as the case may be, by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Loans
that is properly requested hereunder.  Except for Borrowings to be made as
Swingline Loans, the Applicable Agent shall endeavor to notify the Applicable
Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 12:00
noon on the proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans or by 3:00 p.m. at least
two Business Days before any proposed funding of Applicable Offered Rate Loans. 
Each Applicable Lender shall fund to the Applicable Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata
share of the Borrowing to the account specified by the Applicable Agent in
immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested funding
date, unless the Applicable Agent’s notice is received after the times provided
above, in which case the Applicable Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by
11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day.  Subject to its receipt of such amounts
from the Applicable Lenders, the Applicable Agent shall disburse the proceeds of
the Loans as directed by Borrower Agent or the Canadian Borrower, as the case
may be.  Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to
act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata
share of a Borrowing, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender has
deposited or promptly will deposit its share with such Agent, and such Agent may
disburse a corresponding amount to U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as
the case may be.  If a Lender’s share of any Borrowing or of any settlement
pursuant to Section 4.1.3(b) is not received by the Applicable Agent, then the
applicable Borrower or Borrowers agree to repay to the Applicable Agent on
demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date
disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to the Borrowing.  Subject to
Section 3.8, a Lender or Issuing Bank may fulfill its obligations under Loan
Documents through one or more Lending Offices, and this shall not affect any
obligation of Obligors under the Loan Documents or with respect to any
Obligations.

 

4.1.3.                                     Swingline Loans; Settlement.

 

(a)                                 The Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion, advance Swingline Loans to the U.S. Borrowers, up to an aggregate
outstanding amount equal to U.S.$45,000,000, and the Canadian Agent may, but
shall not be obligated to, advance Swingline Loans to the Canadian Borrower, up
to an aggregate outstanding amount equal to U.S.$3,500,000, unless, in either
case, the funding is specifically required to be made by the Canadian Lenders
hereunder and, provided, that the aggregate outstanding amount of all Swingline
Loans shall not exceed U.S.$45,000,000 at any time.  Each Swingline Loan to the
U.S. Borrowers shall constitute a Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan to the
Canadian Borrower shall constitute a Canadian Prime Rate Loan for all purposes,
except that payments thereon shall be made to the Applicable Agent for its own
account until Lenders have funded their participations therein as

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The

provided below.  The obligation of Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans shall be
evidenced by the records of the Applicable Agent and need not be evidenced by
any promissory note.

 

(b)                                 Settlement among the Applicable Lenders and
the Applicable Agent with respect to Swingline Loans and other Loans shall take
place on a date determined from time to time by such Agent (but at least
weekly), on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered
by the Applicable Agent to the Applicable Lenders.  Between settlement dates,
the Applicable Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Loans to Swingline
Loans, regardless of any designation by any Borrower or any provision herein to
the contrary.  Each Lender hereby purchases, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided Pro Rata participation in all Swingline Loans outstanding from time to
time until settled.  If a Swingline Loan cannot be settled among Lenders,
whether due to an Obligor’s Insolvency Proceeding or for any other reason, each
Lender shall pay the amount of its participation in the Loan to the Applicable
Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after the
Applicable Agent’s request therefor.  Lenders’ obligations to make settlements
and to fund participations are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, without
offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the U.S. Revolver
Commitments or Canadian Commitments, as the case may be, have terminated, a U.S.
Revolver Overadvance or Canadian Overadvance exists or the conditions in
Section 6 are satisfied.

 

4.1.4.                                     Notices.  Borrowers may request,
convert or continue Loans, select interest rates, and transfer funds based on
telephonic or e-mailed instructions to the Applicable Agent.  Borrowers shall
confirm each such request by prompt delivery to the Applicable Agent of a Notice
of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if such
notice differs materially from the action taken by the Applicable Agent or the
Applicable Lenders pursuant to the telephonic or e-mailed instructions from
Borrowers, the records of such Agent and such Lenders shall govern.  No Agent or
Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result
of any Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or
e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by any Agent or any
Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower’s
behalf.

 

4.2.                            Defaulting Lender.

 

4.2.1.                                     Reallocation of Pro Rata Share;
Amendments.  For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations or rights to fund,
participate in or receive collections with respect to Loans and Letters of
Credit (including existing Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and LC
Obligations), each Agent may exclude the U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian
Commitments and Loans of a Defaulting Lender from the calculation of Pro Rata
shares, it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any such
calculation relating to a Non-Defaulting Lender’s obligations to fund and
participate in respect of Loans and Letters of Credit shall not cause (a) the
U.S. Revolver Loans and participation in U.S. LC Obligations of any such
Non-Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Revolver Lender to exceed such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Revolver Commitment, or (b) the Canadian Loans and
participation in Canadian LC Obligations of any such Non-Defaulting Lender that
is a Canadian Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Canadian
Commitment.  A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment,
waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in
Section 14.1.1(c).

 

4.2.2.                                     Payments; Fees.  Each Agent may, in
its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender
under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have
assigned to such Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to such Agent,
non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full.  Each
Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations,
use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, or
readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder.  A Lender shall not be entitled to
receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a
Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its U.S. Revolver Commitment
and/or Canadian Commitment shall be

 

52

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The

disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under
Section 3.2.1.  To the extent any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender
are reallocated to other Lenders, Letter of Credit fees attributable to such LC
Obligations under Section 3.2.2 shall be paid to such other Lenders.  The
Applicable Agent shall be paid all Letter of Credit fees attributable to LC
Obligations that are not so reallocated.

 

4.2.3.                                     Reallocation of Pro Rata Shares to
Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among
the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata shares
(calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Revolver Commitment
and/or Canadian Commitment, as applicable) but only to the extent that (a) the
conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at the time of such
reallocation (and, unless the Borrower Agent shall have otherwise notified the
Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and
(b) such reallocation does not cause (i) the U.S. Revolver Loans and
participation in U.S. LC Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender that is a U.S.
Revolver Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s U.S. Revolver Commitment,
or (ii) the Canadian Loans and participation in Canadian LC Obligations of any
Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Canadian Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s Canadian Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting
Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any
claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s
increased exposure following such reallocation.

 

4.2.4.                                     Cash Collateral, Repayment of
Swingline Loans.  If the reallocation described in Section 4.2.3 above cannot,
or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, subject to Section 4.5,
without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under
Applicable Law, (a) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the
Fronting Exposure of the Lenders holding Swingline Loans and (b) second, Cash
Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.3.3.

 

4.2.5.                                     Status; Cure.  The Applicable Agent
may determine in its discretion that a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender
and the effective date of such status shall be conclusive and binding on all
parties, absent manifest error.  Borrowers, the Applicable Agent and the
applicable Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a
Defaulting Lender, whereupon Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without
exclusion of the reinstated Lender’s U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian
Commitments and Loans, and all outstanding Loans, LC Obligations and other
exposures under the U.S. Revolver Commitments and Canadian Commitments shall be
reallocated among the Applicable Lenders and settled by the Applicable Agent
(with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender, including payment of any
breakage costs for reallocated LIBOR Loans) in accordance with the readjusted
Pro Rata shares.  Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, the Applicable Agent and
the applicable Issuing Bank, no reallocation of Commitments and Loans to
non-Defaulting Lenders and no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall
constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender.  The failure of
any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or
otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other
Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by
another Lender.

 

4.3.                            Number and Amount of Applicable Offered Rate
Loans; Determination of Rate.  Each Borrowing of Applicable Offered Rate Loans
when made shall be in a minimum amount of U.S.$1,000,000, plus any increment of
U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof.  No more than 16 Borrowings of Applicable
Offered Rate Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all Applicable Offered
Rate Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods
shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose. 
Upon determining LIBOR or the BA Equivalent Rate, as the

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the

case may be, for any Interest Period requested by U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian
Borrower, as the case may be, the Applicable Agent shall promptly notify the
applicable Borrower or Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if
requested by such Borrower or Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in
writing.

 

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

 

4.5.                            One Obligation; Limitation on Obligations of
Canadian Borrower.  The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations constitute
one general obligation of U.S. Borrowers and are secured by the Applicable
Agent’s Lien on all Collateral; provided, however, that each Agent and each
Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim
against, each U.S. Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or
severally owed by such U.S. Borrower.  The Canadian Loans, Canadian LC
Obligations and other Canadian Obligations constitute one general obligation of
the Canadian Borrower and are secured by Canadian Agent’s Lien on all Collateral
owned by Canadian Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Canadian Borrower
shall not at any time be liable, directly or indirectly, for any portion of the
Obligations other than the Canadian Obligations.

 

4.6.                            Effect of Termination.  On the effective date of
any termination of the Aggregate Commitments, all Obligations shall be
immediately due and payable, and each Secured Bank Product Provider may
terminate its Bank Products in accordance with the terms thereof.  Until Full
Payment of the Obligations, all undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan
Documents shall continue, and the Applicable Agent shall retain its Liens in the
Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents.  No
Agent shall be required to terminate its Liens unless it receives Cash
Collateral or a written agreement, in each case satisfactory to it, protecting
Agents and Lenders from the dishonor or return of any Payment Items previously
applied to the Obligations.  Sections 3.4, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.9, 5.10, 12, 14.2,
this Section, and each indemnity or waiver given by an Obligor or Lender in any
Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations.

 

SECTION 5.                         PAYMENTS

 

5.1.                            General Payment Provisions.  Except with respect
to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, all
payments of Obligations shall be made in U.S. Dollars, without offset,
counterclaim or defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any
Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law, and in immediately available funds,
not later than 12:00 noon on the due date.  If any payment to be made by any
Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be
made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.  Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on
Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made to the Canadian Agent, for
the account of the Applicable Lenders to which such payment is owed, in Canadian
Dollars in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon on the due
date.  Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business
Day.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent
may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United
States.  If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any law from making
any required payment hereunder in Canadian Dollars, such Borrower shall make
such payment in U.S. Dollars in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian
Dollar payment amount.   Any payment of an Applicable Offered Rate Loan prior to
the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under
Section 3.9.  Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Applicable
Floating Rate Loans and then to Applicable Offered Rate Loans.

 

5.2.                            Repayment of Loans.  Loans shall be due and
payable in full on the Applicable Termination Date, unless payment is sooner
required hereunder.  Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or
premium.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a U.S. Revolver
Overadvance or a Canadian Overadvance exists, U.S. Borrowers or Canadian
Borrower, as the case may be, shall, on the sooner of the Applicable Agent’s
demand or the first Business Day after any U.S. Borrower or the Canadian
Borrower, as the case may be, has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding
applicable Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the Total U.S. Revolver
Outstandings or the Total Canadian Outstandings, as the case may be, to the U.S.
Revolver Borrowing Base or the Canadian Borrowing Base, as the case may be.

 

5.3.                            [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

5.4.                            Payment of Other Obligations.  Obligations other
than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid
by Borrowers (subject to Section 4.5) as provided in the Loan Documents or, if
no payment date is specified, on demand made to the applicable Borrowers.

 

5.5.                            Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.  None of Agents
or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any
Obligor or against any Obligations.  If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers
is made to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds
of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the
extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and
all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred.

 

5.6.                            Application and Allocation of Payments.

 

5.6.1.                                     Application.  Payments made by
Borrowers hereunder shall be applied (a) first, as specifically required hereby;
(b) second, to Obligations then due and owing; (b) third, to other Obligations
specified by Borrowers; and (c) fourth, as determined by the Administrative
Agent in its discretion.

 

5.6.2.                                     Post-Default Allocation. 
Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event
of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from
payments by Obligors, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be
allocated, subject to Section 4.5, as follows:

 

55

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

(a)                                 first, to all fees, indemnification, costs
and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to any Agent;

 

(b)                                 second, to all amounts owing to any Agent on
Swingline Loans, Overadvances, Protective Advances, and Loans and participations
that a Defaulting Lender has failed to settle or fund;

 

(c)                                  third, to all amounts owing to Issuing
Bank;

 

(d)                                 fourth, to all Obligations (other than
Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting fees, indemnification, costs or
expenses owing to Lenders;

 

(e)                                  fifth, to all Obligations (other than
Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting interest;

 

(f)                                   sixth, to Cash Collateralize all LC
Obligations;

 

(g)                                  seventh, to all Loans (other than
Overadvances and Protective Advances), and to Qualified Secured Bank Product
Obligations to the extent a Bank Product Reserve has been established with
respect thereto up to and including the amount most recently specified to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, if applicable; and

 

(h)                                 last, to all other Obligations.

 

Amounts shall be applied to payment of each category of Obligations only after
Full Payment of amounts payable from time to time under all preceding
categories.  If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be
paid ratably among outstanding Obligations in the category.  Monies and proceeds
obtained from an Obligor shall not be applied to its Excluded Swap Obligations,
but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to amounts obtained from
other Obligors to preserve the allocations in any applicable category.  Amounts
distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified
Secured Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of (i) the maximum Secured
Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, as the
case may be, last reported to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, and
(ii) the actual Secured Bank Product Obligations or Qualified Secured Bank
Product Obligations, as the case may be, as calculated by the methodology
reported to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, for determining the amount
due. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount
to be distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations or
Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably
detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Bank Product
Provider.  If the provider fails to deliver the calculation within five days
following request, the Administrative Agent may assume the amount is zero.  The
allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and
priorities among Secured Parties, and may be changed by agreement of the
affected Secured Parties, without the consent of any Obligor.  This Section is
not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Obligor, and each Borrower
irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or
Collateral proceeds subject to this Section.

 

5.6.3.                                     Erroneous Application. No Agent shall
be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any
such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole
recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been
made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it
(and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to
return it).

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

5.7.                            Application of Payments.  While a Trigger Event
is in effect, the ledger balance in the main Dominion Account for the Obligors
(other than the Canadian Borrower) as of the end of a Business Day shall be
applied to the Obligations and the ledger balance in the main Dominion Account
for the Canadian Borrower as of the end of such Business Day shall be applied to
the Canadian Obligations, in each case at the beginning of the next Business
Day.  If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance
shall not accrue interest in favor of U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, as
the case may be, and shall be made available to U.S. Borrowers or Canadian
Borrower, as the case may be, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists. 
Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any
payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that each Agent shall have the
continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the applicable
Obligations, in such manner as such Agent deems advisable.

 

5.8.                            Loan Account; Account Stated.

 

5.8.1.                                     Loan Account.  The Applicable Agent
shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account
or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers resulting from
each Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit from time to time.  Any failure of
such Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so,
shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any
amount owing hereunder.

 

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

 

5.9.                            Taxes.

 

5.9.1.                                     Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to
Withhold; Tax Payment.

 

(a)                                 All payments of Obligations by Obligors
shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required
by Applicable Law.  If Applicable Law (as determined by the Applicable Agent in
its good faith discretion) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from
any such payment by an Agent or an Obligor, then the Applicable Agent or such
Obligor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding based on
information and documentation provided pursuant to Section 5.10.

 

(b)                                 If any Agent or any Obligor is required by
the Code to withhold or deduct Taxes, including backup withholding and
withholding taxes, from any payment, then (i) such Agent shall pay the full
amount that it determines is to be withheld or deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority pursuant to the Code, and (ii) to the extent the
withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum
payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that the
Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been made.

 

(c)                                  If any Agent or any Obligor is required by
any Applicable Law other than the Code to withhold or deduct Taxes from any
payment, then (i) such Agent or such Obligor, to the extent required by
Applicable Law, shall timely pay the full amount to be withheld or deducted to
the relevant Governmental Authority, and (ii) to the extent the withholding or
deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the
applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that the

 

57

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been made.

 

5.9.2.                                     Payment of Other Taxes.  Without
limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the Applicable Agent’s
option, timely reimburse such Agent for payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

5.9.3.                                     Tax Indemnification.

 

(a)                                 Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold
harmless, on a joint and several basis, each Recipient against any Indemnified
Taxes (including those imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) payable or paid by a Recipient or required to be withheld or
deducted from a payment to a Recipient, and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority.  Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Applicable Agent against any amount that a Lender or Issuing Bank
fails for any reason to pay indefeasibly to such Agent as required pursuant to
this Section.  Each Borrower shall make payment within ten (10) days after
demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section.  A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender or
Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Applicable Agent), or by the Applicable Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of any Recipient, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

 

(b)                                 Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify
and hold harmless, on a several basis, (i) the Applicable Agent against any
Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the
extent Borrowers have not already paid or reimbursed such Agent therefor and
without limiting Borrowers’ obligation to do so), (ii) Agents and Obligors, as
applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to maintain
a Participant register as required hereunder, and (iii) Agents and Obligors, as
applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing
Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by an Agent or an Obligor in
connection with any Obligations, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  Each Lender
and Issuing Bank shall make payment within ten (10) days after demand for any
amount or liability payable under this Section.  A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the
Applicable Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

5.9.4.                                     Evidence of Payments.  If an Agent or
an Obligor pays any Taxes pursuant to this Section, then upon request, such
Agent shall deliver to Borrower Agent or Borrower Agent shall deliver to such
Agent, as applicable, a copy of a receipt issued by the appropriate Governmental
Authority evidencing the payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable
Law to report the payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory
to such Agent or Borrower Agent, as applicable.

 

5.9.5.                                     Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless
required by Applicable Law, at no time shall any Agent have any obligation to
file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, nor have any
obligation to pay to any Lender or Issuing Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or
deducted from funds paid for the account of a Lender or Issuing Bank.  If a
Recipient determines in its discretion that it has received a refund of any
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which
a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay
Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers with respect to the
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including
Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),
provided that

 

58

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

Borrowers agree, upon request by the Recipient, to repay the amount paid over to
Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Recipient if the Recipient is required to repay
such refund to the Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, no Recipient shall be required to pay any amount to Borrowers if
such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and
giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed
and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax
had never been paid.  In no event shall any Agent or any Recipient be required
to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it
deems confidential) available to any Obligor or other Person.

 

5.9.6.                                     Survival.  Each party’s obligations
under Sections 5.9 and 5.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any
Agent or any assignment of rights by or replacement of a Lender or Issuing Bank,
the termination of the U.S. Revolver Commitments, the Canadian Commitments and
the repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.

 

5.10.                     Lender Tax Information.

 

5.10.1.                              Status of Lenders.  Any Lender that is
entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments of Obligations shall deliver to Borrowers and the Applicable Agent
properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers
or such Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced
rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by
Borrowers or the Applicable Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or such Agent
to enable them to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
documentation (other than documentation described in Sections 5.10.2(a), (b) and
(d)) shall not be required if a Lender reasonably believes delivery of the
documentation would subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or
would materially prejudice its legal or commercial position.

 

5.10.2.                              Documentation.  Without limiting the
foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person,

 

(a)                                 Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall
deliver to Borrowers and the Applicable Agent on or prior to the date on which
such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon
reasonable request of Borrowers or such Agent), executed originals of IRS
Form W-9, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding Tax;

 

(b)                                 Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it
is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and the Applicable Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the
date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to
time thereafter upon reasonable request of Borrowers or such Agent), whichever
of the following is applicable:

 

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

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

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

 

(iii)                               in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the
benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
Code, (x) a certificate in form satisfactory to the Applicable Agent to the
effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (“U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”), and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as
applicable; or

 

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

 

(c)                                  any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it
is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and the Applicable Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the
date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to
time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or such Agent),
executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for
claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly
completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed
by Applicable Law to permit Borrowers or such Agent to determine the withholding
or deduction required to be made; and

 

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

 

5.10.3.                              Redelivery of Documentation.  If any form
or certification previously delivered by a Lender pursuant to this
Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender
shall promptly update the form or certification or notify Borrowers and the
Applicable Agent in writing of its inability to do so.

 

5.11.                     Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

 

5.11.1.                              Joint and Several Liability.  Each U.S.
Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees to Agents and Secured Parties the prompt payment and
performance of, all Obligations, except its Excluded Swap Obligations, and all
agreements under the Loan Documents.  Each U.S. Borrower agrees that its
guaranty obligations

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection,
that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the
Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability,
subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or
Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any
Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to
enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or
any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by any Agent or any Secured Party
with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to
perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the
Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by any Agent or any
Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release of any security or
guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by any Agent or
any Secured Party in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of
Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien
by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of any Agent or
any Secured Party against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under
Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or
circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Obligations.

 

5.11.2.                              Waivers.

 

(a)                                 Each U.S. Borrower expressly waives all
rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law,
in equity or otherwise, to compel Agents or Secured Parties to marshal assets or
to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or
performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against
such Borrower.  Each U.S. Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety,
guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Obligations
and waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to revoke any
guaranty of any Obligations as long as it is a Borrower.  It is agreed among
each U.S. Borrower, Agents and Secured Parties that the provisions of this
Section 5.11 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan
Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agents and Secured Parties would
decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit.  Each U.S. Borrower
acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the
conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such
business.

 

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Agents and Secured Parties may, in their
discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including
realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or
enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.11. 
If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or
remedies, any Agent or any Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or
remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any
Borrower or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to
“election of remedies” or otherwise, each U.S. Borrower consents to such action
and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any
rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had.  Any election
of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of any Agent or
any Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not
impair any U.S. Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the
Obligations.  Each U.S. Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of
an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any
security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys
such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person.  The Applicable
Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure, trustee’s
or other sale, including any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not
be paid by such Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations.  The amount
of the successful bid at any such sale, whether any Agent or any other Person is
the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value
of the

Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance
of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the
Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.11, notwithstanding that any present
or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of
any deficiency claim to which any Agent or any Secured Party might otherwise be
entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

 

5.11.3.                              Extent of Liability; Contribution.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, each U.S. Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.11 shall be
limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such U.S. Borrower is
primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such U.S. Borrower’s Allocable
Amount.

 

(b)                                 If any U.S. Borrower makes a payment under
this Section 5.11 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower
is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other
Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other U.S. Borrower,
exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each U.S.
Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments
in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total
Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to
receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by,
each other U.S. Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon
their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor
Payment.  The “Allocable Amount” for any U.S. Borrower shall be the maximum
amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 5.11
without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code
or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar
statute or common law.

 

(c)                                  Section 5.11.3(a) shall not limit the
liability of any Borrower to pay or guarantee Loans made directly or indirectly
to it (including Loans advanced hereunder to any other Person and then re-loaned
or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC
Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support its business,
Secured Bank Product Obligations incurred to support its business, and all
accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect
thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes
hereunder.  Agents and Secured Parties shall have the right, at any time in
their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate
calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the
disbursement and use of Loans and Letters of Credit to a Borrower based on that
calculation.

 

(d)                                 Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP when
its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes
effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified
Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified
Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan
Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the
maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering
such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 5.11
voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act).  The
obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall
remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations.  Each
Obligor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to
constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other
agreement” for the benefit of, each Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity
Exchange Act.

 

5.11.4.                              Joint Enterprise.  Each Borrower has
requested that Agents and Secured Parties make this credit facility available to
Borrowers on a combined basis in order to finance Borrowers’ business most
efficiently and economically.  Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective

enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the
successful performance of the integrated group.  Borrowers believe that
consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each
Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual
advantage.  Borrowers acknowledge that Agents’ and Secured Parties’ willingness
to extend credit and to administer the Collateral of Borrowers on a combined
basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at
Borrowers’ request.

 

5.11.5.                              Subordination.  Each Borrower (including
Canadian Borrower) hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law
or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification or setoff, that it may have at any time against any other
Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Obligations.

(g)                                  Solely with respect to a request of Loans
in Canadian Dollars or the issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account or

currency exchange rates or exchange controls that in the reasonable opinion of
the Canadian Agent, the Required Lenders (in the case of any Loans to be
denominated in Canadian Dollars) or the applicable Issuing Bank (in the case of
any Letter of Credit to be denominated in Canadian Dollars) would make it
impracticable for such credit extension to be denominated in Canadian Dollars.

 

Each request (or deemed request) by Borrowers for funding of a Loan, issuance of

7.2.                            Lien on Deposit Accounts; Cash Collateral.

 

7.2.1.                                     Deposit Accounts.  To further secure
the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, each U.S. Borrower hereby
grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing
security interest in and Lien upon all amounts credited to any Deposit Account
of such U.S. Borrower that constitutes Collateral, including any sums in any
blocked or lockbox accounts or in any accounts into which such sums are swept. 
Each U.S. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each bank or other depository
to deliver to Administrative Agent, upon request while a Trigger Event is in
effect, all balances in any Deposit Account maintained by such U.S. Borrower
that constitutes Collateral, without inquiry into the authority or right of
Administrative Agent to make such request.

 

7.2.2.                                     Cash Collateral.  Any Cash Collateral
may be invested, at Administrative Agent’s discretion (and with the consent of
U.S. Borrowers, as long as no Event of Default exists), but Administrative Agent
shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing
with any U.S. Borrower, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or
loss.  Each U.S. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of Secured Parties and as security for the Obligations, a security interest in
all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, whether
held in a Cash Collateral Account or otherwise.  Administrative Agent may apply
Cash Collateral to the payment of Obligations as they become due, in such order
as Administrative Agent may elect.  Each Cash Collateral Account and all Cash
Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of Administrative Agent,
and no Borrower or other Person shall have any right to any Cash Collateral,
until Full Payment of all Obligations.

7.4.                            Other Collateral.

 

7.4.1.                                     Commercial Tort Claims.  U.S.
Borrowers shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing if any U.S.
Borrower has a Commercial Tort Claim that constitutes Collateral (other than, as
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less
than U.S.$1,000,000), shall promptly supplement Schedule 9.1.16 to include such
claim, and shall take such actions as Administrative Agent deems appropriate to
subject such claim to a duly perfected, first priority Lien in favor of
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties).

 

7.4.2.                                     Certain After-Acquired Collateral. 
U.S. Borrowers shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing if, after
the Closing Date, any U.S. Borrower obtains any interest in any Collateral
consisting of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper,
Documents, Instruments, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights and, upon
Administrative Agent’s request, shall promptly take such actions as
Administrative Agent deems appropriate to effect Administrative Agent’s duly
perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral, including obtaining any
appropriate possession, control agreement or Lien Waiver.  If any Collateral is
in the possession of a third party, at Administrative Agent’s request, U.S.
Borrowers shall obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the
Collateral for the benefit of Administrative Agent.

 

7.5.                            Limitations.  The Lien on Collateral granted
hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject any Agent or any
Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Borrowers
relating to any Collateral.  In no event shall the grant of any Lien under any
Loan Document secure an Excluded Swap Obligation of the granting Obligor.

 

7.6.                            Further Assurances.  Promptly upon request, U.S.
Borrowers shall deliver such instruments, assignments, or other documents or
agreements, and shall take such actions, as Administrative Agent deems
appropriate under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any
Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement.  Each
U.S. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to file any financing statement
and agrees that any such financing statements may describe the Collateral as
being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater or lesser detail, than as set
forth in Section 7.1.

 

SECTION 8.                         COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

 

8.1.                            Borrowing Base Certificates.  By the 20th day of
each Fiscal Period (or, during any period during which (a) an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing or (b) Aggregate Availability at any time is less
than 10% of the Aggregate Borrowing Base (until such time that Aggregate
Availability equals or exceeds 10% of the Aggregate Borrowing Base for thirty
(30) consecutive days), by the last Business Day of each week), Borrowers shall
deliver to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver
same to Lenders) a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared as of the close of
business of the previous Fiscal Period or week, as the case may be, and at such
other times as Administrative Agent may request.

 

8.2.                            Administration of Accounts.

 

8.2.1.                                     Records and Schedules of Accounts.

reasonably may request.  Each Borrower shall also provide to Administrative
Agent, on or before the 20th day of each Fiscal Period, a detailed aged trial
balance of all Accounts as of the end of the preceding Fiscal Period, specifying
each Account’s Account Debtor name and address, amount, invoice date and due
date, showing any discount, allowance, credit, authorized return or dispute, and
including such proof of delivery, copies of invoices and invoice registers,
copies of related documents, repayment histories, status reports and other
information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.  If Eligible
Accounts shown on any such aged trial balance in an aggregate face amount of
U.S.$4,000,000 or more cease to be Eligible Accounts, Borrowers shall notify
Administrative Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within three
Business Days) after any Borrower has knowledge thereof.

 

8.2.2.                                     Taxes.  If an Account of any Obligor
includes a charge for any unpaid Taxes, each Agent is authorized, in its
discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the
account of such Obligor and to charge Obligors therefor; provided, however, that
no Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from
Obligors or with respect to any Collateral.

 

8.2.3.                                     Account Verification.  Regardless of
whether a Default or Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall have
the right at any time, in the name of Administrative Agent, any designee of
Administrative Agent or any Obligor, to verify the validity, amount or any other
matter relating to any Accounts of Obligors by mail, telephone or otherwise. 
Borrowers shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, cooperate fully with
Administrative Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such
verification process.

 

8.2.4.                                     Maintenance of Dominion Account. 
Borrowers shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, maintain Dominion
Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements acceptable to Agents. 
Borrowers shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, obtain an agreement (in
form and substance satisfactory to the Applicable Agent) from each lockbox
servicer and Dominion Account bank, to the extent necessary to establish the
Applicable Agent’s control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account,
which may be exercised by the Applicable Agent at any time while a Trigger Event
is in effect, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the
lockbox to a Dominion Account, and waiving offset rights of such servicer or
bank, except for customary administrative charges.  If a Dominion Account is not
maintained with Bank of America, the Applicable Agent may, at any time while a
Trigger Event is in effect, require immediate transfer of all funds in such
account to a Dominion Account maintained with Bank of America.  Agents and
Lenders assume no responsibility to Obligors for any lockbox arrangement or
Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with
respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

 

8.2.5.                                     Proceeds of Collateral.  Borrowers
shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, request in writing and otherwise
take all necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise
relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox
relating to a Dominion Account) or a Deposit Account that is subject to a
Deposit Account Control Agreement.  If any Borrower or Subsidiary receives cash
or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold same in trust for
the Applicable Agent and promptly (not later than the next Business Day) deposit
same into a Dominion Account or a Deposit Account that is subject to a Deposit
Account Control Agreement.

 

8.3.                            Administration of Inventory.

 

8.3.1.                                     Records and Reports of Inventory. 
Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, keep accurate and
complete records of its Inventory, including costs and daily withdrawals and
additions, and shall submit to Administrative Agent inventory and reconciliation
reports in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, on such periodic basis as
Administrative Agent reasonably may request, but at least once during each
Fiscal Period, not later than the twentieth (20th) day of such

Fiscal Period.  Each Borrower shall conduct a physical inventory at least once
per calendar year (and on a more frequent basis if requested by Administrative
Agent when an Event of Default exists) and periodic cycle counts consistent with
historical practices, and shall provide to Administrative Agent a report based
on each such inventory and count promptly upon completion thereof, together with
such supporting information as Administrative Agent may request.  Administrative
Agent may participate in and observe each physical count.

 

8.3.2.                                     Returns of Inventory.  No Borrower or
Obligor shall return any Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other Person,
whether for cash, credit or otherwise, unless (a) such return is in the Ordinary
Course of Business; (b) no Default, Event of Default, U.S. Revolver Overadvance
or Canadian Overadvance exists or would result therefrom; (c) Administrative
Agent is promptly notified if the aggregate Value of all Inventory (i) returned
to a supplier, vendor or other Person in any Fiscal Period exceeds
U.S.$1,000,000 in the aggregate or (ii) returned to all suppliers, vendors and
other Persons in any Fiscal Period exceeds U.S.$4,000,000 in the aggregate; and
(d) while a Trigger Event is in effect, any payment received by an Obligor for a
return is promptly remitted to the Applicable Agent for application to the
applicable Obligations.

 

8.3.3.                                     Acquisition, Sale and Maintenance. 
No Borrower shall, and each Borrower shall cause each other Obligor not to,
acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval, and shall take all
steps to assure that all Inventory is produced in accordance with Applicable Law
in all material respects, including the FLSA.  No Borrower shall, and each
Borrower shall cause each other Obligor not to, sell any Inventory on
consignment or approval or any other basis under which the customer may return
or require a Borrower or other Obligor to repurchase such Inventory.  Borrowers
shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, use, store and maintain all
Inventory with reasonable care and caution, in accordance with applicable
standards of any insurance and in conformity with all Applicable Law, and shall
make current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in
leases) at all locations where any Collateral is located.

 

8.4.                            [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

8.5.                            Cash Management; Administration of Deposit
Accounts.  Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, cause
Bank of America to be such Borrower’s or Obligor’s principal U.S. depository
bank and Royal Bank of Canada or Bank of America-Canada Branch to be the
principal Canadian depository bank, including for the maintenance of operating
accounts and Deposit Accounts, lockbox administration, funds transfer,
information reporting services and other treasury management services.  All
Deposit Accounts maintained by Obligors, including all Dominion Accounts, are
set forth on the Perfection Certificates.  Each Borrower shall, and shall cause
each other Obligor to, take all actions necessary to establish the Applicable
Agent’s control of each such Deposit Account (other than (a) an account
exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes or employee benefits, (b) an account
containing not more than U.S.$250,000 at any time, (c) a zero balance account or
(d) that certain account held by the Canadian Borrower at Desjardin Bank as
further described on the Perfection Certificate for the Canadian Borrower;
provided that such account contains not more than CD$1,000,000 at any time and
the funds in such account are swept at least weekly to a Deposit Account held by
the Canadian Borrower that is subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement) by
causing, to the extent necessary, each institution maintaining any such Deposit
Account for an Obligor to enter into a Deposit Account Control Agreement.  Each
Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, be the sole account
holder of each Deposit Account of such Obligor and shall not allow any other
Person (other than the Applicable Agent) to have control over a Deposit Account
or any Property deposited therein.  Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each
other Obligor to, promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any opening or
closing of a Deposit Account and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent,
will amend the applicable Perfection Certificate to reflect same.

portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

8.6.                            General Provisions.

 

8.6.1.                                     Location of Collateral.  All tangible
items of Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, shall at all times be kept
by Borrowers at the business locations set forth in Schedule 8.6.1, except that
Borrowers may (a) make sales or other dispositions of Collateral in accordance
with Section 10.2.6; (b) store Collateral with an aggregate value not to exceed
$100,000 at any temporary location for a period not to exceed 90 days for
purposes of conducting, in the Ordinary Course of Business, discount sales with
respect to such Collateral; provided that the aggregate value of all Collateral
located at all such temporary locations, together with (i) the aggregate value
of all Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) located at temporary
locations in accordance with Section 3.1.1 of the Security Agreement and
(ii) the aggregate value of all Collateral (as defined in the Canadian Security
Agreement) located at temporary locations in accordance with Section 3.1.1 of
the Canadian Security Agreement, shall not exceed $400,000 at any time; and
(c) move Collateral to another location in the United States or Canada, upon 30
Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent.

 

8.6.2.                                     Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation
Proceeds.

 

(a)                                 Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each
other Obligor to, maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral, covering
casualty, hazard, theft, malicious mischief, flood and other risks, in amounts,
with endorsements and with insurers (with a Best rating of at least A+, unless
otherwise approved by Administrative Agent in its discretion) satisfactory to
Administrative Agent.  All proceeds with respect to Collateral under each policy
shall be payable to the Applicable Agent.  From time to time upon request,
Borrowers shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to, deliver to
Administrative Agent the originals or certified copies of its insurance policies
and updated flood plain searches.  Unless the Applicable Agent shall agree
otherwise, each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing the
Applicable Agent as loss payee; (ii) requiring 30 days’ prior written notice to
the Applicable Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason
whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of Applicable Agent shall not
be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Obligor or the owner of
the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous
than are permitted by the policy.  If any Obligor fails to provide and pay for
any insurance, each Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to,
procure the insurance and charge Borrowers therefor.  Each Borrower agrees to
deliver, and shall cause each other Obligor to deliver, to Applicable Agent,
promptly as rendered, copies of all reports made to insurance companies.  While
no Event of Default exists, Obligors may settle, adjust or compromise any
insurance claim, as long as the proceeds of any insurance with respect to
Collateral are delivered to Applicable Agent.  If an Event of Default exists,
only Agents shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

 

(b)                                 Any proceeds of insurance with respect to
Collateral and any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral shall be
paid to Applicable Agent.  Any such proceeds or awards that relate to Inventory
shall be applied to payment of the U.S. Revolver Loans (to the extent such
Inventory is owned by the U.S. Borrowers) or the Canadian Loans (to the extent
such Inventory is owned by the Canadian Borrower), and then to any other
Obligations outstanding.

 

8.6.3.                                     Protection of Collateral.  All
expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining
and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral
(including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by any
Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by
Borrowers.  No Agent shall be liable or responsible in any way for the
safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for
reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in such Agent’s actual
possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default
of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but
the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk.

8.6.4.                                     Defense of Title to Collateral.  Each
Borrower shall at all times defend its title to Collateral and each Agent’s
Liens therein against all Persons, claims and demands whatsoever, except
Permitted Liens.

 

8.7.                            Power of Attorney.  Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints each Agent (and all Persons designated by
any Agent) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for
the purposes provided in this Section.  Each Agent, or each Agent’s designees,
may, without notice and in either its or a Borrower’s name, but at the cost and
expense of Borrowers:

 

(a)                                 Endorse a Borrower’s name on any Payment
Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come
into such Agent’s possession or control; and

 

(b)                                 During the continuance of an Event of
Default, (i) notify any Account Debtors of the assignment of their Accounts,
demand and enforce payment of Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and
generally exercise any rights and remedies with respect to Accounts;
(ii) settle, adjust, modify, compromise, discharge or release any Accounts or
other Collateral, or any legal proceedings brought to collect Accounts or
Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any Accounts and other Collateral upon such
terms, for such amounts and at such times as such Agent deems advisable;
(iv) collect, liquidate and receive balances in Deposit Accounts or investment
accounts, and take control, in any manner, of proceeds of Collateral;
(v) prepare, file and sign a Borrower’s name to a proof of claim or other
document in a bankruptcy of an Account Debtor, or to any notice, assignment or
satisfaction of Lien or similar document; (vi) receive, open and dispose of mail
addressed to a Borrower that comes into the possession of such Agent;
(vii) endorse any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, bill of lading, or other
document or agreement relating to any Accounts, Inventory or other Collateral;
(viii) use a Borrower’s stationery and sign its name to verifications of
Accounts and notices to Account Debtors; (ix) use information contained in any
data processing, electronic or information systems relating to Collateral;
(x) make and adjust claims under insurance policies covering Collateral;
(xi) take any action as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain payment under
any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or other instrument for which a
Borrower is a beneficiary; and (xii) take all other actions as such Agent deems
appropriate to fulfill any Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 9.                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

9.1.                            General Representations and Warranties.  To
induce Agents and Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make available the
U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian Commitments, Loans and Letters of Credit,
Borrowers represent and warrant that:

 

9.1.1.                                     Organization and Qualification.  Each
Borrower and Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.  Each Borrower and
Subsidiary is duly qualified, authorized to do business and in good standing as
a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as applicable,
in each jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

9.1.2.                                     Power and Authority.  Each Obligor is
duly authorized to execute, deliver and perform its Loan Documents.  The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly
authorized by all necessary action, and do not (a) require any consent or
approval of any holders of Equity Interests of any Obligor, other than those
already obtained; (b) contravene the Organic Documents of any Obligor;
(c) violate or cause a default under any Applicable Law or Material Contract; or
(d) result in or require the imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens)
on any Property of any Obligor.

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

9.1.3.                                     Enforceability.  Each Loan Document
is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor party thereto,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

 

9.1.4.                                     Capital Structure.  Schedule 9.1.4
shows, as of the Closing Date, for each Borrower and Subsidiary, its name, its
jurisdiction of organization, its authorized and issued Equity Interests, the
holders of its Equity Interests (other than with respect to UNFI), and all
agreements binding on such holders with respect to their Equity Interests. 
Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.4, in the five years preceding the Closing
Date, no Borrower or Subsidiary has acquired all or substantially all of the
assets of any other Person nor been the surviving entity in a merger,
amalgamation or combination.  Each Borrower has good title to its Equity
Interests in its Subsidiaries, and all such Equity Interests are duly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.  There are no outstanding purchase options,
warrants, subscription rights, agreements to issue or sell, convertible
interests, phantom rights or powers of attorney relating to Equity Interests of
any Borrower (other than UNFI) or any Subsidiary.

 

9.1.5.                                     Title to Properties; Priority of
Liens.  Each Borrower and Subsidiary has good and marketable title to (or valid
leasehold interests in) all of its Real Estate, and good title to all of its
material personal Property, including all Property reflected in any financial
statements delivered to Administrative Agent or Lenders, in each case free of
Liens except Permitted Liens.  Each Borrower and Subsidiary has paid and
discharged all lawful claims that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its
Properties, other than Permitted Liens.  All Liens of the Applicable Agent in
the Collateral are duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to
Permitted Liens that are expressly allowed to have priority over the Applicable
Agent’s Liens.

 

9.1.6.                                     Accounts.  Administrative Agent may
rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and
representations made by Borrowers with respect thereto.  Borrowers warrant, with
respect to each Account at the time it is shown as an Eligible Account in a
Borrowing Base Certificate, that:

 

(a)                                 it is genuine and in all respects what it
purports to be, and is not evidenced by a judgment;

 

(b)                                 it arises out of a completed, bona fide sale
and delivery of goods or rendition of services in the Ordinary Course of
Business, and substantially in accordance with any purchase order, contract or
other document relating thereto;

 

(c)                                  it is for a sum certain, maturing as stated
in the invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a copy of which has
been furnished or is available to Administrative Agent on request;

 

(d)                                 it is not subject to any offset, Lien (other
than Applicable Agent’s Lien), deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim or
other adverse condition except as arising in the Ordinary Course of Business and
disclosed to Administrative Agent; and it is absolutely owing by the Account
Debtor, without contingency in any respect;

 

(e)                                  no purchase order, agreement, document or
Applicable Law restricts assignment of the Account to any Agent (regardless of
whether, under the UCC or PPSA, as applicable, the restriction is ineffective),
and the applicable Borrower is the sole payee or remittance party shown on the
invoice;

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

(f)                                   no extension, compromise, settlement,
modification, credit, deduction or return has been authorized with respect to
the Account, except discounts or allowances granted in the Ordinary Course of
Business for prompt payment that are reflected on the face of the invoice
related thereto and in the reports submitted to Administrative Agent hereunder;
and

 

(g)                                  to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge,
(i) there are no facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to impair the
enforceability or collectibility of such Account; (ii) the Account Debtor had
the capacity to contract when the Account arose, continues to meet the
applicable Borrower’s customary credit standards, is Solvent, is not
contemplating or subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, and has not failed, or
suspended or ceased doing business; and (iii) there are no proceedings or
actions threatened or pending against any Account Debtor that could reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Account Debtor’s financial
condition.

 

9.1.7.                                     Financial Statements.  The
consolidated balance sheets, and related statements of income, cash flow and
shareholder’s equity, of Borrowers and Subsidiaries that have been and are
hereafter delivered to Administrative Agent and Lenders, are prepared in
accordance with GAAP, and at the time of delivery fairly present the financial
positions and results of operations of Borrowers and Subsidiaries at the dates
and for the periods indicated (in the case of interim statements, subject to
year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes).  All projections delivered
from time to time to Administrative Agent and Lenders have been prepared in good
faith, based on assumptions believed by the management of Borrowers to be
reasonable in light of the circumstances at the time of preparation.  Since
August 1, 2015, there has been no change in the condition, financial or
otherwise, of any Borrower or Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.  No financial statement at any time delivered to
Administrative Agent or Lenders contains any untrue statement of a material
fact, nor fails to disclose any material fact necessary to make such statement
not materially misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made.  The Borrowers and the other Obligors are Solvent.

 

9.1.8.                                     Surety Obligations.  No Borrower or
Subsidiary is obligated as surety or indemnitor under any bond or other contract
that assures payment or performance of any obligation of any other Person,
except as permitted hereunder.

 

9.1.9.                                     Taxes.  Each Borrower and Subsidiary
has (a) filed all federal, state, provincial and local tax returns and other
reports that it is required by law to file, except for any tax returns and
reports relating to taxes (i) the amount of which, individually or in the
aggregate, is not material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of
which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
with respect to which such Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, has
established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP, and (b) paid, or made
provision for the payment of, all Taxes upon it, its income and its Properties
that are due and payable, except to the extent being Properly Contested.  The
provision for Taxes on the books of each Borrower and Subsidiary is adequate for
all years not closed by applicable statutes, and for its current Fiscal Year.

 

9.1.10.                              Brokers.  There are no brokerage
commissions, finder’s fees or investment banking fees payable in connection with
any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

 

9.1.11.                              Intellectual Property.  Each Borrower and
Subsidiary owns or has the lawful right to use all Intellectual Property
necessary for the conduct of its business, without conflict with any rights of
others that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
There is no pending or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened Intellectual
Property Claim with respect to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their
Property (including any Intellectual Property) that could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.11, no
Borrower or

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The

Subsidiary pays or owes any Royalty or other compensation to any Person with
respect to any Intellectual Property, other than de minimis amounts.  All
Intellectual Property owned by any Borrower or Subsidiary on the Closing Date is
shown on Schedule 9.1.11.

 

9.1.12.                              Governmental Approvals.  Each Borrower and
Subsidiary has, is in compliance with, and is in good standing with respect to,
all applicable Governmental Approvals necessary to conduct its business and to
own, lease and operate its Properties, except where noncompliance or the failure
to be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  All necessary import, export or other licenses, permits or
certificates for the import or handling of any goods or other Collateral have
been procured and are in effect, and Borrowers and Subsidiaries have complied
with all foreign and domestic laws with respect to the shipment and importation
of any goods or Collateral, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

9.1.13.                              Compliance with Laws.  Each Borrower and
Subsidiary has duly complied, and its Properties and business operations are in
compliance, in all material respects with all Applicable Law, except where
noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  There have been no citations, notices or orders of noncompliance issued
to any Borrower or Subsidiary under any Applicable Law, except where such
noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  No Inventory has been produced in violation of the FLSA.

 

9.1.14.                              Compliance with Environmental Laws.  Except
as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.14, no Borrower’s or Subsidiary’s past or present
operations, Real Estate or other Properties are subject to any pending (or, to
the knowledge of any Borrower or Subsidiary, threatened) federal, state,
provincial, territorial or local investigation to determine whether any remedial
action is needed to address any environmental pollution, hazardous material or
environmental clean-up.  No Borrower or Subsidiary has received any
Environmental Notice.  No Borrower or Subsidiary has any contingent liability
with respect to any Environmental Release, environmental pollution or hazardous
material on any Real Estate now or previously owned, leased or operated by it,
if the same could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

9.1.15.                              Burdensome Contracts.  No Borrower or
Subsidiary is a party or subject to any contract, agreement or charter
restriction that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  No Borrower or Subsidiary is party or subject to any Restrictive
Agreement, except as shown on Schedule 9.1.15.  No such Restrictive Agreement
prohibits the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document by an
Obligor.

 

9.1.16.                              Litigation.  Except as shown on Schedule
9.1.16, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to any Borrower’s
knowledge, threatened against any Borrower or Subsidiary, or any of their
businesses, operations, Properties or condition (financial or otherwise), that
(a) relate to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby; or
(b) could reasonably be expected to be determined adversely to such Borrower or
Subsidiary, and if so determined, to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as
shown on such Schedule or otherwise disclosed to the Administrative Agent in
writing, no Obligor has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no
Default or Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than
U.S.$1,000,000).  No Borrower or Subsidiary is in default with respect to any
order, injunction or judgment of any Governmental Authority.

 

9.1.17.                              No Defaults.  No event or circumstance has
occurred or exists that constitutes a Default or Event of Default.  No Borrower
or Subsidiary is in default, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists
that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a default,
under any Material Contract if such default could reasonably be expected to
result in a termination of such Material

Contract prior to the time that it otherwise would terminate in the absence of
such default.  There is no basis upon which any party (other than a Borrower or
Subsidiary) could terminate a Material Contract prior to its scheduled
termination date.

 

9.1.18.                              ERISA; Canadian Plans.  Except as disclosed
on Schedule 9.1.18:

 

(a)                                 No Obligor has any Plan.  Each Plan is in
compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the
Code, and other federal and state laws except to the extent any such
noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code
has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an application for
such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and,
to the knowledge of Borrowers, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or
cause the loss of, such qualification, in each case except to the extent the
failure to obtain such determination letter, make application therefor or retain
such qualification could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  Each Obligor and ERISA Affiliate has in all material respects met all
applicable requirements under the Code, ERISA and the Pension Protection Act of
2006, and no application for a waiver of the minimum funding standards or an
extension of any amortization period has been made with respect to any Plan,
except to the extent such events or circumstances could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)                                 There are no pending or, to the knowledge of
Borrowers, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental
Authority, with respect to any Plan or any Canadian Plan that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There has been no prohibited
transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to
any Plan or any prohibited investment transaction or violation of any duty of an
administrator with respect to any Canadian Plan that has resulted in or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)                                  (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is
reasonably expected to occur; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension
Liability; (iii) no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably
expects to incur, any material liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to
any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007
of ERISA); (iv) no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably
expects to incur, any material liability (and no event has occurred which, with
the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such
liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer
Plan; (v) no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could
be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) as of the most recent
valuation date for any Pension Plan, the funding target attainment percentage
(as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is at least 60%, and no Obligor or
ERISA Affiliate knows of any fact or circumstance that could reasonably be
expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to
drop below 60% as of such date, except to the extent such events or
circumstances could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(d)                                 Each Canadian Plan, other than a Canadian
MEPP (and, to the knowledge of the Canadian Borrower and its Subsidiaries, each
Canadian Plan that is a Canadian MEPP) is administered in compliance in all
material respects with Applicable Laws.  Each Canadian Plan, other than a
Canadian MEPP (and, to the knowledge of the Canadian Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, each Canadian Plan that is a Canadian MEPP) that is intended to
qualify for tax-preferred status is, to the extent applicable, duly registered
under applicable pension standards laws and the Income Tax Act (Canada), or is
otherwise administered in such a manner as to qualify for such tax-preferred
status, and in all cases, to the knowledge of the Canadian Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of,
such qualification.  The Canadian Borrower and its Subsidiaries have made all
required contributions to each Canadian Plan, and no application for, or
adoption of, solvency funding relief

Fund (Ontario)); and (iv) neither the Canadian Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no

employer and employee contributions required by law or by the terms of the
Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance with

funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded
through insurance, or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan,
together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for
the accrued benefit obligations with respect to all current and former
participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and
valuations most recently used to account for such obligations in accordance with
applicable generally accepted accounting principles; and (iii) it has been
registered as required and has been maintained in good standing with applicable
regulatory authorities.

(a) there exists no actual or threatened termination, limitation or modification
of any business relationship between any Borrower or Subsidiary and any customer
or supplier, or any group of customers or suppliers and (b) there exists no
condition or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to impair the
ability of any Borrower or Subsidiary to conduct its business at any time
hereafter in substantially the same manner as conducted on the Closing Date.

union or other organization of any Borrower’s or Subsidiary’s employees, or, to
any Borrower’s knowledge, any asserted or threatened strikes, work stoppages or

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

9.1.21.                              Payable Practices.  No Borrower or
Subsidiary has made any material change in its historical accounts payable
practices from those in effect on the Closing Date.

 

9.1.22.                              Not a Regulated Entity.  No Obligor is
(a) an “investment company” or a “person directly or indirectly controlled by or

Law, in each case regarding its authority to incur Debt.

 

9.1.23.                              Margin Stock.  No Borrower or Subsidiary is
engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of

addition, or if any other Event of Default exists, the Applicable Agent may in
its discretion (and shall upon written direction of Required Lenders) do any one
or more of the following from time to time:

Required Lenders) advance the required Cash Collateral as U.S. Revolver Loans or
Canadian Loans, as applicable (whether or not a U.S. Revolver Overadvance or
Canadian Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in
Section 6 are satisfied); and

 

(d)                                 exercise any other rights or remedies

Each Borrower agrees that 10 days’ notice of any proposed sale or other

equity or otherwise.  All such rights and remedies shall continue in full force
and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations.

 

11.5.2.                              Waivers.  No waiver or course of dealing

Documents (other than any Canadian Security Documents), Applicable Law or
otherwise.  Administrative Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether
any Account or Inventory constitutes an Eligible Account or Eligible Inventory,
whether to impose or release any reserve, or whether any conditions to funding
or to issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account or benefit of any U.S.
Borrower have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments, if exercised
in good faith, shall exonerate Administrative Agent from liability to any
Secured Party or other Person for any error in judgment.

 

(b)                                 Appointment and Authority of Canadian
Agent.  Each Secured Party also appoints and designates Bank of America-Canada
Branch as Canadian Agent under all Loan Documents.  Canadian Agent may, and each
Secured Party authorizes Canadian Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to
which Canadian Agent is intended to be a party and accept all applicable
Security Documents, for the benefit of Secured Parties.  Any action taken by
Canadian Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the
exercise by Canadian Agent of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together
with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and
binding upon all Secured Parties.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Canadian Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (i) act
as the disbursing and collecting agent for Canadian Lenders with respect to all
payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents in
respect of the Canadian Borrower; (ii) execute and deliver as Canadian Agent
each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and
accept delivery of each Loan Document; (iii) act as collateral agent for Secured
Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan
Documents granted by the Canadian Borrower or any Canadian Subsidiary that is a
Foreign Subsidiary, and for all other purposes stated therein; (iv) manage,
supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral consisting of assets of the Canadian
Borrower or any Canadian Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary; and (v) take
any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect
to any Collateral consisting of assets of the Canadian Borrower or any Canadian
Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary or under any Canadian Security Document,
Applicable Law or otherwise.  Canadian Agent alone shall be authorized to
determine whether any conditions to funding or to issuance of a Letter of Credit
for the account or benefit of the Canadian Borrower have been satisfied, which
determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate
Canadian Agent from liability to any Secured Party or other Person for any error
in judgment.

 

12.1.2.                              Duties.  The titles of “Agent,”
“Administrative Agent” and “Canadian Agent” are used solely as a matter of
market custom and the duties of each Agent are administrative in nature only. 
No Agent has any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents,
and in no event does any Agent have any agency, fiduciary or implied duty to or
relationship with any Secured Party or other Person by reason of any Loan
Document or related transaction.  The conferral upon any Agent of any right
shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by
Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

 

12.1.3.                              Agent Professionals.  Agents may perform
their duties through agents and employees.  Agents may consult with and employ
Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully
protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by
an Agent Professional.  No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with
reasonable care.

 

12.1.4.                              Instructions of Required Lenders.  The
rights and remedies conferred upon any Agent under the Loan Documents may be
exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required
by Applicable Law.  In determining compliance with a condition for any action
hereunder, including satisfaction of any condition in Section 6, the Applicable
Agent may presume that the condition is satisfactory to a Secured Party unless
such Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Secured Party before
such Agent takes the action. The Applicable Agent may request instructions

from Required Lenders or other Secured Parties (or such other number of Lenders
as may be required) with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in
connection with any Loan Documents or Collateral, and may seek assurances to its
satisfaction from Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against
Claims that could be incurred by such Agent.  Each Agent may refrain from any
act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and shall not incur
liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.  Instructions of Required
Lenders (or such other number of Lenders as may be required) shall be binding
upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action
whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from
acting pursuant to instructions of Required Lenders.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to
the extent provided in Section 14.1.1.  In no event shall any Agent be required
to take any action that it determines in its discretion is contrary to
Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to
liability.

 

12.1.5.                              Québec Collateral.

 

(a)                                 For greater certainty, and without limiting
the powers of the Canadian Agent or any other Person acting as mandatary (agent)
of the Canadian Agent, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably
constitutes the Canadian Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney

Québec) in order to hold hypothecs and security granted by any Obligor on
property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec in order to secure
obligations of any Obligor under any bond, debenture or similar title of
indebtedness, issued by any Obligor, and hereby agrees that the Canadian Agent,
may act as the bondholder and mandatary (i.e. agent) with respect to any shares,
capital stock or other securities or any bond, debenture or similar title of
indebtedness that may be issued by any Obligor and pledged in favor of the
Canadian Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The execution by the
Canadian Agent, acting as fondé de pouvoir and mandatary, prior to the Closing
Date, of any deeds of hypothec or other security documents is hereby ratified
and confirmed.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32
of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Québec), the Canadian
Agent may acquire and be the holder of any bond or debenture issued by any
Obligor (i.e. the fondé de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond issued
under any deed of hypothec by any Obligor).

 

(c)                                  The constitution of the Canadian Agent as
fondé de pouvoir and as bondholder and mandatary with respect to any bond,
debenture, shares, capital stock or other securities that may be issued and
pledged from time to time to the Canadian Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by each Person
accepting an assignment of, a participation in or an arrangement in respect of,
all or any portion of any Secured Parties’ rights and obligations under this
Agreement by the execution of an assignment, including an assignment or other
agreement pursuant to which it becomes such assignee or participant, and by each
successor Canadian Agent by the execution of an assignment or other agreement,
or by the compliance with other formalities, as the case may be, pursuant to
which it becomes a successor Canadian Agent under this Agreement.

 

12.1.6.                              The Canadian Agent acting as fondé de
pouvoir shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and
exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Canadian Agent
herein, which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Canadian Agent acting as fondé
de pouvoir.

 

12.2.                     Agreements Regarding Collateral and Borrower
Materials.

 

12.2.1.                              Releases; Care of Collateral.  Secured
Parties authorize the Applicable Agent (a) to release any Lien with respect to
any Collateral (i) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (ii) that is

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

the subject of an Asset Disposition that the Borrowers certify in writing to
Administrative Agent is a Permitted Collateral Disposition or a Lien that the
Borrowers certify is a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over the Applicable
Agent’s Liens (and the Applicable Agent may rely conclusively on any such
certificate without further inquiry); (iii) that does not constitute a material
part of the Collateral; or (iv) subject to Section 14.1, with the consent of all
Required Lenders, and (b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under
the Loan Documents if (i) such Person becomes an Immaterial Subsidiary, or
(ii) such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction
expressly permitted under the Loan Documents.  Secured Parties authorize the
Applicable Agent to subordinate its Liens to any Purchase Money Lien or other
Lien entitled to priority hereunder.  No Agent shall have any obligation to
assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by an Obligor, or is cared for,
protected or insured, nor to assure that the Applicable Agent’s Liens have been
properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular
priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.

 

12.2.2.                              Possession of Collateral.  Agents and
Secured Parties appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured
Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or
controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession
or control.  If any Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it
shall notify Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon Administrative
Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to the Applicable Agent or otherwise
deal with it in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

 

12.2.3.                              Reports.  Administrative Agent shall
promptly provide to Lenders, when complete, any field examination, audit or
appraisal report prepared for any Agent with respect to any Obligor or
Collateral (“Report”).  Reports and other Borrower Materials may be made
available to Lenders by providing access to them on the Platform, but
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for system failures or access
issues that may occur from time to time.  Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports
are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Agent
or any other Person performing an audit or examination will inspect only
specific information regarding the Obligations or Collateral and will rely
significantly upon Borrowers’ books, records and representations; (b) that
Administrative Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or
completeness of any Borrower Materials and shall not be liable for any
information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials, including any
Report; and (c) to keep all Borrower Materials confidential and strictly for
such Lender’s internal use, not to distribute any Report or other Borrower
Materials (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s
Participants, attorneys, accountants and to the extent required or requested by
any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Lender or its
Affiliates), and to use all Borrower Materials solely for administration of the
Obligations.  Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any
other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result
of or any conclusion it may draw from any Borrower Materials, as well as from
any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of Administrative Agent
furnishing same to such Lender, via the Platform or otherwise.

 

12.3.                     Reliance By Agents.  Each Agent shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or
other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or
e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent
or made by the proper Person.  Each Agent shall have a reasonable and
practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other
communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any delay in
acting.

 

12.4.                     Action Upon Default.  No Agent shall be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any
conditions in Section 6, unless it has received written notice from a Borrower
or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof.  If any Lender
acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions,
it shall promptly notify

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing.  Each Secured
Party agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with
the written consent of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, it will not
take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations (other than Secured Bank
Product Obligations), or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under
Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC and PPSA sales or other
similar dispositions of Collateral or to assert any rights relating to any
Collateral.

 

12.5.                     Ratable Sharing.  If any Lender shall obtain any
payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through setoff or otherwise, in
excess of its share of such Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in
accordance with Section 5.6.2, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith
purchase from the Applicable Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank and the other
Applicable Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are
necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or
reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.2, as
applicable.  If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from
the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any
Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the amount thereof to the Applicable
Agent for application under Section 4.2.2 and it shall provide a written
statement to the Applicable Agent describing the Obligation affected by such
payment or reduction.  No Lender shall setoff against any Dominion Account
without the prior consent of the Applicable Agent.

 

12.6.                     Indemnification.  EACH SECURED PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY
AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES AND ISSUING BANK INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT
NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS, ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE
INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THAT ANY CLAIM
AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR ANY
AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF AN AGENT).  In no event shall any Lender have any
obligation to indemnify or hold harmless an Agent Indemnitee or Issuing Bank
Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  In the Applicable Agent’s
discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee or
Issuing Bank Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement
relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution
of Collateral proceeds to Secured Parties.  If any Agent is sued by any
receiver, bankruptcy trustee, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any
alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by such Agent in
settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall
be promptly reimbursed to such Agent by each Secured Party to the extent of its
Pro Rata share.

 

12.7.                     Limitation on Responsibilities of Agents.  No Agent
shall be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken
under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by such
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  No Agent assumes any
responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any
Obligor, Lender or other Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan
Documents.  No Agent makes any express or implied representation, warranty or
guarantee to Secured Parties with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Liens,
Loan Documents or Obligor.  No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured
Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties
contained in any Loan Documents or Borrower Materials; the execution, validity,
genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the
genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or
existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of
any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any
Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of
operations,

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the

business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor.  No
Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or
inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance by
any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any
conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.

 

12.8.                     Successor Agents and Co-Agents.

 

12.8.1.                              Resignation; Successor Agents.  Each Agent
may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ written notice thereof to the
Applicable Lenders and Borrowers.  Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders
shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Canadian
Agent, as the case may be, which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender; or (b) a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders
and (provided no Default or Event of Default exists) Borrowers.  If no successor
agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of
Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, then Administrative Agent or Canadian
Agent may appoint a successor agent that is a financial institution reasonably
acceptable to it, which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role or
in the absence of such appointment, Required Lenders shall on such date assume
all rights and duties of such Agent hereunder.  Upon acceptance by a successor
Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent of its appointment hereunder, such
successor Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent or Canadian Agent without further act, and the retiring Administrative
Agent or Canadian Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder but shall continue to have all rights and protections under the Loan
Documents with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
Agent, including the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.6
and 14.2.  Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this
Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while Administrative Agent or Canadian
Agent.  Any successor to Bank of America or Bank of America-Canada Branch by
merger, amalgamation or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be
Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as the case may be, hereunder without
further act on the part of any Secured Party or Obligor.

 

If the Person serving as Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent is a Defaulting
Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders
may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the
Borrower Agent and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent, as applicable, and, in consultation with the Borrower Agent,
appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30)
days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the
“Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective
in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

 

12.8.2.                              Co-Collateral Agent.  If necessary or
appropriate under Applicable Law, any Agent may appoint a Person to serve as a
co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent under any Loan Document.  Each
right and remedy intended to be available to such Agent under such Loan Document
shall also be vested in such agent.  Secured Parties shall execute and deliver
any instrument or agreement that the Applicable Agent may request to effect such
appointment.  If the agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the
Applicable Agent until appointment of a new agent.

 

12.9.                     Due Diligence and Non-Reliance.  Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and
analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each
Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and
participate in LC

 

95

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

Obligations hereunder.  Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it feels
necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors.  Each Secured
Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no
representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the
legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or
Obligations.  Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon
any other Secured Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and
information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon
its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations,
and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents.  Except
for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, no
Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with
any notices, reports or certificates furnished to such Agent by any Obligor or
any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition,
business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come
into possession of such Agent or its Affiliates.

 

12.10.              Remittance of Payments and Collections.

 

12.10.1.                       Remittances Generally.  All payments by any
Lender to the Applicable Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set
forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds.  If no time for payment
is specified or if payment is due on demand by the Applicable Agent and request
for payment is made by the Applicable Agent by 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day,
payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day, and if
request is made after 11:00 a.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on
the next Business Day.  Payment by any Agent to any Secured Party shall be made
by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by such Agent.  Any such payment
shall be subject to such Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such
payee under the Loan Documents.

 

12.10.2.                       Failure to Pay.  If any Secured Party fails to
pay any amount when due by it to the Applicable Agent pursuant to the terms
hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid in full at
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the rate determined by such Agent as
customary for interbank compensation for two Business Days and thereafter at the
Default Rate for Base Rate Loans.  In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to
receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to any Agent, nor shall
any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by any Agent
pursuant to Section 4.2.

 

12.10.3.                       Recovery of Payments.  If any Agent pays any
amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be
received by such Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received,
then such Agent may recover such amount from each Secured Party that received
it.  If any Agent determines that an amount received by it must be returned or
paid to an Obligor or other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise,
then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, such Agent shall not
be required to distribute such amount to any Secured Party.  If any amounts
received and applied by any Agent to any Obligations are later required to be
returned by such Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to such
Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be
returned.

 

12.11.              Individual Capacities.  As a U.S. Revolver Lender, Bank of
America, and as a Canadian Lender, Bank of America-Canada Branch, each shall
have the same rights and remedies under the Loan Documents as any other U.S.
Revolver Lender or Canadian Lender, as the case may be, and the terms “Lenders,”
“U.S. Revolver Lenders,” “Canadian Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or any similar
term shall include Bank of America in its capacity as a U.S. Revolver Lender and
Bank of America-Canada Branch in its capacity as a Canadian Lender, as the case
may be.  Agents, Lenders and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and
generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as
if they were not Agents or Lenders hereunder, without any duty to account
therefor to any Secured Party.  In their individual capacities,

 

96

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

Agents, Lenders and their Affiliates may receive information regarding Obligors,
their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to
confidentiality obligations), and shall have no obligation to provide such
information to any Secured Party.

 

12.12.              Agent Titles.  Each Lender, other than Bank of America and
Bank of America-Canada Branch, that is designated (on the cover page of this
Agreement or otherwise) by Bank of America as an “Agent,” “Arranger” or
“Bookrunner” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty
under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall
in no event have any fiduciary duty to any Secured Party.

 

12.13.              Bank Product Providers.  Each Secured Bank Product Provider,
by delivery of a notice to Administrative Agent of a Bank Product, agrees to be
bound by the Loan Documents, including Sections 5.6, 14.3.3 and this
Section 12.  Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold
harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Obligors, against
all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in
connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations.

 

12.14.              No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Section 12 is an
agreement solely among Secured Parties and Agents, and shall survive Full
Payment of the Obligations.  This Section 12 does not confer any rights or
benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person.  As between Borrowers and any
Agent, any action that any Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with
respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been
authorized and directed by Secured Parties.

 

SECTION 13.                  BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS

 

13.1.                     Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agents, Lenders, Secured
Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no
Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations
under any Loan Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in
compliance with Section 13.3.  Agents may treat the Person which made any Loan
as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in
accordance with Section 13.3.  Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

 

13.2.                     Participations.

 

13.2.1.                              Permitted Participants; Effect.  Subject to
Section 13.3.3, any Lender may sell to a financial institution or other entity
(“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such
Lender under any Loan Documents.  Despite any sale by a Lender of participating
interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents
shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the
holder of its Loans, U.S. Revolver Commitments and Canadian Commitments for all
purposes, all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if such Lender
had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Agents shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the
Loan Documents.  Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its
Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Agents and the other
Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant.  A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless Borrowers agree otherwise in
writing.  A Participant that would be a Canadian Lender if it were a Lender, and
that is a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act
(Canada) (or lends to the Canadian Borrower hereunder from a lending office
outside Canada) shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless the
Canadian Borrower agrees otherwise in writing.

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

13.2.2.                              Voting Rights.  Each Lender shall retain
the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any
amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents other than that
which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or
fees payable with respect to any Loan, U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian
Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Applicable
Commitment Termination Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled
payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan, U.S. Revolver Commitment or
Canadian Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor or substantially all
Collateral.

 

13.2.3.                              Participant Register.  Each Lender that
sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers
(solely for tax purposes), maintain a register in which it enters the
Participant’s name, address and interest in U.S. Revolver Commitments, Canadian
Commitments, Loans (and stated interest) and LC Obligations.  Entries in the
register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat
each Person recorded in the register as the owner of the participation for all
purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  No Lender shall have an
obligation to disclose any information in such register except to the extent
necessary to establish that a Participant’s interest is in registered form under
the Code.

 

13.2.4.                              Benefit of Setoff.  Borrowers agree that
each Participant shall have a right of setoff in respect of its participating
interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender,
and each Lender shall also retain the right of setoff with respect to any
participating interests sold by it.  By exercising any right of setoff, a
Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its
setoff, in accordance with Section 12.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.

 

13.3.                     Assignments.

 

13.3.1.                              Permitted Assignments.  A Lender may assign
to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying,
percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal
amount of U.S.$10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in
its discretion) and integral multiples of U.S.$5,000,000 in excess of that
amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights
and obligations, the aggregate amount of (i) the U.S. Revolver Commitments
retained by the transferor Lender is at least U.S.$10,000,000 (unless otherwise
agreed by Administrative Agent in its discretion) and (ii) the Canadian
Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is equal to an amount such that
the ratio of the U.S. Revolver Commitments retained by the transferor Lender to
the Canadian Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is equal to the ratio
that existed prior to such assignment; and (c) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance
and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance.  Nothing herein shall limit the
right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to
secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal
Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release
such Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

13.3.2.                              Effect; Effective Date.  Upon delivery to
Administrative Agent of an assignment notice in the form of Exhibit D and a
processing fee of U.S.$3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in
its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the
notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3.  From such effective date, the
Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents,
and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder.  Upon
consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and
Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or
new Notes, as

 

98

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The

applicable.  The transferee Lender shall comply with Section 5.10 and deliver,
upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Administrative
Agent.

 

13.3.3.                              Certain Assignees.  No assignment or
participation may be made to a Borrower, Affiliate of a Borrower, Defaulting
Lender or natural person.  Any assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall be
effective only upon payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to the
Applicable Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through
direct payment, purchases of participations, or other compensating actions as
such Agent deems appropriate), to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities
then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder.  If an assignment by a Defaulting
Lender shall become effective under Applicable Law for any reason without
compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a
Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs.

 

13.3.4.                              Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting
as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain
(a) a copy (or electronic equivalent) of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it, and (b) a register for recordation of the names, addresses,
U.S. Revolver Commitments and Canadian Commitments of, and the Loans, interest
and LC Obligations owing to, each Lender.  Entries in the register shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agents and Lenders shall treat
each lender recorded in such register as a Lender for all purposes under the
Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  The Administrative
Agent may choose to show only one Borrower as the borrower in the register,
without any effect on the liability of any Obligor with respect to the
Obligations.  The register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any
Lender, from time to time upon reasonable notice.

 

13.4.                     Replacement of Certain Lenders.  If (a) any Lender
gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or
if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 5.9 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable
to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.8, or
(b) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the
Borrower Agent 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, and consents required by, Section 13.3), all of its interests, rights (other
than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.7 and Section 5.9)
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an
Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.9) from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(iii)                               in the case of any such assignment resulting

(iv)                              such assignment does not conflict with
Applicable Law; and

 

(v)                                 in the case of any assignment resulting from
a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have
consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

delegation cease to apply.

 

SECTION 14.                  MISCELLANEOUS

 

14.1.                     Consents, Amendments and Waivers.

 

14.1.1.                              Amendment.  No modification of any Loan
Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver
of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written
agreement of Administrative Agent (with the consent of Required Lenders) and
each Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that

Applicable Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any
provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of
the Applicable Agent;

(c)                                  without the prior written consent of each

(C) Required Lenders; (iii) increase any advance rate (it being understood that
clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall not (A) limit the adjustment by the
Administrative Agent of the Availability Reserve in the Administrative Agent’s
administration of the Loans as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or
(B) prevent the Administrative Agent, in its administration of the Loans, from
restoring any component of the U.S. Revolver Borrowing Base or the Canadian

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

(e)                                  without the prior written consent of a
Secured Bank Product Provider, no modification shall be effective that affects
its relative payment priority under Section 5.6.2.

 

14.1.2.                              Limitations.  The agreement of Borrowers
shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan
Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Agents and/or
Issuing Banks as among themselves.  Only the consent of the parties to the Fee
Letter or any other agreement relating to fees or a Bank Product shall be
required for any modification of such agreement, and no Bank Product provider
(in such capacity) shall have any right to consent to modification of any Loan
Document other than its Bank Product agreement.  Any waiver or consent granted
by Agents or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only
for the matter specified.

 

14.1.3.                              Payment for Consents.  No Borrower will,
directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by
way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as
a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any
modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is
concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders
providing their consent.

 

14.2.                     Indemnity.  EACH BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD
HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED
AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON
OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE.  In no event shall any party to
a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an
Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  For the avoidance of
doubt, this Section 14.2 shall not apply to any Claim on account of Taxes
governed by (or excluded from the application of) Sections 3.7 or 5.9.

 

14.3.                     Notices and Communications.

 

14.3.1.                              Notice Address.  Subject to Section 4.1.4,
all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing
and shall be given to any Borrower, at Borrower Agent’s address shown on the
signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the
signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after
the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at
such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with
this Section 14.3.  Each such notice or other communication shall be effective
only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable
facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail,
three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage
pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal
delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to any Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.4,
2.3, 3.1.2, or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the
individual to whose attention at such Agent such notice is required to be sent. 
Any written notice or other communication that is not sent in conformity with
the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually
received by the noticed party.  Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be
deemed received by all Borrowers.

 

14.3.2.                              Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. 
Electronic and telephonic communications (including e-mail, messaging, voice
mail and websites) may be used only in a manner acceptable to Agents.  Secured
Parties make no assurance as to the privacy or security of electronic or
telephonic communications.  E-mail and voice mail shall not be effective notices
under the Loan Documents.

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

14.3.3.                              Platform.  Borrower Materials shall be
delivered pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, including
electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by Administrative Agent to an
electronic system maintained by Administrative Agent (“Platform”).  Borrowers
shall notify Administrative Agent of each posting of Borrower Materials on the
Platform and the materials shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent only
upon its receipt of such notice.  Borrower Materials and other information
relating to this credit facility may be made available to Secured Parties on the
Platform, and Obligors and Secured Parties acknowledge that “public” information
is not segregated from material non-public information on the Platform.  The
Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”  Administrative Agent does not
warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform nor the
adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for
any errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials or any issues involving the
Platform.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT
OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY
ANY AGENT WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  Secured Parties
acknowledge that Borrower Materials may include material non-public information
of Obligors and should not be made available to any personnel who do not wish to
receive such information or who may be engaged in investment or other
market-related activities with respect to any Obligor’s securities.  No Agent
Indemnitee shall have any liability to Borrowers, Secured Parties or any other
Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether
in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform,
including any unintended recipient, nor for delivery of Borrower Materials and
other information via the Platform, internet, e-mail or any other electronic
platform or messaging system.

 

14.3.4.                              Non-Conforming Communications.  Agents and
Lenders may rely upon any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of
any Borrower even if they were not made in a manner specified herein, were
incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the
recipient, varied from a later confirmation.  Each Borrower shall indemnify and
hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses
arising from any electronic or telephonic communication purportedly given by or
on behalf of a Borrower.

 

14.4.                     Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations.  Following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Agent may, in
its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrowers’ expense, pay any
amount or do any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or
otherwise lawfully requested by such Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or
collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any
Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of such Agent’s
Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium,
warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any
discharge of a Lien.  All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary
Expenses) of Agents under this Section shall be reimbursed to Agents by
Borrowers, on demand, with interest from the date incurred until paid in full,
at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  Any payment made or action
taken by Agents under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to
assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the
Loan Documents.

 

14.5.                     Credit Inquiries.  Agents and Lenders may (but shall
have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from
third parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary.

 

14.6.                     Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of
the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under
Applicable Law.  If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law,
it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining
provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

14.7.                     Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms.  The provisions
of the Loan Documents are cumulative.  The parties acknowledge that the Loan
Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar
matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be
performed as provided.  Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document
(by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any
provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another
Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

 

14.8.                     Counterparts; Execution.  Any Loan Document may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement
shall become effective when Administrative Agent has received counterparts
bearing the signatures of all parties hereto.  Delivery of a signature page of
any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement.  Any electronic
signature, contract formation on an electronic platform and electronic
record-keeping shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a
manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic
Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act.  Upon request by any Agent, any electronic
signature or delivery shall be promptly followed by a manually executed or paper
document.

 

14.9.                     Time is of the Essence.  Except as otherwise expressly
provided to the contrary herein or in another Loan Document, time is of the
essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations.

 

14.10.              Relationship with Lenders.  The obligations of each Lender
hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or
U.S. Revolver Commitments or Canadian Commitments of any other Lender.  Amounts
payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.  It
shall not be necessary for any Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purposes.  Nothing in this Agreement
and no action of any Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the
Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute any Agent and any
Secured Party to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind
of entity, nor to constitute control of any Obligor.

 

14.11.              No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with
all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrowers
acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging
or other services by any Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any
arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrowers and their
Affiliates, on one hand, and any Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or
any arranger, on the other hand; (ii) Borrowers have consulted their own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed
appropriate; and (iii) Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and
accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents; (b) each of Agents, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger
is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in
writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as
an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrowers, any of their Affiliates or any
other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and
(c) Agents, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad
range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrowers
and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests
to Borrowers or their Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have
against Agents, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any
breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction
contemplated by a Loan Document.

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

 

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

14.12.              Confidentiality.  Each of Agents, Lenders and Issuing Banks
shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives
(provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the
Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested
by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable
Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto;
(e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or
remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any
Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank
Product or to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are
to be made by reference to an Obligor or Obligor’s obligations; (g) with the
consent of Borrower Agent; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is
available to any Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates
on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrowers, or (i) on a
confidential basis to a provider of a Platform.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Agents and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information concerning
this credit facility for league table, tombstone and advertising purposes, and
may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising
materials that refer to this credit facility.  As used herein, “Information”
means all information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or
its business that is identified as confidential when delivered.  Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this
Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care
similar to that which it accords its own confidential information.  Each of
Agents, Lenders and Issuing Banks acknowledges that (i) Information may include
material non-public information; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures
regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle
such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law.

 

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

 

14.14.              GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT
TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the
portions of the following document that are marked [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The
redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

14.15.              Consent to Forum.  EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH
JURISDICTION OVER NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO
ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT
SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT.  EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS,
OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR
SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM.  EACH PARTY HERETO
IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN
SECTION 14.3.1.  Nothing herein shall limit the right of any Agent or any Lender
to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right
of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. 
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by any Agent
of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

 

14.16.              Waivers by Borrowers.  To the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, each Borrower waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which each
Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any
kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral;
(b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment,
maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any
commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties
at any time held by any Agent on which a Borrower may in any way be liable, and
hereby ratifies anything any Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to
taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that
might be required by a court prior to allowing any Agent to exercise any rights
or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws;
(f) any claim against any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any
Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating
thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof.  Each Borrower acknowledges that
the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Agents, Issuing Banks and
Lenders entering into this Agreement and that they are relying upon the
foregoing in their dealings with Borrowers.  Each Borrower has reviewed the
foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily
waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal
counsel.  In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written
consent to a trial by the court.

 

14.17.              Patriot Act Notice.  Agents and Lenders hereby notify
Borrowers that pursuant to the Patriot Act, Agents and Lenders are required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, including
its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow
Agents and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act.  Agents
and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if
any, and may require information regarding Borrowers’ management and owners,
such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth.  The
Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by any Agent or any Lender,
provide all documentation and other information that such Agent or such Lender
requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know
your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the
Patriot Act.

 

14.18.              Existing Credit Agreement.

 

14.18.1.                       Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit
Agreement.  This Agreement shall on the Closing Date amend, restate and
supersede the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, except as provided in
this Section 14.18.  All references in the Loan Documents or any other document
or instrument executed or delivered in connection therewith to “Agreement” shall
hereafter be deemed to be references to this Agreement.  It is the intention of
the parties hereto that this Agreement shall not

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the

constitute (a) a novation or discharge of the indebtedness and obligations
evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement, or (b) a release of the security
interests granted thereunder.  On the Closing Date, the rights and obligations
of the parties evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by
the Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  As of the Closing Date, the
Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued
pursuant and subject to the conditions of Section 2.3 hereof and the Borrowers
hereby affirm their respective obligations thereunder.

 

14.18.2.                       Interest and Fees Under Superseded Agreement. 
All interest and fees and expenses, if any, owing or accruing under or in
respect of the Existing Credit Agreement through the Closing Date shall be
calculated as of the Closing Date (pro rated in the case of any fractional
periods), and shall be paid on the Closing Date.  Commencing on the Closing
Date, the unused line and facility fees shall be payable by the applicable
Borrower or Borrowers to the Applicable Agent for the account of the Applicable
Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2.

 

14.19.              Pari Passu Treatment.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein, the Administrative Agent may and, upon the request of the Required
Lenders, shall, upon notice to each Lender, effect the remaining provisions of
this Section 14.19 by causing each payment or prepayment of principal and
interest received after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default hereunder to be distributed pari passu among the Lenders, in accordance
with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Obligations owing to each
Lender divided by the Total Outstandings.  Such notice shall also attach a
schedule setting forth the Total Outstandings at such time including a breakdown
of the Total U.S. Revolver Outstandings and the Total Canadian Outstandings. 
Nothing in this Section 14.19 shall constitute a guarantee by any Obligor of the
obligations of any other Obligor.

 

(b)                                 Following the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default or acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Section 11.2 and receipt of a notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to
clause (a) above, each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a
right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower (pursuant to
Section 11.4 or otherwise), including a secured claim under Section 506 of the
Bankruptcy Code of the United States or other security or interest arising from
or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under the Bankruptcy
Code, or any other insolvency, debtor relief or debt adjustment law or
otherwise, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of the Loans,
Letters of Credit, LC Obligations and other Obligations held by it as a result
of which the unpaid principal portion of the Obligations held by it shall be
proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Obligations held
by any other Lender, it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased from
such other Lender a participation in the Obligations held by such other Lender,
so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Obligations and
participations in Obligations held by each Lender shall be in the same
proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Obligations then
outstanding as the principal amount of the Obligations held by it prior to such
exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim was to the principal amount of
all Obligations outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or
counterclaim; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or
adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 14.19 and the payment giving
rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or
adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase
price or prices or adjustments restored without interest.

 

(c)                                  Following the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default or acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Section 11.2, each Lender agrees that, upon notice from the Administrative Agent
to such Lender, which notice shall be provided upon the request of the Required
Lenders or may be provided by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion,
such Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from each other Lender a
participation in the risk associated with the

NOTE: A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to the

redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

Obligations held by such other Lender, so that the aggregate principal amount of
the Obligations held by each Lender shall be equivalent to such Lender’s Pro
Rata share of the Obligations.  Upon demand by the Administrative Agent, made at
the request of the Required Lenders, each Lender that has purchased such
participation (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall pay the amount of such participation
to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender whose outstanding
Loans and participations in LC Obligations exceed their Pro Rata share of the
Obligations.  Any such participation may, at the option of such Purchasing
Lender, be paid in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as the case may be (the
“Funding Currency”) (in an amount equal to the then applicable U.S. Dollar
Equivalent amount of such participation) and such payment shall be converted by
the Administrative Agent at the exchange rate into the currency of the Loan or
LC Obligation in which such participation is being purchased.  The Borrowers
agree to indemnify each Purchasing Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred
by such Purchasing Lender as a result of any payment on account of such
participation in a currency other than that funded by the Purchasing Lender.

 

(d)                                 Each Borrower expressly consents to the
foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Person holding such a participation
in the Obligations deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all
rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all
moneys owing by such Borrower to such Person as fully as if such Person had made
a Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

14.20.              NO ORAL AGREEMENT  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
